That you were pregnant?
I cant test until Sunday, but for the last few days I have been feeling off colour, tired, nauseas, back pain etc. So just wondering how early all of you had any forms of pregnancy and did you know you were preg before doing a test? Thanks :) |

I "knew" at about 4 weeks, but didnt do a test until 6 weeks, was so sure that when my friend said "well....are you or not?" i was like , "i am....but i better have a look at the result on the test" haha.
I didnt get any symptoms until after i did the test, by which time i already knew so...... |

With Maya, I had no idea, I didn't even notice AF was late for a few days.
With the baby we lost we were TTC so I knew AF was late but tests kept coming up negative. With the gremlins I had a suspicion from a couple of days before AF was due, no concrete reason why, I just felt pregnant. With this one I woke up in the middle of the night about a week before AF was due and was like "crap, my boobs are huge, I'm pregnant!" Sure enough... ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

We were TTC so I was hoping, and my boobs were feeling super weird - I got a BFP about 4 days before AF was due. -------------

When I was preg with Alyssa I had sore boobs at about 6 weeks and just thought I had slept on them funny. I complained about the pain to a friend at work who said "ha ha, you're probably pregnant"...tested that day and she was right!
This time around I swear I knew I was pregnant the day after we had BD'd! Maybe it's because it happened so fast last time I was convinced it would be the same the second time around. So maybe it was in my imagination but it was true. |

With Spencer I had lost track of my cycles and only took the test cos I hadn't had a period for a while, didn't feel pregnant until 6 weeks, took test at around 5 weeks.
With the mc I felt pregnant 4 days before AF was due, nearly had to pull over on motorway to throw up and was definite ms feeling, took a test the next morning and got a faint positive. This time didn't feel pg but couldn't hold off testing until AF was due so took the test a couple of days earlier and got a poss result, ms kicked in about a week later still don't really have sore boobs. -------------

I get nausea and fatigue, no ms, but will all my pg'cies I didn't actually "know" I was pg until I saw the test (at about 2 days overdue, I guess). With Hannah I was sure that I wasn't because I had really hoped the month before so I was more "in charge of my emotions" - whatever! With the other girls I seemed to "know" for at least the previous month that I was pg. And of course I wasn't. So I didn't know any more than usual. ------------- |

I started feeling odd and dizzy at 3 weeks (1 week after making baby). Did test a day or two after AF was due. By then I was so sure I would have been really shocked and confused if I didn't get a BFP!
Mind you, I thought I "knew" almost every month before AF turned up and ruined it! -------------

For those who get sore boobs before AF, did you have sore boobs as per normal? Did anyone have sore boobs that went away? (I'm pretty convinced that this month is another no go, but thought I might try for a little more hope anyways  ) Oh and big breasted girls (I'm a DD) did you actually feel your breasts got bigger?------------- TTC #2 |

| I didn't get one till 6 1/2 weeks (I'm strange somehow), but in hindsight I did have sore boobs (although always had sore boobs hence why I've just had an op). M/s kicked in 3 days later! |

I think I got normal achy pre-AF boobs at 3-4 weeks but at about 5 weeks I got sore boobs in a totally different kinda sharp way. Mmmm, stabby joy! Oh, and they were bigger than normal! (and still are, yay for preggy boobs!) -------------

I never use to get sore boobs prior to AF...so I knew some thing was up when they got sore.
I am B-C cup (Dep on what style bra and what brand)...and no they didnt go that much bigger as I am still wearing the same bra. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My boobs always got sore with AF, so I didn't think much of it... but I was an A cup and went up a whole cup size, I mean they usually get a little bigger at that time of month, but not THAT much bigger. ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

I didn't know any different.... we had even been watching the Mothers Day documentaries about pregancy and child birth and we were kinda thinking "that could be us" but I didn't think we would get pregnant so soon. AF usually turns up days 27-29 and I tested at day 31. The little blue line was sooo faint, but it was definitely there. I followed it up wth a blood test. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

It feels like that for me too! Nearly half way, amazing how fast it has gone! Lots and lots of baby dust to you, I hope you get your BFP in 4 days! (if you can wait until then to test) -------------

I just checked my chart and at 7DPO i first noted having super sensitive nipples... They were really hard and were super sensitive to cold, I was having 2-3 showers/bath when I got home from work to try and warm them up. (with lots of strange looks from DH as i was rubbing them all the time)
It got a little worse every day and by 10 DPO the tips were white, I was pretty sure I was pregnant, didnt get a clear BFP until 14 DPO though. -------------

Oh yay I'm glad I read this thread as was feeling a little down at getting a BFN at 11DPO! Still have PSN though, although bbs aren't overly sore- more sensitive than anything. Sigh. I guess I will just have to wait. Patience is NOT my strongest virtue lol -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I think I knew within a couple of weeks of conception. My son had been very ill with campolybacter, and because I was feeling so tired and nauseous, I was thinking that I had either caught what he had, or I could possibly be pregnant. Just a feeling I had!
Then a week or so later my period was due and didn't arrive.... as well, my boobs were soooooo heavy and sore. So I took a pregnancy test at 5:30am (about 3 days after period would usually arrive).... it was positive. Took another later on that day at the doctor's rooms. It was a very faint positive. The nurse did it for me, and wasn't terribly supportive, almost like I was a nuisance... which was a bit of a bummer.

Man, what is it with dr surgery nurses?????
I have not had a good experience with one in the last 12 months. Hospital nurses on the other hand are super. Sorry you didnt have a good experience Beachy, congrats on your pregnancy. No offense intended to anyone on here who is dr surgery nurse, I am sure that most of them are lovely.  -------------

Melnel- I know I should wait to test lol. Not sure if I'll need to or if AF is coming aargh Has anyone ever been pg but thought AF was coming? I mean the sypmtoms are so similar, and I'm sure there was a thread on here somewhere about cramping in early pg feeling like AF's arrival. I'm not having cramps, more a full feeling, kind of general achiness....hmmm could well be that old bat on her way lol

Emmecat, I've been feeling that way too. I've decided my PSN's are just cold. Think I might go have an afternoon soak in the bath to cheer me up. One day I'll learn some patience and not feel so much like I'm just marking time. ------------- TTC #2 |

Oh no Tracey that sucks you have the ache too! My aching has kinda gone now so not sure what's happening! My PSN are definately not just cold. They're still pink and puffy lol TMI

Mine are still puffy too and not just from the cold. I'm not really achey now, was last night and today I'm just more general achyness (hence the bath) and just tired (which probably has more to do with the CFS and a big walk to Swanson and back this morning). So I just don't know and I think I'm done trying to guess, as you say a BFP would just make things so much clearer. I hope that if I'm not pregga's that I get a short cycle again rather then the long one.  ------------- TTC #2 |

If AF arrives this month, then I believe I would now have had every possible symptom except for a false positive HPT. ------------- TTC #2 |
