been pregnant once... EVER! ds now 6.

[mumnotarobot]

I have had one partner since ds's dad. I got pregnant early with him and that was my only pregnancy ever.
I have been with current partner 4 years. And i have NEVER got pregnant. We havent had sex for a year and we did last sat. This will sound strange but i knew immediately after that i would be pregnant. I have thought of being
pregnant and of course i am aware it is too early to detect. But the timing was in line with my cycle and ovulation.
Im not scared or worried. But in some ways i just want to hear from any one else who knew immediately after sex that they had concieved.
Also how soon after can i take a test?? Ive read 7-10 days.

Thanks in advance

I "knew" that the day DS was conceived we needed to have sex - DH wasn't allowed to get out of it by having a headache. Was very sure I was pregnant and I was.

Also was fairly sure after DD was conceived that I was pregnant and again I was right (this was not at a time in my cycle when I would have expected to get pregnant).

I'd wait until your period is due before testing, although I know it is hard to wait.

totally! Ds 7 this year, i think being pregnant would be fantastic.

sorry but you are not actually "pregnant" until the embrio implants into your uterus. So while you may sense that you are pregnant this is really just a state of mind, and it is highly possible that you won't be pregnant.

Even if an egg is fertilized there is no guarantee that a pregnancy will occur, in fact I read somewhere that a huge proportion of embrios never implant and that something like one in six embrios implant and the rest simply pass without the woman ever being aware that fertilization has occurred.

So while you might be pregnant, it really isn't possible to know the instant conception occurs.

why is it highly possible i wont be pregnant?? Ive read all the facts also, i guess what i wanted to hear and share are people who have sensed they were pregnant and actually were.

so no one has ever sensed they were pregnant before finding out they actually were?? Come on ppl i need some shared info...

I felt that I 'knew' I was pregnant straight away with my DD2 - as in, the day after conception took place. I suppose that was because I was fairly certain about my cycle, and because we'd conceived DD1 so easily. I really believed I was PG, and I had what I was sure were implantation pains at about 10 days. I also felt different - I don't usually go for milky things, but I had a huge craving about 10 days or so after conception for milky rice pudding, and I stood there in the kitchen making it from scratch at midnight!

One word of warning from my experience - maybe don't do what I did and test too soon. I tested a couple of days before my period was due, and the test was negative, so I discounted my earlier intuition and proceeded as normal. It was only a month or so later when I was killed with nausea every time I opened the fridge that it dawned on me that the test might have been wrong (as in, too early to be accurate). Of course by that point I had a blue line before I'd even finished weeing on the stick. I then had a dating scan, and found that I'd conceived when I thought I had.

So I wouldn't discount your intuition at all. Fingers crossed for you!

Yep I knew both times - it's wierd. There was also a third time that I knew but I turned out not to be....
