What are some signs of implantation other than bleeding?

1. Sore Breasts

Progesterone levels start rising after implantation, which can lead to tenderness, swelling, and heaviness in the breasts. This can happen as early as 1-2 weeks after conception.

2. Fatigue

Implantation can cause a dramatic increase in progesterone levels, which can lead to feelings of exhaustion. Many women report feeling extremely fatigued in the first few weeks of their pregnancies, often in the morning.

3. Nausea

Nausea or vomiting (also referred to as morning sickness) is a common sign of early pregnancy, which can start as early as 1-2 weeks after conception.

4. Headaches

Headaches can be caused by the surge of hormones that occurs after implantation.

5. Mood Swings

Hormonal changes during early pregnancy can lead to mood swings, including feelings of irritability, tearfulness, and/or anxiety.

6. Food cravings

Changes in taste and smell can occur early on in pregnancy, which can give rise to cravings for certain foods or aversions to previously loved foods.

7. Heightened Sense of Smell

Some women find their sense of smell becomes more acute during pregnancy.

8. Bloating

Progesterone levels can lead to bloating, gas, and constipation, which can sometimes be early symptoms of pregnancy.
