Did anyone else 'just know' that they were Pregnant?

FTM, outline of my dates below

Last period started 4th June (cycle can be anywhere between 28-33)
Tested positive on 1st July on FRER (thought I'd be 3w+6 from working back dates)
Had private scan on 8th August, thought I was 9w+2 according to date of last period, but I must have ovulated late and I was only measured at 8w+4.

This means my first positive test happened when I was only 3w+1, does anyone else think that is super early to positive test? I was the day before my periods was due, but it seems so bizarre! I know everyone is different. I only tested the day before my period as for the whole week previous I was ill, felt so different, and I genuinely kept saying to my OH 'I think I'm pregnant...' - it was very strange feeling like I knew, but there's no chance it could have been symptoms that early?

Anyways, just wondering when you all got your first positive test? Just out of interest.

Jackreacherismyhero yes me, with DC2

I had incredibly irregular periods (as in less than 6 a year, sometimes 5 months without one) because of PCOS. I came off the pill in August 2017, assumed I was infertile and wouldn't conceive without medical treatment so didn't use any contraception, and my periods as wonky as always for 18 months.

I had a period that started on new years eve 2018 and nothing after that, which was not at all unusual for me. In April 2019 I started feeling very tired and had slightly sore nipples but no different to usual PMT symptoms. I took the fourth pregnancy test I had ever taken in my life, including two teenage pregnancy scares, and that was positive.

Baby is currently kicking away in my belly and I am due in December this year. I know my dates now and I must have ovulated 3 weeks before I did the test. I really, truly don't know how or why I knew to test then - pregnancy was completely unexpected, though very very welcome!

Waking this up.. anyone else felt this?

Didn't know I was pregnant, tested 6 days late. But was adamant that it was a boy and I was right

When TTC I had lots of "symptoms", but when I was actually pregnant I was on the verge of fainting at 3 weeks so my HCG must've been high - if high enough you can test positive early. In my case though, didn't test until 5 weeks. I had some very trippy emotional dreams, woke up and just knew, ordered tests and they came the next day.

@Jackreacherismyhero
I know this is from last yr but on my 2nd as soon as we finished I literally said to him u just got me pregnant and from that night I felt different I took a test about 6 days before my period was due and got a faint line i just knew I was

i knew with both of my pregnancies but had taken clomid with both. The first one (15 years ago) I just knew I was. We were walking our dogs 3 or 4 days before I was due to test and told my husband that I was sure I was pregnant. Went to the pharmacy on the way home, took it and it and 2 were negative but I still knew I was pregnant.

We then went to Costco to get a TV (it was really heavy compared to now), whilst there I bought a three pack of the new LCD ones. Husband was downstairs putting the TV together whilst I did the test, positive. Husband called me down to help with the TV and I had to lift this massive TV which he was all focused on. I kept saying "I'm pregnant, you know" and he kept telling me I wasn't - in the end the test proved I was.

2nd pregnancy 4 years later I just took the Clomid that I had left and knew I was pregnant but didn't take a test or tell anyone for a few weeks, I was just happy knowing something that no one else knew (and I wasn't keeping a secret because it wasn't confirmed).

Having tried to have babies for years and knowing that I wasn't pregnant maybe i was really attuned to the difference with my body? Who knows but I definitely knew both times

I knew very early on and tested positive at 9dpo. Also, the early measurements at the scan aren’t an exact science as I believe it’s just an average measurement of the embryo that suggests when you may have conceived. Mine was off a bit but I knew exactly when I conceived.

nope, I had no idea...
to be fair, it'd been about 10 years since I had regular periods (had been on various contraceptives, and only stopped the pill a month or so before ttc), so I had no idea what normal hormone cycles felt like, and attributed the sore boobs etc to PMS!

@Jackreacherismyhero yes I knew since conception!! Maybe we are just too sensitive to hormonal changes and nausea had begun very early like 6 dpo for me and I got my bfp on 10 dpo.
I am 5 weeks pregnant now 🙂

I knew pretty much straight away with both kids and tested positive at about 4/5 weeks on both x
