I thought maybe my period was late but realized I was calculating a week off. I haven't been keeping track and completely lost when my period was due. So I was just wondering </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1/page/2#post-2134926 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 09:48:10 +0000 Mamaof2 2134926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: did you test? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1/page/2#post-2134925 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 09:47:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2134925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was a surprise because we did IVF for #1</p> <p>It was CD 65 and I just assumed I was having a super long cycle. A friend told me to test just in case - BFP!</p> <p>Looking back the only symptom that I had was that I was craving cucumbers in vinegar (which is what I craved with my 1st pregnancy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1/page/2#post-2134555 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 20:59:17 +0000 blackbird 2134555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was actually taking a break from fertility drugs when I got pregnant. I was 6 weeks when I found out. It was a "surprise" but not really because, well, unprotected sex. Silly rabbit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1/page/2#post-2134536 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 20:46:11 +0000 daniellemybelle 2134536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were NTNP-ish. My boobs hurt so bad, and then my period was late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134521 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 20:36:25 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2134521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was charting to avoid, but around Christmas I either miscalculated or just plain messed up. I tested when my (totally regular) period was about 5 days late. That was really the only symptom I had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134461 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 19:56:36 +0000 BandDmommy 2134461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: I apparantlg get pregnant when not trying and when I try it takes awhile..

I knew we had been lax with preventing, but with a really wonky cycle, so I tested a few times before a BFP </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134384 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 18:29:22 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2134384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: you could say bc failed in a sense. ;)</p> <p>@Mrs. Train: wow! thanks for sharing, amazing!</p> <p>@BandDmommy: thay would turn me into something of a control freak about bc.

I was about 6 weeks. - technically I was NTNP but I had 1 year of failed TTC and 6 failed cycles of IF treatments plus another year without a pregnancy. I thought it just wasn't in the cards for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134182 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 14:06:31 +0000 birdofafeather 2134182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: we were avoiding, but due to a move and travel, O was delayed, so even though we were conservative with my dates, i O'd a week later than usual and since i thought we were totally in the clear... so BC didn't fail, but my method of avoiding did (we'd been good for a year before) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134151 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 13:45:16 +0000 Mommy Finger 2134151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: Mine was when NTNP. To be fair, I guess I was charting and forgot to look that day but we definitely weren't actively trying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134047 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:58:58 +0000 BandDmommy 2134047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: something you want to tell us? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134046 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:58:23 +0000 BandDmommy 2134046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: it's okay :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134044 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:57:38 +0000 Smurfette 2134044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: oh I didn't know about before B, so I got confused.

The others I was actively preventing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134034 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:54:14 +0000 BandDmommy 2134034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I've recently had 2 chemicals.

When I think "surprise pregnancy" I think avoiding pregnancy but it still happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134028 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:50:00 +0000 ehh5000 2134028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My breasts were large and sensitive, but this usually happens for me around the time my period is due. My nipples actually got really sensitive in a way that I had never felt before. I had some implantation bleeding that I thought was the start of my period, but it stopped and a few days later my period still had not arrived. I tested and got a positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134018 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:40:56 +0000 Smurfette 2134018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I thought that y'all were trying with D. Weren't you seeing an RE? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2134005 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:29:36 +0000 californiadreams 2134005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't recognize any symptoms and was not actively TTC. I was almost 8 weeks when I found out. I had been thrown off by implantation bleeding that I thought was a very light period and around expected time of AF. the next month I of course had no period and a nagging feeling that maybe my "light period" the month before was not really one at all so I finally tested.</p> <p>In hind sight some symptoms I think I had was heightened sense of smell and increased appetite. And probably fatigue but I've never been a good sleeper and often feel tired. So none of those things clued me in. My cycles usually varied in length and I had only started tracking length of cycles a month prior in anticipation of TTC in 6-12 months so I didn't think much of the timing either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2133809 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 10:11:21 +0000 LulaBee 2133809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of my pregnancies have been a surprise! My period is very regular, so when I'm late, I know something is up. This last time (found out last week), I just KNEW. No physical symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2133757 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:21:18 +0000 Mommy Finger 2133757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boobs looked huge. I was sort of keeping track of my cycle so I realized that I was due for my period to start. I tested pretty soon after and got my BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2133255 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 08:45:59 +0000 tequiero21 2133255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forget why I even tested.... We were ntnp for a year. We needed intervention with my twins, so honestly, I didn't think I'd get pregnant again cuz we weren't going to go the intervention route again. I didn't show any symptoms. I just tested on an expired test and was pretty shocked when it came out positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2133150 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 23:33:21 +0000 maddyz 2133150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were packing for a trip 3 days before my period and I didn't pack my cup, just didn't think of it. Which is weird because I am pretty on top of that but I didn't feel like my period was coming. The day I expected my period I woke up with huge boobs and was thirsty all the time. I knew then, but didn't get a chance to test (we were visiting family) until 4 days later, by that point I was sure and the test confirmed.</p> <p>Second time when we were trying I was sure I wasn't and thought my period had started. I realized it wasn't my period right before boarding a flight home from Europe and had to wait the whole flight wondering. I was a mess by the time I landed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2133088 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 21:43:20 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2133088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had implantation bleeding/cramping but I didn't realize that's what it was and thought my body was just being weird....when my period was due I tried not to "worry" but I just had this feeling that I was pregnant and kept having dreams that I was having baby. My cycle was pretty regular at that time and had never ever been more than 5 days late so I planned on testing on day 6 but caved tested on day 4 and was totally pregnant! I was only about 5 weeks along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2133084 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 21:38:36 +0000 GrapeCrush 2133084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a raging bitch and completely hormonal all of a sudden. Didn't even think I was pregnant, but like @Rainbow Sprinkles: I had a test so I figured 'what the hey!' And tested. Surprise! I was about 6 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2133067 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 21:10:56 +0000 yin 2133067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a heart condition that affects me when I'm pregnant due to increased blood flow. I didn't know it at the time when I was pregnant with LO1, and I had a series of tests done to figure out what was wrong with me. I didn't even consider the possibility that I could be pregnant. Every pregnancy I've had since then have showed the same symptom with my heart acting up. It's the first sign of pregnancy for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2133043 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 20:51:36 +0000 yoursilverlining 2133043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No symptoms (I'm sure I would have had some if I had been symptom spotting). My period was/is like clockwork - to the day regular, so when I was late, I knew I was in trouble! That's when I tested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-surprise-pregnancy-1#post-2133040 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 20:50:25 +0000 Amelieisme 2133040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food aversions made me test. I'm a big egg/meat eater and they were suddenly repulsive to me. I smelled a rotisserie chicken at the grocery and wanted to vomit. Walked over to the pregnancy tests to buy one right then! I had the same symptom with my first pregnancy so I knew. I was 8 weeks+ when I found out. I was still BF'ing so my period was irregular so that didn't tip me off. </p>
