pregnancy - how early did you know?

pinkskyatnight

it seems to silly posting this thread but im trying to put my mind at rest!
not trying for a baby at all. but had sex with condom new years eve and new years day. nothing seemed wrong when we took it off etc. but yesterday my mum hugged me and my boobs were so sore i yelped and had to stand back. i thought it was wierd as i normally get sore breasts around a week before my period but my period isnt due for another 2 weeks. i have an app on my phone and when we did the deed was during my 'fertile window'. so sore breasts, feeling very hungry and today feeling slightly off colour. surely you wouldnt get signs like this this early on? am i trying to make myself believe that i am?!?!?!
help please!

Hi hun. The only way really is to take a pregnancy test - a first responce may pick up a possitive now if you were (a cheaper brand may not). I think i found out 9 days after my fertile window x

I would do a test, it does sound like you could be, my tender boobs were the first thing that made me do a test with my first baby. (amazing the body prepares so thoroughly, so early on!).
Good luck. ~(how would you feel if you are? you sound quite hopeful)

i found out about 12 days after sex that i was pregnant, wasn't trying but i had higher temp than normal and lower back pain - not normal symptoms but its what i get when im pregnant and i did the clear blue digital and it said 1 week pregnant.

test is the easiest way to find out and yes some people do know early as they are very intune with their body thats what i think anyway

With hindsight, pretty early I guess. Being pregnant makes alcohol and the smell of smoke intolerable to me. I think vomiting after consuming a small amount of alcohol was a clue... but not a very overt one. In the grand scheme of things, if I wasn't actively trying to get pregnant at the time, it could just have easily been food poisoning or 'flu.

Your symptoms are inconclusive, so I would definitely take a pregnancy test to confirm.

My cycles are regular, so next day I should have had period, I taken a test and was positive. I suspected earlier, because I had... spots on face. As a teenager I had a terrible acne and sometimes it still occurs , when hormones are on high.

To be honest unless you have very long cycles and have a long luteal phase (the time between ovulation and your period) it probably wasn't the optimum time to conceive when you had unprotected sex. If you aren't due on for a fortnight I guess you had sex about a week after your period? Generally speaking we ovulate 2 weeks after cycle day 1 which is the first day of your period. Of course there is a chance and the best way to find out is to test (however, you are unlikely to get a positive until 12-14 days past ovulation, if you test too soon you may get a false negative). This is all moot if you do not have a regular cycle however :-)

With my 3rd baby I would say within 2 weeks!!! and I knew the sex!!!
With my son i went mad for fruit!!
When I was expecting my eldest DD I couldnt be near anyone who had been drinking booze, I couldnt eat chicken or chocolate!!!
I mentioned it to my mum, who said was the same with her!!
on top of that I also got the taste for pepperami!!! And I had hated it before!
When we tried for no3... within 2 weeks my boobs were sore, I just wanted pepperami and ex had been out for a night, and gave me a kiss - one whiff of the whiskey and I was sick!!!

youngest DD was born almost to the day the first scan suggested..lol
