You know you are pregnant when the early symptoms of pregnancy after ovulation begin to manifest themselves in your body. Ovulation is the release of a single, mature egg from the ovarian follicle, which, after being released, the egg is capable of being fertilized for 12 to 24 hours before it begins to disintegrate. If the released ovum or egg is fertilized and successfully implants, it results in pregnancy.

Cervix's Position Changes

One early symptom of pregnancy after ovulation is the position of the cervix. Many women track their cervical position in order to determine fertility, to wonder if there is at all any correlation between the position of the cervix and early pregnancy.

Unfortunately, there is no simple answer for all women regarding the position of the cervix. The position of the cervix during pregnancy does change but not at the same time in all women.

After ovulation, your cervix drops lower in your vagina and feels firm, it feels like the tip of your nose. When you are pregnant, the cervix will rise a bit and become softer, but the timing of this happening will vary from woman to woman. For some, this will happen shortly before their period is due, but for others, this will not happen until quite a while after their pregnancy has been confirmed.

Given how difficult it is to determine when this could happen, checking the position of your cervix to determine pregnancy is not a reliable indication of whether or not your are pregnant. More reliable ways to find out if you are pregnant is to take a sensitive home pregnancy test or by visiting your doctor for a pregnancy blood test.

Implantation Spotting

Another early symptom of pregnancy after ovulation is you bleeding due to implantation spotting. Occurring if pregnancy has been achieved, this happens about 4 to 12 days after ovulation and is the result of the egg implanting into the uterine lining which may cause a little external bleeding. This does not necessarily happen with every pregnancy.

Fatigue

When you are pregnant, you will notice fatigue to be one of the first symptoms. It´s the kind of extreme fatigue resulting from not wanting to do anything except lie down, and is characterized by lethargy and dizziness in the event of too much exertion on the body.

Food Cravings/Aversions

Linked to the early pregnancy hormones that surge through the body are associated food cravings/aversions that you experience. An early symptom of pregnancy after ovulation, food cravings or aversion may mean a sudden want of a certain food - or wanting to throw up at the smell of another.

High Basal Body Temperature

There is another symptom of early symptom of pregnancy after ovulation and you can trace this if you are charting your basal body temperature. You will notice a sustained thermal shift or even a triphasic level of temperature when implantation takes place. Often a woman charting will know she´s pregnant well before she can see a positive home pregnancy test. Accompanied with soreness in the breasts, and cramps, headache, moodiness and bloating, you have just completed the cycle of getting your pregnancy recorded through early symptom of pregnancy after ovulation.
