How did you find out that you were expecting?

Hi
On both pregnancies it was a missed period, then I knew I might be pregnant as my cycle was a strict 28 days and never late nor short.
I have been trying for 8 years so after 3 BFP I Still could not believe it until I did a scan and saw my little peanut.
Then all my symptoms came,esp the nausea.

I got off the pill in November and conceived a few weeks afterwards... I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. My first sign was nausea and how I couldn't stand that smell or sight of chicken which happens to be my favourite... I took a test on New Years Eve and got a BFP

My cycle had been out of whack. After going off the pill I had cycles which were almost 6 weeks in duration follwed by exactly 4 week cycles for four consecutive cycles. Then I thought I'd settled on a five week cycle before getting thrown out of whack by a SEVEN week cycle I'd thought that maybe something was happening, but HPT was negative when I tested 5 days before Aunty Flo arrived.
When I visited my gynae for a check up at the beginning of February she thought that my ovaries looks a bit polycystic and she didn't think I was ovulating regularly, casting doubts on conceiving soon.
A week later, I woke up during the night with extreme pain in my lower abdomen. It blurred my vision and made me feel nauseous I skipped work and saw a GP who thought I might have appendicitis. When the pain didn't resolve later in the day, my husband and mother forced me to go to the emergency room. The doctor was going to send me for X-rays when I asked if an ectopic pregnancy was possibly the problem. Assuming that my cycle had been a perfect four weeks, I was one day late.
Instead of peeing on a stick, I peed into a cup and went back to lie down on the bed in my cubicle, my husband there to hold my hand. I was injected for my pain and I waited. The doctor walked into the cubicle and announced that the pregnancy test was positive My husband just about kept his balance as the waves of excitement and joy broke over him .
We went to see my gynae the next day to confirm that my little one had implanted in the right place.
I wrote a blog about the experience: judithregnart.blogspot.com/2015/03/2-lines.html

I was told in September 2013 that I have PCOS and that falling pregnant (should I want to) would be difficult. I was told it wouldn't happen without going onto medication. I wasn't too concerned as we weren't trying to have a baby.

A year later - October 2014 - I had a week or so where every single night I could not get comfortable. I was hot and irritable and felt like I'd never fall asleep. Almost like the inside of me was on fire. My period was about 3 or 4 days late and a work colleague of mine went to buy a pregnancy test. I did the test at 5pm in the evening. 2 DARK lines. And I was only just over 5 weeks then.

So exciting

My 2 eldest daughters (13 & 11) were conceived while I was on the pill.
After my second daughter was born, I had a loop inserted.
The clinic I went to weren't very helpful at all about info on the loop, and told me that as long as I had it checked after 5 years, I shouldn't have to have it changed at all. Big mistake listening to them!
2 years ago I went to the Dr with pain in my abdomen that I can only compare to contractions... The loop had become infected.
My fiance and I were told we'd probably have problems conceiving for a few years, if we were thinking of it.
In between I had 2 chemical pregnancies and 1 MC at about 8 weeks, and we just assumed this was the after effects of the infection from the loop.
In November I was a little late, but as my cycle is anywhere between 26 and 28 days I didn't think anything of it, until a week later and still nothing.
Did a HPT and BFP! Surprised, but wary of course. Went the very next day to the Dr who had blood tests done, and did a scan as well.
Our little miracle is due in August and we're super excited!

My period was late and I craved Salt and Vinegar chips at 9 in the morning. So on Friday afternoon I decided a 3 hour hold is gonna have to do the trick, POAS and faint bfp. Saturday morning POAS again and the line was much more visible. I went for blood tests as well on Saturday, and that just confirmed it 3 - 4 weeks pregnant. Very excited ladies!!

We went to a Fertility Specialist who declared everything fine and gave us 6 months to conceive naturally before starting with any therapy, I just felt off, tired and nauseous and my boobs were super sore so we even did a HPT the morning before going to him for our appointment. Because it tested negative, I though that I was imagining things and maybe just had bad PMS so didn't even tell the doctor.

4 days later and with the next HPT I was indeed pregnant
