First of all, I already know the common symptoms and that if I suspect that i'm pregnant, i should take a test...yaddah yaddah yaddah...what i want to know is, i've heard that some women just know that they're pregnant before their missed period, have any of you dealt with that? And what did you exprience before you missed your period?

I think you can be COMPLETELY in tune with your body and still not realize that you are pregnant. The changes going on in your body during the first month are microscopic, and only if your symptoms are way more intense than the average woman's will they become noticeable.
I think some women are good at guessing, personally. I have known many women who swore they were pregnant, only to get their periods a few days later. If they had been right, they would have been crowing about "being sure of it in advance", but they weren't, so I think it is usually due more to good guessing than intuition or symptoms.
That said, I do think some women just know in advance. Maybe they are a little bit psychic or maybe they just have really reliable fertility, but whatever the case, I think this is the exception and not the norm.

I knew I was pregnant before I missed a period with both of my pregnancies. With the first, I couldn't really say what tipped me off. I just subconsciously knew that I was pregnant. I went out a week before my period and bought a pregnancy test, Then the first day of my missed period, I took the test and it was positive. It was just a feeling I had within me.
With my second pregnancy I noticed a few symptoms that I had experienced during my first pregnancy: craving spicy food, my face was breaking out a little. So (again) I tested the first day of my missed period...and positive!

yes i always knew before my missed period i think if your very intune with your body you notice all these stupid little things that just let you know my tummy always felt different i got extremly dry skin my nails always get stronger for some reason i don't get it i can never grow them and them i get pregnant and bam i have beautiful nails amongst other things like weird cravings and maybe abit of nausea and heart burn or just tired of if some one is drinking it makes me feel like puking if they breath on me lol you'll notice little things with you too but i think its easier to just know if you are not trying it seems if you are trying for baby your body can trick you into thinking you are preg even though your not its crazy but it happens to almost everyone trying
oh yah and a pretty good test is to go by someone smoking it was always my first clue if the smell of cigarettes made me sick

honey...i just wanted to say: maybe some women just "know" when they're pregnant...but from personal experience, in months previous, i have also just "known" and had what i thought were all the symptoms and then...my dreaded period showed up :(
our bodies are soooo mysterious, aren't they?
hope this helps and hope you get the answer you are looking for!

Before i missed my period i had a feeling i was pregnant because my nipples became so sensitive that I developed scabs on them from my bra....and I couldn't stand to drink my favorite pepsi.........it tasted like crap to me.

I felt bouts of sickness very early on. I would be fine, then suddenly feel sick, then it would be gone just as fast.
And I could feel in my abdomen, about where my ovaries are, it was really hard.
