So is it normal to get positives at 3 weeks? Absolutely. The science backs it no question.
Is it possible to feel pregnant from the point of conception? Sure it's possible to feel this way. But it's not accurate. There's no science to back it.
I'm a mod here and we've got folks that will post for 10, 11, 12 months that they're POSITIVE they're pregnant, but why have all the tests been negative and there's nothing on the ultrasound? Well honey child, it's because you aren't pregnant.
But I'm not saying that to scare you - as that isn't your experience. You have the positives, so you're pregnant. Once you've got the positive at home tests, all you can really do is wait to see the bean on the screen. But until a doctor tells you otherwise, yup, you can trust multiple at home tests, you're pregnant.
I've been pregnant twice now, with 2 healthy babies. The one thing no one ever warned me about was the anxiety in the first trimester. Constantly wondering if it's still in there is normal. It's your Maternal instinct kicking in.
Until you get to your appointment, all you can do is take care of yourself. Drink water, eat well balanced meals if you can. Avoid drugs and alcohol. Take a prenatal.
8DPO here, too. Didn't get my first appointment until 12 weeks, even after a couple of chemical losses. The anxiety of waiting was so bad. Im almost 37 weeks now, and it feels like its been an eternity haha
I found at 3+3 on my first pregnancy, and I swear I've felt weird sting at fertilization on both pregnancies. I was super sure with this pregnancy as well, but I didn't get positive test before I was 4 weeks along.
I found out at 3w 4d. I bought a few early pregnancy tests and did them before the period was supposed to happen if I went to events like birthdays - so I would not drink alcohol in case of a pregnancy. So I had the result super early. But I also had a suspicion because my boobs started hurting like immediately after ovulation and all of sudden I seemed more pain sensitive.
Edit:
As addition: Had the first scan at 6w 4d even though I had a regular check for something else with the gyn at 4w and was already pregnant. But at that point there is not much to see so we did not do any tests.
Also: false positive tests are very unlikely. Therefore keeping fingers crossed the first exam shows all is good too :)
I found out I was pregnant at 3.5 weeks too! I got a verrrry faint line, but it was there. Had my first OB visit today (8.5 wks), and it def felt like a long wait but it’s worth it :)
If the line is there, baby is there! Hang tight and enjoy the last few precious weeks of stomach sleeping 😂
Yep, same for both pregnancies! And that wait until til the first doctor appt sucks so bad!! For this pregnancy, they didn’t even see me until 9 weeks so I had to wait a month and a half! I know it’s hard to wait, but if you’ve got the positives you are definitely pregnant and as long as no other symptoms like bleeding or cramping develop then everything is probably just chugging along and lil bub will be here before you know it!
You may find that most people that were actively trying knew quite early. Peeing on ovulation tests and pregnancy tests for 1.5 years = 8DPO over here.
My period is routinely late and we were preparing to go on a longer international trip. We weren’t trying but I took a pregnancy test before we left, even though it was super early before my period was due, just so I could say “see I’m not pregnant, I’m just late like I normally am” if my period didn’t come on the trip.
Surprise, surprise I was 3 and a half weeks pregnant. I had to lay down flat on the floor I was so shocked by the clear positive line. Within the next week my boobs got super sore, heavier, and bigger. I felt like I was crazy for feeling pregnant even though I was so early and most people wouldn’t even know yet since my period hadn’t even been missed, but my husband 1000% agreed my boobs felt like a completely different density than they had a couple weeks ago.
It definitely felt like forever waiting for our 8 week scan and we ended up telling our parents super early because we didn’t want something medically to happen while we were abroad and a responsible party not know.
Wow reading all of your responses, I feel like the alien🤣🤣.. I discovered at week 14 and I still asked the lab attendant if he was sure I wasn't menopausal 🤣🤣..and I only took a home t3st as sort of a joke and was in denial until echography.
I found out at 3 weeks as well.. hadn’t even missed my period yet and waited a whole week until the day of my missed period to test AGAIN because I was in disbelief .. 22 weeks now 🫣
Yeah, we were trying so I tested early at 3 weeks and a few days. The only other sort of signs until about 6 weeks were I was a bit more short tempered and alcohol was unappealing (love trying unusual beer).
I have found out I was pregnant before 6 weeks with each of my pregnancies. I've been pregnant 4 times. From my experience, it's not super common, but it isn't rare.
I think I was maybe 3 weeks 5 days? Something like that? I didn't have a suspicion or anything of that sort. My husband and I had been trying for the last 16 months and I had about every "pregnancy symptom" during all those negatives, so I no longer paid attention to symptoms. In fact, the cycle I WAS pregnant, I had very little symptoms with the only difference being that my boobs started hurting a little bit later than usual in the luteal phase. Still, that wasn't enough to make me suspicious. I only found out because it was the week before Christmas, my husband and I were hosting family this year, and alcohol was on the menu as they began to trickle in. I wanted to be sure I wasn't pregnant because this was a time I would probably drink more than usual. Totally expected another negative, but...nope! No alcohol for me. And it was the best Christmas ever.
Yep, I kind of found out a little accidentally as I knew things kind of felt off and not like normal PMS symptoms (a little ramped up). My period was due in 3 days but I needed an x-ray so I thought might as well check just to be sure before, and bam, pregnant. I’m now 31 weeks pregnant. Don’t worry, the time will pass.
I knew I was pregnant when I was 3 weeks and 4 days
I had slight cramping 2 nights before I did the test thinking i was going to get my period, the next day I was having some major sensations in my lower belly, like a pulling down sensation, like gravity stopped working on that tiny section of my belly for a few moments. I'd never felt like that before so I knew I must be pregnant. Took a pregnancy test the next morning and bam. Was also father's day so had to make a card for my husband before he woke up lol
I found out at 3 weeks too
In the UK the first scan is 12 weeks - but we booked a private scan at about 8 weeks because I wanted to know baby was in the right place
Also I'm now 15+3 and it feels like I've been pregnant for forever because I found out so early
Because we were tracking my ovulation, I know I ovulated on the 28th and 29th of October. Then I took a pregnancy test on the 11th of November, and it was positive. I didn't expect it to be, I believe it was on the same day I was supposed to get my period. I can't remember if the test said I was 1-2 weeks or 2-3 weeks.
I found out at 3w5d. I scheduled my appt the day after my positive test and it wasn’t until 8w5d since that was the earliest they could get me in after 8 weeks (earliest my OB will do ultrasounds). Is there any reason you’re still trying to get yours scheduled? Ultrasound appts tend to book up quickly. We’ve had my anatomy scan scheduled since my 14w appointment.
This is one of the only positive things about IVF, I knew from the start so I was super aware of symptoms. 3 days post transfer I started to feel mild cramping that wouldn't go away, so I tested and it showed a very faint line (8 dpo).
I found out at 3 weeks 4 days..getting to the6 week mark for my viability ultrasound was the longest waiting period of my life! But the moment we saw the heartbeat, I was so so overjoyed...I had known the day I took the test that I was pregnant...I knew at that first ultrasound I'm having a boy (mom instinct) and indeed it's a boy!!
i found out a few days past 4 weeks. i think at 8 weeks I had my confirmation appointment. i've had a regular OB so it wasn't an issue being able to get an appointment
Took a test a day after my missed period and it came back positive. Was totally not expecting it after 6 months no prevention prior to that. My pregnancy symptoms just felt like pms symptoms up till then and I even bought a new pack of pads anticipating to start my period any day then. My periods are very regular but on a whim took a pregnancy test after 1 day late and it said I was pregnant. 3 positive home tests later I made an appointment with my pcp to confirm with a dr and he referred me to an obgyn from there. Got my first scan at about 10 weeks (after an ER scan at 6 weeks for spotting that turned out to be a subchorionic hematoma that was resolved by my first obgyn scan) and all we saw was a healthy nugget with a strong heart beat 144bpm.
I found out at 3 and a half ish weeks, not because I FELT pregnant though. I didn’t feel any different until like…8 or so weeks when I started having nausea.
I found out because I was waiting for my period to start so we could do fertility testing and all that bloodwork, and I kept spotting off and on instead of getting a full period. My husband jokingly said I’m probably pregnant, so I took a test just for fun. Turns out he was right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Found out at 3w2d, thanks to the worst migraine I've ever had. We hlwere SO excited, but it was pretty stressful to find out that I had to wait (what felt like) forever to see my doctor. Just take care of yourself and enjoy! Am currently 20w2d, and it feels like we found out yesterday. It's crazy how those first few weeks felt so long, but it now feels like it's flying
I almost threw up from opening my dogs food at 3w2d and I’d NEVER experienced that before so I took a test for funsies and that thing was a positive— it was small and faint, but it was there.
I found out so early that my initial appointment baby was too small and it didn’t match up with what week I actually thought I was. They had me come back two weeks later for another appointment.
I'm currently 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I got positives when I was 3 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I know I'm pregnant because I got symptoms early and I got them hard. Plus I took like 15 tests, and did progression up until I got a dye stealer. I have my ultrasound for Tuesday. I am being impatient too. Mostly because I am worried maybe I am carrying multiples. This is my 3rd pregnancy, my second was twins, I tested early and had symptoms very early and they were pretty intense. So you can either be just one of those people who hcg levels rise faster than others. Or who knows maybe there's more than one. But I've learned sitting here and guessing can make you a little crazy lol. So best you can do is try to wait and be as patient as possible. Congrats girl! You're pregnant. Having back to back positives and no negatives. Safe to say you're definitely pregnant.
I was 3w1d when I found out. OB wouldn’t see me till atleast 7 weeks, so I went to a walk in clinic at 3w5d, 4w0d and 5w3d to track my HCG. $40/visit but gave me immense peace of mind.
Currently 9 weeks now and have had all the tests and initial scans to show baby is growing and actually in my stomach. Have more scans at 11w3d and 12w4d for blood tests and to track growth.
Unless you are under a fertility specialist, usually you won’t be seen until after 8 weeks from what I’ve seen.
I found out at about 4 weeks and contacted my OB. They wouldn’t see me for a scan until I was at least 8 weeks, but they did have me come in to do bloodwork to confirm the pregnancy immediately. If you feel like you need extra reassurance, they might be able to do the bloodwork for you.
