i know that sounds silly but ive heard women say they knew and some said cramping the next 24 hrs not implantation.
Some people "know" but really they're just smug and fertile. I have cramping after ovulation from time to time. Unless they have a time machine or magical ute goggles that can see the sperm and egg meet, they didn't know right after they had sex.

I "knew" I was pregnant several times while TTC, had symptoms and all...but I wasn't. The 2 cycles where I actually was pregnant I had no clue and waited until after my missed period to test because I was so sure AF was about to arrive.

I started having horrible cramps at 7 dpo and bloating like I'd never felt before. I didn't get my bfp until 9 dpo and honestly, I thought I was just getting AF early. Did I feel fertilization? No way. It was probably implantation cramps.
I didn't know either time. We weren't TTC and when symptoms came, I thought it was PMS. If there was any cramping, I would have assumed it was period cramps. The first time, implantation cramping was painful as hell. It would wake me up in the middle of the night, and I would down Pepto and Tylenol, thinking it was the worst period cramps in history. This time, I had nothing.
ETA: My mom is one of those smug fertile people that claims she "just knew." When I had said, "I'm pregnant!" I was really just mocking her to my EXH, since we had just been told about her ute goggles paired with psychic abilities that day.
Re: knowing feeling?
Holy crap, me too! I thought I was special.

Cramping was almost positively related to ovulation (i.e. release of the egg) or psychosomatic. There is nothing to "feel" during fertilization.

You mean to tell me there aren't any nerves that connect my eggs to my PNS?! Sad face.

Wait wait wait... Do people really say that? Like they actually mean it? Because I always say it as a joke...

No.
I did have a hunch a few days before my BFP though.

Anyone who says she just "knew" after she had sex & believes she is pregnant 24 hours later is delusional. Biology just does not work that way, sorry.
Also, to answer your question: with DD I was using birth control & had no idea she was there until 12 weeks gestation.
