Did you know you were pregnant before your BFP??

As the title says. Hands up if you were 100% certain and were proven right.

I'm 4DPO and just have a strong feeling. Just checking if I'm the only one.

With my first 3 kids as soon as I missed one day of my period I started noticing a vein that always popped out on my right breast and my nipple on that side was always very sensitive. My periods are normally bang on 28 days, so as soon as I got to day 30, I just knew.
With my fourth I tested early because I was in Home Bargains and bought some cheap tests on a whim. My period wasn't due for another 5 or 6 days and I wouldn't normally test that early, but it came up positive and I was in total shock.

Yes. First time my periods were all over the place so no idea on dpo or anything and we weren't officially trying. I was walking to work and just had the weirdest feeling I was pregnant. Tested when I got home and I was positive.

Second time I knew we'd dtd around ovulation so knew it was a possibility. I woke up at 4am about 10dpo and just knew. Couldn't get back to sleep so went downstairs - DH came down confused before 6 and did a test and was +ve.

Weirdest feeling but honestly I just knew both times even though no physical symptoms.

Yes, woke up alone in my bedroom and somehow felt not alone. The only way I can describe it is that there was another soul in the room.

Had literally been trying for three weeks.

This is such a beautiful thought! I can't stop thinking about it!

Yes. Both times. I had a very strong feeling and was right. This time I have no idea and keep swinging between yes I think I am and no I’m not, so I think I’m probably not… good luck OP.

It was a bit different but very weird, I just suddenly knew that particular cycle would be the one I got my BFP, even before I was in my fertile week, and I ended up being pregnant! It didn't stick though, but it was crazy.
Also when I had my chemical, I dreamt I was pregnant, woke up, took a test, and had a BFP. Very peculiar.

SRK16 · 05/02/2022 22:28

Yes, both pregnancies. Think I suspected at 7/8 days and was certain by day 10.

When I was pregnant the first time I noticed early after my BFP that my heart rate was significantly up. The second time I noticed this symptom well before my BFP, & put two & two together. I was undergoing fertility treatment & had been given a specific & early date to test on by the clinic, so it's not like I noticed it at 6+ weeks. It was very early & I absolutely knew just from my vastly increased heart rate that I was pregnant.

I get spotting every day for maybe a week before my period, and both times I've been pregnant, I had no spotting. So i knew really early on. Of course I didn't know for sure until my period definitely didn't show up, but I had an inkling.

PiesNotGuys · 05/02/2022 22:33

With my last two pregnancies I knew before the positive test because my pelvic pain and dysfunction started at conception. So when the pain started I knew.

After my fifth pregnancy though the pelvic pain also came back monthly with my period. For about ten years. So that was nice

Northernsoullover · 05/02/2022 22:35

Second pregnancy I just knew. I had no symptoms and my period wasn't late. It was most bizarre.

Sablemablelable · 05/02/2022 22:36

I remember with DS1 getting changed at the gym and my nipples hurt like mad from chaffing on my sports bra. I thought it was weird and wondered if I was pregnant. I got BFP that weekend.

With DS2, I had what I thought was AF. Told DH I wasn't pregnant. AF vanished after a day and I knew then that I was. I'd also had implantation bleeding with DS1.

So many more wonderful stories. It's been lovely to read so thank you all for sharing. Funny how much we are aware of subconsciously.

I've wisely stopped POAS for a few more days so will let you all know if I was right or way off! Xxx

Both times due to nausea and vomiting. First time the smell of a freezer in Sainsbury's made me heave and the second time when a smoker walked through my front door and I rushed to the loo to throw up.
Both pregnancies multiple hospitalisations due to HG from 6 weeks.

100 percent YES. At 8dpo I stood in the queue at home bargains and went all queasy and hot. I picked an FRER up from boots next door . I did the FRER that day along with a clear clue digital and both positive. I felt realy sick the day before to 7dpo but refused to believe it because I felt implantation evening of 6dpo and thought no way will I have symptoms that quick. Well I did. I'm now 6 weeks along.

20viona · 06/02/2022 07:26

Yes I just knew my body.
