Patient discussion about early pregnancy.

Q. What are pregnancy symptoms during the first week? My wife and I started trying to get pregnant 5 days ago. According to ovulation web sites we stated on the best day possible. Yesterday she complained about achy legs and feeling "weird." Also mild cramps. Are there symptoms for pregnancy that occur so quickly?

A. They can come after a week of conception but more likely 2-3 weeks. Here are all the symptoms in one page:

Q. Is cramping normal in early pregnancy? Hello everyone. I have decided to go for pregnancy and have started trying with my husband. I am currently 6 days late and it is quite unusual for me. I am not willing to take any test right now as I did already earlier and it showed me negative. Well my breasts are swollen and sore for about 5 days and all week I have experienced minor cramping. In general I do not cramp until I get to my periods. I would like to know that whether cramping is an indication of pregnancy or to put it straight .Is cramping normal in early pregnancy?

A. congratulations! it sounds like pregnancy. my wife showed the exact same symptoms when she got pregnant (swollen breasts, cramps..), but it might be a good idea to do a home pregnancy test just to make sure.
any way, i have to say Justin is a great name for a boy :)
