The very first signs of pregnancy. Exceptions to the rules. Diagnosis by detecting hCG in the blood and urine of a woman

Long before yesterday evening, you and your sweetheart began to plan: you focused on a healthy lifestyle, excluded from life bad habits, calculated the best day for conception. And so, just yesterday, you surrendered to love with your husband completely. And today you expect after conception.

What are they, what are they and in general can they be? Or when the days come in which you can notice the first symptoms of fertilization.

Everything related to conception and information about the very first signs of pregnancy, you will read in this article.

To know the exact day of conception, you need to have an organism that works like a clock.

Every woman has individual character, so the time of its arrival varies.

If monthly cycle a woman has a systematic one, the girl perfectly feels her body and sees all the changes that occur to her every month, one can judge the accuracy of the arrival of ovulation. But this does not mean that she will become pregnant on the same days.

Several factors may influence this:

  • The day you had sex. Spermatozoa in a woman's body can live up to 6 days;
  • How long was the journey for the tadpole to reach the egg. These are: 2 centimeters of the cervix, 5 centimeters of the uterine cavity and 12 centimeters of the uterine tube. In time it will take about 3 hours.

After the sperm has reached the egg, fertilization occurs. From that moment on, it has a name - a zygote, which immediately begins to divide into cells until it turns into an embryo. During division, the zygote continues its journey to the uterine cavity.

Somewhere on the fifth or sixth day, the embryo reaches its goal, but is looking for appropriate place for attachment. Such free swimming can last for two whole days.

When the place is determined, it begins to sink deep into the walls of the uterus, which can cause a slight, as it hurts blood vessels. It is on these days that a woman can detect small bloody issues from the vagina or see a small smearing spot on the linen. This discharge is called implantation bleeding.

In total, this takes a week, and they may be the first signs of pregnancy after conception.

Signs of pregnancy after conception

As you can see, the process of fertilization is not simple. And it takes a little time to understand that a woman is expecting a baby.

There are ladies who claim to feel their position the day after the alleged conception. But this applies more to the so-called psychological feeling but not physical. Their belief in fertilization generates, about which the pregnant women themselves talk so much.

Dear girls, as many would like to feel pregnant right away, but this is impossible. Most early signs pregnancies may appear after a few days.

So, the earliest symptoms that a woman is expecting a baby are:

  • Implantation bleeding. We have already talked about it, but this may not be observed in everyone;
  • Increased salivation. Moreover, it occurs not only during the contemplation of food, but also in addition to this;
  • Cramps in the calf area, especially at night;
  • Dark spots. Some girls notice such spots on their face or notice a darkened line from the navel to the pubis;
  • Metallic taste in the mouth;
  • Problems with the intestines. Basically - it's constipation;
  • Change in food and taste preferences;
  • Soreness of the nipples and their swelling. Nature has laid in a woman the ability to lactate. And when a child is born in the body, it begins to actively prepare for feeding. Perhaps it will darken, individual tubercles will swell, the halo around the nipple will increase. In some situations, colostrum appears - a small yellowish discharge from the nipples;
  • Frequent urination. This is due to the hCG hormone, which supplies the small pelvis with a fast blood supply, which immediately leads to frequent calls. Even if the amount of urine is insignificant;
  • Rapid fatigue and drowsiness. progesterone in the body future mother begins to work with a sedative effect, and on top of that, the load increases, so he does not have enough strength for a full-fledged charge for a woman;
  • Another hormone progesterone can increase natural out of the vagina;
  • Emotional swings. Then the lady may experience high spirits and immediately cause a slight remark to lower it. From whiny it turns into playful, and then flows into the blues. And so on.
  • Vertigo. Due to hormonal changes in the body of the expectant mother, arterial pressure. Especially, this applies to people with congenital reduced pressure(hypotonic).

When and for how long can you feel pregnant?

All of the above symptoms may appear immediately after the conception process, or they may not be at all or make themselves felt much later.

If we talk about more accurate ones, then here it will be after the second week of fertilization.

Women expecting a baby celebrate more later dates pregnancy the following symptoms:

  • Delay of menstruation. One of the most exact signs pregnancy, given that the woman is fully healthy.
  • basal temperature. Continues to keep elevated, above 37 degrees, then this may indicate possible pregnancy. It is worth measuring it in the morning (so that the body is in a state of calm for about 6 hours), without getting out of bed, an ordinary thermometer is inserted into the rectum (you can in the vagina or in the mouth) and leave it there for several minutes. This temperature should be measured at the same time, use the same thermometer, do not change the place of measurement.
  • Positive pregnancy test. It is done after a delay. Urine is used in the morning (if the delay is insignificant). After a couple of minutes, you can see the result. Even the weakest second strip on the test can confirm a positive result. It is worth considering what can show and.
  • HCG analysis. It is handed over for 3-5 days of delay. Blood is taken from a vein in the morning on an empty stomach. Situations where blood is donated at other times, you need to come without eating for 4-6 hours. Enhanced level HCG speaks of the expectation of a child, and by the number of levels, one can judge the term of the embryo.
  • Enlarged cervix. When a woman is sure that all her symptoms indicate the imminent appearance of a child, then this can be confirmed at a doctor's appointment. Any gynecologist will see a bluish tint of the cervix and feel for an enlarged uterus.
  • ultrasound control. When there are several days of delay, you can contact the gynecologist and do an ultrasound. Already at 16-18 days from the alleged conception, a small, not yet a child, but an embryo is visible for sure. Also, with the help of ultrasound, the doctor will exclude an ectopic.
  • A common symptom is. It appears 30-40 days from conception. Characterized by dizziness and vomiting. We note that toxicosis is an optional companion of a pregnant woman.

