Did you "know" you were pregnant before BFP and what tipped you off?

Yes, with my IVF (my youngest) I just knew. Tested at 9 days after ovulation.
With my first, my dog ate my underwear before I even missed my period. I took a test, and it was the first positive in over 2 years of trying.

I cried seeing some children dancing at a street festival because I wanted one so badly. I was watching a food show and a commercial about hamburgers and the word "unctuous" made me retch a little. I didn't take much note of these things at first.

A week or so later, I ordered Chinese and couldn't eat the meat. I just wanted vegetables and orange juice. The next afternoon someone was making coffee with a Keurig and it smelled absolutely vile. I got a pregnancy test from CVS, and I pretty much knew what the result was going to be. Was about 10 weeks.

In retrospect, I really, really, really wanted to DTD the week I assume I got pregnant. I believe I actually begged. LOL

With my first I had intense menstral type cramps, like it was going to come any minute, but my period didn't show. With my 2nd I almost fainted after working out.

Nope. Both times, I thought I was definitely NOT pregnant this time, whereas I had been "sure" I was pregnant many other months when I wasn't. This time, my feeling that I was pretty sure I wasn't pregnant did make me question whether maybe I was, though.

I had spotting for five days before my period was due, with mild cramping like it would start but then it didn't. And I started in with the fatigue almost six days before I tested positive, (which was three days before my period was due – I have long cycles). I thought the exhaustion was due to an extremely busy schedule for an intense six days, but it was magnified by the early pregnancy. The morning I took the test, I had a morning-dream about taking one and it was positive. Lo and behold, it was. Now 12 weeks and counting!

Menstrual-like cramps between ovulation and date I should have gotten my period. A few days before I took the test I started having minor but noticeable diarrhea-type symptoms. I had a feeling this was it, and it was.

My first: coffee (which I adore) repulsed me, everything smelled/tasted way too intense to be normal, I was absolutely exhausted every day around 2 pm and could barely stay awake at my desk.

Second: no idea til I took the test. Then noticed I felt sort of vaguely nauseated and off.

nope. no clue. even after BFP had no sense that somethign was different. now, at 27 weeks, i feel like i can understand how some people end up on i didn't know i was pregnant.

yes, teh second time due to discharge (sorry TMI) but it was the same discharge I had with the first. I had a miscarrage a few months earlier so it was fresh on my mind, had it with that baby too. Sorry I know that is gross!

First time: weird, metallic taste in my mouth.

Second time: felt nauseous when a good friend announced her pregnancy. I thought it was just sympathy nausea, but guess not!

I could smell the neighbor across the street smoking a cigarette in his stoop from the inside of my house

Yes, but not until my 3rd, 4th and 5th. The first two I was oblivious until I looked back but I learned from them what to look for! Most obvious symptom: crying over nothing, or close to nothing! Also, having very weird dreams and being really hungry!

With both pregnancies, everything smelled like fish.

With my second pregnancy, I wasn't even trying to get pregnant I was in the kitchen with DH and my step-daughter and I mentioned the lettuce smelled like fish and they both looked at each other and then at me. We'd been traveling so I went to my date book and realized I was late.

Yes. For the first I had a dream and the dogs were extra protective and attentive. For the second, I was so clumsy.

Yes, I had very sore breasts. And some implantation bleeding as well.

But mostly it was the sore breasts.
