If contact is made with a partner, within 7-10 days after ovulation, a fertilized egg is implanted into the uterus. This means that on the 23rd day of the cycle, signs of primary pregnancy can be felt by a woman.

Symptoms of conception before delay

Frequent urination.

The slightly enlarged uterus begins to put pressure on the bladder, and the urge to go to the toilet comes faster than usual. In addition, hormonal changes provoke the body to work in an enhanced mode. If urination is accompanied by pain, then this is a symptom of cystitis, so it is important to see a doctor for timely treatment.

Hypersensitive sense of smell.

Girls note that a clear sign of pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle, when you do not suspect an interesting situation, is intolerance to aromas. Some run out of offices when a perfume plume flew from a colleague, and someone cannot walk through the market where they sell fishand meat. Almost everything is disgusting - the smell of shoe cream, sweat, even the usual dishwashing detergent and soap.

Emotional swings.

Tears, apathy, affection, irritability and other feelings can change within an hour. Although many girls feel nervous and irascible before menstruation, experienced mothers say that during pregnancy, mood swings are completely different and much brighter.

Breast sensitivity.

The breasts increase in size, become heavy, and touching the nipples becomes quite painful. The venous network appears more than usual. Nipple halos may darken slightly, becoming dark brown later.

Increased gas formation.

Progesterone, produced during pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle, slows down digestion, and therefore the intestines swell. As a result, girls cannot fasten their favorite jeans around the waist, although they were just right a couple of days ago.

Enlargement of the uterus.

The belly becomes larger in size, as blood flow in the reproductive organs increases.

Drawing pains in the lower abdomen.

Feels like PMS discomfort.

Nausea.

Slight aversion to food indicates the beginning of early toxicosis, which will continue until the end of the first trimester. This sign appears on the 5-7th day after conception.

Subfebrile temperaturebody.

Expectant mothers have noticed that even before the delay, the thermometer shows 36, 9-37, 1 even without signs of a cold. This is considered a natural physiological response to the production of progesterone. If menstruation has come, then such a temperature is a symptom of a sluggish inflammatory process.

Change in taste preferences.

As they say, it begins to "pull on s alty and spicy." This is the result of all the same hormonal changes.

Headaches.

If you were planning a pregnancy and are expecting an expected conception, you should not take painkillers, it is better to drink two Magnesium B6 tablets or, in extreme cases, Paracetamol.

Discomfort in the lower back.

Hormonal changes and increased blood supply in the pelvic organs cause a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and in the lumbar region. There is a transformation of the architecture of the body, stretching of the ligaments for the successful bearing of the baby.

Change in appetite.

Expressed in two extremes - "wolf hunger" with uncontrolled eating of everything in the refrigerator, or indifference to food.

Cold.

The natural reaction of the body is a decrease in immunity as a sign of pregnancy, on the 23rd day of the cycle or earlier, the girl may feel a runny nose, sore throat, general malaise. At this time, the body is especially susceptible to viruses and various infections. If you suspect conception, you should not take cold medicines.

Increasebasal temperature.

The temperature is measured immediately after waking up. Without getting out of bed, the thermometer is inserted into the rectum. Must be measured daily after ovulation. If 37, 0-37, 2 lasts until the end of the cycle, then the pregnancy has definitely come.

Minor spotting.

This is a sign of implantation of the fetal egg, which, like a drill, penetrates into the uterine cavity, and blood vessels are destroyed.

Dizziness and fainting.

Expectant mothers often pass out in transport and in stuffy rooms. Low blood glucose levels and early hypoxia can cause short syncope.

Drowsiness and fatigue.

You no longer recognize yourself? Previously, they performed all the tasks according to the list, but now they only have enough strength for two or three points. Fatigue, daytime sleepiness and unwillingness to get up in the morning are a clear sign that the pregnancy has come.

Lack of breath.

Rebuilding, the body supplies most of the oxygen to the embryo, which can cause other organs to suffer. Therefore, when climbing stairs or walking at an accelerated pace, breathing can go astray and tired.

Restless dreams.

Hormonal explosion leads not only to physiological, but to psycho-emotional changes, which makes it difficult to sleep. The body seems to be signaling the birth of life. It is acceptable to drink tea with lemon balm or valerian tablets at night, but no aggressive sleeping pills.

What should alert?

If the pregnancy is planned and the woman suspects her interesting position, then the following symptoms should alarm:

• Influenza, the presence of a diagnosis of "tonsillitis", viral diseases. As a rule, this can cause abnormal development of the fetus or its fading.
• Cystitis. Infection in the genitourinary organs is undesirable.
• Clotted blood or copious scarlet discharge. This may indicate a spontaneous miscarriage, when the uterus is cleared of an unattached egg.
• Cramping pains in the lower abdomen, discomfort in the lower back. This indicates hypertonicity, which is removed by No-shpoy, magnesia or Papaverine.

