After having sex, what you are definitely waiting for is good news that you have managed to get pregnant. However, you may need several days to several weeks until the symptoms of pregnancy occur in you. Or, there may be no changes that occur after you have sex.
When can the symptoms of pregnancy occur after having sex?
Symptoms of pregnancy can occur immediately or take several days, this depends on each individual. Yes, each individual may experience this at different times. Even the symptoms of pregnancy that occur can vary between women and between pregnancies. Not infrequently, some women also do not feel any symptoms, so he did not realize that he was pregnant.
Some common symptoms of pregnancy that occur after intercourse are morning sickness, fatigue, mood swings, vomiting, nausea, breasts feel full and more sensitive, and of course late menstruation. These pregnancy symptoms can occur in women during the first five or six weeks of pregnancy. About two weeks since you are late for menstruation or six weeks after you have had your last menstrual period.
Not necessarily this is a symptom of pregnancy
Even though you have experienced nausea, vomiting, dizziness, stomach cramps, or other pregnancy-like symptoms that occur after you have sex. But, this does not always mean you are really pregnant. This can happen due to something other than pregnancy.
To find out that you really are pregnant or not, the best way is to do a pregnancy test. Even so, you have to wait for some time until you miss your next menstrual period to get the most accurate results. You can do this pregnancy test yourself at home with test pack or check with your doctor.
What are the symptoms that can occur early in pregnancy?
The following are some of the symptoms of pregnancy in the early days of pregnancy which can be a sign that you are pregnant.
1. Blood spots or stomach cramps
A few days after you have sex, you may find blood spots on your pants or experience abdominal cramps as an early symptom of pregnancy. These blood spots or stomach cramps can occur because the fertilized egg sperm attaches to your uterine wall, also called implantation bleeding. This can occur six to twelve days after the egg is fertilized. In addition to blood spots or abdominal cramps, excessive amounts of vaginal discharge can also occur. This is because there is thickening of the vaginal wall.
2. Late menstruation
This is the most obvious symptom of pregnancy and you can easily guess as a sign of pregnancy. However, not all missed periods are symptoms of pregnancy. In fact, you can still experience menstruation during pregnancy. So, actually this is not the right benchmark to determine whether you are pregnant or not. To make sure, you should do a pregnancy test after you get late menstruation.
3. Changes to the breast
When you are pregnant, even when the egg is fertilized by sperm, the hormones in your body can immediately change. This also causes changes in your breasts. Your breasts can become more sensitive, feel painful, feel full, and bigger in one week or two weeks after conception.
4. Fatigue
A natural thing happens if you feel tired when you are pregnant. In the early weeks of pregnancy, even one week after conception, pregnant women can experience fatigue. This can happen because there is an increase in the hormone progesterone in the body of pregnant women. In addition, decreased blood sugar levels, decreased blood pressure, and more than normal blood production can also cause fatigue.
5. Morning sickness
Nausea and vomiting that usually occurs in the morning, afternoon, or evening can be a sign of pregnancy. Although, not all pregnant women must experience this. Morning sickness can occur due to the influence of hormones that make emptying the stomach slower.
