How soon did you know you were pregnant?

Almost feel silly for asking this!!
I have 2 kids aged 5 and under and have also had the copper coil in for about 2 years.
However I can't shake the feeling I'm pregnant, my af isn't due for another 2 weeks but for the last few days I have felt cranky and bloated as well as being dizzy and passing out once and very nauseous but not sick.
I know the chances of being pregnant with the coil are minimal but dh said the other day that he could feel something scratching him so now I'm paranoid it's moved as it has never done that before!!
So really question is did you know you were pregnant before your af was due? I'm almost sure I could with my first 2 but both were planned and conceived within a month of trying so could just have been in my head!!
Really panicking now!!!
Thanks guys

if it's two weeks before your period then unless you ovulated early you'd only just have ovulated. so you won't have any symptoms yet.

I had sore boobs about 6 dpo. I had headaches in the week following that and acid reflux a couple of days before af was due. I was also bloated by the time af was due.

Chloerose75 · 05/04/2014 21:19

2 weeks before your period you would not even be pregnant yet!

nyldn · 05/04/2014 21:36

I had a positive test 10 dpo as well, but I was certain 7 dpo as had implantation bleeding and just knew.

neversleepagain · 05/04/2014 21:46

Suspected at 6dpo. Knew at 9dpo.

I know it seems stupid, I have always ovulated early compared to what is considered normal I have a positive result a week before my af was due with my first 2 and my cycle is like clockwork!
Really hoping in not though as much as I'd love another bump now is not the right time!

Maybe just go to the dr to get your coil checked if you are concerned it may have moved, and ask for a pg test while there to be on the safe side.

mylittlemonkey · 05/04/2014 22:16

I suspected 3 out of the 5 times I have been pg at implantation as got pains in abdomen and more significantly, a few days after I felt my boobs were really sensitive which never happens otherwise. Had to wait at least a week before anything started showing on a test.

Boogles91 · 05/04/2014 22:57

I didnt know, i thought my m.e was making a comeback as my fatigue levels were getting bad, aswell as my sciatica and other health probs...then it dawned on me just to do a test so i did the morning i was due to see my doc and there was two very strong lines :D id held my pee in so it would be a an accurate result :) i was 7wks by then! Xx

LettertoHermioneGranger · 05/04/2014 23:02

I would take a test, as doesn't the coil sometimes 'mask' pregnancies early on? I wouldn't think you were pregnant from this cycle, but possibly last cycle. Also important to get checked, as the possibility of an ectopic is higher with the coil.

ImBrian · 06/04/2014 09:34

I had cramp at 6 dpo, implantation pain at 7dpo and a bfp at 9 dpo.

Bankholidaybaby · 06/04/2014 09:51

I had hideous cramps at 6dpo, felt really light-headed and odd, and got a BFP at 9dpo.

I will be testing ASAP but since in not due for a week or 2 their is no point yet hopefully I'm just being paranoid although I have been so sick this morning!!

dimdommilpot · 06/04/2014 11:56

It was within days of OV. I just knew, i kept going light headed, i had a nose like a bassett hound, i went off chocolate (un heard of) and was a bit grouchy. It was month 1 of trying so i was looking for signs. It took all my will power not to test until AF due, when i woke that morning to nothing that was confirmation (every 4th Thursday morning like clockwork), I did a test which confirmed.

Chloerose75 · 06/04/2014 13:46

OP if you are preg then it sounds like it would be from your last cycle, so you can already test.

Blueshine · 06/04/2014 14:04

Surely that's not possible because af. Definitely visited last month!!

OP posts:

Chloerose75 · 06/04/2014 14:16

Yeah but I still think it's more plausible than this cycle, as this cycle if you're two weeks off you're period you would only just be ovulating so not even pregnant yet unless you ov very early, in which case you might just be implanting, and it's still possible to have a bleed in early pg. symptoms definitely sound more like 6-7 weeks than just freshly implanted! Do a cheapie test for piece of mind.

januaryJump · 06/04/2014 20:40

With both pregnancies I have had my suspicions at 1-2wks before AF was due. PG1 was kind of planned, but we hadn't really been trying due to other stuff going on so it was still a bit of a surprise. PG2 completely unplanned. In both cases there were little changes, such as in my taste, but the main thing that got me both times: kept waking up really early, every day, even if I thought I wanted to lie in. Unfortunately that energy disappears somewhere around 5-6wks pg! But that same symptom appeared both times and both times led to me feeling fairly confident that I could be pregnant.

Finally managed to see the dr, my could was pretty much out so they have taken it out, had a neg test but since I'm still not due for a week she said that's not a surprise but now I have to do the waiting game...
Still feeling sick and my sense of smell has improved vastly but only of things that make me feel ill
Hopefully I'll know for sure by the end if next week!

Hmmm my coil was pretty much out not sure what a could is!

VaselineOnToast · 09/04/2014 15:38

I had a very strong inkling about a week or so before my period was due, since I got a stinging sensation after having sex (due to the semen... sorry... TMI??). The only other time I'd felt that was when I was on the progestogen-only pill, so I wondered if my progesterone levels had increased...

Cuppateaandabiscuit · 09/04/2014 15:41

I got a very faint positive 9dpo. Unfortunately I went on to mc. But I felt nauseous and my boobs hurt so I knew something was up.
