Did you KNOW?

barbbhoww · July 2010

Did you know? People say they just "knew" they were pregnant before it was confirmed.

Did you?

CutieBean79 · July 2010

Heck no - I had no idea. I had to rub my eyes to believe the second line was there. We were planning to try in Oct. and anticipated fertility issues so it was a pleasant surprise!

vflipo · July 2010

Nope. Okay, yes.

NavyGMWife · July 2010

No. Felt like AF was on the way. Was actually convinced she was.

magdalina.h · July 2010

With Aidan I had no clue. I told MH that we were out that cycle. With this one, yes I did. I felt the same way I did earlier on with Aidan when I was about 10dpo. I kept testing negative though until 15dpo.

Beccaboo0713 · July 2010

No.

I was charting and knew we had great timing and that I actually ovulated but I still thought that the cycle was a bust.

FutureMrsCaesar · July 2010

No, not at all. I wasn't even going to test but figured I would since it was Father's day. I got my BFP at like 9 or 10 dpo though so I don't think there's much to know at that point.

tmm140 · July 2010

I thought it was a joke--but then I snapped back with reality and realized it's not like that is a joke pregnancy test. I especially didn't know since DH had def. not been that active in the bedroom that month.

staycee · July 2010

are you kidding? We TTC'd forever last time - even took 5 IUI's with injectible drugs before it worked.

I never in a million years would have thought I was pg without trying.

anna2029 · July 2010

Nope, I knew for sure that I was getting AF. I have fertility problems and we had only tried for 4 months, so I tested as a joke. I was so happy and shocked that I didn't believe the BFP, I burst into tears too!

cherylanddoug · July 2010

I definitly suspected. When I tested I expected a positive. This is mainly due to the fact that I had a major indigestion attack about 2 nights before I should have gotten my period. I have never had indigestion like that which is what made me suspect.

TwistedFirestarter · July 2010

No. I thought AF was coming for sure.

ermimac · July 2010

Strangely, I think I did know. A couple days after I found out we had good timing I was super turned on by DH thinking that we had made a baby together.

LadyXaverian · July 2010

Definitely not. I was actually sure I was NOT pregnant. I POAS on a whim when I noticed a ridiculous amount of CM (I know, not a symptom, but different for me in the 2ww). I was absolutely floored when a faint line came up on the IC test. I was frantic running around my house trying to get myself together to go to Walgreens and buy FRERs and Digis lol!

ETA: Out of all 10 cycles, this cycle we had the worst timing of any cycle, and my spotting started at only 4 or 5dpo. (The spotting has since gone away.)

missfire · July 2010

Kind of, but it was impossible to unravel those feelings from the hope that we were pregnant and the pessimism that it couldn't be. Actually, about a week before my BFP, I was trying out hypnosis and at one point deep into it, the counselor told me to envision myself in the place she had been describing, and the image I saw was myself very pregnant. I just couldn't envision myself any other way. It definitely could have been just wishful thinking, but it was a really beautiful thing to see that day.

Mustang Sally · July 2010

Yep, I totally knew. I took 3 tests that were negative over the course of a week before the 4th came back positive.

My skin seems to break out IMMEDIATELY once that egg is fertilized. That's how I knew. Same thing all 3 times.

MG7 · July 2010

Nope! I swore I was out this month after a big temp drop. I had no idea at all with DS either and didn't actually find out until I was about 6 weeks along.

krayola99 · July 2010

No, I did not know. I had been so disappointed for so many cycles in the past, with phantom symptoms in almost every one, so I didn't want to get my hopes up again. Especially when it was the last medicated cycle before we were going to go on a medication break. I was getting ready to try not to cry again when the faint 2nd line started to come out. Thank God!

jess478 · July 2010

I didn't "know", but a co-worker did. She said I was pregnant within a week of when I probably ovulated. I waited until day 24 of my cycle and got a clear as day line. She always "knows" when someone is pregnant.

iris427 · July 2010

I knew with my first pregnancy. This time, I was shocked to see the line appear.

Me too

HisAngel721 · July 2010

I actually did! I always thought I'd be one of those women who didn't know until a good ways in, so I got iPeriod on my iphone and went to town tracking. The hubby and I took a "if it happens, it happens" approach to it and avoided what iPeriod said were my "fertile" days. Well, I spotted about a week before my period and thought maybe it was coming early. A few days later I told myself I was silly because not only had I not gotten my period but I was extremely regular for 4 months beforehand. Then, 3 days before my period I had light fluttery cramps and I waited for my normal "spotting" to begin. The next day I texted my sister and bestfriend to tell them that I was certain I was pregnant. The light fluttery cramps had continued and I'd never felt them before! My cramps were always hard and terrible. I test the next day (Father's Day) late at night and BFP!

