Did you know before your BFP?

Hi I'm currently on CD26 but for the last week have just not felt right, pressure headaches, carb loving, tired and now achey like period is going to come on. I remember this feeling when I fell pregnant with my DS. I don't want to POAS till next weekend as would rather not see a negative test. So my question is did you know you we're pregnant before your period was due and if so how? Grin

I had absolutely no idea. It was IVF and I was 100% sure it hadn't worked. I just felt "blank" and had no symptoms at all. I only took a test at home because the clinic wanted to do a blood HCG test and I wanted to prepare myself before getting that call at work.

I had far fewer symptoms on my BFP cycle than on many other cycles.

I 'knew' because I felt slightly nauseous if I went too long without eating & the spray from the shower was painful on my nipples!

one of my first symptoms was awful spotty skin I'm afraid!!!
I had a very good idea before my bfp. I felt like I was coming down with something like a cold for a week,but never did. I felt exhausted all the time (and still do at 9weeks) and my boobs got bigger and nipples got larger!! it was our first month ttc (I know,hate me if u want!!) so I don't know how much I would have symptom spotted anyway!!

Aww I want to marvel at my amazing skin too but I'm due today and it hasn't happened yet! :(. My hair is lovely and thick though, even if it does seem to look constantly greasy.

I was always one of those people who are convinced they're pregnant every month, even when I was on the pill. I never had regular periods on the pill so I used to get through loads of cheap pregnancy tests just to reassure myself. Oddly, when I actually was pregnant, I didn't feel pregnant at all except for a bit of heartburn - I decided to do a test because I walked past a window at work and out of the corner of my eye it looked like I had a huge bump! And I hadn't done a test for a few weeks and had some lying around so I thought I might as well. Very spooky since I was less than four weeks pregnant when I found out so obviously no bump at that point!