A bit of antiquity in our topic

Everyone knows that in ancient times our ancestors did not have such a rich set of pregnancy definitions. They, however, like us, always wanted to know about their child much earlier. I want to know about conception almost immediately, the very next day.

So our ancestors were looking for all sorts of ways to determine pregnancy immediately after ovulation.

So they had their own methods:

  • Jewish women on such days were forced to walk on tall grass, and if there was a deep mark on it, then it means that they were pregnant.
  • Egypt immediately watered its expectant mothers with buddu-ka plus grass mother's milk who gave birth to a boy. If after that the woman became ill, everything came back, then this was considered a sure sign of pregnancy.
  • Even the ancient Egyptians gave the girls to pee in a container with wheat and barley. As a result, if wheat germinated, it will be, if barley -. In a situation where there were no results, nothing sprouted, it meant no pregnancy. Interesting fact: after, somewhere in the 20th century, studies were carried out, and so, the results state that the accuracy of this method is 70%. Here's how. Girls, take note, you will be the first.
  • And the Germans used women's urine to water flowers. And if after watering they bloomed, came to life and were fragrant, then she is expecting a child soon.
  • The Italians generally mixed wine and urine in a 1:1 ratio. If the liquid became transparent, cheers -. In principle, this can be explained scientifically: the reaction of alcohol with protein in the urine.
  • In some ancient civilizations, women collected urine in a container and dipped an ordinary metal key into it. Four hours later he was removed from there. Seeing the trace of the key at the bottom, they congratulated on conception.

There are also quite ridiculous definitions of an interesting position:

  • In a certain country, two onions were placed in a container of water: one was considered pregnant, and the other was not. Whichever one reaches 4 cm first, that will mean conception or not.
  • The notorious Hippocrates claimed that the iris of the eyes changes in a pregnant woman;
  • Somewhere in one of the countries at the wedding, the bride was wearing a necklace. Days passed and when the beads began to press on the neck, it meant a quick replenishment in the family. Science gives an explanation here too: many expectant mothers suffer from an enlarged thyroid gland.
  • But some luminaries of science have come up with this method: injecting the urine of a possible pregnant woman into experimental animals (mice, rabbits). After 4-5 days, the animal was dissected. Enlarged ovaries talked about a positive result. This method of determination was used until the beginning of the 20th century.

Reading these lines, you think how good it is that the civilized world is on the street and science has provided us with a lot precise methods determining an interesting situation without suffering anyone, including women.

When pregnancy is confirmed

Two cherished stripes on the test

Separately, I would like to discuss the question of how to behave as a pregnant woman.

Days passed and a miracle happened. The woman is 100% sure that she is pregnant. Then she starts long haul, 9 months long, when you need to be careful, monitor your health, take care of physical activity and getting ready to be a mom. Especially you need to monitor your condition.

sticking to simple rules, a woman will give birth to a healthy and strong child without any problems.

The rules are as follows:

  • Register with a women's clinic.
  • Hand over everything prescribed by a doctor.
  • Before each visit to the gynecologist, take urine for analysis;
  • Visit the doctor in the first and second trimester - once a month, in the third - every two weeks.
  • If any abnormalities are found in the condition of the pregnant woman, inform the observing doctor;
  • Proper nutrition, stress minimization, good mood - this is the key to a successful pregnancy.

Whatever the signs of pregnancy in one woman, in another, they can be exactly the opposite. Early symptoms are not always present, and sometimes they are absent altogether. And only time will tell whether you will be a mom or you still have everything ahead.

On what day after conception do the first signs of pregnancy appear? This question worries women, especially young people. For outwardly solid and right question lies the desire to calm yourself and get an answer to the question - on what day after sex can signs of pregnancy appear?

The first difficulty lies in the fact that conception does not occur at the time of sex, but over 5 to 14 days. It is also worth noting that the hormonal background of the body changes for another 10-12 days. This means that the first tests can show pregnancy no earlier than 15-20 days from the moment of sexual intercourse.

However, the female body can give its own signals about whether the fertilization process is completed or not. We will talk about this and other issues related to manifestations in the first days after conception.

It is also worth mentioning here that the process of conception means the completion of sexual intercourse. Do not forget that the period of conception can reach several days. Maximum exact result expect no earlier than 4 - 5 weeks from the moment of intercourse. Earlier attempts to test can lead to the so-called "false negative" result, when the test shows that there is no fact of pregnancy, but in fact it already exists or will occur in the near future.

