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?

I never knew (until I tested) and never had any inkling about the sex.

:-)
I already have 3 dcs but these symptoms are completely new to me.

I just knew even when I got a negative test at the doctors. A urine infection was masking a positive test and about 3 days later I got my positive. It strange really to just know xx

Mrsgentle2014 · 27/12/2014 18:49

I feel like this at the moment... I'm pretty adamant I am... My body just feels so Different! On top of this, my boobs are SO sore, I'm nauseous and absolutely shattered, vivid dreams.
BFN today, but something just does not feel right? X

Bustherb · 27/12/2014 18:57

Mrs gentle I was exactly the same when I had a negative, i even had implantation bleeding which the doctor dismissed as a possible early early misscarraige due to having a negative test. Xx

Mrsgentle2014 · 27/12/2014 19:15

bustherb maybe I am?
My first pregnancy didn't show up positive until nearly 9 weeks... I've got a lot of waiting around! Will see how I feel in a week, I think? Something isn't right though?

Mrsgentle2014 · 28/12/2014 23:52

bustherb - what was your implantation bleed like?? trying to work out what my 5 minute show was today??

Bustherb · 29/12/2014 08:17

Mrs it was like a wipe and very pink stained discharge around 9 days before af was due, we dtd around this time too and I bled quite a lot, that was just pure red no clots or anything xxx

IBrokeTheInternetB4itWasCool · 29/12/2014 08:40

Congrats OP, that's definitely a positive! I just knew with my first. I did a test and it was negative (too early), and then I started getting 'period pains' (implantation) and I spent all weekend googling if you could have period pain and still be pregnant - yep! Got my bfp a few days later, but I just knew. xx

Mrsgentle2014 · 29/12/2014 09:50

I'm having period pain like cramping... Just no where near as bad as my usual though, bit of pinky discharge yesterday lunchtime and nothing since?

Bustherb · 29/12/2014 17:32

That's what mine was like, I think i just bled more because we dtd and I always bleed a bit when dtd x when are you due?x

Mrsgentle2014 · 29/12/2014 18:01

Christmas eve, I think? My cycle are a little out of whack at the moment... So I'm not entirely sure. But I'm now nearly 5 weeks since my last? But then I could have ovulated later?
Some bad back pain this evening and a bit of twingynpain on my left, but still clear discharge today.. Odd!?

mumofmunchkin · 29/12/2014 18:07

I "knew" but only because we'd been trying and my period was a few days late, so the positive result wasn't a surprise.

GoodZingWenceslass · 29/12/2014 18:09

with DS4 & DS5 I just knew the next morning

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!

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...

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.. !?!

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 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?

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

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

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.
