Early Pregnancy Factor (EPF)! You can have symptoms before implantation!

Katy
For all the ladies out there who think you're going crazy over feeling symptoms before implantation, you're not! I'm debunking the myth that early pregnancy cant be detected until your HCG is detected.  It's called the Early pregnancy Factor. It's a protein associated with mammalian embryos shortly after fertilization. It's an imuno-suppressant protein and has been detected in mammals right after conception. It functions to prevent the immune system from attacking the new embryo. Research carried out on human embryos showed positive results within 48 hours after conception. Some women just know right away when they are pregnant. A large percentage of women start to feel pregnancy symptoms very early on, even as early as a few days after conception.  People will tell you it's not possible since implantation hasnt occurred yet, but in the light of research done, it could indeed be possible! The imuno-suppressant functions of the EPF could cause pregnancy symptoms to occur especially if your body is more sensitive to this protein. I wanted to shine some light on this topic because I've seen a lot of women put down other women's symptoms because they haven't implanted yet or they aren't at DPO 14+ or more. Don't be ashamed of listening to your body!
