How can you be sure you are pregnant? If you are unusually tuned in to your body, you
might begin to suspect you are pregnant as soon as the first few days after conception
or even earlier. When Jillian nd her husband, John, were planning to conceive their
second child, she kept track of her temperature every morning. Based on the figures on
her chart, averaged over a period of several months, she chose a day that seemed right
for making the big attempt, and she and her husband made love on that day. "A few hours
later," Jillian told me, "I felt twinges in my left side." She knew this meant she was
ovulating. She turned to John and said, "Let's start thinking of boys' names. I believe
we have just made a baby."
Jillian became aware of tenderness and fullness in her breasts, and when her period did
not arrive within two weeks, she came to see me. The doctor was able to confirm her
pregnancy by means of an internal examination and a pregnancy test. Their son was born
less than nine months later.
While few women can pinpoint their children's conception with Jillian's accuracy, many
notice signs of pregnancy within days of their expected period. If you have been trying
to conceive a child, you are more likely to interpret these signs correctly. Otherwise,
it is easy to confuse the tender breasts, tiredness, and moody feelings with
premenstrual tension. In fact, it is not unusual for your fatigue and feelings of
malaise to be so strong that you think you are ill.