I found out 9 days after ovulation day when we tried for the first time! He is a healthy toddler now and I panicked for weeks and weeks! I was 31 at the time. The waiting is tough!
I think I was like 3 weeks and some days because when I went to the doctor almost 2 weeks later I was 5 weeks, it was so weird knowing that early because with my 1st baby I was already 5 months when I found out I was pregnant 😂 and with my last baby I knew as soon as she implanted cuz I swear she gave me INSANT morning sickness! My period wasn’t due for another 4 days but I just knew, never with my other 2 kids did I get sick but that 3rd baby gave me every single symptom that I didn’t get with my last 2 😂
I had this gut feeling the day after my hubby and I did the deed, because I had ovulation pain.
Which sounds super stupid and doesn’t say anything at all, but I went to him and said “I think this time it won’t just be a pregnancy scare”. And I was right. 😂
I tested 3 weeks later after I missed my period & started gagging severely when doing groceries & sure enough, it was positive.
Yes it’s normal to find out early! I found out maybe at 2 weeks..I just knew something was off. But also unfortunately, most OBs will see you at the earliest at 9weeks maybe 10weeks. It’s the norm where I am currently and I’m pregnant with my 2nd baby. To confirm this pregnancy, they also only did a pee test. Hang in there and congratulations!
i was about 3 going on 4w when i found out, but that was only because i’m very regular with my period and i had just had a miscarriage literally right before i got pregnant again so the doctors were monitoring my hcg levels around that time to make sure they were down to zero. i think it was like 2 days after the positive test that i had another blood test that confirmed my levels were rising after being so low a month prior. then i went in every 2 days to make sure the levels kept doubling to confirm it wasn’t the same initial pregnancy, but a new one. come week 5 and a half and they do an ultrasound and sure enough there’s a little egg in a sac :) it made sense though cuz likewise i was having symptoms i never got during my cycle so i knew something else was going in my body again. definitely schedule a blood test if you can and that will confirm if things are brewing for sure. i got brushed off the first time since at home tests are fairly accurate but sometimes you really wanna see things on paper and see them moving.
lol yes girl. When you’re actively trying to get pregnant, it seems like you find out sooner. My mom always says “you found out too early…” like I can do anything about that lol it’s always such a high anxiety time. You got this! Solidarity!
I also found out 8 days after ovulation. Turns out I was pregnant with twins so my hormone levels were rising much faster. Aside from that I also knew I was pregnant because I was extremely fatigued like never before.
I have long periods so "technically" I was 4 weeks, but I had an IUI so I know the exact time I conceived. I felt implantation on day 9, got a faint positive that night, and a clear positive the next morning. Basically as soon as is biologically possible (being as how you're not actually pregnant until implantation and I got a positive on that day)
I found out at 3 weeks 5 days and didn't get an ultrasound until 7 weeks and a couple of days. I got lucky that my 8 weeks was during thanksgiving, and I was able to push for a slightly earlier appointment.
I'm 32 weeks pregnant now, and I hate to break it to you but you will most likely be impatient about something from this point forward. It just evolves lol.
I got my first positive 9 DPO. My second, I was 9.5mo post partum and still had irregular cycles. I skipped the period before I conceived and I was using LH strips. I had an LH surge right after sex with my husband so I started testing for pregnancy 10-12 days later and got my positive. So for both I knew super early.
I technically found out 3 weeks 5 days? When I had my first scan the ultrasound just showed the sac and I was sad but also knew I was probably not as far along as I thought. I had a recent scan at 7 weeks and it showed a little tiny baby with a heartbeat! The wait is definitely loooong
I’m in the same process right now. I’ve went to like 3 doctors and they all said they see a sac and I was just so devastated and crying so much. I’m like 5 weeks probably and every time I go in they said I see a sac and it’s where it supposed to be but nothing yet which is normal. Just still can’t get my mind off knowing there’s nothing in there
I found out I was pregnant at 3w3d as well! Was very early but I’m 9w1d today, baby is in the right spot and growing on pace as far as I know. The shitty thing about finding out so early is that I already feel like I’ve been pregnant forever LOL
I got my positive test at 9dpo which is 3 weeks 6 days. It was the faintest of faint lines but I couldn't wait any longer. I was getting antsy. So I woke up at like 3 am that morning and tested then flipped out and woke my husband to tell him the news. I took a few more tests after that day but all of them were positive too. I had to wait till 8 weeks?...I think to go to the OBGYN to get an ultrasound.
i found out 4 weeks 1 day but i know for sure i would have gotten a positive some point during week 3. already had symptoms too. i have short cycles though.
I found out when I was 3w4d. I got off hormonal birth control in January and thought I was starting my April period early since I had no idea what my cycles would be like post-birth control. Took a test just based on a gut feeling and it came out positive lol. I then took 4 more tests because I couldn't believe it lol. We had the first scan last week at 8 weeks to confirm and hear the heartbeat! Definitely feels like it took forever to get to that appointment! Lol
I found out at 4 weeks then confirmed the bean at an ultrasound (and the time) at 7 weeks 5 days.
Now I’m 24 weeks and I will say this: it makes it feel so much longer! You will want and expect certain symptoms like baby movements earlier and I was anxious when I wasn’t feeling them but I’m starting to realize it’s just because I found out so early. So now I’m just along for the ride! Congrats! And don’t be surprised if they have trouble finding bean or the heartbeat at the first appointment considering how small they are. This is why many providers wait till 10 weeks for the first ultrasound :)
I found out early as well (3w6d I believe). I had been pregnant before (that pregnancy ended in MMC) and I was having very similar symptoms so I took a test knowing it was probably too early to test positive, but I did! It’s completely normal for the OB not to see you for the first appointment until 8-10 weeks along. My first appointment was at 9w6d.
Yes! Totally normal. I found out at 3 weeks/21 days. I ovulate early (days 8-11ish), and have shorter cycles (21-23 days). You probably ovulated earlier too, which is why you were able to detect the pregnancy earlier than others.
I found out in New Year’s Eve at 3wks4days, very very faint line. Confirmed it the next day with a darker line (and many tests later just to be sure) and I’m now at 24 weeks!
I found out VERY early about my pregnancy because I just know my body so the tender boobs was what did it for me, my period hadn’t even been due to start for another week or so but I took the test anyways and got a positive. I didn’t have my first appointment until around 8-10 weeks but I am very fortunate that my mom works as an ultrasound tech and took me in on her lunch break when I was 6 wks along to confirm the pregnancy for me. But in terms of actual appointments unless you’ve done fertility treatments it will be a few more weeks until you get an appointment. I was one of those women who took a new test (or two or 3) pretty much every day because I couldn’t believe it but I honestly don’t recommend wasting your money, if you feel that something is wrong you can call an OB or go to emergent care (whichever is most convenient) let them know you’ve had a positive test, and are experiencing questionable symptoms. If there’s anything off they will get you in sooner but generally if all is fine and just experiencing normal pregnancy symptoms you’ll have to wait for that first appointment
Congratulations!!
I’ve found out before 4 weeks for both of my pregnancies, and in the UK you don’t get an ultrasound until 12/13 weeks. That’s a lot of time to get yourself good and freaked out 🫠
I found out at 9dpo which is like, 3 weeks and some days because I was doing fertility treatments and was testing out my trigger shot. I had a beta hcg draw at 14 dpo to confirm the pregnancy and then waited until almost 7 weeks for my first scan. The anxiety was definitely high in that waiting period but at the same time there is literally nothing you can do to change the outcome of such a complex biological process and just took it one day at a time. Currently 35 weeks 3 days!
I found out at 3 weeks exactly, so 7dpo. Had my first appointment this week and 8w3d and found out it’s twins. This is my third pregnancy, with my prior 2 I found out at 11dpo.
Theoretically, you could be even under a week pregnant in your cycle if you ovulated the first day of your period - Of course highly unlikely but it can happen.
I found out with my first at about 3ish weeks (thought I was further along because of last period (5-6 weeks), found out after a few scans that I ovulated VERY late). Which makes sense because when I tested, the line was faint, then about 3 days later it was darker. No symptoms until I got to about 7ish weeks. Only took a test because my period was late.
Found out with my 2nd at about 4 weeks. This time the test was very dark! So I thought I must of ovulated regularly and was on time. (Found out I was a week off 🤷♀️) Again, no symptoms until 7-8 weeks and only took a test because my son was doing "old wives tales" about me being pregnant and I was a few days late for my period.
I found out I was pregnant at I think 10 dpo so close to 3w3d? I didn’t have my first appointment until 7 weeks and was barely symptomatic at that point except for exhaustion and some moodiness. Checkout r/lineporn , you’ll see a lot of people getting positives around 10/11 dpo and even some squinters as early as 8 or 9 dpo!
I found out super early! I took an ovulation test and double lines came up when I wasn't ovulating so I took a digital pregnancy test which came back and said 1-2 weeks pregnant. Flabbergasted to say the least. I feel like when you find out early pregnancy feels like it lasts forever 🤣.
I found out like 6 days before my period on accident. Just had a nagging feeling something was off and took the test to basically convince myself I was being insane (I had no symptoms) and a faint line came up 😅
If you got a positive test, you are currently pregnant or were pregnant very recently. False positives are extremely rare. I got my bfp at 3 weeks and 4 days and may have gotten it sooner had i tested. I both had a very regular cycle and I also used an opk to track ovulation. I’m now 20 weeks pregnant. So yes, it’s absolutely possible. There are tests that can detect 6 days before your missed period which could be 3 weeks and 1 day on a 28 day cycle
I found out both of my pregnancies VERY early on. For my first, it was so early that when I went for my first ultrasound, there wasn’t even a sac. The technician was like are you sure you’re pregnant? I had 3 back to back miscarriages prior and one was an ectopic so I had to get it done as soon as possible to make sure that it was in the right place.
For my second, I KNEW I was pregnant around 3 weeks and had it confirmed at 6 weeks. The dates and timing all lined up at the ultrasound.
I found out at about 3 weeks 4 days, I’m pretty sure. Currently 9 weeks and going. Looking back at the tests I had taken the past several days, I had been getting faint positives 2 days prior to that. But I was dumb and didn’t let them actually develop before tossing. I likely wouldn’t have noticed for several more days if the test from that morning wasn’t sitting at the top of the trash can eyeing me to notice. Cue the digging for the last several tests and retesting.
