1. Feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. Some people begin to suffer from morning sickness in the first few weeks after pregnancy. You may feel nauseous or vomiting, and although morning sickness is also called "morning sickness," nausea and vomiting are not limited to the morning. You may feel nauseous all day and all night long.

2. The breasts become softer. If your breasts feel tender, soft, and swollen, you may be pregnant. This type of symptom may appear in the first few days after pregnancy. After your body absorbs a large amount of testosterone, this pain will disappear and your breasts will no longer feel uncomfortable.

3. Feeling tired. A lot of metabolism of luteinizing hormone (a male hormone) can make you feel exhausted. Almost all pregnant women suffer from this symptom, and you can observe other symptoms to confirm your suspicions.

4. Going to the toilet frequently. After the sperm and egg combine and implant in the endometrium, they begin to secrete human gonadotropin (hCG). This will stimulate you to urinate more often, so you may pee more often than before.

5. Bleeding or muscle spasm. Eight days after ovulation and implantation, you may develop light pink or dark brown stains, and cramps may accompany these conditions. In fact, during the menstrual period, there may be some spotting and bleeding, but this is not a true menstrual period. It is the result of the fusion of sperm and egg and the implantation of the embryo in the uterine wall.

Will I have my period if I have an ectopic pregnancy? The early symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy are very similar to those of a normal pregnancy, usually with symptoms such as amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding. The biggest characteristic of ectopic pregnancy is that the sperm and egg combine and the embryo implants outside the uterus, the most common being in the bilateral fallopian tubes. Amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding are the three most typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, but not all patients with ectopic pregnancy will experience the above three symptoms. Some patients appear to have their menarche, but in fact the last vaginal bleeding is not a real menstrual period. It is just abnormal vaginal bleeding, which is mistaken for a menstrual period simply because it coincides with the time of their menarche.

Compared with normal menstrual period, vaginal bleeding from ectopic pregnancy is different in the time, amount and duration of occurrence, and it can be detected by paying more attention. It is not reliable to judge whether it is an ectopic pregnancy based on whether or not there is menarche. Therefore, to judge ectopic pregnancy, the pregnancy symptoms, examinations, and test results must be considered together. The most reliable thing is to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination.
