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

[Anonymous]

Putting science aside, did you intuit your pregnancy? Was something different about your body even before you tested?

I had no idea and was incredibly surprised to see the positive HPT. For what it's worth, I had incredibly sore and tender breasts which I now know is a sign but didn't at the time.

For my first, yes. I used to get certain PMS symptoms like clockwork and I didn't get them, in fact felt great. So i was expecting the positive.

For my second, we TTCd for longer and my symptoms weren't as clear. I didn't trust anything

My period was late but the tests were negative. But I knew because I'm usually so regular... and after a few days, the tests turned positive.

I dreamt about beautiful open waters and adorable twins before I was late.

I was very nauseated within four days of conception, for each of my three pregnancies. My breasts grew noticeably and were sore, also before I could've taken a pregnancy test.

When what I thought was my period stopped the next day and I realized it could be implementation bleeding. I tested almost immediately but in that moment I pretty much knew.

We had been trying for awhile so I had actually been researching options thinking that cycle hasn't worked when I went to the bathroom. That was one heck of a good day!

I did not. In retrospect, there were some signs, as early as a few days after conception. I was exhausted and my breasts were REALLY sore, but I'd just had two mammograms, so I attributed it to that.

For my first yes, but it was because I was charting and my temp was still elevated.

For this one, no, my temp had leveled and wasn't much higher than normal, so I was shocked when the test came up positive.

Yes, with all my pregnancies I felt the implantation. It's a mild, somewhat pre-period cramping that never escalates. It's hard to describe.

I cannot remember with my first....and I am in the 2ww again but was not expecting it to be this month, lol.

We literally did it once in the possible window and I would be shocked if I was (also just came off pill) but I have horrible cramps and am bloated with large boobs. Also was extremely exhausted this morning. Could just be adjusting to being off the pill but I have no idea.

I will find out next week.

For #1, I was INCREDIBLY thirsty... I fantasized about just filling up the tub and getting a straw. So I kinda suspected. With #2, I was just mildly thirsty, more than normal, so had strong suspicions.

[Anonymous]

With #1, I had implantation bleeding a couple of days before my period was supposed to start, so I strongly suspected pregnancy before testing.

With #2, I got a migraine and threw up on what I think was implantation day. I didn't necessarily connect those symptoms to pregnancy until after getting the positive, but we were TTC so I knew it could possibly be related.

I had this too from about 4dpo.

For my 2nd, I had a dream that I was pregnant with a daughter. Woke up and took a pregnancy test (4 days before I was expecting my period). 9 months later gave birth to my daughter.
