Have you ever been knocked up? Share, please!

LittleSpy

Please answer the following questions for my sanity's sake. :laugh:

1. What were your first symptoms of pregnancy (I'm okay with tmi)?

2. How far along were you when you tested positive on a home pregnancy test?

Thank you! I'm losing my mind right now and I need some affirmation (or not).

newman84

funkyspunky871

Definitely never been knocked up, but omg, Little Spy! Thinking about a baby, huh? Um... Congrats? Or not. :ohwell:

Jenks

My boobs hurt the first week, super tender.
By the second week I was feeling quesy, and by the 3rd week I was taking a pregnancy to prove a girl from work wrong :laugh:
She wasn't wrong.
I was completely surprised because I wasn't supposed to be able to have kids :noway:

VeryKerri

HORRIBLE cramping!! Eating everything in site!!! I tested myself the day I was supposed to be TOM and it didn't come.

Sumatra

Both times I've been pregnant, the first real symptoms were my being highly emotional. Both times I cried and cried about some little trivial thing that would normally not matter at all normally.

With both of my pregnancies I was very sick from about 6 weeks until the day I gave birth...I hope, if you are pregnany, you do NOT experience this, it's horrible!

buffalogal1979

1. none until WAY after a test was/would have been positive, then very tired and fatigued.
2. 9 days post O

Good luck!

Never been "knocked up" (giggles), but wishing you the best in what ever you are wanting.

I think this is the wrong place to either confirm or dispell a pregnancy. A trip to the doctor ASAP is in order, not some sketchy advice from a bunch of people trying to get fit.

I know you're probably about too have a panic attack - no advice from us will calm your nerves.

For the love of God, get to a doctor.

circusmom

all of my pregnancies were the same:
1. sore breasts, so bad it hurt if my hubby even looked at them
2. cramping like I was going to start my period, but no period
3. emotional about the stupidest things

I had all these symptoms before I had missed my period.

themommie

I was extremely emotional, sore breasts immediately, nausea almost immediately, throwing up at about 3 weeks along , I was extremely tired right away, just wanted to sleep. I tested positive within 4weeks. Hope it works out whichever way you are hoping

EmilyV80

Cramps where my only symptom for a while. I got a negative at 11 days past O and a positive 14 days past O with my daughter. I got a positive at 10 days past O with my son. It was very very light though.

SassyMissDasha

1. What were your first symptoms of pregnancy (I'm okay with tmi)? nipples sore, really irritable and emotional, crying, craving weird foods, sensitive to smells

2. How far along were you when you tested positive on a home pregnancy test? i was 4 weeks along for all my 3 tests
my last pregnancy was crazy, I tested like 10 times with a regular EPT test and it was negative, I even went to a free clinic and theirs was negative, then I got one of those Clear Blue Easy Digital ..and sure enough, it was BFP! (on Valentine's Day even)

Good luck with whatever decision you want it to be!

JJs25th

1) Breast were swollen and tender -- and blood vessels in mu upper chest were very visable -- looked like an interstate map! Fatigue and indegestion (not morning sickness).

2) Didn't test postivive on an EPT till about 4 months along. Though I understand tests have gotten better..

My doctor's office kept refusing to make an apointment "until I passed an EPT". After feeling so bad for over a month I finaly told the woman that if I wasn't pregnant I was dying and still needed the appointment -- she finally made it for me.

To complicate my situation I had bleeding at the end of my first month of pregnancy that looked and acted just like TOM. They have a fancy medical term for this, it is rare, but it does happen.

suzyanne

Yup, emotional, and sore breasts started about a week before my TOM was due. Not so bad on the cramping. nausea started about 6 weeks in. a HPT should likely be positive by the time your TOM is due...but stranger things have happened.

I think she's just asking for some friendly advice...:flowerforyou:

countrymama08

Most doctors will tell you to pee on a stick at this stage. Many don't want to see you until you are about 6-8 weeks. I was emotional but figured it was right before my period so I passed it off as that. Then I was getting irritated at the little things at work. It was the day I TOM was due so I picked up a pregnancy test on the way home. POAS and got a faint line. A line is a line but I still tested again the next morning.

If you are due TOM, go ahead and test. It will put your mind at ease one way or another. I tested last month since I was 2 days late.

ETA- like a previous poster, I was sick from about 11 weeks until she was born. I don't wish that on anyone.

<snip> I wish you luck and hope it works out in your favor...whichever direction that is! :flowerforyou:

I don't know which direction that is anymore either. :laugh:

Okay, the situation is this.
Wasn't trying to conceive. But honestly dh and I have been doing our best trying NOT to conceive, either. TOM's a week late. Never ever ever ever ever have I been late. Ever. Seriously. Ever. I have regularly been a 20-22 day cycle girl. Then after eating healthier & exercising for a couple months, last year I changed to a 26-27 day cycle girl. It's been 34 days. I also have several symptoms that could very well be early signs of pregnancy (cramping, bloating, waves of nausea, fatigue, and one more involving tmi ).

