How early did you know you were pregnant?

yourmysunshine · August 2011

Whether you knew for sure or not, when do you think you realized you were pregnant or when did you start to physically feel that you were pregnant w/#2?

BFab11 · August 2011

Around 4 weeks or so, same as with #1. I didn't feel symptoms per se, but I was super bloated, and was like, "hmmm, I'm either about to start my period or pregnant." Since we were moving in 3 days, I POAS to check, so I wouldn't be over-lifting, and it was positive!

*ETA*

when I tested I was on day 41 of my cycle, but I had only had the one cycle since having C (which is why I was only 4 weeks along and not 6).

I charted and got a +HPT at 10dpo. I never really "felt" pregnant though in the beginning. If it weren't for charting, I could have been one of those women on I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant.

10 DPO.

I didn't know I was pregnant, but I had been using OPKs and TTC, so I was planning on testing starting at 10 DPO.

With DD, I didn't know until 6/7 weeks or so, but she wasn't planned.

We were trying, so I test early. Got my BFPs with all my two kids and this pregnancy at 10 DPO.

I just had a "this is it" feeling with DD.

I felt REALLLLLLY nauseous with DS.

I felt twinges, not cramps, but sharper weird twinges with this one.

yourmysunshine · August 2011

With L, we were actively TTC but we didn't stress about it. I didn't do OPK or obsessively POAS. We had the mind set of just enjoying the process...hehe anyway, this time I am so ready for another and know how wonderful it is to be a mom that I am doing OPK's and bought several $1 pregnancy tests at the dollar tree. Lol... I POAS at least once a week.

soo.. I think just anxiously wanting this to happen quickly keeps making me think that I feel things (bloated, crampy, tired, etc...). Which I know is ridiculous bc the tests are negative and I just ovulated recently...

Oh good grief, I sound nuts! lol

I didn't get my BFP until I was five days late. Good luck!

greengirl0909 · August 2011

I was charting and we used OPK, so I was very aware. I got my BFP at 10DPO, but I was sorta "expecting" it, based upon the cramping I was having. Now that it's my third go 'round (miscarriage in April) I really feel a difference between uterus stretching/getting ready for baby cramping and getting ready for period cramping. I was feeling the pregnant cramping from like 7 or 8 DPO, so I was optimistic about my test. Or, maybe I'm crazy and that was all in my head because I really wanted to be pregnant! Smile

I tested positive at 8dpo. Not sure when I started feeling pregnant... not until late in the 1st trimester. I am blessed with easy pregnancies and no morning sickness.

amos07 · August 2011

Found out at 3 weeks 5 days with both but I have 25 day cycles and tested the day after AF was supposed to show.

Chelle112 · August 2011

I was 10 dpo.

shopgirl78 · August 2011

With DD I didn't test until 4 days after AF was due. She was very unexpected. We went to my hometown the day before AF was due (on Xmas day); I brought all supplies with me and was prepared but she never came. I even thought she must be late and got $hitfaced that night. On Dec 26, I knew (starving and peeing a lot) but I couldn't/wouldn't test until I got home (Dec 28 ) and PREGNANT popped up right away.

With the boys, I got BFP at 12DPO each time. Although with DS2, I *knew* a week prior--lots of cramps and twinges set me off (and the fact we pulled the goalie). I had no symptoms with DS1 and in fact had to previous BFN (@ 9 and 10 dpo).

ANJ410 · August 2011

I got my positive BFP with both at 10dpo. With #1 I had pregnancy symptoms immediately. With #2 I didn't feel pregnant at all until I began to feel her moving around at 18 weeks...lol. It was a very easy pregnancy with none of the 1st trimester symptoms I had with DS.

fitmama11 · August 2011

With DD I found out at 4ish weeks; I was exactly 1 week late before I got a faint positive. With this one, I found out at 6w 3d. I was extremely late, my last period was 6/26 and I just got BFP on Friday which was a very dark line this time. I have no idea when I ovulated. I thought I was pregnant for almost 2 weeks now, I even went to the doc because I was feeling so crummy so she was going to check my thyroid. With DD I didn't feel pregnant before I knew I was but I had a very strong feeling I was.

PrincessFiona9 · August 2011

I'm not on LO2 yet, but with DD I found out 1 day before I was expecting my period. I wasn't TTC, though, so I didn't really have any reason to test so early (10dpo). I tested because I had been having abdominal pains, and I was concerned that there was a chance I was having an ectopic pregnancy. Once I got the BFP I called my OBGYN and they got me in for an u/s. Turns out I just had an ovarian cyst, which was causing my pain. If it wasn't for that, I probably wouldn't have known till maybe a week later that I was expecting.

Army~Wife · August 2011

With DD1 I found out at 4 wks 3 days. With DD2 I didn't feel it until I was already 2 months along. I was nursing DD1 & on the mini pill. obviously I was not trying. My breasts were sore & I felt exhausted. Really thought it was all from bfing. Then all of a sudden, the mere thought of a brownie made me severely nauseous. I knew immediately! Still can't eat that particular kind of brownie.....

g8trkim · August 2011

I started getting bad headaches like a week after we conceived. I also felt really emotional. I didn't think I was pregnant so I figured it was stress or pms or something.I found out I was pregnant until the day I missed my period.

karencz · August 2011

I'm not pg yet with #2, but with DD I tested at 12 dpo and it was BFN and then it was BFP at 14 dpo. I was charting and OPKs.

delg23 · August 2011

6 weeks and a day or two. I threw up. Took a test. It was positive.

9302006 · August 2011

At 5 weeks I started the gagging and feeling sick in the morning and not quite right all day.

Kingston54 · August 2011

Conceived April 7, 2009, took pregnancy test and found out April 23, 2009. So, less than 3 weeks...

Polofsky · August 2011

6 days before I missed my period. We had been trying for 6 months, I just "knew"...bought one of the early predictor tests and that beautiful 2nd pink line finally showed up

Cilley · August 2011

2 days after we had intercourse. I was monitoring my cycles with Clear Blue monitor. Can't remember when I started feeling pregnant, though.

tusshie2004 · August 2011

My boobs started to hurt, I was tired, and I kept having horrible headaches. I didn't find out that I was pregnant tell around 6 or 7 weeks. I had mild spotting my first trimester right around my period so I didn't even think that I was. I took a test just to be safe and it was positive. =D

92405bride · August 2011

Same as with #1, I didn't have any inkling until I took a test on the day my period was due, so around 4 weeks pregnant. Right after that, I did notice that I had gotten up to pee at night for a few nights, and with #1 I had sore boobs but that was it until around 6 weeks pregnant when morning sickness set in.

BrittKav · August 2011

I was charting and ovulated earlier than usual, and we had had sex just a couple days before so I knew it was possible. I'm a POAS-aholic so I tested at 8DPO- BFP.