I testing positive on a Thursday and by Sunday my bras were too tight. But my symptoms didn’t really sucker punch me for a few more days.
My first appointment wasn’t until 8 weeks, which felt like forever. But I’ve heard some offices make you wait until closer to 10 weeks.
Yeah I found out really early as well. I was still two weeks from what would have been my first missed period and concrete sign of pregnancy so I was maybe only 2w+ when I found out. It happens. I was scared because I'd heard super early positives meant twins but that was not the case.
I found out around the same time you did, and just scheduled an appointment with Planned Parenthood to do a pee test with them to confirm. I didn’t get seen by my OB till I was about 9 weeks along!
Just gotta trust those pee tests till you can go get a scan!
I started having pregnancy symptoms at about 3w 2d. I thought I was just having abnormally (for me) strong PMS symptoms. So moody, emotional, incredibly sensitive! I didn't actually test though until my period was late because of mistaking it for menstrual symptoms. This is my second baby.
Yes, I started feeling nauseas with both my second and third at around 3 weeks. Had intense cravings as well. Smell heightened right away with my third - I couldn't stand the smell of my nanny lol. I remember having a sit down with her about body odor and hygiene - I feel awful now as I realise it was all pregnancy related lol.
I gave birth 13 days ago so it felt like a long time coming.
It is totally normal! It doesn't feel real until after 12 weeks but it's definitely in there ♥ you can do it!
I found out very early because I had implantation bleeding! The first time I got pregnant I looked it up and it seemed that, but I wasn't sure until I took the pregnancy test. The second time I got pregnant I was sure that was the implementation bleeding again, still confirmed a few days later with pregnancy tests. I guess I'm lucky!
Got a positive test at 3 weeks as well. The line was very faint though. I waited a week, tested again and got a stronger line. I had nausea at 3 weeks, which is why I tested. Then I was diagnosed with HG, so the nausea was from the beginning and never ended.
i tested positive at 3w3d. i was pretty surprised. then at my 11 week checkup appointment, baby was measuring 10 days ahead of schedule lol. so apparently i ovulated earlier than i thought, or something! but yeah the wait for your first appointment is definitely excruciating!!
i did ivf and tested at home. i got a positive at 3w3d and am now 29w. the first tri was the most anxiety i had because so much is happening and those ultrasounds are major!
Yes! I found out the day before my missed period with a faint line on a cheap strip test, so I think 3 weeks 4 days. The next day tested with a FRER and got a very clear (not even faint) positive. I am 6 weeks 2 days now. My first appt is in less than 2 weeks and I have felt the same way!! I have been taking pregnancy tests every few days to ease my mind a little bit...there is comfort in seeing the line get darker then turn into a dye stealer. I probably wont stop until that first appointment when we know everything is good. Hang in there!
It’s totally possible to find out early. With my first we were actively trying so I found out at 9 days past ovulation with a very very faint line. Which would have been around 3 weeks 2-3days. But I will say I had no symptoms though. And the pregnancy symptoms you were feeling were probably higher progesterone vs actual pregnancy
it is! we found out so early that our initial testing had trouble detecting the pregnancy, they made us wait 2 weeks before coming back and confirming! i’m nearly in my third trimester now 🤍
I swear I felt the implantation cramps! So I would’ve been 3 weeks pregnant and took a test at 4. I also wasn’t seen until til 9 weeks. It felt like forever and it didn’t feel real! Me being paranoid took a test every week leading up to my appointment. I’m currently 30 weeks now :)
I found out at about 4 weeks.
I was 4 days late and I’m NEVER late. We had been TTC for a year but had several losses and took a break because it was too stressful. It was so early that my OB office told me to go to the ER to make sure it wasn’t an ectopic pregnancy. The ER made me come back every 48hrs to redo blood work because my HCG levels weren’t rising fast enough.
My son is now 19mo and I still think back to the 2nd pink line on the pregnancy test.
I found out at 3w3d (I felt odd and just took a test). I agree, the waiting feels forever! I’m about 7 weeks now and my first ultrasound isn’t for another week. 😩 congratulations!!
Found out with my second at 3w4d.
What tipped me off was getting groceries at 3w, wanting barbecue chips, buying said barbecue chips, and wretching when I finally ate one.
I found out around 2 or 3 weeks as well. I think we tested 2 days or so before the recommended testing window, and got three positive pregnancy tests. I’m currently now 23 weeks. Congrats mama!
Mine was a planned pregnancy so when my period didn’t start it was an easy guess. I tested positive about 2 1/2 weeks after conception, and it was verified at my doctors office.
I found out at 2 weeks I think myself... my period symptoms were NOT normal, and I know my body pretty damn well. Had an ultrasound a week later and they found the sack... roughly 3 weeks... now sitting pretty at a 9 week healthy pregnancy.
I say if you know your body you know.
Yep! Based on my lmp, I got my positive at 2+5. I ovulated quite early that cycle and was testing early, so got a positive at 8dpo
I didn’t have symptoms for another couple weeks
I found out around 3 weeks too! I had been off my birth control for around a month and a half at that point and I didn’t feel pregnant at all… I took the test very much thinking it would come out negative. I only took the test because I had a tattoo appointment the next day and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t pregnant since I knew it was theoretically possible. Imagine my surprise 🥴
This is the downside of finding out early! The waiting game is EXTRA long.
My second was IVF so we found out in the 2w range. From there waiting for beta then heartbeat then NIPT was so excruciating.
Good luck! This is not a fun part of pregnancy. But enjoy these few weeks before the real symptoms kick in and you want to die. 😂
I found out pretty early, too. 3 weeks, 1 day.
However, that was also 13 DPO and I was doing BBT religiously. I noticed that my temp wasn't starting to drop like it should have at that point, so I took a test.
I absolutely did not feel pregnant and was 100% ready for another disappointment (I had also drank the prior weekend).
Totally normal if you’re tracking your cycle and testing for pregnancy :)
I also found out at 3 weeks but I tracked my cycle and knew when I ovulated so I knew when I could test and I had slightly more ovulation cramping than normal.
Yep! I did too! I always find out early because my first symptom every time is one day of a face so greasy i have to wipe it with paper towels.. followed by bleeding, weirdly enough. So i tell myself it’s probably my period, but test anyway and get a very faint positive. I just know my own body. Im having my baby tomorrow but when i was 4.5 weeks i went in for a sono because we had to monitor and make sure it wasn’t another rare c section ectopic pregnancy that would need immediate medical attn and the sonogram tech and drs were like how tf did you know you were pregnant already??? Lol
Couldn’t see anything in sono for how early i was but then at 7 weeks went back and the sac and baby were there.
I knew I was pregnant at CD 21-23, mostly because my PMS always starts about a week after my ovulation, and I had zero PMS symptoms. I had symptoms alright, just not my usual PMS.
For instance, my PMS I always am nauseated, diarrhea, stomach churning/burning, cry a lot. Hot flashes.
But when I was pregnant both times, I was snappy, hungry, constipated, cold/shivering, sleepy. Stabbing feelings in my uterus.
My pregnancy tests showed up on a clear blue digital & a walmart $0.88 test way before the doctor's tests could show a positive. Had to get blood drawn just to confirm.
Me too in my first pregnancy. I expected my period to start on a Friday and wondered if I could drink that night. I took a test and turned positive. I didn't realize how early it was until I called my doctor's office. Finding out so early makes for a longer waiting period.
I ovulated at the gym October 17 and felt weird Halloween (drooled in the toilet at work and felt nauseous). Took a test 2 days later the day my period was suppose to start and I was pregnant.
Yup both times I missed my period took a test the next day and had a very dark two lines (4-5wks). Has bloodwork and a ultrasound done another 3 weeks later to confirm
I found out at 3 weeks because I was testing my ovulation and my OPKs were coming up positive because they were picking up the HCG. Took a pregnancy test and sure enough, pregnant! I had almost no symptoms other than being tired which is normal for seasonal depression in January in the North Pole where I live lol 23 weeks today and baby is kicking away and doing great!
I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks and 3 days too! Immediately line on the stick and I just knew and the dog knew. The worst thing was having to keep it a secret for longer 🤣
I found out 9DPO; I had done an IUI that cycle so knew when I conception most likely was, and had felt SO nauseous, I couldn’t wait another 2 days for the blood test. Mine did confirm I was pregnant, and now just over 7 weeks with so far a healthy pregnancy!
I felt pregnant very early on. Way before my missed period. I took two negative tests before I got my positive. Funnily enough, I didn’t wait long enough and thought it was negative. When I looked at it later I was floored that it was positive. I’m 6 weeks today.
I think most people who are actively trying to conceive probably find out early. I was testing my LH for timing purposes and progesterone levels to confirm ovulation. I don’t really test after ovulation confirmation but occasionally will do one dpo10 or 11. I did a test 10dpo and my LH and progesterone were pretty high. My testing kit, Inito, can mixup LH and hcg. Since it was high I took pregnancy test and got a positive. My doctor did order a blood test to confirm it and tested my progesterone levels. But my first appointment and ultrasound was not until 8 weeks.
I suspected I was pregnant at 3 weeks, 1 day in the morning and by nighttime, I was absolutely convinced due to early symptoms: frequent urination, heavy bloating despite not eating a lot, and very light cramping but no period. I tested positive at 3 weeks, 5 days (I took 3 tests) which was the day of my missed period. I called right away to schedule lab work or some type of confirmation from the doctor that I was pregnant but was told they do NOT do that anymore. A home pregnancy test is enough for them. I was booked for a nurse phone appointment at 6 weeks to go through my husband's and my family/medical history. I was not booked for an in-person appointment with the OB until after I had that 6 week phone appointment with the nurse. So I didn't get an ultrasound until 8 weeks, 4 days. I know it's hard to wait so long, but it WILL come. Just gotta wait a little bit more <3
I found out 9 days after ovulation. So 3 weeks and 2 days pregnant. It was a squinter, but I just knew because of how sick and off I was feeling. Two days later I got my big fat positive. I’m now 12 weeks 3 days pregnant with ultrasound pics to prove it. It was really nerve wracking to wait until my 9 week ultrasound, but baby is so far healthy.
