Amenorrhea- This is when you stop having your period. This occurs immediately after conception and will continue until you give birth. Breastfeeding will cause you to continue missing your period for a couple of months.
Morning Sickness- Morning sickness involves nausea and/or vomiting at any time during the day. You may have morning sickness as early as one week after conception and can last throughout the first trimester. A small handful of women have morning sickness in the third trimester. To feel better you can eat crackers or small meals.
Frequent Urination- Frequent urination is something that the majority of women will experience during the early stages of pregnancy. As your uterus grows, pressure will increase on your bladder, giving you the urge to urinate more frequently. Frequent urination can start the very first week after conception and can last until you give birth.

Breast Changes- You may begin to notice that your breasts are swollen and tender. You may also notice that your areola (area around the nipple) is darkening and you have blue and pink lines under the skin.

These symptoms can begin as early as a few days after conception and can last the duration of your pregnancy.
