Did anyone 'just know' they were pregnant before testing?

I've heard lots of people in real life mention that they 'just knew' they were pregnant. Did anyone on here feel that? And were the right or wrong??

I suspected with both my children and wasn't surprised at all, more 'thought so', but not sure I ever definitely 'knew' before testing.
I was however certain from the moment I found out that they were both girls, and they were.

Did anyone 'just know' and how often were you right or wrong?

My body, so far, has taken 4 months post pill and still hasnt regulated - it can take years for some people! :(

rox - I had one glass of wine over christmas and felt absolutely out of it!! keep feeling Dizzy. NO IDEA what is happening..

runs out to tesco to buy another test

rachelrawrrr · 30/12/2014 20:52

I've just checked the calendar and it's actually 3 and a half weeks since I stopped the pill... bloomin' hell body, if you're regulating, you're taking your sweet time! Angry

Rox19 · 30/12/2014 20:47

Yes 2 times I fainted around9/10 dpo and 3 times (3 sep preg) was vvvv drunk on virtually no wine, like 2 small glasses.

rachelrawrrr · 30/12/2014 20:44

I know what you mean haha I've got half a bottle in the fridge, from boxing day but I just daren't touch it Blush although I may just go and eat lots of ice cream Grin just made tea and I can't eat it Envy

Mrsgentle2014 · 30/12/2014 20:41

ahhh yes, i understand! I just ordered a load... still fighting the urge to go buy an early detection one though as my husband is at work tonight and im bored and I want wine. haha

rachelrawrrr · 30/12/2014 20:36

I think they pick up from a 10 strength (is that clear? I'm new hahaha)

Mrsgentle2014 · 30/12/2014 20:34

oh really?? what strength are they? xx

rachelrawrrr · 30/12/2014 20:32

when I'd had the implant removed and stopped the depo, by this time AF had come Shock I know it could just be my body regulating itself, but I just feel dreadful! Sad
I've gone and bought some cheap first response ones from amazon, got 15 for just under £3, the reviews say they can be used up to 6 days before you'd usually show Grin if that's any help? X

Mrsgentle2014 · 30/12/2014 20:19

I came off my pill in August and since then Ive had 2 periods - one brought on by an internal ultrasound scan... so no idea - people do and can fall straight away - its just the not knowing isnt it?
Im half tempted to go and buy a first response early detection test .. if that doesnt show anything - im done and thats me out haha :)

rachelrawrrr · 30/12/2014 20:15

sounds exactly like me! it's just awful Sad

I don't even know because I'm only 2 and a bit weeks off the pill, so I've got absolutely no idea Confused not charted any temps or anything (seems confusing) I just don't remember feeling this terrible coming off of other forms of contraception Hmm

time shall tell, but I don't want to wait hahaha Grin

Mrsgentle2014 · 30/12/2014 20:00

How many days dpo are you, rachel?

Mrsgentle2014 · 30/12/2014 19:59

haha.. I feel like I'm peeing on a stick CONSTANTLY! But, each time, they are strong BFN. Nausea has stayed the same - getting waves of it every now and then. Dreams continue to be SO vivid - OH said its like Im running in my sleep sometimes. WEIRD.
My boobs are so sore and my nipples are unbelievably sensitive - the cold hurts them at the moment.
Crampy feelings and back ache but NO AF.
:( Just wish AF would just come already, so I can continue!

rachelrawrrr · 30/12/2014 19:54

mrsgentle none as of yet, but still no AF! And my nausea is getting so much worse.. I can smell the cat food from the other side of the room and my shampoo is making me feel so sick Sad I reckon if I am, it'll be a good couple of weeks until things show up.... still peeing on a stick every other day though Wink

any news with you? Grin xx

Gr33dyeggs · 30/12/2014 17:50

I may sound crazy but last time I swear I felt the sperm heading up my fallopian tube! We hadn't had unprotected sex for 5.5 years though so could have been more a reaction to it Shock.
About a week later I started with tingly nipples, tiredness and immense hunger so was quite sure i was pg b4 AF was late.

Mrsgentle2014 · 30/12/2014 17:23

rachel any news?

Thanks IBroke, unfortunately it was a chemical pregnancy Sad
The thing is I knew it had gone before a neg test or AF, I had a real hormone 'drop', the progesterone plummeting. But 'I knew' both when I had conceived and then lost it, the feelings/sensations literally stopped me in my tracks walking down the street. Bodies are really amazing sometimes.

Bustherb · 29/12/2014 21:11

About 5 days after af due I got a positive. I had a negative 2 days before that though xx

rachelrawrrr · 29/12/2014 21:01

I'm pretty sure I am, but as it's #1 I'm trying not to get my hopes up Sad

came off the pill 2 weeks ago (maybe longer, I've always been terrible with the pill) and in the past couple of days I've had very sore boobs, had trouble sleeping, cramping (for about a week and a bit, could have sworn it was AF, but she's not appeared!), the nausea I'm experiencing is terrible too Sad and not sleeping!
I don't want to get my hopes up too much, as I know it's too early to tell & I don't get periods, so can't tell if it's late. but I also know you get some symptoms coming off the pill, so Hmm

Mrsgentle2014 · 29/12/2014 20:11

POAS 23rd and 27th... BFN. Don't know whether to leave it until the end of this week? See if AF has arrived, if not... I can test?
How far gone were you when you found out?

Bustherb · 29/12/2014 20:08

Have you tested? I had a negative test but because I had a urine infection it masked my positive result xx

Mrsgentle2014 · 29/12/2014 19:04

Also find myself losing concentration half way through a sentence and not being able to get my words out...
manic symptom watcher over here.. !?!

Mrsgentle2014 · 29/12/2014 18:19

I just feel really out of sorts... Picked up a sniffly nose in the last few days, but can still smell everything!?
Awful cramps and back pain about 3 hours ago and then it stopped and nothing...

Purplehonesty · 29/12/2014 18:11

Yes I knew. Sore boobs when I showered that morning. Both times.
So I got a test and it was positive.
The first time I was totally shocked and in disbelief despite ds being planned!
