What symptoms did you experience before testing positive?
I had slight cramping that reminded me of BH in my last pregnancy when I sneezed. Also, slightly nauseous and water tasted different. 

 

What gave you that "I know I'm pregnant" feeling?
I tested 4 days before my missed period. I felt like we had great timing this last cycle. 

 

How long did you TTC before testing positive?
Since August 2012. So, 2 months/cycles total.

We were only truly trying this past cycle, so I definitely didn't expect to get pregnant so quickly. I had been charting for about 3-4 months so I knew roughly when I would ovulate and how long each cycle was (34-35 days). I knew when I ovulated, and didn't think much about it until about 6-7 days later when I felt some cramping.

Since I almost never experience cramps, even during my period, I felt like that could possibly be a sign of implantation. I continued to get cramps in the evening for a few days (and still do) and also experienced extreme fatigue a couple of days, was pretty gassy lol, and had sore nipples. I just felt different, but of course wondered if it was "all in my head." My husband was totally convinced I wasn't pregnant, because we just expected it to take a lot longer.

By the time I got my BFP at 10 dpo, I was starting to notice an increased sense of smell and sore breasts. I had quite a few symptoms, but I know there's a lot of women who don't have many symptoms at all and still get their BFP. :) It's different for everyone. And everyone has a different "normal."

What symptoms did you experience before testing positive? My lower back ached and my period was late. 

What gave you that "I know I'm pregnant" feeling?  I didn't feel quite 'right'.  I had an aversion to alcohol, didn't want to drink at all..and the sore back (I thought I overdid it at yoga).  But nothing tipped me off until the missed period.

How long did you TTC before testing positive?  2 cycles

What symptoms did you experience before testing positive? Not saying all of these were real symptoms, but I wrote them down...Round Ligament Pain by my hip bones, itchy eyes (maybe just my contacts), emotional (but it was hurricane Sandy and I live in Brooklyn), veiny breasts, 24 hour flu on 10dpo.   BFP 12dpo.   Again I have no idea if all of those were pregnancy symptoms or just coincidental.

What gave you that "I know I'm pregnant" feeling?  Nothing really.    I guess the RLP was very different than the previous month, so I thought just maybe... but I honestly had fewer overall symptoms than my month with BFN.

 How long did you TTC before testing positive? 2 cycles/2 months

1. Mostly sore boobs. Then, I missed my period by about 2 weeks and that's when I decided to test.

2. Yah, I still don't have that feeling, even though I've had the pregnancy confirmed by hormone and u/s! Other than feeling off and bloated, and losing my appetite, and feeling UGH some days..there is no "I am pregnant" feeling. I don't even know what you mean by that. Like an intuition? No. Some days, I still feel like my regular self. Other days, I feel like crap.

3. A year.

What symptoms did you experience before testing positive? Sore and achey breasts, swollen fingers, lack of appetite, mood swings and that was about it.

What gave you that "I know I'm pregnant" feeling? 2 days before my missed menstrual cycle I was laying in bed, tried to take my wedding ring off my finger, my fingers shrink in the winter from the cold, so was surprised when it was stuck b/c my fingers were so swollen. I laid there a while and thought to myself, oh no..... tested the next day and it was positive within 30 seconds literally, even before a missed period.

 How long did you TTC before testing positive? We were not TTC, we must have had some baby dust on our wedding night because we were doing anything but trying, we tried for a year about 2 years ago and never got results, we've been without b.c. for 3 years and never had any luck then poof, we get married and made a baby. I got my period the day after our wedding, none of my timeline matches up so it will be nice to hear a Doc say how far we are.

What symptoms did you experience before testing positive?

None.

What gave you that "I know I'm pregnant" feeling?

The positive test.

How long did you TTC before testing positive?

5 cycles.

Fun facts: Pregnancy symptoms are cause by hcg. Pregnancy tests detect scant amounts of hcg. If you're experiencing symptoms, there's plenty of hcg in your system to turn a test positive. If the test is negative, the symptoms are either in your head or PMS symptoms.

The only difference I noticed between normal PMS and thinking something was different (besides being late) was increased white discharge. I never really got an "I know I'm pregnant" feeling and had two take two tests before I believed it.

What symptoms did you experience before testing positive? I had cramps 2 days before expected arrival, which is very abnormal for me. 

What gave you that "I know I'm pregnant" feeling? None. Even with those cramp, I didn't realize until after testing positive. So many "symptoms" can be PSM anyway. 

 How long did you TTC before testing positive?  With DD, 10 cycles. With this baby, two losses and 1 cycle after the 2nd loss.

What symptoms did you experience before testing positive?

-Mild cramping/"flutters" (hard to explain), enlarged breasts, super fatigue, emotional/mood swings, and missed period. 

What gave you that "I know I'm pregnant" feeling?

-All the combined symptoms and convictions told me for sure I was, but I took a test too early I guess and it was negative, so I dropped the whole idea up until the missed period and was happily surprised.

-This was our very first try.
