Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

The timing of egg release is usually on 14thy day from the start of menstrual cycle in regular cycles.

Since your last periods started on july 6th, the probable ovulation date is on 19th and you would have conceived on that day.

Some women experience signs or symptoms of pregnancy with in a week of conception.

For other women the symptoms would develop over few weeks.

I suggest you to go for a urine pregnancy test initially after the missed periods and consult an obstetrician.

Hope I have answered your query. In case of any doubts, I am available for the follow ups.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.

What other signs should I look out for except for missed period. Should I be secreting mucus and what should it look like?

Vaginal discharge is occasionally the first sign and symptom noticed by many women.

Usually an increased vaginal discharge is noticed.

It is odourless and referred as white flow or leucorrhea.

It is generally milky white in color.

Other symptoms include, nausea with or without vomiting.

Fatigue, breast tenderness, frequent urination, abdominal cramping, nipple soreness, veins appearing on the breast, spotting or light bleeding about one week after unprotected sex.
