How to tell if you are pregnant

In order to tell that you are pregnant, learn about your period cycle to confirm your pregnancy. Period cycle length varies from person to person and it is different for every person.

These hormones prepare human body to produce reproductive system in the ovaries. The egg is stored in the ovaries and it starts to fertilize and if you had intercourse between 12 to 15 days after the first end part of the cycle, you can find several symptoms which are possible signs of pregnancy when the egg starts to fertilize.

• No Periods (menstruation): There will be no periods during pregnancy as the fertilization of the egg (fetus) started, which indicates that there is no release of the hormones.
• Breast Enlargement: The size of your breast will grow due to increase in sexual desire and changes in sexual hormonal of the body .
• Vomiting (nausea): Nausea is nothing but morning sickness, which makes the body uncomfortable during pregnancy. Due to non stability in the body conditions, vomiting occurs frequently. This is the most common symptom for the woman during the first part of the fertilization period.
• Tiredness (fatigue): During pregnancy, you will feel tired because of severe hormonal changes in the body. This is the main cause of fatigue and moreover, you have to carry some additional weight due to growing fetus.
