There are, but they all mimic PMS, virus, hormonal imbalance, other medical problems, etc etc. They would be breast tenderness, nausea, vomiting, headache, fatigue, bloating, cramps, appetite changes, frequent urination, etc.

Some women can just know, yes. But I've seen many women who claim they know, only to find out they actually are not.

Are there any pregnancy symptoms that aren't the basic missed period, morning sickness, etc. that are detected in early, early pregnancy's? Can some women be intuitive when it comes to knowing theyre pregnant?

Yup. Many don't realize it, but the vagina is acidic. It's pH level is anywhere from a 3-4. The vagina is self cleaning, and being acidic it can kill any foreign bacteria that enter it. (You also have healthy bacteria in the vagina, necessary for things to work smoothly)  However, this can kill some of the sperm, making it difficult to conceive a child or a particular gender--especially if your levels are off or you have too much/too little bacteria levels.

It is and isn't. You have to have sex when you're ovulating, or in the days leading up to ovulation. A female can't get pregnant without ovulation, otherwise there is nothing for the sperm to join with. They are just absorbed by the body. The quality of the egg, the sperm, your cervical mucous, the acidity of the vagina, and timing all influence this. And then even if the two DO join the egg might not implant, one or the other might be bad, the uterine lining might be too thin, you could have a luteal phase defect making conception difficult... There are dozens upon dozens of things that can influence pregnancy--it's quite amazing when you think about it. Even things such as stress can cause you to not get pregnant or get a period.

So, basically its not that easy to get pregnant. Its more about when you're ovulating and most fertile?As well as the quality of the sperm? Sorry for all of the questions... I'm very curious and a little worried.
