Before I had LO I had been on BC for so long I couldn't tell what my body was up to, I couldn't even remember what a cramp felt like! Now I can tell when I O, but I don't know if I could tell if I were preg.

My situation is a little different since with #1 we did IVF so I was looking/expecting symptoms
With #2 I honestly thought I was just having a REAAALLLLYYYY long cycle - on day cd65 I finally tested and bam - bfp! Looking back I was like oh yeah, I had weird dreams and weird cravings! so for me the 2nd time around wasn't better

I had a feeling I was pregnant with my daughter, and first pregnancy. With DS#2, and my third pregnancy, I was so convinced I wasn't pregnant I had a glass (or two) of wine the night I took the pregnancy test. I was floored that I got a BFP. So I couldn't perceive pregnancy symptoms at all after the first (though my symptoms normally show up around 5 or 6 weeks pregnant).

I also have a slightly different experience.
With Chloe, I knew something was up because I felt so off. I had similar symptoms when I had my chemicals, but as a result my RE put me on progesterone supplements.. and those come with a set of similar side effects as pregnancy.
The first month I took progesterone I didn't experience any side effects and got my period a few days early. The second cycle on progesterone I had strong pregnancy symptoms but assumed it was a side effect of the medicine. I did get a + test that month!

Nope. I don't pay attention during the TWW. In hindsight, there were subtle symptoms, but nothing major that would make me think I was pregnant. My symptoms got bigger between 5-6 weeks.

Yes! Based in several symptoms I had a strong feeling that I was preg, but after several months of BFNs I wouldn't let myself believe it. I was right!

Nope. Instead I convince myself that I'm pregnant every month. "I'm SO tired lately, do you remember how tired I was right before I found out I was pregnant?" "I feel kinda naseous today, remember how fast my naseau kicked in last time?" Stuff like that...I symptom spot constantly. I've gotten better about keeping it in my head since I'm sure it's super annoying! lol

I've only had previous pregnancies that ended in losses, but the first time I was, I had NO idea. I was super shocked. This time, I just knew well before I got a positive, and wasn't even remotely surprised when I got a positive test. I think my body has learned what it feels like, even when it's too early to have any definite symptoms that I could consciously notice.
