Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1769689 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 03:33:05 +0000 Kemma 1769689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So just a wee update, I picked up a test while out doing the groceries this morning and it was positive!</p> <p>All going well, EDD is the end of March! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1768817 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 07:04:57 +0000 travelgirl1 1768817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With both pregnancies it felt like AF was right around the corner. With the second one, I had the benefit of knowing that the first had felt like that so I did suspect a little. I was also emotional for the second one and had pinches/twinges in my ovaries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1768811 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 06:54:15 +0000 catomd00 1768811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't charting or TTC with #1 and knew a few days before my period was due because I had so much rage! I also had abnormal cramping. But the rage really gave it away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1768782 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 05:08:17 +0000 Kemma 1768782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: @ninja: @Mrs. M: @MrsMccarthy: @Aandmklover: @lemondrop: @lamariniere: @MrsRcCar: @Andrea: @caitlanc: @LuLu Mom: @Mrs.Someone: @swurlygurl: @MarieJ: @sorrycharlie: </p> <p>Thanks for all the responses ladies :-) Going by when I think I O'd I'm at roughly 14dpo but my cycles aren't yet regular (still bf'ing) so I could be completely wrong! I'm trying not to be too hopeful as it took awhile to get pregnant with Miss A and we're only on the second month of TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1768256 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:21:36 +0000 sorrycharlie 1768256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a hunch, yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1768018 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:53:53 +0000 MarieJ 1768018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep with # 1 I suspected I was pregnant, but wasn't sure until I got the blatant BFP in the Walmart bathroom ;)</p> <p>With #2, I knew before I tested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1767898 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:12:16 +0000 swurlygurl 1767898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew before testing with #2 because I was having the same weird half-period/half-spotting that I did with #1.<br /> BUT, both pregnancies I thought I was out initially because it appeared I had started my period until I finally caught on 3 or 4 days later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1767894 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:10:06 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1767894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I "knew" every single month! But for my first 2 pregnancies I was a little more sure. For this one (sticky) I was pretty sure I was out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1767759 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 13:00:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 1767759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1- no idea, we were just starting to try and figured it was a long shot that we actually got pregnant the first time. </p> <p>#2- I thought I knew 2 days before I took the test, but then had some spotting so I figured AF was showing up. My sense of smell has been crazy, that was my first hint. And sore boobs. I'll take it though, symptoms mean something's happening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1767679 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 12:16:51 +0000 caitlanc 1767679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! At least not consciously. It may have known subconsciously though because I randomly tested without stopping to talk myself out of testing like I usually do. The positive completely shocked me when I saw it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1766843 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 05:33:26 +0000 Andrea 1766843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew before taking the test because my boobs hurt and they only did that when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1766826 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 04:44:58 +0000 MrsRcCar 1766826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I got BFP with DS 1, the only reason. I tested was because AF was due and Dh and I were going on our valentines day date. Came back postive I was shocked and excited as was Dh. When we got BFP with DS 2 the only clue I had was almost getting ill at my desk at work. I even tested at work. Funny because looking back if made sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1766811 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 02:29:06 +0000 lamariniere 1766811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was the opposite. I absolutely knew with LO1 that I was pregnant a week before POAS. With LO2, we were actively TTC but I had no idea until I got a BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1766775 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 01:01:44 +0000 lemondrop 1766775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, no clue either time. The only symptom before becoming violently ill at 8 weeks is one day of exhaustion at 6 dpo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1766760 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 00:44:55 +0000 Aandmklover 1766760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH and I were getting ready for a date night and I looked at him and said "I think I might be pregnant because I've been having crazy weird dreams like I did right before our BFP with DS" sure enough I got a BFP that night on a dollar store text and I'm due next month with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1766716 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 23:34:56 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1766716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was SO sure I was pregnant and so wrong the first few months. This and the first time I was pregnant I had a few little things I thought might be hints but I blew them off pretty quickly! Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1766693 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 23:18:08 +0000 Mrs. M 1766693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew with #2 because I was nauseous for several days in a row (and suspected it was the start of morning sickness like I had with #1). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1766652 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 22:43:55 +0000 ninja 1766652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew with #2 because of the cramping 5 days before AF was due. Took a test and confirmed it the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1766599 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 22:18:35 +0000 immabeetoo 1766599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suspected with #1 because of really weird overnight symptoms, woke up the next am and immediate BFP first time POAS.</p> <p>#2.. umm nope. I thought we had put it on hold, had very slim odds for obvious reasons, but realized I hadn't had my period in 4 weeks... and was peeing often... and my pants weren't fitting... D'oh. Looking back it's sort of obvious but, yeah!</p> <p>FWIW We'd been trying since January. First cycle after he weaned, bam. That was all it took for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-2-or-3-or-4-did-you-know-before-you-took-the-test#post-1766594 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 22:13:59 +0000 Kemma 1766594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we got our BFP with Miss A I knew is was knocked up before I even thought about peeing on sticks (I'd been charting for six months) but now we're TTC for baby #2, I have NO idea what my cycle or body is doing!</p> <p>So how about it? Did you know without testing when it came to second or subsequent babies?</p> <p>(And I am totally doing the whole boob-poking, symptom spotting thing but it's tough because I'm still nursing and have no definite feel for when I ovulated this month!) </p>
