A member asked:

How long does it take for your body to realise that you are pregnant , ( not for symptoms to show but how soon do your hormones change and etc...)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Almost immediately: Hard to say exactly what you mean with this question. A woman's physiology starts changing almost immediately, but it is variable as to when a woman notices this. My wife knew she was pregnant almost immediately, or at least she thought she was.