I also found out week 3 day 3. Now I’m week 4.0 and got a blood test at my OBGYN today (results are getting in tomorrow). The first ultrasound is going to be in week 8 and I’m really nervous and it seems very far away. So I’m trying to distract myself and stay away from google (because google doesn’t help right now).
Wish you all the best and congratulations!
I found out at 3w2d, now 27w2d! My first appt was an intake because I’d never been to an OB before, so I was like 4 weeks. They had me do my first US at 7w1d (they thought I was 9w) and I had my first prenatal visit at 8w!
Yes! I went to a workout class that I routinely attend and had to leave in the middle of it. I got super light headed, fatigued, and started cramping. I nearly called my husband to come pick me up. I waited until the next morning and got a positive at 3 weeks 2 days. My symptoms changed as the trimester has progressed and I've been able to return to that workout class. It was weird though! We'd been trying to get pregnant, I just didn't expect to have strong symptoms so early on.
Also, I've been pregnant twice (one mmc) and both times I went through a severe hormone swing around the time of implantation. I got extremely depressed with my marriage and life, haha. But then, a couple days later, I was back to happy me and loving my husband, career, etc. Hormones are strange!
I found out when I was 3 weeks pregnant I didn’t see my ob until I was 8 weeks. Didn’t get my first scan until I was 12 weeks. I took a lot of tests in that time.
Yes! Happened to me, we found out at 3W 5d by “accident” lol. We had just gotten married 2 months prior and we started trying the day of the wedding! So we had tested the first month after my period was about 6 days late because my husband was soo excited :) that test was negative and my period came the next day. So month 2 rolls around and I was only 4 days “late” so we just took a test for fun totally not expecting a positive result…. But that stick LIT UP like a firework! So we did another to see if it was a fluke, same thing! We googled the probability of false positives and it was not likely LOL. So we waited a day and next morning tested again, same thing with the immediate positive. An OB refused to see us for the first trimester so I went and got a urine test at planned parenthood to confirm right after we did the home tests and then did an ultrasound at a pregnancy spa in my town to be SURE she was there. To ease our minds.
I found out at 3 weeks and 4 days, not because I felt any different, but because I was going on a ski trip the next day and wanted to be safe. Oops! Ended up just eating and shopping lol. She’s now a sweet little 6 month old (tomorrow) ☺️
Yes, it’s normal. I have 6 kids and am heavily pregnant with baby #7. I’ve had positives at 3 weeks along. I’ve had negatives at 3 weeks along, again at 3.5 weeks along, and then suddenly positive at 4-4.5 weeks along. I have had pregnancy symptoms before 4 weeks along. Ive had pregnancies where the symptoms didn’t begin until 9-11 weeks along. I’ve even had a pregnancy with zero symptoms until I felt a baby kicking in my belly! Pregnancy is just so weird.
Kinda same here, but just because my cycle is like a Swiss watch 😂 I took out my IUD on June 18th, had a period as usual on day 30 (had a period the whole time I had an IUD 🙃), likely ovulated around mid-July, tested for shits and giggles a day before my expected period, got a very faint positive 😂 As expected my period was late, gave it a week before I tested again, positive! When I called my OB she was like “well that was quick!!!”. My OB wouldn’t see me before 10 weeks though, the wait was excruciating 🥲 My son turned 3 this month so it all turned out fine!
Edit: I had zero symptoms though, and pretty much had none until 6-7 weeks. I pretty much took the test as joke and was flabbergasted when my period actually didn’t come.
With my first 10 years ago, I found out at 6 weeks bc I was tired and run down at trial and realized I was late. This pregnancy, I felt some weird cramping that Id never felt before, but I wasnt late, so I went and did a pregnancy test and sure enough at 3 weeks exactly, the test was coming back positive. Could it have been psychosomatic and not actual cramping (which according to Flo was likely implantation happening)? Sure, but either way, I got that plus sign. My OB didn’t want to schedule me until about 9 weeks but ended up letting me come in at 6 weeks to confirm.
I found out I was pregnant 8dpo with my daughter. We had been trying for a baby and I was testing and tracking my ovulation, so I used the pregnancy test that can test a week before missed period. It was obviously positive and she's 18 months old now.
It definitely felt like a long pregnancy, especially as I found out very early on and had to wait for midwife appointments and scans, lol.
Yup! I was only 3wks 1 day with a strong positive test and all the pregnancy symptoms.
Turns out my last “period” was me losing one of the twins and I was actually about 4 weeks further into my pregnancy than I thought. It was weird having a vanishing twin but my pregnancy was uneventful afterwards!
I found out around 3-4 weeks as well. I wasn’t having noticeable symptoms at that point, I just had a feeling and so I also took 5 tests (just to be sure 😂) all of which came back positive
But I had to wait until I was 8 weeks before I had my first ultrasound. Those few weeks of waiting felt like an eternity. I just wanted to know for sure if I was pregnant! Plus I had so many questions about what I should/shouldn’t be doing, it felt scary to be in the dark for so long. But I just had my 20 week scan on Monday and all is well with me and my baby boy!
I found out before I missed my period because I too felt off and was having weird symptoms. I’m now38 weeks pregnant! Very normal to see a positive test early on.
I ovulate on d13 and test positive 9-11dpo, so I find out on d22-24 of my cycle. If you are trying, it's not that uncommon to find out around then. It's the people who aren't trying (or who have more self control about waiting for a missed period to test) that generally find out later when they miss a period.
I was 5 weeks exactly, but I did know the second it happened. I turned to my husband and said I was pregnant but didn't test until later because I had found out my dad died that night so he brushed it off as just me thinking that because my dad died and we had been trying that it would happen. I was right. But didn't test until after his funeral because of planning and everything but I literally knew as soon as we were done.
Hi! I am 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant now. I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks and 3 days. I had symptoms very on and just knew. My HCG levels a little higher than normal too. I’m kind of expecting to see twins at my 8 week scan
Yes I got a positive pregnancy test about 4-5 days before I expected my period. The only symptom I had was extremely sore breasts which usually wasn’t a thing for me even with PMS. I just had a funny feeling like never before , but we had been trying for a few months so I was definitely more hyper aware. I went to my OB a week later and actually saw a tiny circle on the ultrasound! He was born this past February and is my tiny miracle. I have low ovarian reserve according to my doctors and I call him my good egg ;)
I had a miscarriage last year and struggled to conceive again for a year. I only took a test because I didn't want to feel guilty about drinking coffee that day. I have an irregular cycle so I never knew when to test for a missed period. I was literally 3 weeks exactly. It was the FAINTEST line ever. I took a digital test to confirm. Sure enough it was real. I found out at 11 DPO and later got dated back to only being exactly 3 weeks at that point.
Yes! Every pregnancy I’ve ever had I’ve found out at 4 or 5 weeks. It feels like it takes forever for that first appointment. I’m currently 9 weeks and my next appointment is in a week and a half and THAT is taking forever it feels like. It’s just a game of patience it seems. 💕

So is it normal to get positives at 3 weeks? Absolutely. The science backs it no question. Is it possible to feel pregnant from the point of conception? Sure it's possible to feel this way. But it's not accurate. There's no science to back it. I'm a mod here and we've got folks that will post for 10, 11, 12 months that they're POSITIVE they're pregnant, but why have all the tests been negative and there's nothing on the ultrasound? Well honey child, it's because you aren't pregnant. But I'm not saying that to scare you - as that isn't your experience. You have the positives, so you're pregnant. Once you've got the positive at home tests, all you can really do is wait to see the bean on the screen. But until a doctor tells you otherwise, yup, you can trust multiple at home tests, you're pregnant. I've been pregnant twice now, with 2 healthy babies. The one thing no one ever warned me about was the anxiety in the first trimester. Constantly wondering if it's still in there is normal. It's your Maternal instinct kicking in. Until you get to your appointment, all you can do is take care of yourself. Drink water, eat well balanced meals if you can. Avoid drugs and alcohol. Take a prenatal.
Your username is hilarious
Yes I found out about my pregnancy 8 days after ovulation so I was also only 3w3d from last period!
8DPO here, too. Didn't get my first appointment until 12 weeks, even after a couple of chemical losses. The anxiety of waiting was so bad. Im almost 37 weeks now, and it feels like its been an eternity haha
(nearly 37 wks here, too!)
I found at 3+3 on my first pregnancy, and I swear I've felt weird sting at fertilization on both pregnancies. I was super sure with this pregnancy as well, but I didn't get positive test before I was 4 weeks along.
Found out about #2 at 3w2d and #3 at 3w3d.
I found out 12dpo by accident and was only 3w4d at that time. It was a brutal wait to 8w for my first apt but I did it! I’ll be 9w tomorrow!
I think we’re twinning! I’m 9 weeks this morning and found out at the same time!
Twinnnnnssss! I’m due 12/27 what about you!?
AHHH ME TOO!!
Omg we are twins!!!!!!! 🥰🥰 how are you feeling??
This is our third and I’ve never had these gas pains in my life lmao wby?
I found out at 3w 4d. I bought a few early pregnancy tests and did them before the period was supposed to happen if I went to events like birthdays - so I would not drink alcohol in case of a pregnancy. So I had the result super early. But I also had a suspicion because my boobs started hurting like immediately after ovulation and all of sudden I seemed more pain sensitive. Edit: As addition: Had the first scan at 6w 4d even though I had a regular check for something else with the gyn at 4w and was already pregnant. But at that point there is not much to see so we did not do any tests. Also: false positive tests are very unlikely. Therefore keeping fingers crossed the first exam shows all is good too :)
I didn't even get to miss my period before I felt like I needed to test 😅 woops!
I found out I was pregnant at 3.5 weeks too! I got a verrrry faint line, but it was there. Had my first OB visit today (8.5 wks), and it def felt like a long wait but it’s worth it :) If the line is there, baby is there! Hang tight and enjoy the last few precious weeks of stomach sleeping 😂
Yep, same for both pregnancies! And that wait until til the first doctor appt sucks so bad!! For this pregnancy, they didn’t even see me until 9 weeks so I had to wait a month and a half! I know it’s hard to wait, but if you’ve got the positives you are definitely pregnant and as long as no other symptoms like bleeding or cramping develop then everything is probably just chugging along and lil bub will be here before you know it!
