Did you know you conceived before taking a test

[BumbleBeeYellow]

Hello!

Did anyone know they had conceived before taking a test? Did you notice anything obvious? Feel different? Or just know?!

I was alert for change as we were trying, and also I knew I had just ovulated, but yes I did notice. I suddenly couldn't hold it for any length of time at all when I needed a wee. We were on holiday and walking a lot - it happened a few times that I had to dive into a bush because I really couldn't hold it in. This would have been about 1-2 weeks after ovulating; I did a test after about 3 weeks and it was positive.

I was pretty convinced. I had ridiculously sensitive sore boobs and intense lower backache for three or four days - wearing a bra was agony and I was nearly crying by the end of a trip to the supermarket because of the back pain. I can understand why people might confuse the symptoms with pre-period symptoms, but they didn't feel at all the same to me. I've never felt period cramps in my back, and I tend to get little shooting pains in my boobs rather than the sort of heaviness and extreme sensitivity I had. Plus this was way too early in the month for my period. At the time I felt so weird that I didn't understand how anyone could not know. Turned out to be twins, though, so my hormone levels must have been through the roof!

Thank you all! Lovley to hear your stories

Yes every time (2DC, 2 early losses) -- walked into a wall of nausea about 48 hours after conception every time. This is weird and supposed to be impossible before implantation but I went on to have v. severe hyperemesis. In all pgs it was obvious way before it was possible to test.

I knew with my 2nd and my 3rd

My 2nd I just felt different. It took 2 weeks to get a positive test and I was so smug as I'd been telling DP I was pregnant and he didnt believe me

With my 3rd I found out 4 days before my period was due. I just felt so tired and drained. I took the test to rule out pregnancy and was so shocked it was positive!