How long does it take to get tested for HCG?

HCG or pregnancy hormone provides fairly reliable information about the fact of pregnancy in the first days after conception. In the body of a non-pregnant woman, such a hormone is not produced. According to the developed program for determining pregnancy using hCG hormone an analysis for its presence / absence is given 15 to 20 days after sexual intercourse, which is considered conception.

Does basal body temperature change after conception?

The change in basal temperature in the first days after conception is that it remains elevated. However, there is a “window” in such a change when basal body temperature decreases for the period when the embryo is implanted in the uterus. Such a phenomenon has received the definition of "impantational retraction."

Is it possible to conceive immediately after menstruation?

Yes, in the first days after the end of menstruation, conception is not only possible, but these days are considered favorable for it.

For information - the possibility of conception always exists, that is, on any day, even when menstruation is coming. It was written above that the process is not instantaneous and its effectiveness and duration depend on many factors.

Is it possible to conceive after ovulation?

Ovulation itself (the fact that a mature cell leaves the ovary) is necessary for conception. Moreover, without ovulation, conception is impossible.

However, the very first stage - fertilization occurs only on the first day after ovulation. If it does not happen, the egg dies. This fact helps to determine that the highest probability of conception is 1 to 3 days before ovulation, as well as directly on the day of ovulation.

If sexual intercourse occurs after 12 - 20 hours after ovulation or later, conception will be unlikely.

Calculation of favorable days for conceiving a child

The main criteria for the calculation should be the regularity and duration menstrual cycle. The most favorable is the day of ovulation and 1-3 days before it. Counting which days of the cycle falls given period plan to conceive.

Determination of the date of birth by the date of conception?

It is worth noting that childbirth can occur earlier or later, even by 2-3 weeks, since the body of every woman has soy features. This is not a pathology, only a feature. Many women instinctively feel the first signs of conception and can more accurately determine the date of birth.

Does the date of conception affect the gender of the unborn child?

Every family really wants to give birth to a child of a particular gender, and sometimes two at once. Unfortunately, none modern techniques family planning or gender calculators do not work. The female egg carries only YY chromosomes, that is, only female. The spermatozoon carries the XY chromosomes, both male and female. The gender of the unborn child depends on which pair of chromosomes will merge in unity in the first days immediately after conception. Man has not yet learned to influence this process.

A huge amount of information presented on the Internet that there are methods to increase the likelihood of having a child of the right gender is not true. 50/50 chance.

The only way to predict the sex of a child is to conceive him in the laboratory in the process of artificial insemination.

What processes occur in the female body in the first days after conception?

The body is actively rebuilding and preparing for pregnancy. The hormonal background changes, the uterus increases in size, its walls become thinner, the cervix closes. One of the ovaries turns into a hormonal generator, a corpus luteum is formed in it, which produces hormones to maintain pregnancy.

What are the feelings in the first days after conception?

In the body at the same time flows a large number of processes that directly or indirectly affect our physical and emotional condition. The fact of conception is not felt by a woman, although many do not think so.

Most of the symptoms presented as symptoms of conception (not to be confused with pregnancy), such as nausea, drowsiness, abdominal pain, mood swings, loss or increase in appetite, and so on, have nothing to do with conception. These manifestations would have appeared anyway, and the woman subconsciously or consciously attributes them to conception. Having studied in detail the process of conception and the first days of embryo development, you will understand that there can be no changes that could affect the state of the body and manifest itself externally or internally.

It is also worth noting that women often try to find signs of conception in themselves immediately after intercourse or in the first hours after it. It was written above that the period of conception from the moment the sperm enters the vagina to the fact of fertilization and the movement of the egg can be several days. Therefore, any sensations associated with the signs of conception are far-fetched or imposed from the outside.

The first signs of pregnancy (precisely pregnancy, when the hormonal background has already been rebuilt) appear in the majority at 2-3 months, and many feel like future mothers when others notice a rounded tummy.

Can abdominal pain be the first signs of conception?

Pain in the abdomen for one to two weeks after intercourse has nothing to do with possible conception and especially pregnancy.

Two weeks later, in the case of conception, when the embryo is in the process of implantation in the uterus, that is, it is looking for a comfortable place for itself, some (not even most) women may experience mild, pulling pains in the lower abdomen, reminiscent of pain during menstruation.

Similar pains, in a more pronounced manifestation, appearing on one side in the ovarian region during the period 2-3 months after conception, may be evidence ectopic pregnancy when the embryo develops into fallopian tube or miscarriage.

What does discharge after conception mean?

Discharges of a bloody nature, brown or pinkish, observed immediately or up to 4 days after intercourse, have nothing in common with conception. IN this case they are harbingers of early menstruation or signs gynecological diseases of a different nature.

