I was about a week late. I had what were my normal period cramps but just no period lol.. i took a test just to calm my nerves and so i could see that i wasnt pregnant, and i could not believe it was positive!!! Very emotional at first for both me and my boyfriend, but now we too happy that our little boy is due in 22 days :)

Yes you can still get pregnant, no birth control is ever completely reliable.

My breasts were very sore. Was very emotional. Crying over the dumbest stuff and didn't know why. Was craving weird foods. My husband might as well should have buried himself.  Lol. Went to the doctor to get an implant in my arm and did a prego test. Bam I'm prego. My husband and I both started laughing. But deep inside I was freaking out. Both we are both very happy.

Wow, so many different ways to notice lol
Wait so im definitely confused now, so if your on birth control and your partner ejaculates in you, you can still get pregnant?

I was 2 days late, and I had been feeling extremely tired, sleepy, & having mood swings, so my hubby & I stopped by dollar general while we was in town to pick up a pregnancy test, we both couldn't wait till we got home so we went to Walmart & I went to the restroom there to take the test lol. We had been trying for 4 months & hadn't had any luck, so I wasn't really expecting to this time...and at 1st the 2nd line didn't show up, so I sat there a minute & noticed the 2nd line was gradually coming through, & I was like oh my goodness oh my goodness yayyyy finally & I started jumping up & down in the stall then ran out to my husband who was waiting & we both were extremely excited. I went to the dr 3 days later & I definitely was pregnant, I was 4w3d, now I'm 16w2d! :D

I was 3 days late for my cycle.  And I had some symptoms like sorebreast and I was tired a lot lately.  So I told my bf and he said well just wait a couple more days maybe it will come on. but I knew something was up because I'm never late for a cycle. So then I started getting anxious. went to the Dollar General and bought a test . And waited till the morning time to take it I couldn't sleep that's all I was thinking about. so the next morning came about 6 a.m. and I jumped out of bed to take the test lol couldn't take my eyes off of it when I was done peeing on it. And it was a faint positive so at this time I didn't know that of faint positive meant your pregnant so I thought well maybe I am maybe I'm not. I told my boyfriend and he told me to make an appointment ASAP went to the appointment and sure enough I was 4 weeks 3 days pregnant Due December 21 2013 :)

I had only had fatigue symptoms, and after a night of going out and getting sick after one sip of beer, the next day I bought a test because I usually don't get sick while drinking, didn't think it was gonna be positive but to my surprise it was (34 Weeks)

I was so sick which isn't unusual for me I have a low immune system and my cousin had just died. I didn't think I was but for some odd reason my mind kept screaming for me to take a test. I ended up taking three all positive my fiance and mother were huddled outside the bathroom door, I was only 17 we live with my parents. I handed over the tests and went and laid down and went to sleep lol. Didn't talk about it for a couple hours, what freaked me out was when I woke up my fiance was sitting there staring. My mom said he had been doing that since I had fallen asleep.

My husbsnd and had been tring for 10 months. Ive never had a regular period. I'd taken test before thinking I was pregnant but they were all neg. Then I noticed my boobs are growing again. My husband jokingly said to go take a test in the morning. And I did and I met him at the front door after he took out the garbage and he almost fainted. When we went to the doctor they said we were 6 weeks. We are so excited and cant wait to find out what we are having.

I had been exhausted and had a sore, achy body for a week before I even missed my period.. Well about 4 months into my current relationship I started feeling so exhausted and sore, to the point of napping, which I never do. My boyfriend already had a daughter and he swore I was pregnant. I kept telling him I hadn't even missed my period yet, just because you have a a child doesn't make you an expert! Well that was for a week and then I missed my period. I still was adamant that I wasn't pregnant because I've always wanted it so badly I just knew it wasn't going to happen for me. I finally bought a test after 2 weeks of denial just to shut him up. Now 40 weeks later in due this Saturday! So I had symptoms and my boyfriend knew a week before I ever missed my period!

I didn't know until I was 13 weeks with my first.. this one ee tried non stop for 8months then gave up. I was so tired and hadn't missed my period I was just curious so I took a test and it said positive. I was shocked, excited, and scared all at the same time. It took me a few hours to calm down before I could tell anyone

I was 3 weeks late so I went to walmart to get a test. I also bought pads cause I thought there was no way. Get home take the test. As I was about to set it down before I looked at it I caught a glimpse of it. It was positive before I could even set it down. My boyfriend was at work at the time cause I didn't want to tell him because I knew it would be negative. I was so wrong lol

I only took a test cause all the girls at work were teasing me about being pregnant cause i wasn't feeling well. I told them i wasn't, and cause my bf was working down south i said to him they were teasing me. I had no symptoms other than being exhausted, although i put that down to tin management position id not long started, and two days of feeling yucky. He told me to take a vest and call him back. So i took one, then i took  6 more lol. And i was scared to tell him in case he shouted at me so i text him a pic of all 7 positives lol. Got am appointment next week to book in and scan next again week (since we had no idea how far along i was - the pill i was on stopped all periods) showed us to be 13+5 lol x
