A woman may suspect that she is pregnant if she misses a menstrual cycle. This is often the first indication of pregnancy. A simple urine test during a visit to the doctor is enough to confirm a pregnancy. Other symptoms of pregnancy include:
Morning sickness. This may actually occur at any time of day; it usually begins two to eight weeks after conception.
Frequent urination. This occurs approximately six to eight weeks after conception.
Tender, swollen breasts. This may occur a few days after conception.
Darkening of areola. This usually occurs in the first trimester.
Food cravings. Usually occur in the first trimester.
