Honestly, anything can be seen as a āsign of pregnancyā, so missed period would probably be the most accurate (unless you are irregular). Best to just test after missed period.

When I was pregnant with my 2nd child, before I confirmed with a test, I was extremely exhausted and kept snoozing my alarm clock after getting 8+ hours of sleep
I had ONE day of complete exhaustion and i didnāt even register it as a possible pregnancy symptom until later. All other symptoms such as sore breasts, a little nausea, and consistent fatigue didnāt kick in until around 12 weeks for me.

I had a strange stabbing pain in my Versace so tested and was positive, 2nd I didnt have my period, 3rd really painful underarms, 4th weight gain, 5th pure starvation 
and 6th hot flushes and dizziness xx
Nausea, Iāve always had irregular periods so thought nothing of when/if I missed one. But when I took a drink of coffee and got nauseousā¦ I knew immediately. Nausea lasted the entire pregnancy, thank God my OB prescribed ondansetron for it, because I couldnāt even get a smell of some foods without running for the bathroom

For me it was sore boobs, nausea, and then a missed period. Then the heartburn started at 5 weeks and lasted until I had my son. The heartburn was horrible and so was the nausea for about a month. Everything I ate made me feel like I was going to throw up until I was about 10 weeks
Weirdly enough about a week after (conception) a section of bangs in the front scrunched up and was completely unruly I couldnāt straighten it or brush it then I found out I was pregnant 4 weeks later and it didnt go away until about 1 year after he was born
Sore boobs, fatigue, feeling a heartbeat in your body parts like hands, stomach, etc. (Because of increased blood flow) nausea, headache, bloating

Constant stomach aches or nausea for me.
I was easily irritated, absolutely exhausted, and my breasts were sooo sore. My grandma also said I looked āpeekedā and asked if I was pregnant because of that. She basically thought I looked like I lost weight (I did) and a little sick. She was right!

Literally the day after my second child was conceived I had a headache, nausea, and zero energy.
I would throw up brushing my teeth. I did this with all three of my boys very earlier on.
I slept ALOT. Missed period had shooting pains in my side (i thought it was just kidney stones because i use to get them alot) peeing every 3 mins. Getting hot when it wasnāt even close to being hot. Irritated easily. Cravings i never would of thought to even want. The list goes on
Increased senses, especially smell. And nausea!
Not enjoying your favorite foods and drinks.
When coffee didnāt taste good anymore I knew something was up.
Severe back pain and tender breasts
I had spells of nausia and became light headed at times.

My sense of smell got totally enhanced and bad smells made me nauseous.
Breast tenderness, fatigue and nausea were big signs for me but it varies with each person/pregnancy.