If similar secretions appear after 1 - 2 weeks, when the process of implantation of the embryo occurs - this is a consequence of this process itself. Such discharge does not last long, 1 - 4 hours.

brown or bleeding, observed in the period of 3 - 12 weeks from the moment of conception, are most often signs of a miscarriage. Most women do not pay attention to them, taking them for menstruation, because they have no idea about pregnancy.

Bloody or brown discharge that began after 8 to 12 weeks is most likely a sign of an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. Such discharge may be accompanied by pain in the ovarian region on one side and pulling pains in the lower abdomen.

What does nausea and vomiting mean in the first days after conception?

A fairly large number of women, especially those who do not want pregnancy within 1-8 days after sex, feel nausea, and sometimes vomiting. They consider these manifestations the result of pregnancy, or rather the toxicosis associated with it.

These manifestations have nothing to do with pregnancy or conception in the period from 10 to 40 days from the moment of sex. Most often these are far-fetched symptoms, sometimes food poisoning. It was described above why the manifestations of pregnancy cannot occur in the first weeks after sex.

For reference. Toxicosis of pregnant women manifests itself at least from the 8th week of pregnancy. Many women may not experience it at all during the entire period, many feel it as a reaction to new foods that are eaten.

How to behave after conception?

There are some rules that should be observed after conception:

    After 14 days from the moment of sexual intercourse, consult a doctor to examine and determine whether the embryo has attached to the uterus correctly, whether there is an ectopic pregnancy or other pathologies;

    Do not take any medications that have not been discussed with the doctor in advance when planning or confirming pregnancy;

    If before conception you underwent a course of treatment or took drugs from chronic diseases(epilepsy, asthma, arrhythmia) do not stop taking them, but inform the doctor about the pregnancy as soon as possible, and the obstetrician who has been leading you about how long, what specific and in what doses of medication you are taking;

    Continue to eat everything you ate before, the main thing is not to be zealous with seasonings and spices;

    Leave the daily routine and sports activities unchanged, the main thing is to exclude overwork.

Should you continue having sex after conception?

Yes. sex life continue without restriction, however, if there have been problems with pregnancy or bearing in the past, consult with an obstetrician.

Is alcohol harmful after conception?

Definitely alcohol is bad. And in ordinary life it is harmful to the body, and in the process of conception and pregnancy, when there is a restructuring and hormonal changes it is doubly harmful. Limit all alcohol consumption throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding to zero.

Against this background, many expectant mothers are very worried that they drank at a party or event the day before or on the evening of conception. Such experiences are absolutely in vain, because while the process of fertilization and conception is going on, any alcohol will already be removed from the body.

What should smokers do when they conceive?

A lot has been said and written about the dangers of smoking in general, and especially during pregnancy. Nicotine is produced by the body and is used to break down certain amino acids. Smoking releases nicotine from the outside and the body stops producing it. Therefore, after giving up cigarettes, discomfort is felt for some time - this is the body restarting the process of producing nicotine.

Pregnant women should definitely stop smoking. If you cannot do this on your own, any smoking pills and patches should be discussed with the obstetrician and therapist before use so as not to harm the child.

In the first days after conception, smoking will be harmless to the fetus, but you still need to limit the number of cigarettes you smoke. Weakness now can come back to haunt a child after many years.

How do birth control pills affect conception?

All contraceptives approved for sale, including pills ( oral contraceptives) create enough reliable protection from unwanted conception. Such drugs do not have any effect on the body, they bind the hormones involved in the process of conception. At the same time, in the future, when the family decides to conceive a child, refusal of contraceptives will lead to full recovery hormonal balance, which in no way will affect the reproductive ability of a woman.

Every contraceptive drug has its own recovery period. More often we are talking about a few weeks, less often a few months.

Outcome

Conception on early dates does not manifest itself in any physical or emotional health women. Almost all "symptoms" and "manifestations" are far-fetched or imposed. Soberly assess the situation and determine for yourself the options for its development. Do not pay attention to the advice of friends and acquaintances, especially those who have not given birth.
If conception has occurred, do not rush to have an abortion or be upset. Discuss this with your family, the birth of a child is a gift and happiness for a woman.

To give birth healthy child, it is important for a future mother to know how much time should elapse from conception to the onset of symptoms in order to rebuild her body to maintain healthy lifestyle life. You can recognize the first signs of pregnancy after conception after 5 days with the help of various symptoms that manifest themselves differently in all women.

The onset of pregnancy

Many women want to know about pregnancy even before they can take a test. Therefore, they are interested in how much time should elapse from the moment of conception to the appearance of the first symptoms.

As a rule, pregnancy occurs 14-16 days after the start of the last menstruation - this period falls on the ovulation of the egg.

It is possible to determine the conception of a child in a few days or weeks, but it all depends on the body of the woman undergoing various changes, which influence the appearance of certain signs. Some symptoms appear immediately, while others may occur only when the child begins to move in the womb.

Signs of pregnancy immediately after conception

Expectant mothers, eagerly awaiting the birth of a baby, want to know how many days pregnancy can be recognized. It is believed that the first signs may occur as early as five days after the fertilization of the egg.

