with First Response, you can test up to 9 days early for an accurate result - so in answer to your question how early will you know, 9 days Get down the chemist, pronto!

I'd dispute the word accurate! According to the First Response website if you test 6 days before your period, the test is only 62 percent likely to give you a positive if you are in fact pregnant, so the accuracy 9 days beforehand would be a lot lower than this. The high accuracy rates of 99 percent which all tests quote only apply from the date your period is due, they are all much less accurate if you test early.

With regards to first response I used one 2 days before missed period and got a BFN, not even a faint line nothing. But I went on to miss that period and the next one , but it does say on the back of first response that results do vary and some people to get a positive up to 6 days before missed period and others dont.I wouldnt waste my money personally but thats after experience

With my first I didn't realise till I was over 10 weeks. Felt faintly sick and tired but that was all.

With my second I knew almost instantly and started being sick only a few days after conception and kept going till about 24 weeks. I tested about a week before I was due and got a positive.

With my third I 'thought' I had a minera and had flu. About 1 week late I started wondering at 2 weeks late I did a test.

You can test now if you like. But do bear in mind that while you won't get a false positive, you may get a false negative right now. So if it was a negative you would have to retest to be sure. A positive is a positive but a negative is still a 'maybe'.

2nd time at just 1 week

How does that work then? Since they count you from your last period hence you are 2 weeks 'pregnant' before conception (for dating purposes)

So you feeling pregnant would actually mean you felt pregnant days before you actually fell pregnant?

I remember 'just knowing' I was pregnant, before I even did a test.

I felt sick, had reaaaally sore boobs and went off alcohol. Fairly quickly afterwards I went off coffee and tea (VERY strange for me!) and my sense of smell went mental, was actually very unpleasant as I couldn't cook anything, and found it hard to find stuff I fancied to eat. I kept gagging at stuff as well. Oh and the horrendous TIREDNESS. We went for a day out the weekend or so before we found out and I fell asleep on the drive back. OH said after he thought it was a sure bet I was pregnant then. I found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks (so 4 weeks actually pregnant, then you add on 2 weeks) so pretty early, but I just knew it in my head.

Good luck!

Think Loopy means foetal age and not gestational age.

So 1 week after conception - 1 week by foetal age but by gestation, 3 weeks pregnant.

That is how I understood it since she did mention that it would have been 3 days after conception.

my best friend didnt find out until she was six months, :eek:she had morning sickness but thought she had labyrinthitis, went on a ski ing holiday, a few big nights out and lo and behold baby is now 6 months and the best surprise ever

She had what she thought was a series of very light periods, it was only when she felt very recognisably what turned out to be baby kicking did she think uh oh....lol she's dippy but we didn't think that dippy!

My boss's DIL never knew she was pregnant. She'd felt unwell and had even been twice to the doctors but somehow nobody realised. She is quite a 'chunky lass (my boss's words!) and put on a bit of weight but apparently not enough to be suspicious. She only ever had light periods anyway and this continued. They were all going out for a family meal when she said she felt really poorly and in the end said she had to leave the meal to go home, collapsed on getting up from her chair so was taken to hospital and within an hour she'd given birth. I'd read about these things but thsi was the first I'd ever heard first hand from somebody it had happened to. I know the family and they're all very normal, intelligent people, so if it could happen to them....!

Sorry for confusion - I do actually mean 1 week but my cycle's not normal. I'm not 2 weeks pregnant before conception because I ovulate a lot earlier than most women.

My period started on Thursday, stopped on Sunday and I ovulated on Monday. I know when I ovulate, it's incredibly painful. I've got Polycystic ovaries. I was keeping a diary for the consultant and he was just about to prescribe clomid.

I conceived on that Monday evening and started being sick on the Thursday (at my sister's birthday party). So I was 1 week pregnant, because it was 1 week from the date my period started. This was confirmed when I went for my scan and they changed my due date from the 27th to the 17th, because I ovulated ten days earlier than most people do. This happened with each of my pregnancies (the date being changed by ten days I mean, not the 'knowing at 1 week pregnant).

Most women would not ovulate on day 4 in their cycle though! I saw the doctor mid-cycle and said I'd been sick for a week and she said I couldn't possibly know so early, and that we had to wait for 2 weeks for a pregnancy test. Maybe I was so desperate for a baby that I imagined things, but I was right
