mazjam   10 #14 Posted January 3, 2009 Hi, I wonder if any of you had any pregnancy symptoms before you could take a pregnancy test. Is it possible to know before a missed period? I feel a strange "pulling" pain, I don't know how to put it, it's as if somebody was pulling a little string just behind my navel. It can't be... can it? Apart from that, I haven't felt my usual period pains, which tend to start a good few days before any bleeding appears.  Oh, I bet it's nothing. But out of curiosity, can you really tell you are pregnant this early, or is it just wishful thinking that makes you imagine something is going on inside you?   With my daughter, 10 years ago I felt I had a virus. my doctor was constantly saying he thought i was pregnant, he was one of those. We had been trying so I did a test before I went. it was positive. I started to bleed the next day, was sent for a scan, and was 7 days pregnant (TV scan showed a 2mm cystic space!). This time my boobs were sore at what I consider to be 2 weeks after conception (unless my last period occurred whilst i was pregnant). the continuing symptoms led to a positive test at 3 1/2 weeks.  WARNING you may not be taken seriously until 8 weeks, so don't expect sudden responses from a doctor or midwife if something goes wrong before then. I an 7 weeks, have been bleeding since 3 1/2 weeks and have only just got a scan date to check things are OK.  Good luck all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jellybellybean   10 #16 Posted January 21, 2009 I only tested because I was a week late (we'd only been trying a month though so didn't expect it to be positive!) I never had a metalic taste in my mouth and felt perfectly normal until I was about 8-10 weeks gone, it was then I started feeling sick, tired and dizzy. But up until that stage if i hadn't have tested i'd have had no idea what so ever I was pregnant! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Zebra   10 #17 Posted January 22, 2009 I ate a whole jar of pickled onions and then tested having realised how out of character that was, came up positive 3 days before my period was due Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hanskiz   10 #18 Posted January 23, 2009 I know it sounds silly but I 'just knew'. I did the test about 4 days before I was due and sure enough... Now 28 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
