Conception Intuition?

Have you had an intuition that conception occurred before you had a
pregnancy test?

Some expectant mothers -- and expectant fathers -- have a "conception
intuition" during, immediately after, or within a few hours of lovemaking.
This is days before even the most sophisticated scientific tests can reveal
pregnancy.

I would like to hear from you if you've had a conception intuition. Call
it a subtle inner glow, a sense of knowing. the sense of a "third presence,"
a healthy, peaceful, exciting feeling, intuition, a gut feeling, an inner
certainty.

Please share your story with me. I am doing research on conception
intuitions and would like anecdotal stories.

I have had it either way. One time I was 100% sure I was pregnant, and was
not. This time I was sure I wasn't pregnant, and so far so good, 7w along
with twins. Now I'm talking about the hunches shortly after ovulation.

I do usually know what is going to happen about 3-4 days before I get my
period. That hunch has never been wrong, but after several miscarriages I
tend to ignore it for my mental well-being.

I think research would be difficult unless you get women to tell you before
they test (which might be difficult) because ime women who "just know" often
forget about the times when they "just knew" and weren't (or write it off as
a m/c which is possible obviously).
Anyway the "healthy feeling" wouldn't describe how I felt during pregnancy.
"Gut feeling" well maybe you could count the nausea which I got both times
before I tested.

Absolutely. With both pregnancies, I had morning sickness much before there
would be any physiological reasons for it. With my first, I knew within
hours of having sex that I (would become) pregnant (and that was before
ovulation). (I fell asleep, and when I woke up I was nauseous). That cycle
was the first time I ever felt ovulation. With my second, I had an intense
feeling of "this is it--I'm going to get pregnant this cycle!"

Of course, I was also charting both times, so I knew that the conditions
were right.

My husband and I had just decided to try for a baby in June 2004.
October 2003 we went to a party at a friend's house and for some reason
I just didn't feel like drinking alcohol (I had a sip or so of wine).
Anyway, next day we woke up (& I had miscalculated my cycle, so I didn't
even know I was late) & I just went to the store and got myself a
pregnancy test. I just had this real strong feeling that I was pregnant.
I took the test and I was pregnant.

I had no symptoms of pregnancy, except for bloating which isn't
neccessarily a clue if you don't know. We had our first child, a
daughter, born on August 4th 2004.

Uh, do you mean because of the sore boobs and having to pee constantly?
Yes, we had a strong suspicion that Monika was pregnant, but I am not
sure I would cal it "intuition."

OK. I will have to admit to one experience of that sort with my first
daughter many years ago. I had a sharp, short lived stomach ache 11
days after lovemaking that would have likely coincided with implantation
even though the mother was 1500 miles away. Does that count?

Yep. Strong intuition 5 or 6 times during the 11 months (total, 4 with
#1, 7 with #2) trying to conceive. Absolutely convinced I was pregnant.
In fact, the month *before* I conceived, both times, I had strong
intuition followed by early pregnancy symptoms, glowing, lightheaded,
peaceful feeling . . . . and a late period.

However, the two actual times I did conceive, I was convinced "this
month wasn't it," since I didn't really feel pregnant, and besides, our
timing had been waaay off (actually, in the first case, our timing had
been exactly once!). The only "I must be pregnant" came with #2 when I
was getting major symptoms, high temps, no period, and a string of
false negative tests. By this time I had such a reputation for having
defective intuition that dh nearly fell down when I showed him the
long-awaited positive test.
So, my conception intuition isn't worth a hill of beans!

You beat me to it! This is exactly what I was thinking. You'd want to
have people keep records about how they felt after sex, and then you
could go back and see if there was anything different when they
actually conceived.

Just collecting anecdotes, you'll miss out on the women who "just
know" and are wrong, as well as the ones who retrospectively say,
"come to think of it, there *was* something particularly special about
that one time..."

My baby's conception was preceded by the exchange, "It's too late in
the month." "Well, then let's just practice." Obviously, I had no
moment of intuition. ;-)

Have you like never heard of google dip ****? You have to be the dumbest
troll ever.

A quick google search finds you posting in a host of random groups from
various pregnancy, parenting, infertility, adoption, abortion and
breastfeeding groups ...many have called you on why you are trolling for
pen pals in alt.personal.teens and pretending you are your teenage
son...who 'oh what a coincidence' also likes to study paranormal
experiences...much like your interest in psychic parents and babies.

And I see you are posting in alt.bible as someone called Becky who was
raped by her step father when she was 12.

Now **** off and and get some good psychiatric help and stop annoying
the nice people here with you inane questions.

Now *that's* a new one! Yeah, we've been trying to figure out what this guy
is up to in the alt.infertility ngs.