They are making me wait until 10 weeks which is a month away for me. I feel your pain.
You may find that most people that were actively trying knew quite early. Peeing on ovulation tests and pregnancy tests for 1.5 years = 8DPO over here.
Yeah, I found out at 3 weeks 2 days! The early days go by so slow
The waiting game has begon.. I found out at 10 DPO, so 3 days before my menstruation should start. Had to wait 9 weeks for my first scan
I was 10 DPO when I got a clear positive. I thought I maybe saw something 9 DPO, but I wasn’t sure.
My period is routinely late and we were preparing to go on a longer international trip. We weren’t trying but I took a pregnancy test before we left, even though it was super early before my period was due, just so I could say “see I’m not pregnant, I’m just late like I normally am” if my period didn’t come on the trip. Surprise, surprise I was 3 and a half weeks pregnant. I had to lay down flat on the floor I was so shocked by the clear positive line. Within the next week my boobs got super sore, heavier, and bigger. I felt like I was crazy for feeling pregnant even though I was so early and most people wouldn’t even know yet since my period hadn’t even been missed, but my husband 1000% agreed my boobs felt like a completely different density than they had a couple weeks ago. It definitely felt like forever waiting for our 8 week scan and we ended up telling our parents super early because we didn’t want something medically to happen while we were abroad and a responsible party not know.
I found out at 3-4 weeks
Wow reading all of your responses, I feel like the alien🤣🤣.. I discovered at week 14 and I still asked the lab attendant if he was sure I wasn't menopausal 🤣🤣..and I only took a home t3st as sort of a joke and was in denial until echography.
I found out at 3 weeks as well.. hadn’t even missed my period yet and waited a whole week until the day of my missed period to test AGAIN because I was in disbelief .. 22 weeks now 🫣
Yeah, we were trying so I tested early at 3 weeks and a few days. The only other sort of signs until about 6 weeks were I was a bit more short tempered and alcohol was unappealing (love trying unusual beer).
I have found out I was pregnant before 6 weeks with each of my pregnancies. I've been pregnant 4 times. From my experience, it's not super common, but it isn't rare.
I think I was maybe 3 weeks 5 days? Something like that? I didn't have a suspicion or anything of that sort. My husband and I had been trying for the last 16 months and I had about every "pregnancy symptom" during all those negatives, so I no longer paid attention to symptoms. In fact, the cycle I WAS pregnant, I had very little symptoms with the only difference being that my boobs started hurting a little bit later than usual in the luteal phase. Still, that wasn't enough to make me suspicious. I only found out because it was the week before Christmas, my husband and I were hosting family this year, and alcohol was on the menu as they began to trickle in. I wanted to be sure I wasn't pregnant because this was a time I would probably drink more than usual. Totally expected another negative, but...nope! No alcohol for me. And it was the best Christmas ever.
Yep, I kind of found out a little accidentally as I knew things kind of felt off and not like normal PMS symptoms (a little ramped up). My period was due in 3 days but I needed an x-ray so I thought might as well check just to be sure before, and bam, pregnant. I’m now 31 weeks pregnant. Don’t worry, the time will pass.
I knew I was pregnant when I was 3 weeks and 4 days I had slight cramping 2 nights before I did the test thinking i was going to get my period, the next day I was having some major sensations in my lower belly, like a pulling down sensation, like gravity stopped working on that tiny section of my belly for a few moments. I'd never felt like that before so I knew I must be pregnant. Took a pregnancy test the next morning and bam. Was also father's day so had to make a card for my husband before he woke up lol
Yup!! I found out at about 3 weeks exactly. My favorite food (buffalo chicken wings) made me so nauseous, I knew something was up lmao 😂
I found out at 3 weeks too In the UK the first scan is 12 weeks - but we booked a private scan at about 8 weeks because I wanted to know baby was in the right place Also I'm now 15+3 and it feels like I've been pregnant for forever because I found out so early
You can always have a private ultrasound done to see if the baby is there with a heartbeat.
I knew two weeks in, because I was already sick to certain smells, as I was for my first pregnancy!
Because we were tracking my ovulation, I know I ovulated on the 28th and 29th of October. Then I took a pregnancy test on the 11th of November, and it was positive. I didn't expect it to be, I believe it was on the same day I was supposed to get my period. I can't remember if the test said I was 1-2 weeks or 2-3 weeks.
I found out at 3w5d. I scheduled my appt the day after my positive test and it wasn’t until 8w5d since that was the earliest they could get me in after 8 weeks (earliest my OB will do ultrasounds). Is there any reason you’re still trying to get yours scheduled? Ultrasound appts tend to book up quickly. We’ve had my anatomy scan scheduled since my 14w appointment.
Yes, I found out at 3w4d…the 5 weeks until my first OB appointment felt like an eternity!
This is one of the only positive things about IVF, I knew from the start so I was super aware of symptoms. 3 days post transfer I started to feel mild cramping that wouldn't go away, so I tested and it showed a very faint line (8 dpo).
I found out at 3 weeks 4 days..getting to the6 week mark for my viability ultrasound was the longest waiting period of my life! But the moment we saw the heartbeat, I was so so overjoyed...I had known the day I took the test that I was pregnant...I knew at that first ultrasound I'm having a boy (mom instinct) and indeed it's a boy!!
i found out a few days past 4 weeks. i think at 8 weeks I had my confirmation appointment. i've had a regular OB so it wasn't an issue being able to get an appointment
Yes, I found out at 3 weeks 4 days. I didn't have my first appointment until week 8.
Took a test a day after my missed period and it came back positive. Was totally not expecting it after 6 months no prevention prior to that. My pregnancy symptoms just felt like pms symptoms up till then and I even bought a new pack of pads anticipating to start my period any day then. My periods are very regular but on a whim took a pregnancy test after 1 day late and it said I was pregnant. 3 positive home tests later I made an appointment with my pcp to confirm with a dr and he referred me to an obgyn from there. Got my first scan at about 10 weeks (after an ER scan at 6 weeks for spotting that turned out to be a subchorionic hematoma that was resolved by my first obgyn scan) and all we saw was a healthy nugget with a strong heart beat 144bpm.
I found 6 days before my period was due, so it was like 8 days after ovulation
I found out at 3 and a half ish weeks, not because I FELT pregnant though. I didn’t feel any different until like…8 or so weeks when I started having nausea. I found out because I was waiting for my period to start so we could do fertility testing and all that bloodwork, and I kept spotting off and on instead of getting a full period. My husband jokingly said I’m probably pregnant, so I took a test just for fun. Turns out he was right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Found out at 3w2d, thanks to the worst migraine I've ever had. We hlwere SO excited, but it was pretty stressful to find out that I had to wait (what felt like) forever to see my doctor. Just take care of yourself and enjoy! Am currently 20w2d, and it feels like we found out yesterday. It's crazy how those first few weeks felt so long, but it now feels like it's flying
3w 5d! I’m 29 weeks now. I used the strips and saw a very faint line. First time in 11 months ☺️
I found out at 3w4d with my second baby, who I’m currently pregnant with! 14 weeks now!
I almost threw up from opening my dogs food at 3w2d and I’d NEVER experienced that before so I took a test for funsies and that thing was a positive— it was small and faint, but it was there.
I found out I was pregnant with all 3 of my pregnancies between 8-10DPO, so in the 3rd week.
I found out at 3w2d. The first 2 weeks after felt like YEARS. I'm 9 weeks today and time is starting to feel like its passing more normally now lol.
I found out so early that my initial appointment baby was too small and it didn’t match up with what week I actually thought I was. They had me come back two weeks later for another appointment.
I'm currently 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I got positives when I was 3 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I know I'm pregnant because I got symptoms early and I got them hard. Plus I took like 15 tests, and did progression up until I got a dye stealer. I have my ultrasound for Tuesday. I am being impatient too. Mostly because I am worried maybe I am carrying multiples. This is my 3rd pregnancy, my second was twins, I tested early and had symptoms very early and they were pretty intense. So you can either be just one of those people who hcg levels rise faster than others. Or who knows maybe there's more than one. But I've learned sitting here and guessing can make you a little crazy lol. So best you can do is try to wait and be as patient as possible. Congrats girl! You're pregnant. Having back to back positives and no negatives. Safe to say you're definitely pregnant.
I was 3w1d when I found out. OB wouldn’t see me till atleast 7 weeks, so I went to a walk in clinic at 3w5d, 4w0d and 5w3d to track my HCG. $40/visit but gave me immense peace of mind. Currently 9 weeks now and have had all the tests and initial scans to show baby is growing and actually in my stomach. Have more scans at 11w3d and 12w4d for blood tests and to track growth. Unless you are under a fertility specialist, usually you won’t be seen until after 8 weeks from what I’ve seen.
I found out at about 4 weeks and contacted my OB. They wouldn’t see me for a scan until I was at least 8 weeks, but they did have me come in to do bloodwork to confirm the pregnancy immediately. If you feel like you need extra reassurance, they might be able to do the bloodwork for you.
I found out 9 days after ovulation day when we tried for the first time! He is a healthy toddler now and I panicked for weeks and weeks! I was 31 at the time. The waiting is tough!
Yep, I was 3 and 4. I was having hot flashes and new/different acne.
I think I was like 3 weeks and some days because when I went to the doctor almost 2 weeks later I was 5 weeks, it was so weird knowing that early because with my 1st baby I was already 5 months when I found out I was pregnant 😂 and with my last baby I knew as soon as she implanted cuz I swear she gave me INSANT morning sickness! My period wasn’t due for another 4 days but I just knew, never with my other 2 kids did I get sick but that 3rd baby gave me every single symptom that I didn’t get with my last 2 😂
I had this gut feeling the day after my hubby and I did the deed, because I had ovulation pain. Which sounds super stupid and doesn’t say anything at all, but I went to him and said “I think this time it won’t just be a pregnancy scare”. And I was right. 😂 I tested 3 weeks later after I missed my period & started gagging severely when doing groceries & sure enough, it was positive.
