how soon did you know?

[ashleyyxo]

So I have been doing alot of research on this. I know most tests dont pick up on the hcg until 5 days before your missed period or later. I know its not supposed to be possible to know your preg or to have any symptoms until the baby has implanted. But my question is how often did you start having symptoms how soon did you know?
Just curious t near everyone's experience.

I had my son, then 3 months later i was pregnant with my second. I hadnt had a period yet because of just giving birth so that wasnt why i tested. I believe i tested because i was nauseated. I didnt find out i was pregnant until almost 10 weeks because i was tired from taking care of my newborn...no period because of just giving birth...sore breast from breast feeding...and so on. All my symptoms were covered up from just giving birth. Lol. Now 3 months later, my second is due may 8 :)

I started having symptoms this time before mymmissed period. My breasts were swollen and sore (I thought I just had PMS and consumed too much salt) I felt bloated but thought maybe it was just something i was eating and didn't get sick but I did feel queasy in the mornings if I didn't eat right away. There were a few other symptoms too but I kept brushing them off bc we weren't trying and I didn't think it was possible. I finally took a test after i completely missed my period and was shocked when the blue lines lit up immediately without even have to wait the three minutes it says to wait.

I was 8 days. I took a test cuz my stomach/bladder felt different when I woke up in the mornings

I tested positive at 2weeks, 6days. My husband and I had been trying for over a year and it was my first round on clomid. I was peeing a lot more and started puking at work. I work in a deli and the smells were getting to me.

I knew a day before I missed my period. My boobs were so sensitive... to water! I also has a gut feeling. Took the test and got three positives in a row.

I tested about three days before my missed period and it came back negative. Six days later, after feeling a little "off," I tested again and within 15 seconds, that second little pink line popped up. My husband and I weren't trying, per se, but we were leaving it up to God to decide. Guess he wanted us to be parents way faster than I imagined!

The earliest I have ever tested and ever gotten a + was when I was 11 dpo.  It really is best to wait until your missed period.  I know it's hard but since everyone's HCG levels are different, it's just better to wait IMO.

With my first I tested at 6 weeks, I was nauseated but thought it was stress my period were irregular at the time so I didn't even think I could get pregnant but me and my bf had just broke up so I just took a test to make sure I had no ties left to him. Haha. Well we are still tied together lol married now and on our second baby. This time I found out at 4 weeks and I tested cause my period was late. I tested 2 days after my missed period and it was negative so I waited 2 more days and that's when I got a positive. I was in denial for 4 weeks cause I had no symptoms til 8 weeks and at 5,weeks I was told I miscarried. I'm 33 weeks now.

The lack of symptoms isz what made me realize we were successful...I had NO period symptoms or pregnancy symptomsz and dat wasz weird for me kaz I usually have HORRID pmsin issuesz then even after I got a positive wit my home test it took 2 more weeksz to get a positive at tha docs ...

I only took a test because we had been trying. I took that test at 4.5 weeks ad didn't get any symptoms til 6 weeks. Then I got sore boobs, nausea, tired all the time, and super emotional. I'm almost 11 weeks now and the symptoms are finally starting to fade a little.

I found out at 4 weeks. I took a test because I kept feeling so nauseous and tired and things tasted stronger to me lol plus I have two other kids so I knew something was up
