As the title really! Supposed to be a light hearted thread. When did you get your positive?
My best friend was 7 weeks before a HPT came up positive but she says she just knew she was pregnant!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

At about three weeks, period was always regular as clockwork so as soon as it didn't come I knew. Would rather I found out later as it was such a drag to get to the 12 week scan. Can hardly believe I'm 39 weeks now

Not long to go!
I found out at 3+5 with my DS and it took soooo long to get to the first scan. Pregnancy really is an age 😂
With my second which resulted in a loss I didn't get any positives until I was 6 weeks then lost at 9 weeks.

Just shows all pregnancies are different!

The day after my period was due. I'm never late and we were going away the next day so I needed to know.

I'm 38+3 now!

pomadas87 · 07/09/2017 00:17

3 days after AF was due. Thought I'd had it but then I was suddenly suspicious it was so light and short so I took a test!

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 07/09/2017 00:26

Found out at 7 weeks she wasn't exactly planned and I wrote it all off as a UTI. Decided to do a test at home so I could tell the doctor I definitely wasn't pregnant as I knew they'd ask, up pops a positive

Orangebird69 · 07/09/2017 00:26

6 days!

SerfTerf · 07/09/2017 00:32

I can't remember. Not for any of them. Is that quite bad?

I do remember that for the one that arrived 14months after another one, I never tested, just thought "here we go" after a while and booked myself in

I should remember more of the littleun's details though

DeadDoorpost · 07/09/2017 00:51

My dad knew before I did, and he could tell 3 days after we'd dtd. I found out for certain 2/3 weeks later but have never actually figured out how far along I was then. Am now 29 weeks though. It's still dragging.

SerfTerf · 07/09/2017 01:01

By looking at you, you mean? 😮

SheSaidHeSaid · 07/09/2017 07:08

Two days. We had been trying a little while but as months rolled past I didn't think it would ever happen and was pretty disheartened. I tested because we had drinks with friends planned that weekend and I wanted to rule it out so I could drink without guilt.... instead I got the best (kind of) surprise!

Sakura03 · 07/09/2017 08:25

We'd been trying for a while so I'd bought the clearblue monitor and on day 28 put a pregnancy stick in the machine and hey presto BFP (2 years after an early mc). I'm now 30 weeks pregnant.

Love hearing everyone's bfp stories!

DeadDoorpost · 07/09/2017 09:52

@SerfTerf Yeah, but then he's also had 6 kids so I guess he's been able to notice things easily. My nan is exactly the same. Had she seen me she'd have known instantly (we don't know why it's just a gift she has). Thankfully neither of them said anything and acted surprised when we told them at least.

A week or so past the date my period was due (technically 5+4 I think). I'd had so many negative tests that I was scared to take another test and be disappointed, so I kept putting it off!

Thecomfortador · 07/09/2017 10:16

About 2 days before haha. I was unbelievably sad because my references weren't good enough for a volunteer role I applied for and I felt like I'd never work again with crap references. So I did a pg test to cheer me up. Faintest of faint squinters came up and I went to bed happy haha. Sods law the following week I was offered a full time job (still awaiting references...). Nearly 8 weeks and squinter is now a dark line.

Expectingbsbunumber2 · 07/09/2017 10:21

I found out at 3-4 weeks.

IfeelFloopy · 07/09/2017 10:59

I found out at 11dpo. I had never tested early before (cos I'm too tight to pay out for tests haha) but saw 2 tests for £2.50 whilst I was out so bought on a whim.

To my surprise I had a clear positive result so I think I would have been 3+3.

MooChops89 · 07/09/2017 11:09

I was 3+3 (I'm 5 weeks today!) and it was the day before AF due, I'd developed a bit of an obsession with testing since ttc (and done a few since BFP too as I still can't quite believe it!). Had just got home from a night shift and was expecting a negative. Agree with others that first scan seems a million years away, I just want everything to be ok!

Sallywiththegoodhurrr · 07/09/2017 11:18

4 or 5 days before AF was due, same with my last pregnancy.

Lillygolightly · 07/09/2017 11:24

With my first DD was roughly 7 weeks when I found out. Had felt a bit sick that morning and then went to boots to get my meal deal sandwich and happened to walk past the preg tests and bought one on a whim. Didnt really think I'd be pregnant at all so didn't do the test right away. Needed a wee before leaving the office so peed on the stick and bam bfp!! I nearly fell over.

Second DD was TTC and I was sat on the sofa and felt what I was sure was implantation pains. Sure enough just days later very early bfp. Very long preg though with knowing so soon.

Currently pregnant with a surprise baby I had just started back weight training after a bit of time off. Decided to do no carb keto diet and thought that it was making me feel a bit crap. I then thought I had a tummy bug after weeks of feeling sick I gave in and tested just to rule it out. Bfp now almost 27 weeks.

WineAndTiramisu · 07/09/2017 16:33

3+4 here as well, quite strong positive as well! Now 7+6, times dragging somewhat!

How far past af date were you when you found out?

MamaOfTwos · 07/09/2017 16:35

I had no idea as my periods hadn't got back into a rhythm since having DD, this one will be called 'drunken anniversary sex' baby

SerfTerf · 07/09/2017 16:39

It's witchy genes dead

Ragwort · 07/09/2017 16:40

10 weeks, wasn't actively trying to get pregnant, never had regular periods and was approaching the age when a missed period was more likely to be the start of the menopause .
