It is very possible to know and often very easy to detect if a woman is pregnant before she even misses her menstrual cycle. Women who are trying to conceive, and for whom monitoring their basal body temperature is a usual exercise, they may record fluctuations in their basal temperature at or around the time of ovulation. One of the earliest possible signs of pregnancy is when that temperature remains high after ovulation and then remains high when your next period is due.

The proper determination of the pregnancy before missing the period or before taking the pregnancy test is more like putting a piece of puzzle together. Some women do not experience any sign of pregnancy others may experience all. However there are bright chances that every pregnant women experience at least one early sign of pregnancy.