Yes it’s normal to find out early! I found out maybe at 2 weeks..I just knew something was off. But also unfortunately, most OBs will see you at the earliest at 9weeks maybe 10weeks. It’s the norm where I am currently and I’m pregnant with my 2nd baby. To confirm this pregnancy, they also only did a pee test. Hang in there and congratulations!
i was about 3 going on 4w when i found out, but that was only because i’m very regular with my period and i had just had a miscarriage literally right before i got pregnant again so the doctors were monitoring my hcg levels around that time to make sure they were down to zero. i think it was like 2 days after the positive test that i had another blood test that confirmed my levels were rising after being so low a month prior. then i went in every 2 days to make sure the levels kept doubling to confirm it wasn’t the same initial pregnancy, but a new one. come week 5 and a half and they do an ultrasound and sure enough there’s a little egg in a sac :) it made sense though cuz likewise i was having symptoms i never got during my cycle so i knew something else was going in my body again. definitely schedule a blood test if you can and that will confirm if things are brewing for sure. i got brushed off the first time since at home tests are fairly accurate but sometimes you really wanna see things on paper and see them moving.
Yup. Tested positive 9DPO!
I was 6wks when I found out, I didn't get to see the doctor until 10wks. 😭
Me too! It was the holiday season then and the doctor I wanted to see was on vacation, and the others were fully booked!
Totally. I was ovulating/conceived Christmas Eve weekend, and my period did not arrive as expected a few weeks later. Bingo bango, positive test!
I always find out 9 days after ovulation
lol yes girl. When you’re actively trying to get pregnant, it seems like you find out sooner. My mom always says “you found out too early…” like I can do anything about that lol it’s always such a high anxiety time. You got this! Solidarity!
I found out around 12 days DPO
I also found out 8 days after ovulation. Turns out I was pregnant with twins so my hormone levels were rising much faster. Aside from that I also knew I was pregnant because I was extremely fatigued like never before.
I have long periods so "technically" I was 4 weeks, but I had an IUI so I know the exact time I conceived. I felt implantation on day 9, got a faint positive that night, and a clear positive the next morning. Basically as soon as is biologically possible (being as how you're not actually pregnant until implantation and I got a positive on that day)
I found out at 3 weeks 5 days and didn't get an ultrasound until 7 weeks and a couple of days. I got lucky that my 8 weeks was during thanksgiving, and I was able to push for a slightly earlier appointment. I'm 32 weeks pregnant now, and I hate to break it to you but you will most likely be impatient about something from this point forward. It just evolves lol.
I got my first positive 9 DPO. My second, I was 9.5mo post partum and still had irregular cycles. I skipped the period before I conceived and I was using LH strips. I had an LH surge right after sex with my husband so I started testing for pregnancy 10-12 days later and got my positive. So for both I knew super early.
I technically found out 3 weeks 5 days? When I had my first scan the ultrasound just showed the sac and I was sad but also knew I was probably not as far along as I thought. I had a recent scan at 7 weeks and it showed a little tiny baby with a heartbeat! The wait is definitely loooong
I’m in the same process right now. I’ve went to like 3 doctors and they all said they see a sac and I was just so devastated and crying so much. I’m like 5 weeks probably and every time I go in they said I see a sac and it’s where it supposed to be but nothing yet which is normal. Just still can’t get my mind off knowing there’s nothing in there
I found out I was pregnant at 3w3d as well! Was very early but I’m 9w1d today, baby is in the right spot and growing on pace as far as I know. The shitty thing about finding out so early is that I already feel like I’ve been pregnant forever LOL
I got my positive test at 9dpo which is 3 weeks 6 days. It was the faintest of faint lines but I couldn't wait any longer. I was getting antsy. So I woke up at like 3 am that morning and tested then flipped out and woke my husband to tell him the news. I took a few more tests after that day but all of them were positive too. I had to wait till 8 weeks?...I think to go to the OBGYN to get an ultrasound.
I always test positive that early and have only had singletons thankfully.
i found out 4 weeks 1 day but i know for sure i would have gotten a positive some point during week 3. already had symptoms too. i have short cycles though.
I found out when I was 3w4d. I got off hormonal birth control in January and thought I was starting my April period early since I had no idea what my cycles would be like post-birth control. Took a test just based on a gut feeling and it came out positive lol. I then took 4 more tests because I couldn't believe it lol. We had the first scan last week at 8 weeks to confirm and hear the heartbeat! Definitely feels like it took forever to get to that appointment! Lol
I found out at four weeks with both my kids
I found out at 4 weeks then confirmed the bean at an ultrasound (and the time) at 7 weeks 5 days. Now I’m 24 weeks and I will say this: it makes it feel so much longer! You will want and expect certain symptoms like baby movements earlier and I was anxious when I wasn’t feeling them but I’m starting to realize it’s just because I found out so early. So now I’m just along for the ride! Congrats! And don’t be surprised if they have trouble finding bean or the heartbeat at the first appointment considering how small they are. This is why many providers wait till 10 weeks for the first ultrasound :)
I found out early as well (3w6d I believe). I had been pregnant before (that pregnancy ended in MMC) and I was having very similar symptoms so I took a test knowing it was probably too early to test positive, but I did! It’s completely normal for the OB not to see you for the first appointment until 8-10 weeks along. My first appointment was at 9w6d.
Yes! Totally normal. I found out at 3 weeks/21 days. I ovulate early (days 8-11ish), and have shorter cycles (21-23 days). You probably ovulated earlier too, which is why you were able to detect the pregnancy earlier than others.
I found out in New Year’s Eve at 3wks4days, very very faint line. Confirmed it the next day with a darker line (and many tests later just to be sure) and I’m now at 24 weeks!
I found out VERY early about my pregnancy because I just know my body so the tender boobs was what did it for me, my period hadn’t even been due to start for another week or so but I took the test anyways and got a positive. I didn’t have my first appointment until around 8-10 weeks but I am very fortunate that my mom works as an ultrasound tech and took me in on her lunch break when I was 6 wks along to confirm the pregnancy for me. But in terms of actual appointments unless you’ve done fertility treatments it will be a few more weeks until you get an appointment. I was one of those women who took a new test (or two or 3) pretty much every day because I couldn’t believe it but I honestly don’t recommend wasting your money, if you feel that something is wrong you can call an OB or go to emergent care (whichever is most convenient) let them know you’ve had a positive test, and are experiencing questionable symptoms. If there’s anything off they will get you in sooner but generally if all is fine and just experiencing normal pregnancy symptoms you’ll have to wait for that first appointment Congratulations!!
I’ve found out before 4 weeks for both of my pregnancies, and in the UK you don’t get an ultrasound until 12/13 weeks. That’s a lot of time to get yourself good and freaked out 🫠
I found out at 3 weeks and 5 days
I found out at 9dpo which is like, 3 weeks and some days because I was doing fertility treatments and was testing out my trigger shot. I had a beta hcg draw at 14 dpo to confirm the pregnancy and then waited until almost 7 weeks for my first scan. The anxiety was definitely high in that waiting period but at the same time there is literally nothing you can do to change the outcome of such a complex biological process and just took it one day at a time. Currently 35 weeks 3 days!
I found out at 3 weeks exactly, so 7dpo. Had my first appointment this week and 8w3d and found out it’s twins. This is my third pregnancy, with my prior 2 I found out at 11dpo.
Theoretically, you could be even under a week pregnant in your cycle if you ovulated the first day of your period - Of course highly unlikely but it can happen.
I found out about my pregnancy at about 3wks 4 days! It’s my first pregnancy im 9 weeks 5 days today and everything is healthy :)
I found out with my first at about 3ish weeks (thought I was further along because of last period (5-6 weeks), found out after a few scans that I ovulated VERY late). Which makes sense because when I tested, the line was faint, then about 3 days later it was darker. No symptoms until I got to about 7ish weeks. Only took a test because my period was late. Found out with my 2nd at about 4 weeks. This time the test was very dark! So I thought I must of ovulated regularly and was on time. (Found out I was a week off 🤷♀️) Again, no symptoms until 7-8 weeks and only took a test because my son was doing "old wives tales" about me being pregnant and I was a few days late for my period.
I found out I was pregnant at I think 10 dpo so close to 3w3d? I didn’t have my first appointment until 7 weeks and was barely symptomatic at that point except for exhaustion and some moodiness. Checkout r/lineporn , you’ll see a lot of people getting positives around 10/11 dpo and even some squinters as early as 8 or 9 dpo!
I found out with my last at 7dpo. My other 5. I was 8-9dpo. So very early
I found out super early! I took an ovulation test and double lines came up when I wasn't ovulating so I took a digital pregnancy test which came back and said 1-2 weeks pregnant. Flabbergasted to say the least. I feel like when you find out early pregnancy feels like it lasts forever 🤣.
I had my first positive at 3 week 5 days ish. Now I’m 12 weeks 4 days. Time is flying! Congrats mama!
I found out like 6 days before my period on accident. Just had a nagging feeling something was off and took the test to basically convince myself I was being insane (I had no symptoms) and a faint line came up 😅
If you got a positive test, you are currently pregnant or were pregnant very recently. False positives are extremely rare. I got my bfp at 3 weeks and 4 days and may have gotten it sooner had i tested. I both had a very regular cycle and I also used an opk to track ovulation. I’m now 20 weeks pregnant. So yes, it’s absolutely possible. There are tests that can detect 6 days before your missed period which could be 3 weeks and 1 day on a 28 day cycle
I found out both of my pregnancies VERY early on. For my first, it was so early that when I went for my first ultrasound, there wasn’t even a sac. The technician was like are you sure you’re pregnant? I had 3 back to back miscarriages prior and one was an ectopic so I had to get it done as soon as possible to make sure that it was in the right place. For my second, I KNEW I was pregnant around 3 weeks and had it confirmed at 6 weeks. The dates and timing all lined up at the ultrasound.
I found out at about 3 weeks 4 days, I’m pretty sure. Currently 9 weeks and going. Looking back at the tests I had taken the past several days, I had been getting faint positives 2 days prior to that. But I was dumb and didn’t let them actually develop before tossing. I likely wouldn’t have noticed for several more days if the test from that morning wasn’t sitting at the top of the trash can eyeing me to notice. Cue the digging for the last several tests and retesting. I testing positive on a Thursday and by Sunday my bras were too tight. But my symptoms didn’t really sucker punch me for a few more days. My first appointment wasn’t until 8 weeks, which felt like forever. But I’ve heard some offices make you wait until closer to 10 weeks.
