How soon can signs of pregnancy show/take place?

Some people claim they can tell at 2 weeks (not VERY common)... but I think the average is around 6 weeks you'll know for sure. What's going on?

I was around 5 weeks and 4 days when I found out. By that time my symptoms where very slight. I had tender breasts, and felt tired, and irritated.
By 7 weeks I started to get morning sickness and headaches. By 15 weeks I started bloating and my uterus was starting to raise above my pelvic bone.

Got a little frisky with Bear and one thing lead to another and I MAY possibly be pregnant. "It" happened about 2 or 3 nights ago and my breasts hurt but my breasts usually hurt long before my period starts and its almost around the corner. I was simply curious cause if I am possibly pregnant I don't want to be handling our ball python because Ive been told that female pythons have a tendency to bite pregnant women due to human female pregnancy hormones and python hormones being the same (although I think that only applies to adult python females). xD

I don't think your tender breasts would be due to pregnancy quite yet. If you miss your period, I would take a pregnancy test, you can find some that detect pretty early, but you probably wouldn't get tender boobs until at least 1 to 2 weeks after conception and 3-4 days would be pretty early.

At 2-3 days post-deed, your potential little embryo would barely have implanted into the endometrium yet. It's not until implantation that hormones even begin to build up. Though if you miss your period, you should definitely test, your sore breasts are not a symptom ... yet
Personally, I did not realize I was pregnant until 5-6 weeks (which is 3-4 weeks later than you would be now - pregnancy is counted from LMP, not usually date of conception.)

My period is going to come visit within a few days and I've read where some women actually have a period even though they're pregnant. Should I take a test after my period (if I have one) just to make sure? Me and Bear have quite a bit of things going on (changing cars, this possible pregnancy thing, me getting my license and a whole list of things, lol) so I'm trying to make sure I don't just set the pregnancy thing on the back burner and then forget to prep for it. I'm an over-thinker/over-doer.
