Are Lower Abdominal Discomforts Early Signs Of Conception?

I recently engaged in intercourse over the days I was ovulating, which was about a week ago. I am now experiencing a heavy sensation in my lower abdomen where i would usually experience any menstrual discomfort, accompanied by excessive saliva production and faint nausea - although I have not actually physically vomited. Is there a possibility that these are signs of early conception? I just wouldn't have expected them so soon after? If they are that is great, but concerned that the discomfort in my abdomen is unfamiliar. I have 2 children already but both pregnancies were so different I don't presume that another pregnancy would be in any way similar to either before.

Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not panic.

2 ) As you have mentioned that you had unprotected sex act in the fertile period of cycle, then you stand chance to get pregnant.

3 ) But it will be too early to expect pregnancy and symptoms of pregnancy.

I will suggest you to wait till your expected date of the cycle. If you happen to cross your dates, then please get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy.
In case of doubt blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help.

4 ) If you are trying for pregnancy, please start taking Folic acid, Vitamin B 12 and Omega 3 supplements on daily basis at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant. This helps to prevent various complications during the pregnancy and baby's growth and delivery.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
