Symptoms whilst waiting for 7 week scan ?

Hi all

I'm currently 6 weeks 2 days prego & just wanted to know what type of symptoms other people experienced at this sort of stage? I've been v tired and napping most afternoons, felt a bit nauseous (but I don't know if that's due to anxiety waiting for the 7 week scan) like I'm hungry but don't really fancy anything ๐Ÿ˜ท Not had much breast tenderness, maybe a little bit sore like before I get my period but nothing particularly noticeable.

Basically I'm worried my symptoms are a bit weak (I know I'm being so annoying here ๐Ÿ˜–) but I really thought I'd be smugly vomming each morning by now, safe in the knowledge my pregnancy was properly underway!

I've been having cramping similar to my period coming & have had that on and off since before my positive test with the odd stronger cramp maybe once a day or every other day. Obviously that's all making me a nervous wreck ๐Ÿ™„

I think I've just got to the 2 week stage of the 3 week wait for the scan and am losing the plot! I'm absolutely terrified there will be nothing there or it'll be in the wrong place. I honestly thought once I got the BFP that would be it happy days but this has been worse than the 2ww in my opinion. I'm on Cyclogest and Progynova so I'm just thinking even if I have had a miscarriage I wouldn't necessarily be bleeding because of those? I've done 7 pregnancy tests in total now (the last one being at my 6 week mark & yes I know I am insane) and they've all been very strong positives.

Sorry to waffle on to you all but at the moment no one else knows we are expecting so I have no one to grill about all this! Google is useless!

Anyway, would like to hear other people's experiences waiting for their 7 week scans too ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Good luck to all of you at whatever stage you're at ๐Ÿ€ X (sorry for the long blithering post)

I can agree with the same symptoms as you, the tenderness in breasts is increasing this week as im now 7wks2days, always extra hungry but have no idea wat to eat as nothing seems appealing, sickness feeling kicked in at 6wks and ive still not vomited yet but i feel like i need to all day long which is a nightmare! Im very tired after doing the littlest of tasks and resort to laying down! I had a scan at 6weeks so have to wait 3 weeks until my 9 week scan and i also feel like if anything was going wrong i wouldnt know because of the cyclogest, makes me really worried to think the last scan was fine heartbeat located and we may not see progress at the next...suppose all we can do is wait xx

That's really encouraging that you've seen the heartbeat and all was well! I'm sure things will continue for you now - I have everything crossed for you ๐Ÿ’—

The Cyclogest thing is worrying me, my last cycle ended in chemical pregnancy but I only started bleeding once I stopped taking the Cyclogest so obviously that is whirring round in my head and playing on my mind. I'm really finding it all exhausting and I'm annoying myself with all this overthinking and overanalysing. Tomorrow I'm going to try and put it all to the back of my mind and what will be will be on Thursday at the scan ๐Ÿ™ˆ X

Babes i had not one symptom! And this wait is 100 times worse than 2ww. Everyone's different so please don't look into symptoms I drove myself mad! I'm not 28 weeks pregnant x

Ha! That's reassuring! I am having some symptoms but honestly - I'm really not sure if it's all just psychosomatic ! Hopefully all will be well on Thursday at our scan, there is nothing I can do now anyway, I'm weaning myself off google ๐Ÿ˜† X

I've had 2 boys and didn't really feel that sick. The heart burn really made me sick. I had bad cramping in the beginning and that's suppose to be your uterus stretching. Its normal to be nervous. Congrats!! Hope I helped a little.
