Infact, it's unlikely to have any sort of symptom before implantation, which occurs around 5-7 DPO, and even then there is hardly any HCG in your system yet (not enough to show up on a HPT, oftentimes) so having pregnancy symptoms (usually caused by HCG) is unlikely.</p> <p>As for a gut feeling, or intuition? Perhaps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1207106 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 15:21:49 +0000 indi 1207106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Same here. That night I was like "yep, that was it," and in the morning I had a particular song in my mind when I woke up that sealed the deal for me. But I tested neg on 6 dpo (go figure), and then we went on vacation so I just tried to convince myself that sleeping and eating more was a side effect of running around so much, although I wanted to test again at 9 dpo. I waited until 13 and it was instantly there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1207009 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 14:00:29 +0000 Emsmems 1207009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Other cycles I thought I was preggo and wasn't, so I was convinced on our BFP cycle that our timing was off and there was no way. I only tested to give myself permission to drink, and then it was positive! So much for intuition! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206913 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 12:33:19 +0000 marionberry 1206913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The second my nipples were sore I was pretty sure but didn't really know until the test. On #2 if I get sore nipples again that will be my cue. I had never had that before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206882 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 12:13:16 +0000 Mrs. Amethyst 1206882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, I had no idea. We got pregnant our first cycle TTC and I did not expect it to happen that fast!</p> <p>This time, I had a gut feeling it was going to be :bfp: . In fact, I POAS and waited the 5 minutes, and EXPECTED to see a BFP... I really don't know why and I can't really explain it. Mommy's intuition perhaps? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206834 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 11:23:11 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1206834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cried at the Budweiser Clydesdale commercial (like, sobbing) and DH called it. I didn't get the BFP for another week and a half! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206830 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 11:19:14 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1206830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote because I felt "symptoms" every month. So technically, yes, I had a feeling, but I always had a feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206827 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 11:17:18 +0000 lovehoneybee 1206827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was convinced I wasn't, actually. Seeing the second line (on a test I only took because I was charting and my temp was still high the day AF was due) was such a huge shock that I sat on the bathroom floor and stared at it for several minutes in disbelief. And then had a mini-panic attack. </p> <p>In retrospect, there were some things that should have clued me in...one sore nipple once, the smell of bacon making me all vomit-y, and I was bitchy and tired, but I brushed off those things as random or illness related because our timing had been so awful that month. But I didn't FEEL pregnant for a few more weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206803 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 10:54:29 +0000 sandy 1206803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...I was so sick the entire month and we were both so busy that we were only able to try once during my fertile week. I was so convince it wasn't going to be a successful cycle I was taking all kinds of cold medicine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206788 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 10:28:09 +0000 cascademom 1206788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My breasts felt huge, but I really didn't think it was pregnancy related. I honestly thought I wasn't pregnant. I checked for the hell of it to a light positive at night to a positive FRER the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206763 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 10:04:37 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1206763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I thought we had missed our shot since we were supposed to do an IUI that cycle, but I never got the smiley face, so we didn't do it. Boy were we surprised when AF never showed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206743 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 09:44:21 +0000 lemondrop 1206743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, completely clueless both times. I've had far more BFN months that I had thought would be it, so I've learned that I have zero intuition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206713 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 09:21:06 +0000 Lindsay05 1206713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time I was in complete shock. The second time I knew right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206710 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 09:20:24 +0000 avivoca 1206710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I thought I was out. I went for a run the day before I tested and felt off, which usually means I'm getting sick. I went to a baby shower that afternoon and I felt extra sad, which I attribute to NOT being pregnant when it was something I desperately wanted, so I was shocked when I tested the next night and got a faint positive. I tested the following morning and the second line came up within a minute on the FRER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206706 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 09:15:50 +0000 Corduroy 1206706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I 'knew' the other cycles we tried but was pretty sure I wasn't the cycle I got my BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206703 