Here are some comments from other contributors.

• A couple of symptoms you could possibly notice in early pregnancy are: missed menstrual period; nausea, with or without vomiting;fatigue; breast changes and breast tenderness; frequent urination. If you have missed your period, then I suggest you see your family physician. Symptoms are not really noticeable until around the 5th week of conception, but your first big hint would be of course a missed period.

• YES, your breasts do hurt and tingle a lot. I would wait until your period was due and if you don't get it go get a pregnancy test.

• About 3 or 4 days after (estimated) conception I experienced strong symptoms of nausea, tender and sensitive nipples. This occurred for about 2 to 4 days.

• I had cold-like symptoms.
  

• About a week before my period was due I noticed that the veins on my breasts were very prominent.

• Some women don't have any symptoms of pregnancy, and it is normal.

• My earliest symptoms is always excessive salivation, I have to swallow and swallow, this usually hits me about 3-4 days before my period is due. Everyone reacts differently to HCG (pregnancy hormone) and has different symptoms, some people don't even know they are pregnant until they feel something moving around at 20 weeks, others seem to know the exact moment of conception!

• Two weeks prior to my finding out I was pregnant I noticed that my breast seemed to be very swollen. They were also very tender and sore to the touch. My nipples were always hard and I seemed to be hungry after I had eaten a full course meal.
  

• You don't have to miss a period you can be pregnant and still have a period.

• Yes there are early signs of pregnancy. The following are early symptoms of pregnancy: Missed period. Abdominal cramping or PMS cramping. Sore, swollen or tender breasts. Nipple soreness or changes to your nipples. Veins appearing on your breasts. Increase in vaginal discharge. Spotting or light bleeding 6-14 days after having unprotected sex.

• Every woman is different, so there will be a huge variety of symptoms experienced during the first couple of weeks. For some women the symptoms mimic very closely the symptoms they would get right before their period (like tender breasts, mild cramping and irritability). For others the signs are so different they can't help but suspect they are pregnant! And the rest don't have any noticeable symptoms during the first view weeks.
