How soon did you know you were pregnant?

When did you experience early symptoms? What were they? It's only been a week since we did the deed. I've been having cramps and feeling bloated. Curious how soon you knew?

'Bout 5 days after I realized my period was late and my boobs were a little sore. Took a test that night, and then another one.

I don't recall if I had cramps or bloating but I would have chalked those up to PMS. Sore boobs are my only reliable sign, as I don't get them before or during my period.

1 week after ovulation I gagged when brushing my teeth when I was pregnant with ds.

Cramps and bloating are PMS as well as early pregnancy symptoms.

I felt nauseous the day before my period was due with my first. Took a test the next day.

I had implantation bleeding with my second--when what I thought was my period was way too light and stopped, I tested.

Cramps and bloat alone were never tell tale signs.

Took a test three days before my period was due. Saw only one line. Cried. Husband consoled me. Looked back at the test again in desperation after I pulled myself together and asked DH if I was imagining the world's faintest second line. We went out of town for a family event and I took another test two days later when we got home and it was without a doubt positive. No symptoms until about 6 weeks along. Bloating was the first and most noticeable symptom. I didn't even know what bloating truely was until my first trimester of pregnancy.

8 days before missed period I had spotting and exhaustion. Tested preg with a 5 day before missed period test. It was faint so I took a bunch more. Yup. I will say, with my first I had no clue till missing period. It was with my second that symptoms came on crazy fast.

I began feeling nauseated at about 4-5 days after conception with each of my three pregnancies. I didn't have cramps or bloating though.

3dpo. I was bloated and when I laid on my back I felt like a fullness in my pelvis.

The first time: 7/8dpo, I woke up with weird nausea that stayed around the whole rest of the week...and then it ended up a chemical pregnancy several days after I got a positive test. The next time, I had zero symptoms and was positive I wasn't pregnant...took a test at 16dpo just to put my mind to rest and, lo and behold, it was positive. That one stuck (and symptoms kicked in several weeks later)

I just had a feeling. I was sitting at my college graduation ceremony and it was like a little bolt of electricity ran through my womb. Didn't have a positive test for a week and a half, but I knew.

About a week or so after missing my period. No other early symptoms but missed period for both pregnancies.

Almost right away, literally from maybe day 2. My boobs just got weirdly sensitive, and I knew.

We were actively trying so I would test every month about 5 days before my period was due using the cheap bulk pregnancy tests from Amazon. I got a faint positive about 4 days before my missed period. Symptoms started shortly thereafter - nausea and sore boobs.

With my first two pregnancies, I had a sharp cramping pain that felt like ovulation but lasted a lot longer and was after ovulation. I had a positive test before my period was due both times. Other than that, no symptoms until 6 weeks or so.

With my third pregnancy, I found out after I was irrationally angry at the world for more than two weeks. I had implantation bleeding that was the equivalent of a period, so I didn't think about pregnancy. I was around 6 weeks when I found out.
