How did you know??

Prior to a missed period or positive pregnancy test, how did you know you were pregnant?? What symptoms did you have that made you think to test?? Have been ttc for two months now and just wondering if these symptoms may be something. Have not tested nor missed my period, yet. Thank you for any help.

I was SUPER tired all the time I thought it was the weather. My husband hugged me & I almost wanted to cry. When I had a drink I would feel nauseous. Plus my husband told me I was pregnant.

I had sore boobs, and thought I should've had my period by then. I got a dollar test from dollar general and sure enough it was positive. I was kinda freaking out so I went and bought another and the clerk was like what was it positive? And I just gave her an evil look. Lol the clerk at dollar general was the first to know.

My sense of smell increased. And I had sore nipples. Nothing major though.

I had been pregnant three times prior nd every time I've been pregnant I've had depression really bad in the beginning before testing so i was like i seriously think I'm pregnant but i waited for my period anyway and the day i was supposed to get it and had nothing happen (mothers day) XD i took the test and had two thick lines so i called the doc the next day and got in right away due to a genetic disorder i have that kills my kiddos so i had to get some stuff done to keep the lil guy but he is super strong and healthy so I'm one proud mama other than depression though i really never had anything give me the i think I'm pregnant feeling...i actually thought the guy wasn't able to have kids cause we had unprotected sex for eight months and never ended up having a baby at all so this lil guy is truly a miracle to me :)

Thank you ladies. I'm trying to not get excited and get my hopes up. But I will secretly keep my fingers crossed and see what happens in the next week.

I had been having unusual thick milky discharge, scared something was wrong. Nope found out this is normal in lots of women.

Well I definitely have some nausea and food, when I eat, just doesn't taste good for some reason. And my boobs have been so very sore. Also I've had a discharge (tmi) and I'm past my ovulation date along with a tiny bit of cramping. So I'm wondering if I'm overthinking it or not.
