How soon did you feel you were pregnant?

When I was preg with DS I knew within about 5 seconds that I was pregnant...never had that feeling before and was very bizarre.

What's the earliest you felt different?

leglebegle - what test did you use that showed up result so quickly!??

Am feeling all the symptoms again - but convinced that it's really all in my mind. Must wait until next weekend til AF due.

The wait is just intolerable!! Keeping fingers crossed for a +

Blimey - that's an early show up isn't it? Thought you could only do it 3 days before. Oh well, will try later this week.

sorry, DH, just seen this! It was Clear blue. I have 2 friend who also tested early and one had a thin blue line like me and the other got no line but was ultimately pregnant. Perhaps different people produce more of the pregnancy hormone than others? Good luck though.

when is the earliest you can (sensibly!) test to see if you are pregnant?

canthisberight · 07/02/2005 22:10

Sorry - just seen earlier posts on this. Would still be interested to hear the definitive view, if there is one.

ernest · 08/02/2005 08:22

some tests can be used 10 days post ovulation, but the general rule of thumb is to wait 14 days post ovulation

tex111 · 08/02/2005 19:09

I got a positive with a First Response test 9 days past ovulation, about 6 days before my period was due. There's also a super-sensitive test you can buy at www.medisave.com that can get a result as early as 7dpo (days past ovulation), though the earliest I got with it was still 9dpo.

This has been a really interesting thread - thanks everyone who has shared their stories - it is strange isn't it how some people just 'know' and feel 'different' in some way...

Tessiebear, I wish! We're still trying. Fingers crossed it happens soon and the next one is a keeper.

been having period like feelings (not due for nearly 2 weeks) and just like something is going on in there but only done it twice during ovulation and really want to have no.2 but darent get too excited....oh the waiting!!! Gonna do one of those ebay early tests trying to keep it real and i nmy head am saying I am probably not so wont be dissapointed but I cant believe I feel like i really might be so early...can it be psychological...probably!

with ds i had no clue even had periods etc, with this baby I knew within 3 days of conception which was bizarre...then it was confirmed 9 days after ovulation.

oh god Jam3 - we've all done it! I've thought a few times that I was, and could have laid money on it - but got disappointed and felt so silly. Don't feel silly. We all know our own bodies really well and sometimes they play tricks on us, or we just misjudge occasionally.

cinderelly · 15/09/2005 18:28

I think i knew instantly. I remember feeling a kind of 'click' iykwim. When I told my doctor she told me not to be so stupid! But Im still convinced that I did.

Nightynight · 15/09/2005 18:43

I heard about this, but I never had any feelings about it at all!

jam3 · 15/09/2005 19:01

normally I figure these abbrivations out but just too tired.someone please tell me what "iykwim" means?? Sorry for being thick.........

Nightynight · 15/09/2005 19:07

if you know what I mean

janeybops · 15/09/2005 19:23

a few days after period was due I went swimming and when I came out of the pool and my boobies tingled. At the time I didn't realise what it meant and carried on for another two weeks before I thought that I should do a pt.