Totally pregnant, right? Well, I'm testing negative. I'm thinking it could still be too early for me to show positive. But while playing the waiting game, I'm beginning to lose my marbles. I don't want to jump too soon and get a blood test because I want to know FOR SURE I'm not pregnant before I resume my normal lifestyle (there's some major beer drinking on hold right now. ).

fxdl2k2

HPT positive at about 4.5 to 5 weeks past LMP. No symptoms until about 5 - 6 weeks along and mine was morning sickness.

A doctor isn't always the answer. It would be a waste of time and money to go this soon. I'm not about to have a panic attack. I just wanted to hear from some real women who aren't in my real life.

Let it be known I will be neither "confirming" nor "dispelling" pregnancy with the replies I receive here. :laugh:

You need to be at least a week into the pregnancy for it to show up on a test even a blood test, I was about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks when I first tested, but I knew I was before I tested.
Also don't freak out yet, there are many reasons other than pregnancy to miss your period, have tender breasts, or nausea. If you have already missed your period than you should be far enough along to take a home test.
Good luck I hope everything works out the way you want it to.

heather62803

I went through this a couple months ago TOM was playing a cruel joke on me and ended up being 10 days late.

When I was prego the first symptoms were moodiness, tender breasts, and very very tired. I tested around 4 wks with first born - negative - 10 days later positive:noway: With my youngest we were trying so I tested the exact day TOM was supposed to arrive with a positive result Good Luck to you and may you have peace in whatever is in store for you!!!

Behavior_Modification

Never been preggo, but enjoyed reading the posts for my future reference. Littlespy you've done SO well with your weight loss too! If you are indeed preggo at least you've got a rockin' healthy body to carry the baby in now. :flowerforyou:

catnrnd45

Never been "knocked up". Pregnant twice. Agree with get to a doctor ASAP. Even if you had every symptom it could still just be a hystrical pregnancy. First symptom both times breasts got so large I couldn' look down & see my feet.
My father actually told me 4 days after I concieved the first time. My dentist told me @ 4 weeks that my gums looked pregnant. On the 2nd one I wen't in for my yearly and Doc told me he couldn't renew my birth control 'cause I was 6 weeks.

Stress will play havoc with your cycle too. Wish you get the result you want, just remember all things happen to us in life for a reason.

FunkBunny

Little Spy...I was a day or two late both times I took home tests and they came back positive. (one of them was even a #1 store el cheap-o!) You can get some that are so sensitive that they can tell before you're actually late! But most, not all, will be acurate enough to give you an answer at the point you're at now.
As for symptoms...late period, all the normal PMS symptoms, just no period and also WICKED fatigue. I usullay have insomnia but when I get pregnant I am out like a light! Never had morning sickenss with either pregnancy, so none of that for me.

Congrats, hope this is an unexpected blessing fo ryou and your hubs!
If you're testing negative right now, wait a day and test again, and try a different brand. If in a week you're still late, see your doctor incase it's something else going on.

(((HUGS))) and well wishes!

fowlmeli1093

Don't knock a girl for asking for some advice...isn't that the reason for these forums in the first place? It's not expert advice..think we all are aware of that.

With that said..I found out I was preggers with a test about a week after I was late for my period..my cycles are always messed up too, but my home pregnancy test showed positive. I didn't have any symptoms at that time though; those came about three weeks later.
Good luck with which ever way it goes!

LittleSpy

Thank you all so much for your answers!!

For some reason I feel a need to justify why I'm NOT running to a doctor. And actually, I feel like my intelligence has been insulted by the insinuation I'm looking for professional medical advice regarding pregnancy on the "chit chat" board of a weight loss website. :laugh:
Anyway, it's very early. If I am pregnant, I wouldn't even be 5 weeks along (which would be like 2-3 weeks after conception). So I know it's possible that's why I'm not showing up on the urine tests. My symptoms are not alarming in any way. If I were having severe cramps or severe nausea or severe fatigue along with no TOM, yes, I'd want to go to the doctor ASAP.

But for now, I see no harm in waiting it out a little longer. If I don't test positive on a hpt by Saturday after next (which would be 6 weeks for me) and TOM hasn't shown up, I plan to schedule a blood test. If that comes back negative I'm going to assume I'm not pregnant. Then if I miss another TOM, I plan to schedule an appt. with my gyn. :flowerforyou:

JStarnes

1. The obvious missed period - no other signs of PG.
2. I'm OCD about TOM being on time so I tested positive at home 4 days after the first missed period.

(this was the case with both kids)