6fsn · July 2010

My rational mind said no way because my period had been jacked up the month before. I did comment to DH the day before I tested "I'm either sick or pregnant." I didn't actually think I was pregnant though.

A&J06 · July 2010

I knew when I was three days late and puked each morning.

EmandChris08 · July 2010

I did. This was the first month EVER that DH weren't consistently using BC. I had been off the pill for a year, and we'd been using condoms. But we knew we were going to start TTC soon so I guess we just got kind of lazy about birth control... I actually was charting and I thought we were avoiding the most fertile time, but obviously not...

I think pretty much right after conception I had breast soreness and weird twinges in my abdomen. I always get sore boobs before AF but it felt different... more sore than usually. The twinges felt like cramps but they would come and go. The first few days I had those symptoms I thought AF was on its way, but after awhile when it didn't show, I had my suspicions.

I didn't test until 17 dpo but yeah, I totally knew it would be positive.

violetvirgo · July 2010

yes. with dd i was on the pill (yay statistics!) and once i started the placebo pills and didn't get AF, i knew. with this one we were charting to avoid and i'm extremely regular and a fertile myrtle. i knew, but waiting a week after AF was supposed to show before i tested.

This. I thought we were out because i didn't 'feel' anything!

SpartanGirl · July 2010

With the first 3 (DD and m/c's), but I did with the last 3. I've also successfully predicted the gender each time. My reputation is on the line to predict this one too. Wink

ccmmkk · July 2010

I didn't know.

Took 3 years with our son, so I wasn't expecting to get pregnant very easily. I was wrong, and am so glad I was!

FM's Mommy · July 2010

not this time. with my DS i did, but maybe i just didn't give myself enough time with this one. i wanted to test before my DH left the country and i got a BFP, but very early. it's been a few days and now i'm feeling very exhausted and HUNGRY!

skio · July 2010

Hell no. Biggest shock of my life. The only reason I took a test is because I was planning on being way drunk for the entire weekend at a family wedding.

DH, however, had a hunch. He's the one who convinced me I should test before the weekend.

bluebird360 · July 2010

No - I thought our timing was HORRIBLE. I was just waiting for AF so that we could try again. But then I never started my period...

BunnyintheYard · July 2010

No.

junebride060306 · July 2010

I had a feeling that I was or was going to be, just a few days after I ovulated. Even though we didn't time things perfectly something felt different early on. I had breast soreness, and was really tired. at 12dpo my test was negative and I always have luteal phase spotting and AF on 10dpo, but not this time at all. I held out from 12dpo to 16dpo before testing again and it was positive. but the whole time I just knew I was

azgrlbride · July 2010

We were in our 2nd month trying and I was hoping but definitely didn't know. I was really surprised when I got my BFP.

on_the_move · July 2010

With my first I totally did, but with this one I had no idea! It was so strange for me because normally I'm not like that at all. I also had really strong intuition early on that DS would be a boy.

krystldwn · July 2010

I told my husband I was pregnant before taking a test. I could tell because of my boobs. They were so swollen. Took the test to confirm it for him but I just knew already.

jessEDRN83 · July 2010

With DS I knew, and I figure if i wasn't on these websites psyching myself out, i would felt it with this one too, but i started psyching myself out thinking AF was on her way. BUT I think i knew

jazzyexpo · July 2010

::lurking::

I thought I was because something was just different, but had taken a test and it was negative. Now I know I took the test to early. I was pg.

LucyGoosey81 · July 2010

I did. And it's the craziest thing. I had no symptoms other than having complete baby brain. I was forgetting and doing the stupidest things. I stopped at the store 9DPO just on a hunch, knowing that even if I was pregnant I'd get a BFN at that point, but my line was as dark as it was with the 14DPO test I took with DS. I just had a feeling.

TiffaniLaine · July 2010

Yes, with both, which is why I test way early with both. I pretty much knew as soon as it happened I just had to wait long enough for it to show up on a test. We werent trying, not charting or anything. Just sex and oh honey we just made a baby. DH knew this time as well, the next morning he said "Oh ***, your pregnant again".
