      Your breasts may become tender or swollen as early as two weeks after conception.

      You may begin to feel overly tired as early as one week after conception. Women are often very fatigued during their first trimester of pregnancy due to hormonal changes and changes in blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

      Regular bouts of morning sickness, or a sense of nausea, can begin as early as two weeks after conception. Morning sickness can occur at any time. Newly pregnant women also tend to have headaches and back pain.

      Craving unusual foods isn't just a pregnancy myth -- it does happen. The hormonal changes in the first trimester trigger a change in what you want to eat. You may crave things you never thought much about, or feel repulsed by something you know you like.
