Immediately after conception, a woman might not feel any different. However, some early symptoms can appear within a few days to a week, such as mild cramping, light spotting (implantation bleeding), and breast tenderness. These symptoms are often subtle and not experienced by everyone. Recognizing pregnancy typically requires a missed period and a positive pregnancy test. If you suspect pregnancy, consulting a healthcare provider for confirmation and guidance is advisable.
