6weeks+5 symptoms fading?

[Belangalo]

I got my natural BFP last Saturday and I have my viability scan coming up on Monday but I think my symptoms are fading. 😩 It's freaking me out!

On Wednesday I was so sick with nausea all day that I could barely move. I felt pretty nauseous the day before as well...then yesterday...not much nausea at all! My breast still ache but I think my nipples are less sore and I don't think my stomach is as bloated as it was 🤔 I know that I may be over analysing things but the "full" feeling I had seems to have faded as well... so I am worried.

Has this happened to anyone else? I think all I want is loads and loads of morning sickness all the time! That would probably make me feel better! 🤣

I know that anxiety after all the IVF failure is normal...but I just seem to live in fear. That horrible voice in my head keeps saying that of course this won't work - I'm just not that lucky! Is there any way to stop my worry? ... my scan is 3 days away and everything will be answered then in any event.

Pregnancy symptoms seem to come and go.

All I have at present is sore boobs and the occasional cramp. In the beginning I was getting more mild/moderate cramps and headaches.

I’ve had no real typical symptoms like nausea, food aversions or cravings etc which tbh isn’t a bad think!

I know how you feel with the anxiety, I’m sure if it was our first ever pregnancy and it happened naturally we would be really enjoying it right now, but because slot of us have had long journeys and heartache it’s very difficult

If your scan is in 3 days time you haven’t got long to wait - don’t worry to much about your symptoms - you’ll soon see what’s going on.

I bled the day before my viability scan and thought it was all over - was pleasantly surprised to see everything was okay with a good heartbeat

Thank you so much for telling me this Running79!! I really do appreciate it and it is so good to hear from others experiencing the same rough journey. 🤗 I completely agree!! If we'd fallen pregnant naturally when we first started trying FOUR YEARS ago then I would be bursting with happiness and I would have an innocence, a naivety...something that the last four years kicked out of me. I just know the stats, I know how hard it can be to even get over the first hurdle of a BFP ... and then the long journey filled with milestones I need to hit ahead!! It's a lot of days to carry our little miracle without something going wrong...so I just panic.

3 days until the viability scan 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 I have everything crossed that it is good news!

Hi there, I have had no symptoms at all and I am 12 weeks pregnant now. I questioned this with my midwife as I was also worried and it didn’t make me feel like it was really happening.

Some people get really bad symptoms, some on and off and some none at all, so really don’t look into that too much and look at it like your symptoms easing is a way of the universe telling you that you’ve gone through enough to get to this point and it’s giving you are break.

All the very best of luck for your scan, enjoy it 💓

Thanl you so much for this Sukibubs! I feel so much better for reading it!! 🤗 I really hope this is the universe giving me a break! We have such a long way ahead of us but I'll do everything I need to do to bring this little miracle into our lives! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hi lovely, just wanted to let you know that what symptoms I had faded too at 6 weeks and I am nearly 17 weeks now. I checked my diary and week 5 I felt queasy sometimes all day and strong food smells I would run out of the kitchen 😂 6w1day honestly I felt rough in the morning and sometimes eating helped to take it away so I had crumpets and from 3pm that day I felt as normal as could be. The following days leading up to the scan the only thing I had an odd morning was toothpaste made me gag but again throughout the day very normal and was starting to eat foods that previously had made me feel sick. The queasy sick feeling had completely disappeared. The day of the scan I had completely ruled myself out and had prepared myself as much as I could. I also had what looked like old blood the day before the scan. Anyways next thing I am in the scan room and boom we have a heartbeat. I am never short of words but I was speechless. I know it’s hard and we always associate pregnancy with sickness and feeling terrible but that is absolutely not always the case. Good luck for your scan xxx

This story made my day Jonesy!! Thank you!! I feel so much better knowing that other people have experienced the same come and go of symptoms! 🤗 I am feeling positive and hopeful today and I really want that scan to show me good things!!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

No worries! I remember asking the same thing and it was such a relief to know I wasn’t the only one. This site really helps to keep your sanity😂 xxx

So pleased for you getting your bfp! The symptoms come and go, it's a weird feeling to be desperate to be sick but that's what this process does to you!

Enjoy every moment of being pregnant at last and focus on the present. The aches and pains and sickness will come soon enough! X

[Belangalo]

Thank you so much for reassuring me chiefly! This makes me feel better! Today I am in a much more positive mental frame of mind! 😊

Hi, I know exactly how you feel, as I was in your shoes few weeks ago. Also, fallen pregnant naturally after giving up on IVF and prepping for DE embryo transfer. I couldn't believe my BFP, waited for my period to come, then waited for MC (had one before). I had 0 symptoms till 8 weeks, so I was sure I had a missed MC. I came to my 1st scan at 7 weeks telling the doctor that I didn't think I was pregnant anymore. Basically it was an anxiety filled nightmare until 12 weeks. Just try to keep busy, don't worry about the symptoms and take it one day at a time. Wishing you good luck for the scan!

[Belangalo in reply to Marisa32]

That makes me feel better Marisa! Tjabk you 🤗 We'reWe're in the same boat! I was gearing up for our second cycle and already looking at DE if things didn't go anywhere e next cycle. Then...one syringe later after lap/hystero and I get a BFP! It doesn't feel real and I have so many worries 😅 I am feeling more positive today though so hope I can ride this through to my seven week scan on Monday...and that the scan shows on good news!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Hi I feel exactly the same as you. I just had my BFP confirmed on otd a few days ago and was so excited. Since then I feel less bloated, less cramps, and keep poking my boobs to see if they are sore. I feel like I have less symptoms. So I have been freaking out waiting for my second blood test and afraid that my HCG levels will not have gone up. It’s just so hard and I do think because we all know the failure and challenges it makes things worse. I honestly wish there was an everyday test to make sure you are still pregnant. Glad to be not alone in this. Good luck with your scan!
