How did u guys know..what were your symptoms????

hey guys just wondering what were your symptoms prior to finding out u were preggers..aside from missing a period...????? I am ttc and i just have been feeling "weird" the past week..i am getting headaches, lower abs crampy pains like twinges, very bloated..and keep getting this discharge on and off ..last week it was like tan/brown orangy color then yesterday it was milky white??? i am suppose to be expecting my period this thurs coming up... I tested sat morn and it was BFN...should i test again later in the week??? thanks everyone!!

More discharge after ovulation - which should 'technically' be a dry time of the month - could be a good sign.  If you don't normally have any crampy feeling or bloating, they could be also.  It would be a little early to feel a lot of symptoms, but not impossible.  I'd wait and test again if you're not due for AF until Thursday.  Check on Thursday, and if she doesn't show up and you still get a BFN...give it another day or two and test again.

Good luck.  Hope you get your BFP!

I took an ovulation predictor kit test on July 19th and got a positive.   About 6-7 days after that, my first symptom was very sore boobs.   Then, I noticed my body temp was a degree or two warmer than normal (my forehead felt warmer to the touch), my skin had a "glow" to it and wasn't broken out like normal, and I was wayyyy emotional (crying over stupid things, yelling at my kids more than normal, lol).   My boobs don't normally get sore till like a day or two before my period came, so I knew something was up.   I waited till 12 dpo to test (so 6 days after I started getting symptoms...and man it was hard to wait to test!!) and it came up positive!  So I pretty much knew I was pg before I took the test, the test just confirmed it.  My other two kids took forever to conceive when I was heavier (the first took 2 yrs and the 2nd took 14 months and clomid), so this was a shock to get pg the first time.   I know it's the weight loss that helped me get pg so soon, I love my RNY!

It's best to wait at least a day before your period is due to test, just so you don't get disappointed by a BFN.   I used the dollar tree tests the day before my period was due and they came up positive and then I had hubby go get a First Response the next day (when af was due) and it came up positive again.   I usually would start spotting a day or two before af is due too and that didn't happen, so there was another sign I was pg too.  GL to you!!

I also used OPK this go around after 3 months of BFN's and can tell you the exact day I conceived!

First *obvious* sign was sore boobs then, lots of clear, slippery, wet discharge and a not so obvious sign (for me) is that my nails grew LONG and FAST. 

I really wouldn't test until after I missed my period ..

Good Luck!

I swear I was nauseous from teh day of conception! My boobs weren't sore but more tingly. My skin was breaking out terribly and I still had the slippery CM instead of being dry. I pretty much knew this time from the moment of conception lol Oh my nails also grew like crazy!

Good luck!

I am sorry I am not much help as I did not have noticeable feelings....I just knew my period had come and gone....I was pretty sure it was the last day of my ovulation period that Nathan was conceived too so I did not know if it was a go or no go...I waited 2 weeks after period was missed to test...I guess I was just so nervous.....but it was a BFP by two home tests, then bloodwork that same day....lol

Good Luck and I hope you get the BFP you are looking for!

I didnt know until I received my BFP the day that my period was supposed to come. A few days prior I noticed that I was in hibernation mode and that I was much warmer to touch. My period usually comes like clockwork. I decided to take an EPT when I got in from work and got my BFP. I was in shock (first pregnancy) Then it seemed as if everything was full steam ahead. I started getting fatigued (still this way) the all day nausuea kicked in (from weeks 5 to 7) Still have it now but not as bad.

The first time I had the same crampy bloated feeling, sore boobs, cravings, food adversions, morning sickness. All before I got my BFP on blood work. Yeah, I know it was crazy early to have that many and some of them but it's a family trait.  This time around (thinking I am again) I have the sore boobs, food cravings (as in the only thing I want to eat), BAD adversion to seafood (was at a party today and smelled fish and was ready to hurl. Not normal for me.) Not too much nausia this time around. But when I get it OH BOY!

My first was a VERY tired feeling. I had hell sore boobs too. I did feel bloated to beat the band as well. Discharge, I dont remember. I know I had a lot later on though. But you can test a little too early and get a neg. I would test again in a week. The level those test detect will increase a lot if you are within days.
 Best of luck to you. And remember, pregnancy for everyone is different. You may feel like **** in a matter of days or feel nothing really.
 Keep us posted. Good luck.

I just had a feeling, and was joking about it for a few days with DH (we where not trying at all, so it was more of a nervous kidding then a real joke LOL), then I wanted a Whopper from BK so bad that it literally made me cry and I normally HATE food from BK, and then the very next day I called DH in tears because I had broken down and gotten another one from the drive thru for lunch and was again near tears again at dinner time because I wanted another one, and a bag of fruit flavored Tootsie Rolls to go with it.

Shortly after I got the news at a doctors appointment and it all made perfect sense LOL