Colorless vaginal discharge

They accompany a woman throughout the entire period of pregnancy, appear immediately after conception. They are characterized by a homogeneous consistency, no smell (if the discharge is with blood streaks, greenish yellow, curdled consistency, they may be a sign of a disease).

Increasing the sensitivity of the breast

In this state, the breast often occurs before menstruation, however, at conception, pain, especially in the area of ​​the nipples. In addition, there is a feeling of swelling of the breast, which increases in size, the nipples darken a little, and the halos become more blurry.

Frequent urination

Associated with increased concentration female hormones and blood flow to the pelvic organs.

Frequent urination occurs at night and, unlike cystitis, does not cause pain, while the amount of urine excreted can be different.

Depression and general malaise

These signs often go unnoticed. future mother may decide that she is ill or simply overtired at work. However, if nervousness appears, fast fatiguability and drowsiness headache, slight temperature and mood swings, this may indicate that pregnancy has occurred.

Also to early symptoms conception of a child can be attributed over-sensitivity to smells, new eating habits, increased salivation, sleep disturbance, or slight swelling of the fingers.

Signs of conception after 7 days

If in the first days pregnancy is difficult enough to recognize, then the signs that appear in the first two weeks make it possible to more accurately determine it. However, among them there are those that can be the cause of any disease. Therefore, only a gynecologist can make an accurate diagnosis. What are the signs after the first week of conception?

By 7-10 days, a woman may notice the following symptoms.

Smearing brown discharge

This is implantation bleeding, reminiscent of the beginning or end of menstruation. It occurs due to the penetration of a fertilized egg into the uterine wall. In this case, the vessels are damaged, the blood from which flows through the vagina. Such discharge is usually mild and lasts no more than two days. However, with a long and profuse bleeding it is necessary to consult a gynecologist, as there is a threat of miscarriage of the child.

Ovulation usually occurs on the 14-16th day of the cycle and at the same time pain may appear, which most likely indicates that pregnancy has occurred. However, such pain is not normal and may be a symptom of a threatened miscarriage of the child.

Nausea and vomiting

One of the most obvious signs pregnancy, the cause of which is the production of hormones such as hCG, prolactin and progesterone in the body. The duration of toxicity depends on individual characteristics organism.

Often, severe nausea (vomiting) is experienced by women who have problems in the gastrointestinal tract.

Weight change

When pregnancy occurs, a restructuring occurs in the body of the expectant mother. hormonal background, due to which a woman can either lose weight dramatically or gain weight.

Signs of conception after 14 days

In the first two weeks, it is not always possible to determine pregnancy, the signs may be poorly pronounced or indicate an onset of the disease.

You can most accurately understand whether pregnancy has occurred or not, two weeks after ovulation, when the following symptoms appear.

Delayed menstruation

If a woman has regular periods, then their absence most likely indicates the conception of a child. You can check this with the help of a test that is done from the first day of the delay.

Increase in basal body temperature

Cycling women often measure basal temperature, which is caused by changes in the level of progesterone in the blood. Before conception, the basal temperature will be within the normal range, that is, no more than 37 degrees, after fertilization it will increase and become above 37 degrees.

Methods for determining pregnancy

Many of these signs a woman may not notice. This is usually due to the fact that she does not expect pregnancy, writes off her symptoms as a disease, or she has irregular periods. In this case, you can determine the conception of a child using the following methods:


Thus, when pregnancy occurs, signs may appear that help to know about the conception of a child. The first signs appear after 5 days. They are manifested in the general malaise of a woman. Within a week, new symptoms appear, associated with the appearance of discharge, nausea, pulling pains lower abdomen. Two weeks later, signs such as a delay in menstruation and an increase in basal temperature speak of the onset of pregnancy. However, an accurate diagnosis can be determined by a pregnancy test, an hCG test, a gynecologist, or an ultrasound.

Discharge after ovulation if conception was successful

The emergence of a new life in a woman's body is subject to a number of complex interrelated processes. Provided that all the factors for conception have shown themselves positively, and the development of the fetus. Become a clear signal discharge after ovulation, if conception has occurred successfully and the woman will soon become a mother.

  • What happens after conception?
  • Changes in the female body during pregnancy

What day does conception occur after ovulation?

The reproductive system is built very intelligently and fragilely. Every twenty-eight days, she potentially prepares for the birth of a new life, which means that the body almost every month waits for the moment when the germ cell meets the sperm.

The menstrual cycle resembles a general preparation for the main event - ovulation. - this is the key, the most important link in the process of the emergence of a new life. Depending on whether the egg was released in the cycle, the possibility also depends.

When an egg is released in a woman's body, a germ cell is released from a maturing follicle, ready to merge with a spermatozoon. Towards her other half, she moves along the fallopian tube, hastily driven by the villi of the mucous membrane.

Nature has determined how many days after ovulation conception occurs - this is the middle of the cycle. Girls with a stable cycle can even find out what day conception occurs after the act or plan it in advance. In some cases, ovulation is shifted by several hours or days, this can happen for the following reasons:

  • past illnesses;
  • taking medication;
  • changes in the climatic zone;
  • stress;
  • overheating or hypothermia, etc.

