They adjust it if cycles are longer or shorter so that O is always 2 weeks pregnant. Its a big 40 week cycle starting with a period - weeks pregnant does not equal number of weeks a baby has been in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-483082 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 18:32:22 +0000 Shutterbug 483082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@berdine: when you ovulate, that's "two weeks pregnant" (assuming you're successful), so 7dpo is technically 3 weeks, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-483061 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 18:11:38 +0000 LaughLines 483061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm confused on the timing of how the dpo relates to how many weeks pregnant. One post said they were 12 dpo which is just under 4 weeks, but 12 days is less than 2 weeks, how can you be 4 weeks along if you just ovulated 12 days ago? Another one said 8 dpo and 3 weeks. Do I not understand how to count how far along you are? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-476968 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 00:22:05 +0000 StbHisMrs 476968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I didn't find out until I was about 5.5 months along. My normal period happens twice a year. I felt bloated that whole time, no sickness, no heartburn, nothing. I went to the Dr to ask about bcp (my at the time husband was very against bcp) I went behind his back. They told me I was pregnant, with twins, and sent me for an ultrasound. Thankfully they were wrong about twins, but shocked me with my dd! My first u/s was an anatomy scan. After I found out all the symptoms came rolling in and I popped. Craziest thing ever. </p> <p>With Maddy I tested positive on Jan. 31, about 6 weeks along I think. I don't how far along I am now, nurse says 11 weeks. I tested positive on Dec 23. If I had the symptoms I have now the first time around I would've known immediately!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-476925 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 23:37:56 +0000 Sweet T 476925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out when I was 4w5d. It was 3 days after Christmas! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-476918 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 23:32:31 +0000 Grace 476918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 weekz exactly.</p> <p>I knew one girl who didn't know until age was 7 months. Her dad had gotten sick that year and died, so she was super stressed and it messed with her digestive system (or so she thought). Her periods still came, she thought movement was gas, she was overweight, so she gained next to nothing. She said she was so wrapped up in her life at the time and so stressed out that the possibility didn't cross her mind.</p> <p>I worked with another girl who didn't know till 5 months. I don't know all the details with her, but she had had like 3 periods in her whole life and doctors had told her she couldn't have kids. Eventually she got talked into taking a test when she started gaining weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-476909 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 23:25:00 +0000 pastemoo 476909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 DPO but this actually happened to a friend of mine's wife. And I believe them that it was a complete surprise. To be honest--I didn't believe them until I was pregnant (and knew it) and in my second tri.</p> <p>When I was 5 months pregnant I realized if I was in their position I would also think I had some terrible stomach ailments, with some rib pain, and weight gain from eating too much. Having never been pregnant I would have thought the same as her--some weird stomach thing!</p> <p>Poor girl was on all kinds of meds for her abdominal issues and never really showed more than looking fat! With her baby #2 the symptoms were more obvious and they knew within the first tri (I don't know how soon beyond that). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-476858 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 22:53:30 +0000 shopaholic 476858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 15 or 16 DPO.

I think those women are lying. There's no way they couldn't have at least suspected being pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-476731 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 22:07:26 +0000 prettylizy 476731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my BFP at 3w5d!! I knew as soon as I turned my nose up at some chips I was eating that something was up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant#post-476716 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 22:00:38 +0000 matador84 476716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like an idiot! I was around 10 weeks. I had spotted the whole month of December (found out late Jan with BFP) so I was convinced there was NO WAY I was prego since I hadn't missed a period. The only reason I took a test is because I was telling a friend I was getting really bad heartburn and she said the only time in her life she ever got heartburn was when she was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant#post-476709 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:56:54 +0000 Dr. Pepper 476709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This time around it was 3 weeks 0 days! I had two miscarriages in the three months prior (both of those times I found out around 4.5-5 weeks), so I had been testing pretty regularly because I wanted to get into the OB to get my progesterone checked right away. When I called saying I had a positive test and they asked the date of my LMP, they didn't believe me! They double check the date, said it was only 3 weeks and asked if I was sure it was positive! I was like, I have 2 tests with positive lines and a positive digital- so yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant#post-476539 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:42:25 +0000 HLK208 476539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time, I had irregular periods to begin with so around 5-6 weeks.

We were trying so I was sensitive to symptoms but I did feel like something was different.</p> <p>I get not having the classic symptoms or writing them off as something else but once the baby is moving *how* can you overlook that?? I have only watched a few of those shows but there has to be something else going on with those women, denial or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant#post-475256 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 12:25:06 +0000 Mrs. Train 475256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4-6 weeks both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant#post-475242 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 12:19:29 +0000 Mrs. Markers 475242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 weeks after a missed period, i'm usually like clockwork so i knew something was up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-find-out-you-were-pregnant#post-475221 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 12:14:30 +0000 plantains 475221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 dpo.

I tested because DH and I were going out for Valentines day. Plus I had pushed my Ramen away one day because it tasted funny and DH was like you are pregnant.
