Was your pregnancy test with your LOs a surprise to you?

With my first, yes. I had no idea I even missed my period because I didn't even keep track of anything like that.

With my second, it wasn't really a surprise because we were trying, but I was shocked it happened so soon. :)

With my first it was a little bit of a surprise that it happened so fast! First month we were officially "trying" and boom--bun in the oven.

With DD we had been trying a while. Had a MC in between. I was thrilled, but cautious...

No and yes : ) lol We were ttc and gave up. Then I had to get an MRI. Just to be sure I took a test before I left for the MRI and it had 2 faint lines.

Yea kinda. I was two weeks past my period and nauseous so you'd think I would know. But I was pretty irregular anyway and I had taken test about every month and kept getting let down so I was tryig really hard not to think about symptoms and not to take a test. I ate a butterfish seemed like it made me sick(friend is a TERRIBLE COOK) so I thought it was that but finally decided to take a test and when it was positive I was screaming and jumping up and down by myself lol. I called my dh and left him a message because he was gone for work and I was too excited to wait. Then I text a couple friends in a different timezone and had to wait til the next day for everyone else since it was around midnight. Great memory.

Neither were planned, but I wasn't overly surprised when either turned up positve. My first, I had a pretty good feeling, but was kind of in denial, it was a huge shock. I wasn't married, in my last few months of college and living at home with strong Catholic school-marriage-move in together-then babies, type parents. With our second I knew almost right away. My dreams are very hormone related. When I was pregnant going to sleep was like going to the movies. The first realistic dream I had I knew. But, both times I just had that feeling, I knew there was life in there.

With my 1st, it was complete shock. Although no protection was used, I was told my chances of getting pregnant were slim to none. I had pain in my abdomen and went to a clinic and they tested me and my aunt worked there and was the one who told me I was pregnant LOL. With my 2nd, we weren't trying either but we DTD ONE time without protection, and I knew almost right away I was pregnant. When I took a test at home 13 days later I KNEW it would be positive.

Actually yes. We were headed to Kings dominion that day and something just told me to test before leaving. Thank goodness I did or I probably wouldn't have my baby boy.

nope, I only took them to prove it to DH that I wasn't crazy. DD I never took a test, a few days late I had a feeling I was, then a few weeks late I KNEW I was.
