Our dog would not stop sniffing me all night so I googled it and found out that they can smell the hormones. When I woke up the next morning my boobs felt really heavy so I tested and BFP!!!
This is kind of gross and weird, but with the first pregnancy, the one I m/c, I woke up and took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I was really depressed, especially since I also had two awful cold sores when I woke up, so I went back to bed (it was a Saturday). My husband went out and got me a better test, and when I woke up I tested again and it was positive. I later read that some women tend to get a lot more cold sores when pregnant. Random and unpleasant.
With my daughter, I was dead tired and had implantation spotting. I came home and took a nap, and could only wake up enough to move from the couch to the bed. Normally I'm totally wired if I fall asleep after work so I knew something was up. I tested the next day and got a bfp.
The day I was expecting my period it didn't come. Took a pg test and was postive. Yawn. The spin is that the day I took the test was the day DH and I took off for three weeks in Europe. Happy, but three days into it was hit with the ms. The cities I enjoyed the most directly correlate to my "good days".
Btw, this time not so lucky (as far as knowing): Aunt Flow comes whenever she feels like it these days and I've thought I was pg like three times. Seven tests later, not so much. Sigh. Still trying
First, my dog was on my ass all. Day. Long. For about a week before I told DH I was worried we had a cancer-sniffing dog. Then, I started gagging every morning on my toothbrush. Then the unbelievable exhaustion set in. We're trying again, and I keep reminding myself that every pregnancy is different so I shouldn't look for the same signs, you know? But I still side-eye a little bit when I harf brushing my teeth or the pup decides to spend a day or two sewn to my leg.
I was really tired that week, but it was finals week and I had a bad cold, so that didn't jump out at me. At 13dpo I lost my appetite halfway through lunch and just threw the rest away. That was unusual. I really didn't think I was pregnant though; I tested at 14dpo just so I would know what cold meds I could take and whaddyaknow, that second pink line popped up immediately!
The small of my back was killing me. I thought I was coming on my cycle. I told my friend my cycle was like a week or 2 late and she told me to take a test. I didn't react to the late cycle because I'd been on the pill/patch for 10 years and had just stopped. I knew my baby would have to adjust. Took the test next morning and almost choked on my toothbrush to see {pregnant} in the little window.

I get a weird sensation in my lower abdomen. It really sounds insane but... it's true. It's like a weird pulling sensation or something.
ETA: That was for this time around since I was familiar with that feeling. The first time, it was EXTREME bitchiness.

Really? Hmmm...b/c I felt that same sensation yesterday. We're currently TTC and I think I *O* last Friday. Do you remember how many DPO you felt that????
I didn't know I was pg until I POAS, but looking back some signs were: I was drunk off of 1 glass of wine, I was thristy all.of.the.time and I was overly emotional and bloated - which I attributed to pms.
I just had typical AF symptoms. Cramps and achy boobs. I tested after being 2 days late and got my BFP. The following week was when the rest of my symptoms showed up.
Everything stunk! My wonder nose was working in full force. I tested a couple of days later because I was waiting for my period to start my clomid and then found out I was pregnant.
I was two days late and while I was sitting at my desk at work I got this huge wave of dizziness/nausea. I went immediately after work to buy a HPT and there it was!

I had extremely erect nipples constantly. I was in Mexico and wearing teeny tiny bikinis (I was super skinny then). I felt a little porn starrish but DH loved it. Sorry if that was TMI for some of you ; ) The morning after we got home I poas and BFP!! It was so awesome because we had been trying for 2 years!

#2 Couldn't tell until I POAS.

I have very small boobs. One night, I woke up after sleeping on my stomach & my boobs felt like there were rocks in them. They were heavier to me.
Nausea. I hadn't even gotten a bfp yet. I probably wasn't more than 9 days DPO.
I took a bite of an apple and felt like I was going to puke everywhere.

Day Three
I was VERY irritable, a total monster towards my husband.
My appetite spiked, I would go from feeling fine to completely starving within a matter of minutes it seemed.
I was thirstier than normal, which = more peeing.
All of this happened before my BFP
with DD- no symptoms just missed period
this pg- my supply dropped (still no AF) and I ate cereal with a pickle at 6:30 AM.
