Your surprise pregnancy

I've 3 kids and we aren't having any more for practical reasons but I have a secret little daydream that I find out I'm pregnant with number 4. We always use condoms and they haven't failed us yet. My husband really does what he can to make sure there won't be any more babies!

Because my husband has a very strict contraceptive policy, our 3 kids were very carefully planned. I got pregnant very quickly and started testing early (got early positives with them all!). I was aware from the day I ovulated right up until a few days before my period was due that I could be pregnant. While it was thrilling to find out I was pregnant with my much wanted babies, I do often wonder what it's like to have a surprise pregnancy!

Obviously I know what a surprise pregnancy is, that contraception fails and that people get dates wrong but I'm always fascinated by how it happens and what gives women the clue that they are pregnant. I love reading about cryptic pregnancies too! Does anyone want to share their experience so I can live through you vicariously? I'm feeling really broody!
