How to find out if I am pregnant?
- Absence of menstruation. Amenorrhea or absence of menstruation is the most important pregnancy
symptom. If the period is delayed, it is a clear sign of possible pregnancy. As you know, when the ovum that the woman expels is fertilized, it is implanted in the endometrium where the embryo will nest. If there is no fertilization, the endometrium breaks down producing bleeding (what we know as the period), but if it occurs, that is, if there is pregnancy, there will be no bleeding.There may be a slight bleeding that lasts only one or two days, darker and less abundant known as implantation bleeding. It can be confused with the period because it occurs between 6 and 10 days after fertilization to adhere the embryo in the wall of the uterus, but is lighter. - Sensitivity in the breasts. Another of the symptoms that make suspect a pregnancy is an extreme sensitivity in the breasts. Swelling, irritability and discomfort, even a slight pain when touching the nipples.At the slightest sign of pregnancy the breasts begin to prepare to feed the baby. The hormone progesterone affects the growth of the mammary glands and estrogen in the development of the milk ducts, causing the breast to increase blood flow, fat layer and increase the size of the milk glands.