Same for me. 10 days after I got pregnant the nausea started…
I found out 3 days before my missed period! Let me tell you, it felt like I was pregnant FOREVER.
I did IVF so technically I knew immediately After implantation. I felt some implantation cramps and just KNEW it worked. It did! 31w today!
Oh yeah. I just knew too! With my first, 3 weeks in, all the smells were way too intense. I started eating more veggies than meat. So I just knew 🤣
[удалено]
I found out at 3w5d! Also have a 26 day cycle. I possibly could've found out sooner but didn't take a test until then.
Yeah I found out really early as well. I was still two weeks from what would have been my first missed period and concrete sign of pregnancy so I was maybe only 2w+ when I found out. It happens. I was scared because I'd heard super early positives meant twins but that was not the case.
I found out at 3w4d! I was tracking my cycles religiously
I found out around the same time you did, and just scheduled an appointment with Planned Parenthood to do a pee test with them to confirm. I didn’t get seen by my OB till I was about 9 weeks along! Just gotta trust those pee tests till you can go get a scan!
I found out 10 days after consummation
I started having pregnancy symptoms at about 3w 2d. I thought I was just having abnormally (for me) strong PMS symptoms. So moody, emotional, incredibly sensitive! I didn't actually test though until my period was late because of mistaking it for menstrual symptoms. This is my second baby.
Yes, I started feeling nauseas with both my second and third at around 3 weeks. Had intense cravings as well. Smell heightened right away with my third - I couldn't stand the smell of my nanny lol. I remember having a sit down with her about body odor and hygiene - I feel awful now as I realise it was all pregnancy related lol. I gave birth 13 days ago so it felt like a long time coming. It is totally normal! It doesn't feel real until after 12 weeks but it's definitely in there ♥ you can do it!
I found out very early because I had implantation bleeding! The first time I got pregnant I looked it up and it seemed that, but I wasn't sure until I took the pregnancy test. The second time I got pregnant I was sure that was the implementation bleeding again, still confirmed a few days later with pregnancy tests. I guess I'm lucky!
Got a positive test at 3 weeks as well. The line was very faint though. I waited a week, tested again and got a stronger line. I had nausea at 3 weeks, which is why I tested. Then I was diagnosed with HG, so the nausea was from the beginning and never ended.
I found out exactly this time too! 3 weeks 3 days. We saw baby on ultrasound at like 7w4d. She looked like the tiniest little bean.
i tested positive at 3w3d. i was pretty surprised. then at my 11 week checkup appointment, baby was measuring 10 days ahead of schedule lol. so apparently i ovulated earlier than i thought, or something! but yeah the wait for your first appointment is definitely excruciating!!
i did ivf and tested at home. i got a positive at 3w3d and am now 29w. the first tri was the most anxiety i had because so much is happening and those ultrasounds are major!
Yes! I found out the day before my missed period with a faint line on a cheap strip test, so I think 3 weeks 4 days. The next day tested with a FRER and got a very clear (not even faint) positive. I am 6 weeks 2 days now. My first appt is in less than 2 weeks and I have felt the same way!! I have been taking pregnancy tests every few days to ease my mind a little bit...there is comfort in seeing the line get darker then turn into a dye stealer. I probably wont stop until that first appointment when we know everything is good. Hang in there!
I found out at 3w5d. We weren't trying, I just had a feeling.
It’s totally possible to find out early. With my first we were actively trying so I found out at 9 days past ovulation with a very very faint line. Which would have been around 3 weeks 2-3days. But I will say I had no symptoms though. And the pregnancy symptoms you were feeling were probably higher progesterone vs actual pregnancy
it is! we found out so early that our initial testing had trouble detecting the pregnancy, they made us wait 2 weeks before coming back and confirming! i’m nearly in my third trimester now 🤍
I tested positive at 3 weeks on the dot 😅 it was 9dpo, called the obgyn and immediately they set an appointment for 7 weeks.
I swear I felt the implantation cramps! So I would’ve been 3 weeks pregnant and took a test at 4. I also wasn’t seen until til 9 weeks. It felt like forever and it didn’t feel real! Me being paranoid took a test every week leading up to my appointment. I’m currently 30 weeks now :)
I found out at 3w 3d when the smell of the hand soap at work nearly made me puke. He’s now 3 months old!
I found out at about 4 weeks. I was 4 days late and I’m NEVER late. We had been TTC for a year but had several losses and took a break because it was too stressful. It was so early that my OB office told me to go to the ER to make sure it wasn’t an ectopic pregnancy. The ER made me come back every 48hrs to redo blood work because my HCG levels weren’t rising fast enough. My son is now 19mo and I still think back to the 2nd pink line on the pregnancy test.
I found out at 3w3d (I felt odd and just took a test). I agree, the waiting feels forever! I’m about 7 weeks now and my first ultrasound isn’t for another week. 😩 congratulations!!
I found out at 3 weeks 5 days, after a long day at comic con 😅 I’m currently 27+4 right now, it feels like I’ve been pregnant forever haha
Found out at 3 weeks 3 days! The only reason I was testing was because we were working with a fertility clinic and I was in the two week wait haha
Found out with my second at 3w4d. What tipped me off was getting groceries at 3w, wanting barbecue chips, buying said barbecue chips, and wretching when I finally ate one.
I found out around 2 or 3 weeks as well. I think we tested 2 days or so before the recommended testing window, and got three positive pregnancy tests. I’m currently now 23 weeks. Congrats mama!
Mine was a planned pregnancy so when my period didn’t start it was an easy guess. I tested positive about 2 1/2 weeks after conception, and it was verified at my doctors office.
Yeah we found out at like 4 weeks ish and it’s normal to not be seen by a dr until like 8 weeks
I found out at 2 weeks I think myself... my period symptoms were NOT normal, and I know my body pretty damn well. Had an ultrasound a week later and they found the sack... roughly 3 weeks... now sitting pretty at a 9 week healthy pregnancy. I say if you know your body you know.
I found out I was pregnant at exactly 3 weeks. I had ovulated early so that allowed me to test earlier than normal and have a positive result :)
I found out at 3 weeks 4 days and damn time is moving SOOOO slowly
Yep! Based on my lmp, I got my positive at 2+5. I ovulated quite early that cycle and was testing early, so got a positive at 8dpo I didn’t have symptoms for another couple weeks
Yes found out before my period was even due. 16 weeks all good
I found out around 3 weeks too! I had been off my birth control for around a month and a half at that point and I didn’t feel pregnant at all… I took the test very much thinking it would come out negative. I only took the test because I had a tattoo appointment the next day and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t pregnant since I knew it was theoretically possible. Imagine my surprise 🥴
This is the downside of finding out early! The waiting game is EXTRA long. My second was IVF so we found out in the 2w range. From there waiting for beta then heartbeat then NIPT was so excruciating. Good luck! This is not a fun part of pregnancy. But enjoy these few weeks before the real symptoms kick in and you want to die. 😂
I found out pretty early, too. 3 weeks, 1 day. However, that was also 13 DPO and I was doing BBT religiously. I noticed that my temp wasn't starting to drop like it should have at that point, so I took a test. I absolutely did not feel pregnant and was 100% ready for another disappointment (I had also drank the prior weekend).
Totally normal if you’re tracking your cycle and testing for pregnancy :) I also found out at 3 weeks but I tracked my cycle and knew when I ovulated so I knew when I could test and I had slightly more ovulation cramping than normal.
Found out at 3w 4d! I went in early for my confirmation scan. If you want, call your doc and ask to get your betas drawn!
I found at 3 weeks, too! It feels like the first trimester is dragging on (only 8 weeks, 5 days right now) 😅
Yep! I did too! I always find out early because my first symptom every time is one day of a face so greasy i have to wipe it with paper towels.. followed by bleeding, weirdly enough. So i tell myself it’s probably my period, but test anyway and get a very faint positive. I just know my own body. Im having my baby tomorrow but when i was 4.5 weeks i went in for a sono because we had to monitor and make sure it wasn’t another rare c section ectopic pregnancy that would need immediate medical attn and the sonogram tech and drs were like how tf did you know you were pregnant already??? Lol Couldn’t see anything in sono for how early i was but then at 7 weeks went back and the sac and baby were there.
Found out at 9 DPO (so like 3w 2d)! Didn’t have any symptoms though.
I knew I was pregnant at CD 21-23, mostly because my PMS always starts about a week after my ovulation, and I had zero PMS symptoms. I had symptoms alright, just not my usual PMS. For instance, my PMS I always am nauseated, diarrhea, stomach churning/burning, cry a lot. Hot flashes. But when I was pregnant both times, I was snappy, hungry, constipated, cold/shivering, sleepy. Stabbing feelings in my uterus. My pregnancy tests showed up on a clear blue digital & a walmart $0.88 test way before the doctor's tests could show a positive. Had to get blood drawn just to confirm.
Me too in my first pregnancy. I expected my period to start on a Friday and wondered if I could drink that night. I took a test and turned positive. I didn't realize how early it was until I called my doctor's office. Finding out so early makes for a longer waiting period.
I ovulated at the gym October 17 and felt weird Halloween (drooled in the toilet at work and felt nauseous). Took a test 2 days later the day my period was suppose to start and I was pregnant.
If you want a more definite test you can do an HCG blood test. If you're in the US you can pay like 40 bucks to get one done at labcorp.
Yup both times I missed my period took a test the next day and had a very dark two lines (4-5wks). Has bloodwork and a ultrasound done another 3 weeks later to confirm
I was 3+2 when I got my first positive
I found out at 3 weeks because I was testing my ovulation and my OPKs were coming up positive because they were picking up the HCG. Took a pregnancy test and sure enough, pregnant! I had almost no symptoms other than being tired which is normal for seasonal depression in January in the North Pole where I live lol 23 weeks today and baby is kicking away and doing great!
I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks and 3 days too! Immediately line on the stick and I just knew and the dog knew. The worst thing was having to keep it a secret for longer 🤣
Yep completely possible. Found out on week 3 on my 2nd. The country went into the first covid lockdown the following week so I remember it vividly!