Any warning signs and the fact that a pregnancy was planned should be reported to the therapist. If treatment with antibacterial drugs is necessary, the doctor selects medications that are allowed in the early stages. Self-medication is excluded.

Abnormal discharge

A daub of green, yellow, brown color with an unpleasant odor or a curdled consistency is unacceptable.

What happens if conception occurs? On the 23rd day of the cycle, the discharge should be transparent, perhaps a little plentiful, normally a small amount of mucus. This happens under the influence of progesterone, so the body protects the cervix from getting any infection.

If there is a history of ectopic pregnancy

If a woman has had cases of egg attachment in the tubes before, she needs to take extra care. Such a pregnancyaccounts for only 2% of all conceptions and poses a serious danger to a woman's life.

Suspicions should cause pain and spotting on the 23rd day of the cycle, signs of early pregnancy should also be present - nausea, drowsiness, etc.

It can be determined by transvaginal ultrasound, when the fetal egg is not detected in the uterus in the presence of a high level of hCG.

Lifestyle when planning a pregnancy

With a 28-day cycle, the signs of pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle become more noticeable. They are especially obvious to those who have already given birth or those who are looking forward to conception and carefully listen to their body. Recommended for early pregnancy women:

• avoid physical activity;
• do not lift heavy;
• refuse medication if possible;
• don't visit crowded places and don't overcool, so as not to catch a viral infection or a cold;
• go to bed before 11 pm, as it is important both for rest and for the production of progesterone;
• walk outdoors;
• forget about the gym, as strength training can cause a miscarriage;
• avoid stressful situations.

Nutritional advice before conception and the first weeks after conception

For the correct laying of the organs of the embryo, the expectant mother needs:

• Eat more protein and plant foods.
• No alcohol.
• Take folic acid supplements. For example, "Femibion Natalker I", recommended in the first trimester.
• Drink Magnesium B6. To relieve the tone of the uterus.

Retraining for pregnancy

A reasonable approach to conception increases the chances of a successful course of the entire period of gestation. At the planning stage, it is important:

• get tested for TORCH infection, hepatitis;
• take a smear from the vagina for microflora, pass the "Florocenosis" test, a cytomorphological study from the surface of the cervix and cervical canal;
• take folate;
• eliminate bad habits - smoking and alcohol;
• ensure good nutrition.

Influenza Shot

This infectious disease is accompanied by severe complications - pneumonia, tonsillitis or sinusitis. Therefore, it is important to protect yourself from the flu, which in most cases leads to pregnancy failure or severe pathologies in the fetus.

Gynecologists at the planning stage of conception recommend getting vaccinated. A popular drug from a French manufacturer is Vaxigripp, which is allowed even for expectant mothers, young children and has virtually no contraindications. Vaccination, as a rule, takes place in the autumn period - October-December, before the outbreak of influenza, so that the immune system has time to develop antibodies to the virus in a month.

It is important to remember that prevention is better than cure. What if conception happened? On the 23rd day of the cycle, the internal organs of the embryo are laid, and various infections are simply dangerous for the unborn child.

Precautions for recurrent miscarriage

If earlier a woman had a history of miscarriages and spontaneous abortions, then it is necessary to carefully listen to the signs of pregnancy during the 28-day cycle. Day 23 of the cycle is not yet a reason to buy a test, but with a slight delay, you should immediately do an analysis.

If the result is positive, you need to contact a gynecologist who will recommend donating blood for progesterone and hCG. At low rates, the doctor recommends luteal support - Duphaston, Utrozhestan, etc. Self-prescribing hormone-containing drugs is prohibited.

Diagnosis of pregnancy before delay

Signs of pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle with a 30-day menstrual period can be pronounced, and the woman simply can not wait to find out if conception has occurred. There are detection methods for this.

Highly sensitive test. Sold in a pharmacy. For the accuracy of the result, it is desirable to use morning urine.

Blood test for:

• progesterone (the norm for the first trimester is 4.73-50.74 ng/ml);
• HCG (beta-CHL or chorionic gonadotropin) - for women who are not carrying a child, the norm is 0-5 mU / ml, at the 3-4th week of pregnancy - 100-10000 mU / ml and the indicator grows every week (if after a couple of days this parameter has dropped sharply, this indicates a missed pregnancy).

Ultrasound

Done transvaginally on an empty bladderbubble. With a 30-day cycle, signs of pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle may not yet manifest themselves, but an ultrasound will show a fetal egg and confirm its uterine / ectopic location.

Late ovulation

Usually, the egg is released 14 days before the menstrual cycle. The late process occurs in women with a long cycle, more than 32 days, and is not a sign of infertility. When ovulation occurred on the 23rd day of the cycle, is pregnancy possible? The process of conception and the course of pregnancy do not depend on the time of maturation of the egg. Late ovulation is more likely to have a boy.

Signs of pregnancy on the 23rd day of the cycle with a 28-day menstrual period or more can clearly indicate the onset of conception. But these will only be guesses and assumptions, because a test for hCG and ultrasound will give a 100% result.