Women who want to get pregnant "catch" the exit of the germ cell with different accessible ways- by measuring the temperature in the rectum, express tests, etc. Knowing on what day after ovulation conception occurs, you can make contact with the child's father or. In this matter, you can trust scientific methods, but also listen own feelings- for the majority during this period, but sexual desire intensifies.

The luteinizing hormone, which reaches its maximum during this period, plays a decisive role in the release of the germ cell. Under the action of the hormone, the walls of the follicle burst in one and a half to two days, and the female reproductive cell is sent to the uterus.

To understand when conception occurs after ovulation, you need to know how long the most important cells live - eggs and sperm. The female reproductive cell is the most capricious, as a real lady is supposed to be - her life lasts only 12-24 hours. But a group of assertive "suitors", although not quickly, but confidently strive for their chosen one for several hours after penetrating into the female body. In order for the sperm to enter the uterus, they have a rather dangerous path. The genital tract secrete a mucous secret that prevents their progress. Despite the fact that it takes several hours for the sperm to fuse with the egg, they themselves live for about six days. Some spermatozoa become inactive on the 5th day.

The result - fertilization after the release of the egg from the follicle takes place directly on the first day, since it simply does not survive anymore. If the sperm is late, then the "second half" dies.

If we take the time of sex as a basis and consider the question of how much conception occurs after the act, then here we need to start from just the opposite - from the time of life male cell. As mentioned above, sperm are most capable in the first six days after intercourse. This means that even if the female reproductive cell was not yet ready to accept the spermatozoon directly during the PA, then already on the fifth day of the spermatozoon's stay in the uterus, their fusion can occur and a zygote is formed. Therefore, when conception occurs, it will not be possible to determine exactly after the act, because the process can take up to five days. But this means that within a few days after sex future mom can become a happy owner little miracle under the heart.

What are the feelings after ovulation, if conception has occurred?

The question of the meeting of cells is another 50% success on the way to the formation of a zygote. Nobody knows exactly what day fertilization occurs after conception, but most of the medical literature determines that the necessary time for fertilization is approximately seven days.

The fusion of two germ cells in a significant part of cases does not drastically affect the health of a woman. After all, to start the hormonal changes in the body, it is necessary to implant the embryo into the uterus, which is worth waiting for.

Nevertheless, indirect symptoms successful ovulation does exist. Those girls who want to get pregnant and for a long time they cannot do this, they know how to understand about the onset of pregnancy, therefore they follow this process with special attention. They already know what kind of discharge after ovulation, if conception has occurred, so they are looking forward to them. So, they include:

  • Persistently elevated basal temperature, which usually decreases after "idle" ovulation. As a rule, a temperature of 37 degrees is considered normal, because the metabolism in the body of the expectant mother accelerates, which means that the temperature also rises. When measuring basal temperature after successful fertilization, the indicators may increase by several divisions to create a comfortable temperature regime for the zygote.
  • Breast engorgement and. Since the level of hormones is still high in the first days after ovulation, the processes regulated by these hormones remain relevant.

What is the discharge after ovulation, if conception has occurred?

The process of the release of the germ cell may be accompanied by minor allocation blood during violation of the integrity of the follicle and damage smallest vessels but this is not the case for all women. Knowing how it feels after ovulation, if conception has occurred, the expectant mother may not worry about the discharge. Blood is also not always visible. Rarely when underwear there are clear spots of blood that stood out directly from the follicle.

Discharge during implantation of the zygote into the wall of the uterus may become more pronounced. This happens approximately seven days after fertilization. During this time, the uterus receives a signal that it is necessary to accept the embryo. Normal changes occur with the uterus - its walls soften, swell, store nutrients, and microscopic villi work by "capturing" the fertilized oocyte.

The microtrauma that occurs with a tiny damage to the uterine wall during (a week later) provokes implantation bleeding, traces of which can be seen on the underwear. Do not be afraid, because a few drops of blood in the middle of the cycle do not speak of pathology at all, and bleeding itself is the norm for this significant event. The absence of implantation bleeding does not guarantee the absence of conception.

What are the feelings after ovulation, if conception has occurred?

The first fourteen days after conception are extremely important period for the fetus and intriguing for the expectant mother. She does not feel how many days conception occurs after the act, she does not yet know what is happening to her body, and the embryo is already developing in her with might and main. By this time, the embryo is well immersed in the villi of the uterus, and it, in turn, signals the beginning of gestation to other systems and organs.

From this moment, a specific hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, will enter the blood and urine of the pregnant woman. Based on the presence of this hormone, most of it is arranged. Unfortunately, the first week does not yet give high level hormone, so tests can't yet confirm or disprove pregnancy. But right after the date of the expected period, which potentially should have come in 2 weeks, such a test can be done.

Consider what happens after conception by day.

