Most of the time, a missed period is your first clue. But sometimes, if you are like me, you can have earlier symptoms. Fatigue, tender breats, small slightly painful 'twinges' in your lower abdomen, a metallic taste in your mouth (like you are chewing a penny), darkened aeriolas, increased appetite, nausea, headaches... to name a few. Unfortunately, your body and mind can also play tricks on you and if you think you are pregnant, you can make these things SEEM like they are happening when they really aren't. The best thing to do is just try not to think about it, wait until you are late and then take a test. I personally felt such extreme fatigue I could fall asleep during a conversation. This was 2 weeks before I ever tested positive. I also had the twinge pains within just a day or 2 of conception. If you are really in tune with your body you may be able to pick up even the tiniest changes.
Good luck!
