Does the body know and react almost instantly? For example, if intercourse happens on a tuesday, can a woman experience signs of pregnancy as early as just a few days later? Or does it take a few weeks for the body to react.

It usually takes a few days for the egg to even become fertilized. Most women don't know for a few weeks

no, you will have symptoms within 2-4 weeks, usually closer to 4 weeks.

You won't know right away. It can take up to five days for the egg to fertilise and implant. Only then, when your body starts producing pregnancy hormones, will your body react. I'd say at least 10 days after conception... but as in all cases there are exceptions to the rule.

I am pregnant for the second time and both times it took missing my period to know. I was about 4 weeks along when I found out both times. But when I thought about it I had been really tired for about a week or two before the missed period.

signs of pregnancy? An EPT will tell you within 2 weeks,however physical changes will take longer to appear( sensitivity to smells,nausea,nipple tingling/soreness,weakness,irritability)and everyone is different so someone may get all these symptoms,some may only get a few