Period Changes taking place
1-5 day In the first four days, the zygote actively divides exponentially. Daughter cells appear. Simultaneously, the zygote moves down the fallopian tube and descends into the uterus for attachment. As a result of division, a blastula appears - a small vesicle that has a cavity inside. The walls of the blastula consist of two layers. The outer layer of smaller cells is called the trophoblast. From it, the outer shells of the embryo are formed. And the larger cells located inside the blastula give rise to the embryo. By this time, the embryo boasts already 58 cells and a growth of a third of a millimeter. Initiated - the release of the embryo from the protein coat.
6-7 day At this time, the embryo is attached to the wall of the uterus. A special enzyme is released on the surface of the blastula, which makes the walls of the uterus looser. As a rule, the mucous membrane of the organ is already ready to accept the embryo - the walls of the uterus become thicker, the blood vessels grow, the uterine glands are stimulated. Small villi appear on the surface of the blastula, which increase the adhesion of the surface of the blastula and the uterine mucosa. After the blastula is attached, the villi gradually atrophy and remain only on the attachment side. At the site of attachment of the trophoblast and the uterine mucosa, the placenta is laid, which will nourish the baby until birth.
7-15 day During this period, the cells form two vesicles: an ectoblastic vesicle is formed from the outer cells, and an endoblastic vesicle is formed from the inner ones. The outer cells are tightly fused with the mucosa, and the umbilical cord is formed in initial stage, and nervous system. The second week is the first critical period, the success of which depends on the further development of the embryo. It is very important that the embryo is firmly attached to the uterine cavity and begins to fully divide - it is at this time that the pregnancy can fail if the embryo does not attach. In this case, menstruation will begin, and the woman will not know about a possible pregnancy.

In the first two weeks, the embryo increases in size and reaches one millimeter. It is still surrounded by a special protective film that provides power. The third week gives the fetus the opportunity to grow a little more, and after another two, the baby can be seen on an ultrasound ¬– ultrasound screening. Doctors will put obstetric term pregnancy - not when conception occurs after intercourse, but from the beginning of the last menstruation.

What are the feelings after ovulation, if conception has occurred?

In the first days, the hormonal background of the expectant mother undergoes colossal changes. Influenced chorionic gonadotropin corpus luteum hormone is released into the blood. It is progesterone from now on that is responsible for the life of the unborn baby. The task of this hormone is to prepare the mucosa and control the location and attachment of the fetus. In many cases, it plays a decisive role in spontaneous abortion- termination of pregnancy at this time.

All the same hormonal background will slow down menstruation, and cause classic manifestations of toxicosis: nausea and vomiting, weakness, drowsiness, loss of appetite. As a rule, the expectant mother already suspects pregnancy, and toxicosis only confirms her assumptions.

Under the influence of hormones, women experience external changes- it becomes more rounded, its forms are smoothed out, the oval of the face is slightly rounded. She still does not know what happens after conception by day with her body, but the first signs are already appearing. The chest does not become smaller, on the contrary, it is at first that a bursting feeling is felt in the chest, which indicates the preparation of the passages and alveoli of the mammary glands.

undergoing changes and reproductive system. The cervix closes tightly to protect new life, and metamorphoses also occur with the vagina and labia - they thicken, become softer. In this way, the body protects the baby from injury and prepares the birth canal.

Summing up, it can be noted, without even knowing how many days fertilization occurs after conception, vaginal discharge tell about the onset of pregnancy. It can also be stated with certainty that conception after ovulation occurs within 1–2 days, and after intercourse - within 5 days, since it is during this period of time that a viable sperm cell “living” in the uterus waits for ovulation to occur.

Thus, conception is affected by both the time of ovulation and the time of sexual intercourse. By following the nature of the discharge, it is possible to determine with a high probability whether the fetus has occurred or not.

Sensations in the first days after conception do not always appear. Often pregnant women do not understand what is happening to them, mistaking them for premenstrual symptoms.

The first signs of successful conception

In the body after conception, there is a suspension of menstrual flow. Indicates the onset of pregnancy, a feeling of discomfort, heaviness in the uterus.

This is due to increased blood flow to the reproductive organ and its readiness to accept the embryo.

In the first days after conception, the mammary glands swell. Due to hormonal changes, hypersensitivity appears, the breast increases, becomes toned and dense. There may be pain when touching or wearing underwear.

In the first days of fertilization, there is a change in the composition of the vaginal discharge. They become plentiful, acquire a pinkish tint. Similar symptoms appear on the 5th day after conception.

Sometimes there is a discharge with blood impurities, reminiscent of the beginning of the menstrual period.

This signals the attachment of the embryo to the uterine cavity. During the fixing process gestational sac part of the endometrium is slightly damaged and comes out with vaginal discharge. If they are not plentiful and after 1 - 2 days are over, then do not worry.

Feelings on the 5th day after conception are more like mild premenstrual pain.

Note!

If the discharge continues and is accompanied by painful sensations in the lower abdomen, lower back, then you should immediately contact a gynecologist. Symptoms may indicate detachment of the fetal egg due to rejection of the embryo by the uterus. This occurs at the physiological level, when the body perceives the embryo as a foreign body.

