I have been trying to conceive my first child for the last two years.
I've suffered two miscarriages both at the 5/6 week mark. The first was Christmas day 2019 and the second was in July this year.
I've just finished ovulating, must be no more than 2dpo.
I know this is madness but I swear i'm pregnant. I just know.

Good luck OP. I hope you are pregnant too! I remember at 7/8 DPO I had this random sharp ain that lasted a couple of seconds. I just knew I would be pregnant, despite not having any symptoms.

I 'knew' I was pregnant with my DD just a couple of days after ovulation. And strangely my friend 'knew' I was too. DD is 30 years old now but I still remember the feeling of 'knowing'.
Everything is crossed for you OP. X

When my kids were playing together I'd sometimes think there was a child missing or think one was in another room, but they'd all be together. I was like this after each child and took it to mean I there was meant to be another child. And walking past the doctors surgery I got the feeling I'd be there again soon to see the midwife, sure enough I found out I was pregnant again. I've got four kids now and I'm sterilised and I don't get the feelings anymore. But it's so strange what our intuition tells us and you should always listen to it.

Just read the whole thread, I'm keeping everything crossed for you OP!
This could be quite outing but - my mum was seriously ill a while ago. she was in a coma for around 6 weeks. I had just found out I was pregnant the night before she went into the coma. I visited her in hospital and desperately wanted to tell her, but the doctors had warned me she was delirious and just to talk to her about 'normal things'. We didn't know if she would make it and were only allowed to visit (lockdown) to say goodbye. I was so devastated that I hadn't told her and wished I had as she may never have known. Long story short she miraculously pulled through, and when she woke up we were only allowed to phone her, whilst a nurse held her phone as she was so weak, the first thing she said to me was that she knew she had to get better for her grandchild coming! Knew then that DS was our fate baby.

I didn't test when I was pregnant with DD until really late, I'd had a previous miscarriage and just couldn't bear a negative/ faint line. When I finally did test I was about a week late and there was a massive, dark line immediately. Really hoping for the same outcome for you. 🤞

@IncludeWomenInThePrequel

I only did a pregnancy test because I was sitting alone in a room and felt very strongly that another 'soul' was there with me.

Then I had a vision where I saw my daughter and knew her name etc. When she was 18 months we were out somewhere and she ran up to me and it was the vision in real life, down to her shoes.

Good luck OP!

OMG.That's mind-blowing. x

DH knew I was pregnant before I did. I hadn't noticed any signs or symptoms, but both times he said I smelled different and encouraged me to take a test.
For my middle pregnancy, which ended in a miscarriage, he didn't notice any change in smell.

The stuff on this thread is absolutely enthralling!
Someone should record these testimonies of sixth sense, intuition, dreams, a-typical symptoms that are an individual's tell-tale signs etc, because I think it would make a bloody good book!
Thanks to everyone for contributing, because as you all know too well, the 2 week wait is hell on wheels, but because of you, I've been laughing, fascinated and totally captivated. xxx

@Constellationstation

Oh, I’m actually crying now *@Amy123456789 What with your post about your colleague’s prayers and your partner’s dream, while you were going through that. Also @chanel05* your grandad coming to tell your mum in her dream. It must be my hormones! I’m not really very spiritual, but I’m sure we’re all more spiritually connected than we realise.
There's got to be something in it hasn't there?! I mean, for my fella to share his dream with me was amazing in itself-afterall, a county derby is the closest he usually gets to a spiritual experience lol! X

I think there is something to this. I never wanted kids, was told it was unlikely to happen. We weren't trying, was using a tracking app as contraception and was regular as clockwork. We had sex, it just felt different. When we finished, DP said "I feel like we've just got pregnant" She is 6 months old now Smile Good luck OP

Mseddy · 29/08/2021 11:45

This thread had me welling up!! I honestly think there is something in it all. We have had 3 rounds of ivf. My nan was aware of them all 3 times. Only on the 3rd round did she start asking my mum if I was feeling sick etc. My mum knew I had had a positive test that morning at the equivalent of 11dpo but hadn't told a soul. She told my nan that we wouldn't know if I was pregnant for at least another week so I wouldn't be feeling sick yet. My nan very calmly told her that yes I was pregnant, this embryo was the one and I would have a little girl born in August! She was right on that embryo being the one, right on her being a little girl and she's got 48 hours to make her appearance to prove my nan right on the last one! (I'm 39 weeks so it could happen!) I also had a miscarriage with my second embryo and my mum had told my nan it had failed. I was annoyed at my mum minimising it so I rang my nan to tell her that we had actually got pregnant but lost the baby early on. Before I could even tell her she told me she knew why I had rang her and started telling me about a miscarriage she had had.
So I belive in all of this!! There are too many little things reading all these lovely stories for there not to be something in it. I've got everything crossed for you op!!!!

latte101 · 29/08/2021 11:47

I have everything crossed for you, OP.

I had two losses before DD - one of which we'd seen a heartbeat. I was convinced I couldn't carry girls, my oldest is a boy.

Anyway, I booked my smear in and explained to my DH needed to do it before I got pregnant. And that weekend we had a leftover bottle of Prosecco as I said it was our last chance as I'd be pregnant. I just knew I'd catch soon. And I did! I was very early whilst I had my smear and the practice nurse said 'good luck with the pregnancy' I was a bit Hmm and said I wasn't pregnant.

She's one next month. Currently sat here breastfeeding.

I think she has been waiting for me, or me her rather, and the two losses was her trying but knowing things weren't quite ready.

I wish you well, OP and lots of luck and love. You sound like you will be a brilliant mum 💜

RevolvingPivot · 29/08/2021 11:49

Exciting!!! Fingers and toes crossed op!!!

RevolvingPivot · 29/08/2021 11:51

What is AF?

SnotandBothered · 29/08/2021 11:55

I have two DC and have only ever taken two pregnancy tests in my life. One for each DC as both times I just knew. With DC1, knew I'd conceived from the moment we had sex. Never had that feeling before but it was so strong. I just turned over and said to DH "we've done it".

With DC2, I was swimming with baby DC1 who was nine moths old, and something about the smell of the chlorine and sensation of the water made me stop and 'listen to my body' for a second. As I stood still in the waist high water, DD swam into my tummy and put her hands flat against my belly. I bought a test on the way home and I was right.

Both times I wasn't late for my period, no sore boobs and no time to start having tangible symptoms. Just an instinct.

SnotandBothered · 29/08/2021 11:55

Ps. Fingers crossed for you OP 🤞🏼🍀

Boombadoom · 29/08/2021 11:59

I believe you OP. I ‘knew’ with both of my children too. The test was just confirmation. Best of luck xx

PaddleBoardingMomma · 29/08/2021 12:06

Not quite the same but I dreamt I knew what both my kids would look like when they were older and the 5 year old is exactly as I thought, waiting to see if this baby is the same lol

Roundandround34 · 29/08/2021 12:59

I knew both times long before period was due. I was less trusting of the instinct first time round, but knew the second time to believe it. It was the morning after DTD, I was in bed in that half asleep/awake state and the statement ‘I’m pregnant’ popped into my head. It fully woke me up and I shrugged it off as an odd thing to happen, but about 5 days later I started with the very early symptoms. A very odd thing that I’ve never known anyone else say, is that I get freezing cold around when implantation must happen. Almost like a fever, where I’ll be covered in blankets and shivering away. Lasted for 24-48 hours both times. But that’s less instinct and more weird hormonal response!

That's an amazing story. I love the "she has been waiting for me" line. A lovely thing to say about me too. I hope I get the chance to be a good mum. xxx
