how soon did you know?

[octaviarose]

did anyone just know and if so what make you think yes I am!

About a week or so after conceiving, I ate some chocolate and had a funny metallic taste in my mouth. Then took a test as early as possible (ie after another week!)

Second and third time around I didn't really know because I was over thinking every symptom.

I didn't know until a few days before my period and took a test. In hindsight though I came out in a full body rash a couple of days after conceiving which I think was connected, so if that ever happens again I will suspect pregnancy

well i was actively trying very hard with the one im expecting now i knew about a week and a half after or i had a feeling at least reason behind that was i was on holiday and eating sausage with cheese yes cheese ? lol i thought nothing of it at the time but my husband pointed it out lol i did a test and got a faint pos so many days after that incident when i returned off holiday

My period was 2 days late! 8+2 and still don't feel pregnant.

I thought I 'knew' every month whilst ttc and totally convinced myself! The month I actually was I thought 'no way' and only tested as wanted a glass of wine and had a test left over.
I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and do not feel at all pregnant despite seeing baby and heartbeat at 7 weeks...

Sometimes you think you are but you aren't. I was so convinced that I told my partner that night that I was 100% sure. I would not have said that to him unless I was certain. My period had been due that day but one day late was not unusual for me. In the morning I rushed down to boots and bought a pack of 3 tests. I back tracked a little and said ''oh well...maybe 50%" to my partner. I took a test and it was negative. I felt a fool. So I forgot about it. 4 days later still no period, and I was really late. So I did another test from the pack and found that I was pregnant! I was stunned. So although when I took the the first test I was only about 3 1/2 weeks (my cycle is quite short at 25days) l instinctively knew I was but rather than just knowing - I was totally certain.. I don't know how to describe the difference. By 6 weeks hormones were raging through me so strongly that I could not believe how anyone gets to that stage without knowing. But I know that they do!

I had a really distinctive prodding sensation a few days before I was due, then convinced myself I was mad and imagining things, then tested a few days after I was due and got the shock of my life!

I knew the week we concieved. I got lots of cramps which i never have before a period until the day before i am due and i had these the whole week.
I stayed with my best friend for a weekend visit and did the whole talking out loud telling her that i knew i wouldnt be pregnant this time but it was crazy as i was symptom spotting loads. I think i was trying to not get myself over excited. Then the next week i needed to pee loads (i try not to pee at work as i get stage fright lol)
Then the few days before i was due i got heartburn/indigestion (which i have never had before in my life) I had to get tablets and everything so i started to believe i could be, but again kept saying out loud to dh that i couldnt be as it was so fast. Low and behold 2 days later +ve test.

I suspected about a week before my p was due. I was extra tired and just kind of knew....but thought perhaps it might be like those who think they r when trying to conceive. Also, what r the chances of falling pregnant first try and still breastfeeding! I took a test a couple days before my p was due, it had a faint positive (sainsbury brand). Almost to the point it could be negative. Clear blue said negative. I sent a photo of the faint positive to my husband and he said, def negative!! Well, that negative is 34 weeks and moving around in my belly now :) I think it's hard to say though bc every women is different and every pregnancy is different! First time around no sickness or symptoms. This time, I had a tummy ache every day. It wasn't so bad, just had to eat all the time the first 15 weeks or so...okay okay, I still eat all the time :)

Anyway, if u have a hunch, take a test :)

I just knew, about a week after conception. implantation pain for several days, nausea 24/7. Also dizziness. Didn't test until I was 3 days late though.

I think about a week after conception. had sore boobies and would have been 2 weeks early for pms. i think i just knew and had better idea from having 1st child.
this time we wont be having any early private scans so waiting for midwife and scan appointments is hard!

This sounds a bit odd but I knew the moment that he/she was conceived (currently 14 wk +4), I said to my husband "we've just made a baby" and he of course laughed this off - i just knew that something had happened in that moment some how. My breasts felt tender earlier than normal (which is usually the week leading up to my period), I was irritable with friends and family and I had a strange taste in my moth (that watery taste you get on a hangover when you think you're about to get sick but never do!). 3 days after my late period I took the test as a semi joke with my husband and there is was - my melodramatic ways were justified!

I didn't just 'know' but with ds1 my nipples changed shape before my period was due. But I left the pregnancy test till I was 10 days late because we'd been trying for so long that I was almost scared of finding out, in case anything went wrong.

With ds2 I was lying on the bed and felt that sort of electrical buzzing feeling for about 30 seconds in my lower tummy. I had heard about some women experiencing this, and I looked down and said 'hello'. Sure enough the next day I thought I was going to faint while pushing ds1 pram and 10 days later got a bfp.

I had a hunch about a week after we conceived as I had slight implantation bleeding. But it didn't feel real until the 12 week scan....

About 5 days after - my norks felt like they were made of concrete & about to explode.

Still do. I'm now 10+2

I was in boots and had this random urge to buy a pregnancy test. No major reason why, the thought hadnt crossed my mind at all untill that moment.

Even when I was poas I still wasent really thinking about it. So was a shock when that line appeared!

First time round I suspected at around 3weeks and was fairly certain by 3+4 so took a test. I had period cramps but no period and needed to wee more often than usual.

2nd time I was convinced before we even started trying that I would be pregnant this month and excitedly took a test - negative. I accepted that I wasn't pregnant and bought expensive ovulation tests for next month. A week later still no period so I took another test expecting it to be negative - couldn't believe it when a line appeared. I was only 3+3 though, so really early!

I got my BFP at 3+4 but knew a couple of days before that as everything smelt really strong from far away (coffee, cigarette smoke, cleaning products etc) plus I felt really weepy and emotional. Got a faint line at 3+4 on a cheapie, it was stronger the following day so I got a digi test- pregnant!

No one believes me when I say this, but I knew within 4 days of conception. Tingling boobs, abdomen all weird in a way I'd never experienced before...turned out to be my 18mo PFB.

I suspected 3 days after, had a funny feeling in my tummy, and had a metallic taste in my mouth. I just had a feeling, took a test 2 weeks later and BFP!!

with 2 of them I knew the next day.

the others I knew by 6 weeks

I knew about a week after, 2 weeks before I was due my period. I went to go and visit my mum for Mother's Day and the next evening when DH picked me up at the train station I said in the car I thought I was...I'd been symptom spotting, I waited the 2 weeks though and the first day I was due on bought cheap tests from B&M (thinking I'd been wrong in the past and didn't want to waste money) 3 BFPs later we went to buy clear blue just to be absolutely certain. 7 tests and 5 scans later i'm 29+4 now and still sometimes think "i cant believe we're having a baby!!" and he's due end of November lol

I didn't know until I was two days late and took a test, but it made sense of spending the previous day sitting indoors being irrationally furious with everything my DP did

I didn't feel any physically different but I just 'knew' and told the women at the council office when paying my council tax. I just blurted it out and then when I left I thought 'what's wrong with me? Why did I say that?' I took a test 15 mins later and it was positive!

I was so happy :)

I'm now 31 + 3 days and we can't wait to meet him :)

Aroubd 3/4 days after ovulation I have sore boobs and a grumbly/bubbly/ crampy tummy... Then a week later I had a metallic taste in my throat, Did a test 1 weeks later and was BFP!
