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

I knew. My sense of smell always heightens. I smell everything in technicolour! Car fumes bother me to the point of sickness and I can't fry meat without wretching. I also get soooo tired, like falling aslesp anywhere and just sitting on the sofa and next thing I know two hours have passed kind of tired.

I just knew, straight away. I also knew it was a boy. When they told me it was more likely to be a girl, I thpught "that can't be right", and lo and behold I got a boy.

Yes I knew, found myself clutching tummy and talking to it!! Even though I was on contraception didn't have periods miss and could only have conceived 4 weeks ago. But somehow I knew

Yes with DD. We were on holiday and I stopped drinking as I "just knew" even though we didn't POAS until we got home a week later. Sore boobs, shattered and lack of appetite.

DS? Not so much. POAS to prove to myself I wasn't pregnant and my boobs weren't really tingly and no period was due to depo. It was positive. Went to see MW end of that week. Had scan a week later. I was 16+4

blue I'm not sure but I'm sure it can. My cycles have been a bit more regular since having DS, but I also noticed over my years of charting that they were in general more regular when I had a partner! It was almost as if my body didn't bother with ovulating as much when I wasn't sleeping with anyone . . . I have always had pretty variable cycles though, which is partly why I charted for so long, even if I was single - it meant at least I knew when my period was going to arrive, otherwise it was completely unpredictable.

Yes, with DS2. I was convinced I was pregnant - even though DS1 was an IVF baby and we were told we'd never concieve naturally. I definitely knew.
I just felt a bit "off".

Blue - yes I think progesterone is partly what sustains the luteal phase so if yours is low it can mean you have a luteal phase that's too short for successful implantation (even if you are in fact conceiving). I did natural family planning for years (fertility awareness method) so charted v carefully which is why I knew this stuff. Am quite impressed in retrospect by how effective it was given how fertile I obviously am!

Yes every time.

Couldn't stop weeing and I knew then that I was pregnant

I've "known" about 5 times. Twice I was right
I'm feel pretty confident I'm pregnant right now. I've just felt really good about this cycle from the start. Haven't tested yet but odds are in favour of me being wrong

Thanks bluewisteria but sorry I wasn't very clear - the two v. early losses were actually before the two successful pregnancies. I have one DS who has just turned two and I'm 34 weeks with no. 2. Like you I conceived very easily - in fact I have conceived every time we've tried. They were going to do some tests if it happened a third month in a row but that was the month I conceived DS.

Do you have a short luteal phase? I have a friend who has that and is trying progesterone for it. My LP is actually really long, which seems to be a bit unusual, as I can never find anything that says whether that is good or bad!

With my first and second pregnancies I only found out when my period was late. With my 3rd I just knew and found out at 3 weeks. This time around I again knew from 3 weeks as I noticed that I smelled differently, was having multiple vivid dreams every night and just felt different overall.

V. obvious in my case as the overwhelming nausea has started 48 hours after conception every time (2 pgs, 2 early losses), about 10 days before the test turns positive. One of the losses was so early that I only ever had one very faint positive test before they went negative again but it was still obvious - obvious when the pregnancy was failing too as the sickness stopped! The first pregnancy I thought I was just ill for the first few days, all the subsequent ones I recognised the feelings immediately.

I have ferocious, uncontrollable hyperemesis in pregnancy though so presumably am oversensitive to the hormones involved.

Looking back, I should have known with DS - sore boobs, weird taste in mouth, funny "tugging" sensation in my lower abdomen. But we weren't trying, so I didn't make the connection, and it was still a shock to get a BFP. Second time around, I felt that "tugging" feeling about 3 days before my period was due, and I just knew. Sadly I miscarried that time.

Big tender veiny boobs a few days before my period was due gave it away.

Still got pissed on NYE before I took the test though

I knew within days with all three of them, well before it was soon enough to test.

It sounds mad, but I knew immediately after dtd that I'd get pregnant with DC2. No idea how or why, but I've never been so sure about anything in my life. It was weird as it was the first time of trying and it had taken almost a year to get pregnant with DC1.

I didn't have a clue what sex any of them were though - all boys, incidentally.

Yes. From only a few days post ovulation. Nausea, insomnia & PMS symptoms starting far earlier than usual. And I knew beyond any doubt, that DD would be a girl.

I never tested. Does that count?

I had no idea with DD- a total shock. I'd consumed quite a lot a wine a few days before and thought I had a long lasting hangover.

I had an incline the second time I was pregnant but sadly MC'd.

We were travelling back from France before I found out I was pregnant with DS. I was only 10dpo but I felt really acidic. I didn't tell DH. I arrived home and had a test in the drawer. I was so convinced. I didn't even look at the test- I handed it to DH and said 'there you go!'