Already in the first days after conception, hormonal changes occur in the body. female body begins to actively produce - a hormone for maintenance, preservation of pregnancy. Observed abrupt change moods, special gastronomic preferences appear.

Progesterone is produced by the body to prevent uterine contractions. If this hormone is not enough, then there is a high probability of miscarriage.

On the 8-10th day, the basal body temperature rises in women. If it is more than 37 degrees, then this sure sign implantation period.

After ovulation, the basal temperature drops to 36.6 degrees. Until the next menstruation, in the absence of pregnancy, it is first up to 35.5 degrees.

On days 9-10, there is a slight raising of the abdomen due to changes in blood circulation in the pelvic organs, as a result of which blood stagnates in the venous system.

For 2 weeks, the woman feels weakness, fatigue, drowsiness.

In the first trimester, pressure may decrease, constipation may occur. Often women face frequent urination due to improved blood flow, which promotes rooted kidney function.

Other symptoms:

  1. The appearance of pigmentation.
  2. Runny nose.
  3. Increased salivation.
  4. Emotional instability.
  5. Tingling in the lower abdomen.
  6. Increased appetite.
  7. Heartburn.
  8. Aggressiveness.
  9. Absent-mindedness.
  10. Darkening of the areola.

Fetal development in the first month

Before active growth and the formation of the embryo in the uterine cavity, the embryo is in the fallopian tube for a week. After conception, the embryo begins to slowly move towards the reproductive organ for fixation.

This period in medicine is called implantation, that is, the period of time when, in fact, pregnancy has already occurred, but the embryo has not yet attached to the uterus.

The first month is important for the fetus. During this period, the fetal egg is attached to the endometrium and the laying of the main organs of the future crumbs.

A woman's feelings can change greatly due to changes in the hormonal background and stages of embryo development, so it is especially important for a woman to know what happens to the body after conception by day.

Knowing such information, it will be easier to interpret the causes of discomfort or minor pain.

There are no sensations on the first day after conception. Sometimes there is an increase in vaginal discharge.

On the first day of the fusion of the egg with the sperm, the division of the zygote (cell) begins, then the morula appears - a multicellular organism. This process called crushing.

On the 3rd day after conception, the morula is transformed into ( early stage embryonic development). The cell migrates through the fallopian tube, constantly dividing.

On the 4th day after conception, the blastocyst is transformed into a fetal egg. During the day, the embryo descends into the uterine cavity. On the 5th day after conception, the fetal egg attaches to the endometrium. The joining process takes 40 hours.

On the 7th - 10th day after conception, active production of progesterone occurs, which prevents the possibility of abortion. Then, within 2 days, the neural tube is formed.

Within 2 weeks, the embryo is completely immersed in the endometrium. From the moment of attachment, he ceases to use his own resources for life, and "feeds" through maternal blood.

At 15-16 days, the formation of the placenta begins, which will last the first trimester of pregnancy.

At week 3, the laying of the organs of the future crumbs takes place, the baby forms a chord - the future spine.

By the end of the first month, the embryo develops the rudiments of arms and legs, a heart, a respiratory system, and a liver.

False pregnancy symptoms

False pregnancy symptoms are more common in women who are unable to conceive.

Psychologists say that this problem lies in the psycho-emotional mood of the fair sex.

Signs false pregnancy serve:

  1. Fast fatiguability.
  2. Absence of menstrual flow.
  3. Mood swings.
  4. Flatulence.

recognize false symptoms easily. It is worth contacting a gynecologist, doing a pregnancy test or testing for hCG (chorionic gonadotropin).

If the level of this hormone is growing, then this means the presence of an interesting situation. In the first week hCG pregnancy fluctuates from 25 mU/ml to 156 mU/ml. In non-pregnant women, chorionic gonadotropin does not exceed 5 mU / ml.

Possible individual sensations

Every woman experiences pregnancy differently. For many, the next day after conception, no sensations appear, and some note that already on the first day the lower abdomen begins to hurt, mainly on one side.

A woman can partially feel the progress of the fetus along one of the fallopian tubes, so tingling mild pain or slight discomfort may occur in the left or right side of the hip area.

For 2-3 weeks, body temperature may rise and weakness may appear. Often, many women confuse these symptoms with the onset of development.

In the first trimester, many pregnant women experience toxicosis. It goes away after 3 months of pregnancy.

Also, women have increased libido- attraction to sexual life or vice versa, complete apathy and indifference to the opposite sex sets in.

Conclusion

The first sensations appear on the 5th - 6th day, when the ovum is attached. More pronounced symptoms appear after 10 days.

Many pregnant women become irritable, fastidious, they change taste preferences and there may be a metallic taste in the mouth.

Gynecologists recommend listening to your own body, but not jumping to conclusions. It is better to take tests for hCG or do a pregnancy test after a week of delay in menstrual flow due to a sharp increase in the level of chorionic gonadotropin, therefore, to diagnose interesting position it will be much easier.
