Early pregnancy symptoms...

[ICSIBaby86]

I feel like I’m being neurotic now. I am so nervous, last night I went to bed and my breast tenderness and sickness had eased, I felt relatively normal. I had a panic that something has gone wrong. Do your symptoms come and go? I’m struggling to believe I’m still pregnant. I was going to test again but I thought I’m just torturing myself. I wish I felt sickness and cramping but I feel very little other than tearful and anxious ...

Firstly, congratulations 😊 Secondly, symptoms can come and go and some people, like me, never really get any! I was like you though, I just wanted to feel something, but now I'm out the other side I'm so glad I had very few symptoms. Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy xx

I dreamt last night I’d lost it, I woke up poking my boobs and they weren’t that sore, I’d also felt sick the previous day and realised I hadn’t felt sick all day, I ended up waking my partner up and he was just frustrated with me, I want all the symptoms 🙈 thank you sharing it makes me feel better. I’m still only 4weeks 6 days so I’m sure there’s plenty of time for symptoms to appear, if they do xxx

I had a dream like that too and ended up booking a private scan (I was further along though). It's natural to feel so anxious, hence the dream. Yep, it's still early days for you; a lot of people don't report many symptoms until around 6 weeks + What I realised is that symptoms can actually be very subtle, so even if you don't get severe sickness or painful boobs, you will start feeling things at some point. I didn't realise this until I went into my second trimester. Zxx

I have a son from a previous relationship he’s 10 now ! I can barely remember how I felt, I can remember lots of cramping but I think that was because it was my first pregnancy. I just read horror stories where symptoms have vanished and have lost their babies. I should stop reading so much x

I never had sore boobs with my second round (FET) plus also had no sickness the whole pregnancy. Just more loo trips from about 6/7 weeks and then around 8 weeks increased hunger xx

Congratulations on your BFP! I know it's easier said than done but try to relax and not symptom check. I drove myself crazy until our 7 week viability scan.

I am currently 10 +2 weeks and the only symptom I've experience from week 5 onwards was fatigue. I had sore boobs whilst I was stimming but once the ET was complete the soreness completely disappeared. It still early days so theres plenty of time for symptoms to develop or maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones.

With my 2 full term pregnancies I only had sore boobs I didn’t have any other symptoms all through my pregnancies. I didn’t with my mc pregnancies either and only had sore boobs with one out of three.

I think unless you’ve been through this you don’t really understand. My partner doesn’t even really fully get it, his attitude is we have a positive be happy !! But we feel every twinge and cramp it’s so much more difficult for us women mentally xx

Congratulations and try not to stress too much (easier said than done). My symptoms have come and gone throughout. Most days I'm just tired and I don't even know if that is the baby or just me! I was a mess until my 12 week scan, it is so scary and I was certain that my gyno would tell me that the baby stopped growing, it was my fault though. I had spent too much time on forums and reading some really awful stories. You have to remember that most pregnancies go well and as you progress the chances of a MC get smaller and smaller. I hope you will feel a little more relaxed soon ❤️

Thank you I’ve removed myself from all forums today except for this one, I even deleted my Facebook. I’ve had bounds of energy today! Ive even cleaned my house right through ! Friday and yesterday I could barely keep my eyes open ! I’m just panicking il get to my scan and there will be nothing there. I’m finding it really hard to trust my body when I’ve always viewed it as the enemy! I’m still very early so hoping more symptoms will make an appearance through the next few weeks xxx

One thing my doctor said is that once implanted the embryo becomes like a little parasite and will do everything to survive, and if it doesn't there is a reason. Remember that symptoms come and go. I never believed this, and when I woke up feeling ok I would spend the whole day panicking. When is your scan?

[Alb1234]

Hi, I wrote a post this morning, I’m feeling exactly the same! Good luck with everything 😁 xxx

[ICSIBaby86 in reply to Alb1234]

I just read it ! I’m so glad someone else feels the same. I’ve cleaned my house from top to bottom today in a panic ! I’ve also notice my breasts hurt less when I’m not wearing a bra! So I put a bra on and they do feel slightly tingly again 🙈🙈 I’ve been listening to pregnancy affirmations on YouTube as well ! They have helped calm me down abit xxxxx I hope you feel better soon, no more boob prodding from us xxx

[Alb1234 in reply to ICSIBaby86]

Haha, boob prodding 😂 I can’t stop! Everything goes through your mind doesn’t it.

When do you have a scan?? Xxx

[ICSIBaby86 in reply to Alb1234]

I feel a bit calmer tonight, until the next time anyway I have a scan on the 29th of April Il be just about 7 weeks then ! How about you xx

[Alb1234 in reply to ICSIBaby86]

Mines May 1st 😍😍 I cannot wait!! Good luck, please keep me updated xx

[Lumie in reply to Alb1234]

I'm so happy for you both that yours was positive and I'm loving reading your symptoms. But I completely understand how nerve wracking it is to not know what's going on. You guys are pregnant, look after yourselves .. don't go crazy! 29th April and 1st May are not that far away. Keep positive. Keep me posted how you get on too xx

It’s so worrying isn’t it. Symptoms do come & go this is very normal. Apparently the body gets used to pregnancy hormone & only gives symptoms when levels rise! And some women don’t have any symptoms! This is also normal. My mother in law had no symptoms with any of her 3 pregnancies but had 3 healthy sons

It’s still very early days & most women who aren’t TTC wouldn’t even know they were pregnant at this point.

I only had breast pain at 3/4 weeks fatigue didn’t kick in till I was 5 weeks & boy did it!!! I had no morning sickness with this pregnancy but I didn’t with my son. Some women don’t have symptoms kick in till 6 weeks.

I agree with others that if that an embryo is right it will survive.

I think worrying is very normal, I still at 33 weeks worry. I think after the hard struggle we’ve had it’s sadly normal.

The best advice I can give you is to take it one day at a time. Today you are pregnant tomorrow you might not be but today you are & will feel happy about it. That’s what got me through the early weeks ( it was very hard as I had spotting especially as we had a chemical pregnancy prior to it)

Wishing you the best with your pregnancy ❤️xoxo
