How soon did you feel you were pregnant?

Within a few days of the deed DH and I looked at each other and we both just knew it had happened. I had very flushed cheeks and warm hands which DH noticed as unusual. I felt implantation too about 6 days after. It was a hot, poking pain on my right side and the scan later confirmed that that was where he had implanted. I also just knew from the beginning that DS would be OK though I did have some health problems during the pregnancy.

With my second pregnancy I knew before I got a positive test but I felt anxiety about it from the beginning and lost it at 11 weeks. The third time I had very sore breasts within a week of conceiving, knew I was pregnant but again felt it wouldn't last and it didn't.

With ds I felt a weird 'tugging' in my tummy about a week after 'the deed' and wondered if I was, but we'd been trying for years with no joy so didn't hold out much hope. 9 months later ds was here.

With DD I knew within a week of conception because when I was in the supermarket I found myself inexplicably buying a pack of 'Kalibar' low alcohol lager - I knew I was pg as soon as I reached for it because I normally find it revolting but crave it madly when I'm pg!

I also knew I was pregnant, whilst we were having intercourse, I felt something happen, it was so weird, and very emotional...have never told my dh as I thought I was abnormal. Really interesting reading other peoples messages, and seeing this has happened to others, has made me feel like i didn't dream it!

About 5 seconds after the deed was done I had the feeling I was going to be pregnant.

With DS I knew before the deed was done - DH had a headache but there was no getting away from it .

The week before my period was due I had slightly sore breasts, which I'd never had pre-menstrually, so suspected something was up. I also had a certain 'feeling' I was pg, but talked myself out of it as I was ttc after m/c and didn't want to set myself up for diasppointment. But - two lovely pink lines on that test!

Missed period was always my first sign, and confirmed shortly afterwards by HPT.

Other than that, sore right leg would usually rear its ugly head around the 5 week mark and MS around 7 weeks.

I knew a couple of weeks before I did a test, I was so tired and queassy - and I did the test as soon as I could.

Also, looking back, the day I conceived I kept patting my stomach. I couldn't help myself. Very strange.

I knew before my period was late. No signs or symptoms I just knew. I tested so early that my line was very faint so I did about 3. Still wasnt 100% convinced even though I knew. My mum ran up the chemist and showed the pharmacist, uugh.

Really interested to see how many people just knew straightaway. I did too, but when I told people they thought I was making it up! Never met a RL person who knew immediately!

that is so weird that you knew exactly when it happened.... i never did i must say but i knew a couple of days before period was due, just had a feeling and knew there was no question about it the test would be positive, but i have never heard of what you have all experienced before....so spooky lol

HappyMum, what does implantation feel like??

I was 5 wks when prg test was confirmed - we had been trying for 8 months and dh and I had fell out - I had had flu and was feeling low, my mum and dad were going to america on the sunday and on the wed my mum said I should go with her for a break and phoned there and then to book aflight with them I went to pub and told dh I had something to tell him and he said - your pregnant and I said no i'm going to america on sun. When I was there i started feeling sick but just thought it was the heat in the car and 1 day my mum and I were in a mall and we were sitting outside a maternity clothes shop and said are you sure you couldnt be preg and I said no, came home 2 weeks later and thought I had jet lag for 2 days then started feeling as though I was going to faint - phoned my DR and she said she was not a betting women but she would put money on it that I was preg - everybody seemed to know before me p still laugh at that day in pub when i said no and i was all along

I felt the ovum burst out. And I felt it the Fallopian tube. It was the left ovary, and that was confirmed by a scan I had when I was 4 weeks gone - you could still see the corpus luteum.

Then I felt the uterus stretching. But I didn't feel implantation.

I can always feel myself ovulate. It's usually only off the left side, but this time, it was off both.

Same with me, it was just intuition. I was going home on the train and I just remember thinking 'I'm pregnant'. I started having doubts later, but that initial instinct was right.

I still don't understand how it works though...

I literally felt that soemthing different happened. Sorry about this.. but... as he came, something kind of went 'pop', it felt different. I went to the loo after and sat there and said to myslef. 'OMG, I've just conceived'. I just KNEW it, no question, no doubt, I knew for sure...and i was.

i knew when i was feeling pg when i was 3 weeks gone as was totally knackered and drained and i was pg.

It was just intuition. I just knew. I didn't have any other 'symptoms' besides fatigue.

how did you "know" just after you concieved? very interesting, would you just call it intuition? or an actual physical feeling?

Cheers mate, xx

That's quite mad isn't it.

Hope i am pregnant after 3 days of lots of sex but somehow think not, watch this space though!
