I was in complete shock seeing that positive test. I had no symptoms whatsoever, and my temp had dropped a little so I was sure I wasn't pregnant.<BR/><BR/>The month before I conceived #2, I was absolutely sure I was pregnant. Felt nauseated, etc., and just *knew*, or thought I did.

In my second year, I never thought I was pregnant, and never was. In my IUI cycles, I didn't know what to think, and I wasn't pregnant. In my first IVF cycle, I knew I wasn't pregnant. And in my second IVF cycle, I knew that I was. And I was. So the only time that I really "knew" it, it was true, but I already had a negative IVF cycle to compare it to, so I knew that things were very different. I still think it was more than that, though. It's hard to explain, but for the first time in over two years, I felt hopeful when I took the test.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747382929049494704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457048610587099176.post-86365704402468944152008-09-20T23:35:00.000-04:002008-09-20T23:35:00.000-04:003 rounds of IVF - first time I was sure it worked,...3 rounds of IVF - first time I was sure it worked, until AF came to visit 2 days before my test. 2nd time I had no idea and I got a BFN, 3rd time I was sure it didn't work and I ended up PG with Twins.

Because our minds are so powerful, my body began to feel pregnant. Extremely tired, boobs hurt, etc....only to find out on day 28 that I was not pregnant. When IVF worked for us, I had no idea I was pregnant, we were hoping, until I took my first test. I had become cautiously optimistic after all the let down, and was happy to find out at the end I was pregnant.<BR/>Em<BR/>Counting down the days...Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547030849504762804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457048610587099176.post-49429684036036931282008-09-19T18:10:00.000-04:002008-09-19T18:10:00.000-04:00Wow - you're getting some great feedback!

So try not to obsess too much.

Then I would absolutely HAVE to know and I'd go buy a test and take it. Every time I've thought I WASN'T pregnant and I just planned on taking the test to ease my mind. I've done that at least 10 times in my life and been pregnant 3 of them. So, nope, no intuition there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166875964870812562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457048610587099176.post-16935338247253436482008-09-19T15:22:00.000-04:002008-09-19T15:22:00.000-04:00I'm going to say NO!

I remember when I found out I was pregnant with Luke your sister figured it out before me! I was dizzy one day at school and she said I bet you're pregnant. I was like no way, that's not possible. Well on the way home I bought a test and sure enough she was right. No fertility issues though I hate to say that to you. My heart hurts for you because I can see how badly you and Nick want this and I want it to work out for you so much. I look for you daily updates so keep them coming! I think you are handling this VERY well. I hope the next 6 days FLY!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493994243641938566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457048610587099176.post-16901049861822023262008-09-19T14:34:00.001-04:002008-09-19T14:34:00.001-04:00I know I can answer this honestly on behalf of my ...I know I can answer this honestly on behalf of my wife.<BR/><BR/>We have issues, well one really, no bloody baby. <BR/><BR/>Unexplained infertility is the current official line.<BR/><BR/>For the last 18 attempts I know my wife thought she might be pregnant, and never once was.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044403947730363259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457048610587099176.post-69845534759925175792008-09-19T14:34:00.000-04:002008-09-19T14:34:00.000-04:00I wish I could answer your question but I'm actual...I wish I could answer your question but I'm actually at the moment wondering the same thing myself after our first IUI!

But it's true! I felt pretty and happy and womanly. I had several "good hair days" and "nice skin days" in a row there, and all of a sudden it was like, when was the last time I had my period? Oh.

So there are issues.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea how to answer your questions, because I have never had a positive pregnancy test.<BR/><BR/>I can tell you from reading alot of IF blogs... PG syptoms often mimic AF symptoms, so I do know quite a few people who were shocked. I'm sure there are people who 'just know'... but off the top of my head I can't think of examples.<BR/><BR/>I think the longer a person deals with IF, they try not to set themselves up for a positive PG test, as it protects them (a bit) from the upset of a negative test.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14494920071338607649noreply@blogger.com
