@carcebe, I fail to see the connection of the belief of the host becoming the body of jesus and you believing you knew you were pregnant instantly by having an out of body experience. Please explain.

Both things that I don't think are scientifically or rationally possible, not a real thing, didn't actually happen. But at some point I believed it.
{Spoiler TW} No something different. The night after we DTD, I had like a momentary blackout. I was in a meeting with my boss. I was like OMG I just got pregnant. I knew. I don't know how and I don't believe in that stuff, but I knew. I can't describe it in any other way than that I truly felt like another soul was then within my body. A transcendent experience, as much as catching him when he was born.

Trashing a religious tenet was meant to legitimize her experience. Like "hey guys, I don't believe in this superstitious religious nonsense I'm smarter than that so trust me when I tell you this crazy thing real!"
I'm having strong feelings about this whole affair. Not one of them is surprise.
My actual feelings about religion and that tenet in particular are not that it is superstitious nonsense, just that I personally no longer believe in the literal truth of the claim. But this is a digression now.

Wow, so as a Catholic who truly believes that this happens, I am not supposed to be offended by this?

Are we going to start another Protestant Reformation here? I have deep respect for the faith, but it is no longer my creed. Not my intention to have a religious debate on the TWW thread.

it was your use of it that upset me. I don't try to convert anyone, but please be aware how you comment would be taken.
Cycle/month: 1/1 CD/DPO: 32/? Timing: maybe -2, -1 Testing plans: maybe this weekend, unless AF shows RRCS: I've been traveling for work & didn't check in yesterday. When I woke today I had my PMS cramps, so I figured AF would show today, but newp. I did get asked if I was pregnant by a stranger today...so that was fun. 1-3 days before my period I look like I'm in my 2nd trimester. So I'm probably out. GTKY: yes! But I don't go often b/c my IL's have a pool, & they live next door (yep).
@carcebe not to stir the pot and this is gonna sound worse than I intend but: what & how do you mean "you knew immediately" that it worked with your first? Like, you knew you were pregnant before you missed you period or do you mean something different?
