Progesterone the pregnancy hormone and PMS like cramps  at the start of pregnancy

Progesterone is one of the main hormones that prepares the uterus for implantation.

In case pregnancy does not occur   Progesterone levels will fall and menstruation will start.

If pregnancy occurs , the levels of progesterone will rise leading to symptoms similar to that in the second half of the menstrual cycle  before onset of period bleeding 

Tenderness of breasts, lower stomach cramps,headache, light bleeding / spotting, fatigue, tiredness , constipation, nausea may occur in early pregnancy especially in the first week after the expected day of menstruation / onset of periods in the case of women with regular cycles.

In the first couple of weeks after conception, pregnant women will feel that their breasts are tender, sore, fuller and heavier with a slight nagging pain.

There might be slight bleeding or spotting in the vagina called implantation bleeding around one or two weeks after conception usually around the time you would expect your usual periods to start. This might be caused by the embryo attaching to the mothers uterus.
