that you are pregnant? I brought this up in another thread but didn't really get any responses so I thoght I'd make my own. I have a feeling that I'm pregnant. I don't have morning sickness and I haven't missed a period (my next one is not due till next week). I recently went off the pill (mainly for health reasons) . My husband and I have been using the "pull-out" method and I've been trying to follow my charting, but the first couple of times we had sex right after my period and right after I went off the pill, we were unprotected. I was so sure I got pregnant that I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Still I couldn't shake the feeling that I was. Part of me thinks that I got so excited about the possibility of being pregnant that my mind has got a bit obsessive about it. Anyway I then heard that those tests don't really work until the first couple days after you miss your period. That's next week for me, but I'm having trouble waiting, especially because I'm not sure if I should start cutting out alcohol and caffeine yet or not. Any insight would be much appreciated.
hmm. i didn't know the first time i was. i was kind of a dunce about it. my grandmother knew and shared with me. the second time i knew because i drank a small bit of wine and puked it right up. also, my body just felt different. i took the test and went to the doc to take one too, and they both showed neg. i had to wait 2 weeks until i had missed my period and stuff for him to retest. and low and behold, i was. ha!
I got pregnant from the "pull-out" method. Are you hoping for a positive test? I 'just knew"....it was very strange. My body felt a bit foreign -if that makes sense. I also was beginning to notice things like baby diper commercials and anything related to babies somehow grabbed my attention. I dunno, I think when you "just know", you just Know. I also had a strange feeling the night I concieved. I thought "I just got pregnant tonight" but I brushed it off and then a month later around the time my period was due (but never came) I just knew I was.
I just knew because the day after conception my boobs started to hurt and I just felt different. I did a pregnancy test the day my period was due i.e. At 4 weeks and it was positive. Good luck, love and peace x
if nothing else, wait 9 months-if something comes out, you were pregnant. if something comes out in 2 years, you're an elephant.
We're not really trying but I wouldn't mind if it was positive. My friend and her husband used the "pull out" method for 4 years and the one time they didn't they got pregnant so I guess it works for some people. Anyway I have the same feelings, my body feels different, I notice everything that has to do with babies, I had that same thought about "I just got pregnant". I guess I won't know till next week when my period's due. Although we talk about waiting a few months before trying to conceive, we would both be happy to be pregnant whenever it happens. Thanks for your replies.
It's hard to say. For years I would think I was pregnant when I wasn't. It even effected my periods (I wouldn't get a period until after a negative test). When I got pregnant with my son, however, there were signs. I had really bad vertigo and my ankles were very swollen. Both of which are unusual for me. I just knew I was pregnant even though a test said "negative." I finally took a pregnancy test again and it was positive. This time I had these bumps show up on my feet. I had the same bumps durring the early part of my pregnancy with my son. So, I knew I was pregnant again. I actually knew before that but the bumps confirmed it (and so did a pregnancy test). We used the pull out method for the longest time and it worked for us. We were trying for a baby both times we got pregnant (not actively trying, just not using the pull out method anymore and enjoying ourselves. ) Good luck hon. let us know when you find out for sure. And RELAX. You'll know soon enough.
Thank you for this. I realized I should stop stressing myself out about this or it will affect my periods. I just won't think about it until it happens (or doesn't). Hey, I noticed you live in San Diego. I live in Ocean Beach. It's cool to hear from someone in the same area.
Oh too cool. I LOVE OB. I wish we could afford it. I do go there sometimes. Unfortunatly we live way down in Chula Vista. *hugs* Jessie
I just New, My first was 4 weeks late, I always had a gut feeling I was, and with my Daughter, I woke up the day of my missed period and spouted off her name, I have always been intuned with my body, however coming off of the Pill messes it up ALOT! and can confuse you, I recently was 100% sure I was preg(Thank god I was wrong) but I was extremely stressed out and my hormones were Crazy! (it didnt help My Sister in Law is preg and Im around her alot) I sometimes get Sympathy pregnancy stuff, I feel nauciouse, and back aches, i pee constantly... Blarg....
Well, I'm not pregnant. My period came today. I guess I was "so sure" because the thought of it actually happening got me so excited, but my period came exactly on time. Going off the pill didn't mess anything up except for making me hormonal about having a baby and I'm getting the most awful cramps. Anyway, thanks for all of your input. I guess when it's the right time, it will happen.
I have only REALLY known once and I was right. Right after I was raped I knew. I don't know how, but I did. I've had the feeling again since then and I wasn't, but it wasn't a strong conviction like that, just nerves.
yeah being preg makes me so freaking tired, thats one way i could tell when i got preg with my son..................
