I did. I was SO tired, bloated and crampy.
First time around I felt a little off too (it was too long ago to remember what I was feeling though)

Good luck!!

It was my first cycle trying, but I wanted it so bad I felt like I was pregnant...surprisingly I was even though deep down I didn't think it would happen. (Doctor warned us due to my short cycles it could take us awhile.)

The cycle I got my BFP, I ignored the one symptom I actually had because of the cycles before and my symptom spotting. I thought I might be pregnant based on my temps, but I certainly didn't feel it! Other cycles, I definitely FELT pregnant and then got a BFN, so my intuition is definitely not very good.

Not only did I not feel pregnant, I was absolutely convinced there was no way I could be (our timing was HORRIBLE that month)! On the flip side, there were tons of months I was completely sure that I just HAD to be pregnant, and wasn't.

Nope! Was convinced that it hadn't happened for us that month. And then--BFP!

My boobs got huge and sore about 2 days after my BBT went up!

I felt like I was not pregnant. Even when I was a couple of days late I was convinced that it was b/c I didn't know the length of my luteal phase. I was totally surprised when I got a very strong BFP once I finally tested.

After I saw the BFP, I knew my major symptoms were major, major tiredness. I knew this cycle I wasn't pregnant because I didn't really feel any different.

not at all, I was testing early and kept getting BFN. I thought I was just getting my period, mild cramps and bloating. but then I waited a week and retested, BFP! lol

in retrospect, there was some extra cramping after ovulation that *could* have been implantation (although who knows), but at the time it didn't strike me as particularly unusual and overall i did not feel pregnant.

Nope, no intuition.
In the 9 months of ttc prior I felt every little symptom could lead to that elusive BFP, and was sure it was our month.

The month of our BFP, other than absolute exhaustion at 6-7 DPO (like 'impossible to drag my behind out of bed' tired), I felt no symptoms at all, so I didn't even bother testing until I was late. I had some light cramping, but I figured that was just my period coming. I couldn't have been more stunned to find that second line on the stick!

as far as symptoms - I didn't have anything until week 5, aside from missing my period!

but, I "just knew" I was pregnant. I'm not sure why or how - but I tested evening on 9 dpo and got a positive!

@lemondrop: was the exhaustion only on 6-7 DPO or did it go beyond that?

I voted that I felt pregnant but my only symptom was that my period wasn't coming. I wasn't technically late yet but I could just tell that it wasn't coming so I took a test and got a surprise BFP.

I didn't feel like I was a pregnant and I also didn't feel like my period was about to start, which made me start wondering if I was pregnant!

Honestly, I thought I was having bad effects of a hangover.

I drank a bit too much Saturday night and took my test that week at work. I tried to eat but was feeling nauseaus. I really just chalked it up to eating something wrong or having weird lasting effects of a hangover. Ooops.

For days before both of my BFPs I had super sore boobs and was soooo bloated so I thought something was up. BUt I also got pregnant on the first try both times so I've never had a cycle where I was trying and didn't get pregnant so who knows if I would have imagined symptoms even if I wasn't preggy.

I didn't feel pregnant because my pregnancy symptoms were exactly the same as my premenstrual symptoms! The only difference was that the bigger boobs and random cramps didn't go away. Normally they have a very definite time frame. I knew something was up when I was over a week late and still experiencing twinges.