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 09:12:42 +0000 mlm2934 1206703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted no, because I "knew" it every cycle we have TTC'd, so I was right the cycles that I did get BFP lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206689 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 08:59:54 +0000 wonderstruck 1206689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. With LO we got pregnant on our first try, and I thought there was no way the test was going to be positive. This time around we've been trying for 2 cycles, and I always convince myself that I'm pregnant (nauseous, tired, whatever) and then I'm not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206685 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 08:55:41 +0000 singingbee 1206685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time, no idea. </p> <p>The second time, I knew when I looked at the test it was going to be positive. I was pretty sure the night before, so it was a great thing to see that :bfp: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206680 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 08:50:31 +0000 blackbird 1206680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. That's why I was six weeks pregnant when I found out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206678 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 08:49:52 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1206678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the time I did all my typical symptom spotting but blew it off cause we were already into cycle 15. In hine site I it makes sense. I remember feeling or think I was feeling implantation twice, I started getting hungry towards the end of the 2 weeks, &amp; when I bit DH's head off the day before my BFP I kind of suspected it. BUT like I said I blew them off. Crazy things happen during the tww. GOOD LUCK! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206671 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 08:43:42 +0000 MrsKoala 1206671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 100% sure that I was not pregnant. Our timing wasn't great and I had 0 symptoms. I was sure AF would be coming in a couple days and POASed because I wanted to drink at a party later and wanted to prove to DH that I could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206668 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 08:39:48 +0000 Mamasig 1206668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both times I was surprised. I don't temp or chart or think about symptoms. And I waited until the day my period was due to test. In hindsight I had "symptoms" with my 1st pregnancy but I didn't know that's what they were at the time. With this current pregnancy, zero symptoms before my BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206635 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 07:21:32 +0000 Smurfette 1206635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought yes but then told myself that I was imagining things </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206626 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 07:07:56 +0000 Dandelion 1206626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't "feel" pregnant, but my cat got super cuddly on me and my cervix felt like it does when I'm pregnant, lol. I knew I was gonna poas and get a +. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206616 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 06:02:09 +0000 MrsCDH 1206616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys - reassuring to know that because I don't 'feel' pregnant, it doesn't mean I am automatically out for the month.</p> <p>@Cherrybee: I know what you mean about having a feeling which turned out to be nothing! That's me every month, so I am desperately trying to manage my expectations... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206614 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 05:53:55 +0000 nana87 1206614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I thought we'd missed our shot that month and took a test because I felt really exhausted. But when I actually looked at my test at first, it was out of the corner of my eye (and I was barely awake) so I didn't see the second line at first and thought "dang!" but then I looked closer and saw it was totally there! Then I was more like "holy crap!!" haha. Later that day and the next I had crazy flu-like symptoms, but they hadn't fully come on when I took my test. </p> <p>In contrast, there was a month before where I was absolutely convinced I was pregnant, and I definitely wasn't...haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206612 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 05:42:17 +0000 artsyfartsy 1206612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew it was definitely possible but I didn't know for sure! I didn't have any special feeling like I just "knew". I knew my preperiod symptoms were much worse than usual but I thought it was maybe wishful thinking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206601 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 03:57:35 +0000 QBbride 1206601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I definitely knew, without question. I knew the symptoms I was having weren't just in my head. I even took a test in the morning and it was negative, and I wasn't even sad because I knew it would be positive. Later that afternoon I tested and it was positive!!!</p> <p>Symptoms: crazy insomnia (lasted the whole first trimester),, bad gas pains, sore back, headache, just felt "off"... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206600 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 03:51:12 +0000 AprilFool 1206600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't and then I did. At 13dpo I thought we were out since I had no symptoms (looking back I had a few). I was so sure I drank a bottle of wine that night. Ooops! 14dpo, when AF was due, I just knew. No AF and I felt a little sea sick. Didn't take the test till the next day when still no AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-3#post-1206599 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 03:48:59 +0000 Penny Lane 1206599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no. I knew statistically we had done well that month, but the positive test was still a surprise! </p>
