Fatigue is one of the first signs of conception that shows up in as early as seven days from the day you have conceived. One of the most common and logical explanations for fatigue is due to the heart working overtime to pump extra blood to the foetus.
Changes in Breasts :
Most women experience swelling and pain in their nipples and breasts. This is due to increase in breast tissue and hormones that are formed by increased blood supply to that region. The nipples become sore and hard and in some cases may also develop dark circles around and underneath them .

The most widely experienced sign amongst all women of different sizes and ages. This is also known as ‘morning sickness, most women will also vomit as a result of nausea. While during pregnancy women can feel like vomiting and experience nausea at any moment it is mostly in the mornings that this sign occurs. Women who vomit regularly due to nausea also get a sense of smell and cannot stand the strong odor of some or perfumes foods as well. Some may even feel like vomiting once they smell such things. Nausea normally starts a few weeks after conception and mostly women by then know that they are pregnant.
Cramps in the abdomen :
A lot many changes occur especially in the belly region to accommodate the foetus. It is as though the stomach is making some room by shifting some vital organs a bit here and there just like you would make some space in your living room for a visitor to sleep. The stretching of ovary tissues time and again are one of the main reasons for experiencing cramps in the abdomen area. The sensation is like a mild tickling or pinching from within. In some cases there could be sharp pains as well. This gain would occur in the early stages of conception and mostly is a confirmation for women to notice some changes inside their body.
