How did you know?

Hi

Im 13 DPO and very anxious to know if im pregnant. Had no symptoms at all other than slight cramping which I get anyway when im due on. Just wondering from this poll and before you knew you were preg, out of these symptoms, which ones did you have that actually lead to pregnancy. Be interesting to know which symptom ranks highest :-)

this is an interesting question, my first sign was feeling dizzy - I thought I had s wierd virus - this was when my period was due so I put my missed period down to having a virus (i have never missed a period before , maybe bells should have rung?) then I nearly fainted three times at work whilst standing up for a couple hours (again completely out of character and I put it down to 'the weird virus' )  then I got cramps and bit of constipation a week after I wad due for AF these cramps were Sharp compared to my normal period pain but I figured it was my weird late period. (i always suffered horrific period pain anyway) so a few days of pain and still no period I finally thought  '? pregnant' had a busy weekend and didn't get round to test til 3 days later when I figured I should rule it out....well four positive tests within 3 hours and I finally put 2 and 2 together to make a baby. a serious case of denial!     6 weeks when I tested -   I am now 11 weeks and a bit happily pregnant :)

hang in there- we've been trying for 18months with 3mc. but not caught now for at least 6 months. I just did another digital test and it came back as BFN!
Its hard each month to get it out of my mind set :(

well AF showed up for me. :-( i was expecting it though, i had a feeling it hadnt worked, but still dissapointed cos been trying now for over a year.

I just wanna know either way now as it's NYE tomorrow and want to know if I can have a drink or not!

I was 12 dpo when i found out.  I had taken tests at 10dpo with a BFN.  The reason i tested again and didnt wait for AF is because i was getting mild period pains which never happens to me before AF comes, i usually get them really bad once i'm on. But i tested, expecting it to be BFN but it came up BFP!!!

Good Luck, hope u get ur BFP!!!

I found out i was pregnant around 4 weeks...i had the sore breasts but i figured it was because i was about to start my period. I only knew something was up when i pretty much slept a whole weekend away! It was 4th of July weekend and i ended up missing all the fireworks lol. I would get a full 8 hours of sleep and still be tired.

Wow, you have pretty long cycles. But don't give up hope yet with the BFN. I've read on this website many stores of women that have BFN and then get a BFP a couple days after, i'm hoping thats the case for both of us. As long as no AF we still have a chance lol.
SSBD to you!!

I have really long cycles of about 40 days - and i ovulated early this month - so I still have to wait until 11th Jan until my AF is due. I tested yesterday morning and it was still BFN.

Hello Sarah,

I am currently 14dpo and AF is due today I hope she doesn't show. But I was pregnant back in August but wasn't aware of it and sadly it ending in a m/c. The one thing that I noticed after I found out I was pg was sore breasts and the had gotten bigger as well. I hope this helps!

To lozzaj83: I took a test at 7dpo, 8dpo, and 12 dpo and they all were BFN. Here it is 14dpo and i'm too scared to test! :(

Hello ---

I think I am about 12 dpo. I tested early but had a BFN. Ive still got tender breasts but not swollen - apart from that and a nose bleed on Boxing day - ive not really had anything else. What about you?
