Hope you had a nice Easter and are keeping safe and well.
I’m currently almost 6 weeks (5.5 exactly today) and I’m not really experiencing many symptoms. No nausea or no sickness. My breasts aren’t particularly sore - sometimes sensitive when I really prod them. I’ve had mild back ache, both bowel activities (tmi), recently the metallic taste in the morning and slight fatigue (more so from lack of sleep I think) and I do urinate more but then I’m drinking heaps more. I’ve had mild cramping and I mean mild a week or so ago but just don’t feel pregnant. Does this make sense? I know we shouldn’t compare as everyone is different but has anyone else had this and gone onto have a successful viability scan? My scan is 24th and it seems forever away. I’m sure it’s my anxiety that’s killing me but I’d be interested to here about your symptom journeys and it might give me peace of mind. TIA XX
Ps I actually get scared posting stuff like this for fear of being told off or even just overly paranoid so I’m sorry. This is all new for me...

Hey lovely, have a read through some of my posts. They have mirrored this pretty much. I’m 8 and a half weeks and still havent had anything really. Ive had 3 scans and all has been absolutely fine.
Dont get me wrong i’m still super anxious, i have days where i’m convinced something has gone wrong, and other days where i’m more relaxed. Trying to learn to trust your body after years of infertility struggles is really hard. But you are doing all you can to keep the baby safe and thriving at the moment, thats all you can do.
Hey babe, my god I feel like your stalker. I’ve gone through all your posts. I feel like I mimic your journey. It’s like hearing me in my head. An I’m actually the most positive person you’ll ever meet. Disgustingly positive but I just am struggling a tad with this. I wouldn’t wish symptoms on anyone as such but it’s like a reassurance piece. Like others have said to you though, some have had and some haven’t but everyone is different. I feel like I read more negative things about MC and MMCs then I do anything else - or is that because we are worried and naturally programmed to seek this stuff out. I even find myself googling the same things two to three times a day “early pregnancy with no symptoms” and even stats on MC and MMC compared to success rates. Please tell me I’m not a loon. It’s such a tough journey and it hurts your heart so much when you want something so bad. Thank you sunshine for directing me to look through your threads. I wish you all the best, love and positivity for your onward journey. I’m hanging on in there lovely. Isolation on an ivf journey - I mean you couldn’t even make it up haha xxx
I am a glass half empty person 🙈 so if i can be a bit positive you defo can! 😀
Someone said to me the other day as amazing as this forum is, you do get somewhat of a skewed sense of normality. Because of how sensitive pregnancy and birth can be not many post about their positive stories for fear of upsetting someone, but we all come on here at hard times to seek support. So it can seem that MMC is super common when in reality its not. I do still have to tell myself this every day though as im convinced it’ll happen to me 🤦🏻♀️
I have 0 symptoms today. Boobs not sore in the slightest, i dont feel tired, crampy, nothing. I’m constantly hungry but thats not unusual for me. Tomorrow i might have sore boobs for like an hour and thats me done again. So weird. Ive booked another reassurance scan for next week when i’ll be 9 and a half weeks. It can be expensive, but if you’re able to look into local places that do it and book one in for a few weeks after your one next week. Hopefully it’ll continue to reassure you xx
You’re so right. Yes I think I’ll book one after our 7 week scan on 24th for around the 9/10 week mark. There is a place locally to pay privately. Sending love and light to you xx
We are about the same weeks pregnant the only thing I’ve had is nausea now and then and cramping but I was worried people were like are you feeling this and that and I’m like nope 🙄 the only thing that will put you at ease is to have a scan. I have one this Friday but couldn’t wait so ended up booking a private one last week and I feel so much better knowing things are okay💖
Ah you had a scan at 5 weeks? Could you see much? I know it’s just so hard when you want to feel pregnant, whatever that feels like! I’m forever searching for signs and symptoms. Sending love hunny - good luck for Friday xx
She said I was like 5 weeks 5 days and yes could see the little jelly bean and heartbeat and the sac 😊 the appointment was like 15 mins got to see everything on a big screen and she also checked my ovaries which are still quite large It was £50 for the scan and a photo which is a lot but was totally worth it
Just wanted to say, hang in there Kelz 😘 like you said.. get yourself booked in for a private scan for some peace of mind. And definately don't compare your symptoms to anyone else's... try stay as calm free as possible 24th is 1 wk 5 days.... 🤞 everything will go well... try stay calm hun and please please don't worry 😘😘😘 xxxx thinking of you x
The only symptoms I had that early were my boobs, and frequent urination. I did develop the metallic taste (yuck) not long after. Very glad that's gone. But I never had morning sickness, thank goodness. And I'm pregnant with twins. I did have extreme exhaustion as well, but i think that was due to the extra HCG I was producing.
No symptoms at all. I found myself wishing I felt sick!
I thought there’s no way I can be lucky enough to have no symptoms, that’s just not me. (I’m the one who has awful periods and gets a cold at the drop of a hat and my mum had morning sickness so bad she ended up in hospital like kate Middleton did, and i usually take after mum in all her ailments!)
I was so scared when I went to my 7 week scan that I would see nothing...but I saw a baby measuring on track and a strong heartbeat 💗 , so you never know!! Don’t worry, keep visualizing a healthy baby growing in there. Big hugs xx
