DH and I are trying. This is our first month. I was wondering what kind of signs or symptoms everyone had before they got a positive pregnancy test.
I think I just ovulated a few day ago so I know it's a bit early.
Hope everyone is having a great day, and congrats to all you mommas!
Re: Did you know you were pregnant before a test was positive?
Absolutely not. Either time.
It was the first time with DS that I didn't even suspect a pregnancy. And then again, for the first time since DS, it was the first time I didn't even suspect a pregnancy.
All I really had was exhaustion, some wicked cramps, and a hunch. I took a hpt the day before AF was due, and it was positive! I'm 6 weeks now, and I've added nauseau to the mix. Good luck to you!

Not to burst your bubble, but implantation occurs 7-10 days after ovulation. Is it possible you ovulated two days late and were feeling ovulation pain? I always know when I'm ovulating because I get twinges of pain on one side or the other. This time we had sex on what was supposed to be two days before I ovulated, I got twinges on my right side two days later (exactly when I expected them), and ended up with a BFP at 12 DPO.
With DD: For the first time ever, I got cramping at 7dpo instead of only CDs1-3 (and I had a 16 day LP, so the cramps were over a week early), so I was really hoping, but didn't know for sure.
With my m/c: Again, I got cramping at 7dpo, so I suspected, and at 11dpo got a BFP.
With this pregnancy: Once again, cramping at 7dpo, so I suspected again (but thought it also might be phantom symptoms brought on by wishful thinking) and got a BFP at 9dpo.
So I never just had a magical feeling that I was pregnant. For me, each time it was presumably implantation cramping at a time in my cycle when I otherwise have never cramped.
BFP1: DD1 born April 2011 at 34w1d via unplanned c/s due to HELLP, DVT 1 week PP
BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence
TMI WARNING!!
Oh I know, I'm just saying according to my charting, my discharge, etc I was ovulating on 6/14. On 6/16 I was having pretty good cramping. AF started 6/2 and lasts 6 days, so I couldn't have ovulated on 6/7. We didn't have sex again for another week (hubby was traveling). Just saying how my body reacted was out of the norm.
K first, your baby is ansanely cute, and secondly I totally knew on a hunch as well. Something was just different. Hard to describe. Although sore boobs came pretty early on before my bfp.

Just because something isn't happening for you right now doesn't mean it will never happen.
IUI #1 - BFN IUI #2 - BFN
IVF - Starting injects May 25 IVF #1 - BFP!
I honestly had no idea all 3 times.
With DS, I got pregnant on the NuvaRing. AF didn't show up when she was supposed to, so I POAS to make sure. Total surprise BFP.
With my M/C, we took a little break. I was charting, but we weren't trying like we had been the 5 cycles before that. AF didn't show up on 13dpo like normal so I tested. BFN. She still didn't show up for another week and I thought for sure I got my O date wrong or something, which was why I was having this extremely long LP. I kept testing and I didn't get a BFP until 20dpo, which is still weird to me.
This time, I never got AF post-miscarriage. My OB said it could take up to 2 months after, so I just randomly tested after about 5 weeks....and there it was...BFP! We weren't even thinking about trying again for a couple more cycles.
Apparently I can only get pregnant when I have no idea what's going on with my body. While we TTC #2, there were definitely cycles where I was convinced I was KU and obviously wasn't...so you never know. Unfortunately, you just have to wait and see.

I had no idea either time. This time around, I didn't think I was b/c i had tested 3 days already and was very negative. But I had one digi left which I was saving and just decided, why not? I was shocked.
Looking back, I had some cramps and one afternoon where I was tired, but I thought it was AF.

Yes. Although my first test I took was negative and I was upset and convinced myself there was no way this "feeling" was right and it was all in my head. I waited on more week and got the BFP! I just knew, but I did second guess myself plenty. GL!!
Before I got a positive pregnancy test I started having crazy vivid dreams! I even had one where i was pregnant! Though I didn't think much of it at the time. Also, I had a very runny nose/felt very congested! I thought I had a cold and was taking cold medicine!! (which I felt really scared about after finding out i was expecting)
What really set me off was going to the movies with my bf to see "Water for Elephants". I had read the book before and still sobbed through the entire movie. We went straight to the drugstore and bought a test after leaving the theater! lol
I was always thinking I was pregnant, almost obsessively... i read way too much into every little thing- heartburn, indigestion, gas, light period, heavy period (did I miscarry?), sore back, cramps....anything and everything. So, I was always taking tests, which were negative. I'd feel better that month, and then start it all over when my period ended. The one that was positive shocked me because I was taking it to prove to myself that I wasn't pregnant. Now i'm 10 weeks and strangely, much more at ease than I was before!
I had no idea! I chart my BBT and I had a temp drop the morning I got my BFP at 10 DPO, so I wasn't even going to test. I ended up testing with SMU and was shocked when I saw the 2nd line.
This was the last cycle I expected to got a BFP on as I got a + OPK at 7 DPO with no temp shift, then another + OPK on CD 15 and ended up O'ing on CD 16. Plus DH and I were in a huge fight that whole week and were barely speaking to each other much less trying to have sex. I decided to be the bigger person and apologize when I got my second + OPK lol - we managed to hit O and O+1. My only symptoms were back ache and mild cramping which are typical PMS symptoms for me.
BFP #2: 11-7-14, CP (BFN: 11-13-14)
BFP #3: 3/24/15 EDD: 12/5/15
I was surprised!
I didn't suspect anything because DH and I we trying for 3 months with no success. I was so stressed because I was in a wedding I really did not feel comfortable being in. When I got home from the wedding (saturday wedding) the following Monday I was sitting home doing homework and I realised, "hmmm haven't seen AF" So I called DH and asked what I should do. The night before I had been craving SPICY FIRE HOT buffalo wings and DH made them, and I got through 1 1/2 and felt nauseous. I figured it was because of all the FUN I had the day before at the wedding... Any who, Monday morning I WANTED, no NEEDED those hot wings... I threw them into the oven and tried burning them a little, just in case it was because of the meat that got me feeling a little sick... Again I only got through ONE this time and felt like I was going to throw up. Got a test out and waited for DH to get home to take it. Needless to say, BFP...
I just hope I'm a bit more coherent about what's going on this time around
