I know that my question might better fit into some sort of forum but I get such quick responses here I thought it might be best. I'm a few days from my period and have reasons to believe I may be pregnant. I'm terrified and I seem to be all over the map about my emotions and the way my body feels. I thought it might be helpful if I could hear from others how you knew you were pregnant. Signs/symptoms. What clued you in?

Well this is my fourth month going on and I think i felt something inside me right from day one as it had had some special psychological effect on me. My husband had to leave for his duty the next day and i was getting this inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness maybe related to motherhood and bearing a child of someone whom you love that i didn't let him sleep at all.
In real sense, i was comfirmed after taking a pregnancy test during the days when i was expecting my periods. I used to feel hunger pangs during odd hours, cravings for some special foods, felt fatigued quite often, always wanted to lie down and had lost some weight too.
I would advise you to take the pregnancy test. There are various kits available in the market which can be used at home and wish you a great time in going through this greatest joy in a woman's life.

My husband and I were told that we couldn't have any children after 8 1/2 years of trying we just gave up. I decided to go on a diet with co-workers and while on this diet I gained 1 pound and was so mad that I gain that one pound. I didn't think any thing until I was with my girlfriend shopping and I was get hot and cold flashes and she mentioned to me that I may be pregnant. She knew and I knew that I couldn't be. About another week passed on and I still didn't have my period but that was not unusal for me because I had unregular periods. I was about 2 weeks late when my one girlfriend said that I should take a pregnacy test. We both laughed about it but I did and it was positive. I called the fertility clinic and they drew me up a blood test to make sure I was and that afternoon they called me back and said I was! Then in 2 1/2 years later I got pregnant with my second child and then 2 1/2 years later I got pregnant with my third child. With the last two pregnancies I was tired and very sick....(girls) with My first one being a boy and I never had any morning sickness or any trouble with that pregnancy.

In all honesty, we had been trying to get pregnant for almost a year. I had given up completely on the idea, when one morning my 4 year old stepson who had climbed into bed with me the night before rolled over in his sleep and said"I want a little brother"
And then rolled back over. 3 days later on New Years Eve I took a pregnancy test before we went out. Sure enough...I was pregnant. On April 12th though my son was very upset when the lady doing the ultrasound said "its a girl" He said.."uh...but I want abrother" and did not talk to me for almost an hour. (he's very excited now though. My due date is the 22nd)
But since I got way off the purpose of your question...I didn't have any symptoms until I was almost 8.5 weeks. Then I just got horrible headaches and an upset tummy every single day about 7 pm. (Now I have every symptom that I should've showed then)\
Good Luck and Congrats if you are!!

I realized with my first one that I was pregnant when I took those pills that give you energy (i don't remember what they were called) but my breasts started to itch really badly. That's how I figured out my first one. My second one, I was using the basal temperature thing, when my temp rose, i knew i was pregnant. As for my third, I had a really weird period and told my husband on New Years Day i was pregnant and yes i was. As for my fourth I had no clue. and with my fifth it was because i missed my period.

I knew I was pregnant when my period was 2 days late because it usually came the same time every month. Then my boobs got all sensitive and I started feeling sick to my stomach.

All of my pregnancies I was tired and my boobs swelled and were really tender. If you are only a week from your period, take a home pregnancy test. With both of my kids and with my miscarriage I knew I was pregnant before I ever missed my period.

I knew I was pregnant even though my home test said negative...I kept urinating frequently and my breast were sore like over night, at the end of the week I tested again and it said positive.

I knew with my first because I didn't have my period...we were trying to get pg... she made me so sick that I could NOT cook raw meat.. I hated the smell of it...
With the second... I knew when I was a week pg, becuase the morning sickness was SOO bad..

well...with my first one...I KNEW....even the doctor said i wasn't, came back 4 days later and it was positive.
the second one, i wasn't paying attention.
this third one....i had been having nightmares about my kids and water. i woke up (i hadn't even missed my period yet) took a test and wala! it was positive.
STOP STRESSING!!! stressing is another factor for not getting periods. calm down. you will know in a few days
