5 weeks and 5 days

[Lucy92x]

Since I posted this morning, although the bloated tummy is still there the pain in my boobs has almost all but gone and my back/pelvic ache has barely been there today either. I know this can be normal from all the things I’ve read and what people have said but I’m so scared that it isn’t going to end well as I just don’t feel pregnant. I know I need to believe and live in the moment that for now I am, it’s just so hard not being in control and not knowing😟

Hi Lucy.

I’m pretty much exactly the same. Also 5 week 5 days! I have sore boobs but that’s it. Don’t feel pregnant at all!

This is my second pregnancy (I have a 2 year old) and I do remember going to my scan with my first and thinking there couldn’t possibly be a baby as had so few symptoms but there was! Although I’m still very anxious and analyse every tiny symptom (they were both ivf pregnancies) I think sometimes they do just come and go and it can be normal this early to feel like nothing is going on!

Thank you for replying. It’s such a traumatic time isn’t it, I don’t know how anyone who’s suffered infertility can enjoy this bit. Congratulations on your pregnancy babe xx

Hi Lucy92x I am in exactly the same boat, 5 weeks 6 days with only a few symptoms (which could just be the side effects from the progesterone suppositories) and I have another 11 days to wait until the scan 🙄 It’s so hard isn’t it not knowing if everything is progressing as it should be but I suppose we just need to try and keep positive🤞When is your scan? Xx

[Lucy92x in reply to Zoexx]

I’m 5+6 now too, my scan is on Monday babe, thankfully. Still feels like a life time away so another 11 days would kill me. The suppositories although I know we take them for a good reason, I still worry that they mask soo much xxxx

We're many thinking and feeling the same way it seems. I'm supposedly 6w today. This is my second pregnancy also, my baby is soon to be two. And I seem to remember from last time that the sore boobs don't last for very long initially. They're sore from growing, but when that initial growing is done (it's not like they'll double in size for most women), they are less sore. But well, I've already outgrown my bra at 6w - feeling such a relief every time I take it off 🤣

[Lucy92x in reply to sun-and-rain]

Congratulations. Hopefully this will be my one and only, we didn’t have any eggs to freeze this time. Although I do have one funded go left if this doesn’t work out but I’m hoping so much it does.

I just feel like I should feel pregnant and I really don’t it’s a bizarre feeling x

Hi! Don't get scared! When I found out I was pregnant I had very sore breasts but after a few days my breasts were normal and they stayed that way for a week or two. But then at 7 weeks the symptoms started coming back with a vengeance including vomiting. But I have days when I could run a marathon.

Even now at almost 9 weeks symptoms come and go. I wish you a healthy and happy pregnancy!

[Lucy92x in reply to Hidden]

Thank you babe. I’m over analysing it all aren’t I xx

[Hidden in reply to Lucy92x]

Believe me I was over analysing everything in the first weeks after having a chemical back in December. When I went at 7 weeks for my scan I wasn't very optimistic. Because I read that the morning sickness starts at 6 weeks and I didn't had anything besides on and off sore breats. But little beans heart is beating fast, growing and snuggled really good in my belly. We just can't relax, it's in our blood. And Mr Google doesn't help. Everything you search in ends in the most dramatic scenario.

But I try to be as calm as possible and even if it doesn't end good, stressing won't help or do any good. May we all have a healthy and full term pregnancies. God help us!

Thank you beauty. I need to believe and be positive. I can’t change the outcome right now so I need to manifest that xx

[Positivechangeplease]

Just remember that it’s very early days and symptoms (if you get them) don’t often kick in properly yet. They do come and go and some people just don’t experience them.

[Lucy92x in reply to Positivechangeplease]

Thank you beauty. Hopefully that’s the case x

In exactly same situation. I’m 5 weeks. Definitely don’t feel pregnant. Most of my symptoms are from my meds. It’s the weirdest thing and I’m wishing the days away to our 1st scan. It’s hard to believe anything is in there!! Totally normal xx

[Lucy92x in reply to JenRoy]

It’s such a surreal feeling isn’t it. I’ve got a few on/off dull aches today but otherwise I feel normal. I’m glad it’s not just meet though. Hopefully our little babes are growing and getting snug. When is scan day for you? X

[JenRoy in reply to Lucy92x]

5th April 😩…so far away!! But I’ve a busy next few days and then away on hols for a week so I’m hoping time will pass as quickly as it can. Terrified of the scan! Our last one was bad news so now we’re completely traumatised 😢. Just hoping this is the one 🙏. Yours isn’t too far away now? Hope the next days pass quickly for you. Good luck!!

[Lucy92x in reply to JenRoy]

Oh no, sorry about that 😟 this is what I’m scared of, it not being good news, I feel like I’m having to prepare myself for bad news then anything good is a bonus. Mines on Monday babe x

[JenRoy in reply to Lucy92x]

The chances of it being good news are much higher than bad. I guess it’s good to be prepared but good to stay positive. That’s what I’m trying to do 😬. Best of luck for Monday!! X

[Lucy92x in reply to JenRoy]

Thank you babe, enjoy your holiday xxx

Mine too is April 5th! This is my second pregnancy, and it started not very optimisticly with a weeks bleeding between 5dpt and 12dpt, then hcg levels increasing steadily through two control tests, but not doubbleing during 48 hours as they should ideally, so... Really do hope it worked still so we get good news at the scan. I get so physically reduced from the progesterone, so I hope I've not exposed myself and my family to this mess in vain... Last time I didn't want the scan. I wanted to trust. Surrendered at 10w though, so had my 15 sec scan to know there was something alive and kicking in there. Now, with this start which was so very, very different from last time, I certainly want the scan as soon as possible 🙈
