The pregnancy symptoms experienced from one woman to another are different, but the general signs that professionals tell you to look for are: Fatigue (a common symptom lasting between 8 and 12 weeks); Nausea / Vomiting (from quite early on, maybe as early as a week after conception ? as in your case); Urinating frequently & Missed Period (especially if you tend to be regular).
There are other signs as well, but if your period is a day late or more, then maybe you should consider taking a home pregnancy test. A urine sample can show accurate results as early as 10 to 14 days after fertilisation. However, the results are not 100% accurate, so if you still have symptoms, then it may be better to retake a test a week later. Blood tests can also be carried out to determine whether you are pregnant, and tend to be the more accurate of the two methods.
Oh, and remember ? if your pregnancy test is positive, you should ensure that you consult your local G
