The month that we got our BFP with DS, I had NO clue I was pregnant. The months that I got BFNs, I was symptom spotting and "felt pregnant." But the BFP month, I was 100% ready to see the blank BFN test and move onto the next cycle.
Not pregnant, but j/w how things will be different with TTC #2 in the future!

I didn't know until I was 10 weeks with DS. I had been feeling a little sick and friends told me to test. With dd, my booze was tasting funny so I tested!

I wasn't overly confident, but when I got my BFP I also wasn't too surprised. I didn't really have any symptoms, but I knew from reading HB that no symptoms was often itself a symptom...if that makes sense!

I didn't know with DD but I did know with this pregnancy. My boobs hurt too much to ignore.

I took the test a little early because some beer I started drinking at a party tasted funny to me. Otherwise I didn't "feel pregnant."

Nope! Positive at 12 day post I without symptoms. However over the next two days I arm tarted developing a lot of weird abdominal pinching feelings.

Yes. We weren't even trying but I suddenly started thinking I was pregnant & having vivid dreams about a baby. DH had no idea I was thinking these things & he suddenly started saying he thought I waa. My period was 5 days late, so I tested & found out we had some happiness on the way!

Yes, I just "knew", BUT I also thought I knew the month before, when I was not pregnant, so there's that...
However I had very distinctive implantation cramping, so I really really thought I was pregnant when I got my BFP. We were trying and the timing was right, so it's not like I could have been totally surprised anyway, you know?

I suspected!
I was charting while TTC, so when I felt cramping around 7-9 DPO followed by a temp spike (my first triphasic chart EVER), I started feeling like I might actually be pregnant! And I was!
TTC #2 was exactly the same. I had to use OPKs for my irregular cycle postpartum, but I experienced the same cramping followed by a temp spike (triphasic chart again) and so I was pretty confident it meant the same thing it did last time around!

I had a feeling with both pregnancies but had no clue with my miscarriage. With this pregnancy I totally knew at 8dpo

I suspected but I really thought that I was reading into my symptoms. But I had one implantation spot that got my hopes up, but I still just told myself I was reading into it. The night before my BFP I had like 3 beers with dinner cause I was sure I wasn't.

With my CP in April, I was really dizzy and suspected I might be pregnant. I honestly wasn't that surprised.
In May, I was convinced I was pregnant again and it was a BFN.
Now, in June, I just got my BFP this weekend and was completely floored (still am!) I was absolutely convinced I wasn't pregnant and refused to symptom spot.
You really never do know!

We were trying so I knew I had a chance, but didn't want to be too hopeful!

I didn't think I was pregnant when I got my BFP. The only reason I took a pregnancy test that day was because we were supposed to go to a Halloween party with an open bar so I wanted to check before I drank anything.

Nope. No clue until I took the test. And I only did that to prove I could I drink at a party.

The first time I had no clue. The second time, I just knew I was.

I had strong feelings that I could be this time around. I was keeping a detailed list of symptoms post HCG injection and they kept getting worse, and when I compared them to previous symptoms post HCG it didn't add up, so I tested, got a little more than a squinter and waited 2 days to test again, and it was a clear positive!

Nope, neither time. With DS, I was positive I wasn't and was just waiting for AF to show. With DD we weren't trying, it wasn't even on our radar actually! So I wasn't looking for signs/symptoms.
pomegranate / 3225 posts
aw, you had me all excited that you were preggo!
This time around I definitely KNEW it. I had this weird taste in my mouth so I went home to test (also AF didn't show up... I always wait like 14 days to test)

@kml636: hehehe not yet! hopefully in the coming months! hope you're feeling well!!
cantaloupe / 6059 posts
Yup. Both times. I wasn't surprised to see the pink lines show up at all when I tested. My body and mood changes like night and day when I'm pregnant... the first time I guess I should say I strongly suspected, while the second time I knew because my symptoms were the same as the first go around!

Not really. I went running the day before I tested and felt off, so I just thought I was sick. I tested because I was 8dpo and had a line.

I thought I was out (got a negative two days earlier) but tested again because I was on progesterone and my period wouldn't start until I stopped it.
When I took the test, I was so sure it would be negative I actually forgot to check it (left it sitting on the bathroom counter). Then when I checked it a couple hours later and saw a line, I was sure it was an evap, so I took another. I couldn't believe it was actually positive!

Nope, I have had no idea any of the times I have been pregnant. 2 were surprises and 1 was planned.
grapefruit / 4311 posts
Every month we were TTC, I was convinced this is it up until AF would show, so I don't think that really counts 
honeydew / 7909 posts
I was 100% sure I was pregnant! The other months, I hoped but that month I knew.

I didn't know. Baby was a surprise and I just took a test so that my mind would stop playing tricks on me and I could stop hoping/wondering if I was pregnant. I was expecting it to be negative just like every other time I was paranoid and took a test.
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
Yeah I was pretty confident. I felt very different and hormonal and DH asked me what the heck was wrong with me and I told him, "I think I'm pregnant". The next day, I took a test and... yup!
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
I had a feeling, but wasn't too confident since like others, I wanted a BFP, but after months of trying and seeing a BFN...
btw, all your pregnancy questions keep making me look at you questioningly... are you pregnant??????? Because I'm THIS close from jumping up and down in excitement for you. haha