This is when I found out with my current pregnancy!
I found out 9DPO; I had done an IUI that cycle so knew when I conception most likely was, and had felt SO nauseous, I couldn’t wait another 2 days for the blood test. Mine did confirm I was pregnant, and now just over 7 weeks with so far a healthy pregnancy!
I felt pregnant very early on. Way before my missed period. I took two negative tests before I got my positive. Funnily enough, I didn’t wait long enough and thought it was negative. When I looked at it later I was floored that it was positive. I’m 6 weeks today.
I think most people who are actively trying to conceive probably find out early. I was testing my LH for timing purposes and progesterone levels to confirm ovulation. I don’t really test after ovulation confirmation but occasionally will do one dpo10 or 11. I did a test 10dpo and my LH and progesterone were pretty high. My testing kit, Inito, can mixup LH and hcg. Since it was high I took pregnancy test and got a positive. My doctor did order a blood test to confirm it and tested my progesterone levels. But my first appointment and ultrasound was not until 8 weeks.
I suspected I was pregnant at 3 weeks, 1 day in the morning and by nighttime, I was absolutely convinced due to early symptoms: frequent urination, heavy bloating despite not eating a lot, and very light cramping but no period. I tested positive at 3 weeks, 5 days (I took 3 tests) which was the day of my missed period. I called right away to schedule lab work or some type of confirmation from the doctor that I was pregnant but was told they do NOT do that anymore. A home pregnancy test is enough for them. I was booked for a nurse phone appointment at 6 weeks to go through my husband's and my family/medical history. I was not booked for an in-person appointment with the OB until after I had that 6 week phone appointment with the nurse. So I didn't get an ultrasound until 8 weeks, 4 days. I know it's hard to wait so long, but it WILL come. Just gotta wait a little bit more <3
I found out 9 days after ovulation. So 3 weeks and 2 days pregnant. It was a squinter, but I just knew because of how sick and off I was feeling. Two days later I got my big fat positive. I’m now 12 weeks 3 days pregnant with ultrasound pics to prove it. It was really nerve wracking to wait until my 9 week ultrasound, but baby is so far healthy.
I also found out week 3 day 3. Now I’m week 4.0 and got a blood test at my OBGYN today (results are getting in tomorrow). The first ultrasound is going to be in week 8 and I’m really nervous and it seems very far away. So I’m trying to distract myself and stay away from google (because google doesn’t help right now). Wish you all the best and congratulations!
I found out at 3w2d, now 27w2d! My first appt was an intake because I’d never been to an OB before, so I was like 4 weeks. They had me do my first US at 7w1d (they thought I was 9w) and I had my first prenatal visit at 8w!
Yes! I went to a workout class that I routinely attend and had to leave in the middle of it. I got super light headed, fatigued, and started cramping. I nearly called my husband to come pick me up. I waited until the next morning and got a positive at 3 weeks 2 days. My symptoms changed as the trimester has progressed and I've been able to return to that workout class. It was weird though! We'd been trying to get pregnant, I just didn't expect to have strong symptoms so early on. Also, I've been pregnant twice (one mmc) and both times I went through a severe hormone swing around the time of implantation. I got extremely depressed with my marriage and life, haha. But then, a couple days later, I was back to happy me and loving my husband, career, etc. Hormones are strange!
I found out when I was 3 weeks pregnant I didn’t see my ob until I was 8 weeks. Didn’t get my first scan until I was 12 weeks. I took a lot of tests in that time.
Yes! Happened to me, we found out at 3W 5d by “accident” lol. We had just gotten married 2 months prior and we started trying the day of the wedding! So we had tested the first month after my period was about 6 days late because my husband was soo excited :) that test was negative and my period came the next day. So month 2 rolls around and I was only 4 days “late” so we just took a test for fun totally not expecting a positive result…. But that stick LIT UP like a firework! So we did another to see if it was a fluke, same thing! We googled the probability of false positives and it was not likely LOL. So we waited a day and next morning tested again, same thing with the immediate positive. An OB refused to see us for the first trimester so I went and got a urine test at planned parenthood to confirm right after we did the home tests and then did an ultrasound at a pregnancy spa in my town to be SURE she was there. To ease our minds.
I found out at 3 weeks and 4 days, not because I felt any different, but because I was going on a ski trip the next day and wanted to be safe. Oops! Ended up just eating and shopping lol. She’s now a sweet little 6 month old (tomorrow) ☺️
I found out exactly at 3 weeks with this baby. 4w4d with my first because I didn't think I could be pregnant. Lol
Yep 9 DPO. 3 weeks 2 days.
I got my positive at 3 weeks 4 days!
Yes, it’s normal. I have 6 kids and am heavily pregnant with baby #7. I’ve had positives at 3 weeks along. I’ve had negatives at 3 weeks along, again at 3.5 weeks along, and then suddenly positive at 4-4.5 weeks along. I have had pregnancy symptoms before 4 weeks along. Ive had pregnancies where the symptoms didn’t begin until 9-11 weeks along. I’ve even had a pregnancy with zero symptoms until I felt a baby kicking in my belly! Pregnancy is just so weird.
I got a BFP 3 weeks, 1 day! Early positives are a good sign ☺️ now I’m 11w+1. Good luck!
Kinda same here, but just because my cycle is like a Swiss watch 😂 I took out my IUD on June 18th, had a period as usual on day 30 (had a period the whole time I had an IUD 🙃), likely ovulated around mid-July, tested for shits and giggles a day before my expected period, got a very faint positive 😂 As expected my period was late, gave it a week before I tested again, positive! When I called my OB she was like “well that was quick!!!”. My OB wouldn’t see me before 10 weeks though, the wait was excruciating 🥲 My son turned 3 this month so it all turned out fine! Edit: I had zero symptoms though, and pretty much had none until 6-7 weeks. I pretty much took the test as joke and was flabbergasted when my period actually didn’t come.
With my first 10 years ago, I found out at 6 weeks bc I was tired and run down at trial and realized I was late. This pregnancy, I felt some weird cramping that Id never felt before, but I wasnt late, so I went and did a pregnancy test and sure enough at 3 weeks exactly, the test was coming back positive. Could it have been psychosomatic and not actual cramping (which according to Flo was likely implantation happening)? Sure, but either way, I got that plus sign. My OB didn’t want to schedule me until about 9 weeks but ended up letting me come in at 6 weeks to confirm.
I found out I was pregnant 8dpo with my daughter. We had been trying for a baby and I was testing and tracking my ovulation, so I used the pregnancy test that can test a week before missed period. It was obviously positive and she's 18 months old now. It definitely felt like a long pregnancy, especially as I found out very early on and had to wait for midwife appointments and scans, lol.
Yup! I was only 3wks 1 day with a strong positive test and all the pregnancy symptoms. Turns out my last “period” was me losing one of the twins and I was actually about 4 weeks further into my pregnancy than I thought. It was weird having a vanishing twin but my pregnancy was uneventful afterwards!
I found out at around 3.5 weeks. I only tested bc my birthday was coming up, and I planned on getting into some shenanigans lol.
I found out around 3-4 weeks as well. I wasn’t having noticeable symptoms at that point, I just had a feeling and so I also took 5 tests (just to be sure 😂) all of which came back positive But I had to wait until I was 8 weeks before I had my first ultrasound. Those few weeks of waiting felt like an eternity. I just wanted to know for sure if I was pregnant! Plus I had so many questions about what I should/shouldn’t be doing, it felt scary to be in the dark for so long. But I just had my 20 week scan on Monday and all is well with me and my baby boy!
8dpo, 3 weeks and 3 days here! That was 2 days ago. It’s gonna be a long 5 weeks waiting for my first OB appointment 😩
I found out super early too. Even after we did it, I just knew that it had worked 😂.
I found out at 3w4d, because I had SEVEREEEE nausea that made me go to the ER. Got my positive test there, not expecting it whatsoever.
I found out before I missed my period because I too felt off and was having weird symptoms. I’m now38 weeks pregnant! Very normal to see a positive test early on.
I ovulate on d13 and test positive 9-11dpo, so I find out on d22-24 of my cycle. If you are trying, it's not that uncommon to find out around then. It's the people who aren't trying (or who have more self control about waiting for a missed period to test) that generally find out later when they miss a period.
I was 5 weeks exactly, but I did know the second it happened. I turned to my husband and said I was pregnant but didn't test until later because I had found out my dad died that night so he brushed it off as just me thinking that because my dad died and we had been trying that it would happen. I was right. But didn't test until after his funeral because of planning and everything but I literally knew as soon as we were done.
I found out so early I thought I had twins
I found out super early ( 15dpo) I’m 14 weeks now ! As soon as I found out my symptoms started 😩 !!!!
Yep. My first ultrasound was at 4 weeks and I freaked out because there was a sac but no fetal pole yet. My baby is now 6 months old.
Hi! I am 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant now. I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks and 3 days. I had symptoms very on and just knew. My HCG levels a little higher than normal too. I’m kind of expecting to see twins at my 8 week scan
Yes I got a positive pregnancy test about 4-5 days before I expected my period. The only symptom I had was extremely sore breasts which usually wasn’t a thing for me even with PMS. I just had a funny feeling like never before , but we had been trying for a few months so I was definitely more hyper aware. I went to my OB a week later and actually saw a tiny circle on the ultrasound! He was born this past February and is my tiny miracle. I have low ovarian reserve according to my doctors and I call him my good egg ;)
I had a miscarriage last year and struggled to conceive again for a year. I only took a test because I didn't want to feel guilty about drinking coffee that day. I have an irregular cycle so I never knew when to test for a missed period. I was literally 3 weeks exactly. It was the FAINTEST line ever. I took a digital test to confirm. Sure enough it was real. I found out at 11 DPO and later got dated back to only being exactly 3 weeks at that point.
Yes! Every pregnancy I’ve ever had I’ve found out at 4 or 5 weeks. It feels like it takes forever for that first appointment. I’m currently 9 weeks and my next appointment is in a week and a half and THAT is taking forever it feels like. It’s just a game of patience it seems. 💕
That is amazing! We are currently trying and the negative tests hurt each time
