Whendidy'allknow?
Posted: 12-03-05 11:51am

Okay, so I think I might be preg, but I don't really keep tract of my periods so i'm not sure if i've missed one yet....I was just wondering when you guys first realized you were prego. Did you have symptoms right away? Or did it not kick in till like ur 2nd month...??
Thanks

The symptoms I had were the same as if I were going to get my period: mild bloating, face broke out a bit, tired, increased appetite. The only difference was our dog. She kept sniffing and licking me. That made me a bit suspicious. She could smell my preganancy hormonal change before any of us even knew! So these symptome were a week before my period was due, just like normal, but my period week came and no period.

Yes, the dogs will know. My pup is going crazy. He licks my belly. The other day we made a noise like a kitty or something--he thought it was the baby he freaked out.
Trying to climb up in my lap and stuff. He thought something wrong with the baby.

Yes you can get preg symptoms really early. I knew right away with 4 outta the 10 pregnancy's I have had.

Good luck

Just Found Out
Posted: 12-03-05 12:25pm

I just found out a week ago we are preg with our first, and I knew on thanksgiving day (i wasn't supposed to start until 2 days later)...I was really dizzy and could just tell something was different. I took a test the next morning, and it was positive!! Good luck

10 pregnancy!!!! Wow!
Um...Is it possible not to have any symptoms until a month or two in??
Because I dunno, it doesn't seem like i'm having ang symptoms but its been over 4 weeks since my period and I usually get it every 3 weeks (i don't know exact days when it comes but usually about that I figure..)

Yes, it is possible to not have any defining symptoms until later on. Every woman is different. Other than what I described in my previous post, I didn't feel pregnant at all until the 6th week hit. Then all hell broke loose! When week 6 came I had constant nausea/vomitting from morning 'til night, and so tired I could hardly keep my eyes open. The nausea/vomitting lasted until about week 13. I am still dealing with the tiredness, but it isn't quite as severe as it was in those other weeks.

:lol: sorry s.J.. If it is of any comfort you should know I didn't have any sickness at all with my first pregnancy. Thinking back, (it has been nearly 14 years) all I had was tiredness and increased appetite. I guess you could call this time around "payback"!

yes that is also possible, some women never get any symptoms, or very few symptoms. Every woman is different as is every pregnancy.

I myself had to wait until 3 weeks past the missed period to get pos on the urine test.

I was young with my first pregnancy (15), and irregular with my periods. With the combination of the two I didn't know I was pregnant until between 4 and 5 months when the baby started kicking. No symptoms really, except the tiredness and increased appetite. I had thought those were because of my typical teenage schedule. Highly active in softball, and late nights.

Now with this one I suspected when the dog wouldn't leave me alone. When my bf (now hubby) and I decided to have kids I quit my pill. We were told it could take a while to happen. The wedding was planned for october. I went ahead and quit my pill in july. My period was july 12th through 16th or 17th. I didn't start my pills again that sunday the 17th like I normally would.

Because I was off the pill I didn't want to drink if pregnant. I tested at least twice a week from that point on since we had sex every day. All the tests came back negative until I had missed my period. I should have gotten my period by august 9th. With the dog acting funny I tested august 11th. It was very very faint, but positive. I then had it confirmed at the health department for free, with the same results. Very very faint, but positive. I most likely got pregnant around july 26th.

Yes We Were Ttc
Posted: 12-03-05 15:03pm

I have endometriosis, so we weren't sure if we could conceive at all, and we conceived on our first cycle of clomid. It truly is a miracle, and we are very happy!!

Good luck with everything
