Pregnancy Symptoms — Early Signs of Pregnancy \nPregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.\n\nImplantation Bleeding:\nImplantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping. \n\nOther Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.\n\nDelay/Difference in Menstruation:\nA delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test:\nOther Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.\n\nSwollen/Tender Breasts:\nSwollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen. \n\nOther Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.\n\nFatigue/Tiredness:\nFeeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception. \n\nOther Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.\n\nNausea/Morning Sickness:\nThis well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy. \n\nOther Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.\n\nBackaches:\nLower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy. \n\nOther Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.\n\nHeadaches:\nThe sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy. \n\nOther Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.\n\nFrequent Urination:\nAround 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom. \n\nOther Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.\n\nDarkening of Areolas:\nIf you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker. \n\nOther Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.\n\nFood Cravings:\nWhile you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

That happens at times when you become pregnant. It could be preparing you for breastfeeding. Just ask your doctor and he will know exactly why.

Usually, your breasts feel hard. You becomea little bit moody. You might also experience stomach cramps. Pimples also begin to show. Having a menstruation is a bit uneasy. Anyway, just wear a suitable sanitary napkin. It's part of being a lady~! ^^

There are many different factors that could contribute to this....are you menstrating right now, or will you be within the next week or so? Many women experience breast tenderness right before or during their period. Also, have you examined it for any lumps or bumps? Most lumps are actually painless, but it doesn't hurt to check. Also, the lymph tissue in your breast could be irritated, like mine was this past week, causing breast tenderness. If you do not think this is caused by your menses, then perhaps you should make an appointment with your doctor :)

please make an appointment to see your gynecologist. You are old enough now that you should be seeing one.\n\nI am not sure if you have cancer, but breasts feel VERY sore and sort of bumpy when they are developing. And darling, you are very young, and this could just be the pains and uneven-ness of your breasts growing.\n\nhowever, going to see your gynecologist is the first step in learning more about breast cancer. She can help you determine if your lump is just growing pains, or something to deal with, like cancer, a cyst or anything else. She can also show you how to do a self breast exam so you can look for lumps yourself and she can talk to you about how to identify them as lumps or normal tissue. PLEASE make an appointment and go see your gynecologist.

Kidney stones cause extremely bad pain- they say it's the closest pain to being pregnant. You'd get lower backaches too.\nStomach pains caused by depression make you feel like throwing up.\nConstipation... you fart a lot and it feels like a gas in your lower abdomen.

This is totally normal if it is before your period (a lot of women have PMS swelling), or if your breasts are currently growing.  Sore breasts may also be a sign of pregnancy, so keep that in mind if it's a possibility.  Breast cancer, in the early statges, does not hurt at all.  The early sign of breast cancer is finding a lump (which would be HIGHLY unusual at your age).

Yes the pill can do this, and so can any hormone based contraceptive, I wouldn't worry too much, I recently had a Marina coil fitter and my breasts went mad, felt like I was getting reading to breastfeed, but it passed and everything is fine now, different times of the month most women's breasts get tender, I wouldn't worry too much, but just go mention it to your doctor I am sure he will tell you exactly what I have, providing you have no lumps or localized pain or are not having a discharge from your breast then you should be fine, if you have any of the things I have just mentioned then its best to get checked out.

Well, there is little I can do without being able to examine your girlfriend in person.  Breast development in a "normal" female is usually around age 11...so that means she was either quite a bit early or may have undergone precocious puberty.  Her breasts (depending on age) should have stopped growing at some point.  If they began to grow suddenly she might be pregnant.  As far as her areolar pain you will have to wait for the doctor to exam her.  Usually breast tenderness is a common side effect of a woman's cycle or again it could be puberty (depending on age).  If she has been giving herself regular breast self exams and recieved regular mammograms she should have nothing to worry about.  Of course with pain in the breast we might think cancer, but has she had any discharge (bloody,milky)?  Is the areola tender or does she feel a lump?  Is the nipple inverted (pushed in)?  All these questions will be asked by her doctor at the upcoming exam, but don't worry.  Most times in a young female we don't think cancer...usually we are thinking cyst which can be easily drained.

I would tell the Dr. about your sharp pains, but it could be caused by the stretching of your uterus to make room for your growing  baby. I remember feeling this way as the baby grew inside me. The feeling was kind of like a side stitch or pulling sensation. I hope this helps, but still ask your Dr. God Bless you and your baby!

Don't pay any attention to those rude comments these people leave on here. I thought yahoo question was a place where you could go to ask questions no matter what it is. Dam people chill out..\n\nIt could be possible that you are pregnant,having sore breast is one of the first symptoms. Take a home test now and than one if you miss your period. Good luck

will did you miss your period and are you $exually active.  get an over the counter pregnancy test.  sore breast if you normally do not have them is a sign of pregnancy along with missing your period.

Are you still having periods? Do you feel sick during the day, are your breasts tender? Pregnancy does increase the bloodflow in theses areas but you need to get it checked out properly, take a test at home or see your doctor as soon as possible
