From one LTTC'er to another, I totally understand your concerns. It's so hard to embrace the pg and trust your body to do its thing.
But let me reassure you that yes, absolutely, it's normal for symptoms to come and go. I felt fine for a few weeks, hungry and a bit tired but no MS, no stretchy cramps, nothing. I can clearly remember at 6-7 weeks my husband saying - "hey, maybe you won't get sick at all!" - and then bam, hello insane nausea.
Some days I felt hideous, others fine. It was always just when I was feeling better that something new would hit.
It starts to feel more real after the first few scans and bump starts to make an appearance. The first tri is the hardest - I looked at my positive tests about a million times (yes, I kept them!) to remind myself that yep, I was in fact up the duff finally. That actually helped a lot.
Take each day as it comes and look after yourself. Congrats again
Oh Buffy. Thankyou so much. I am now crying... Bah...
I didn't think I would be this scared.... Just started telling people on the weekend. And now I think I'm scared even more that I have jinxed myself... Doh....
Im a bit of a teary sook anyway... But maybe it's the hormones too....
Big big big hugs. Symptoms coming and going is very normal, and being worried about it is even more normal. Unfortunately, the LTTTC journey doesn't seem to end with the BFP, it has latched on and follows us for life. Enjoy your next scan, I hope you see a beautiful bouncing little bubba.
Yep, totally normal for symptoms to go on a holiday. Some days there it will feel annoyingly 'normal' and then the worry really kicks in, and then as suddenly as the symptoms 'disappear', BAM, they are back!
FWIW I rarely felt any real consistent symptoms before the end of 6 weeks and more into 7 weeks.
Hunger is a FANTASTIC symptom as well, man i could just keep on eating in the beginning
myturn. I am in a bit of a different situation to you so I hope you don't mind me replying...it took me 3 years and 3 mc in that time to conceive DS2. I had NO morning sickness at all and my symptoms would come and go. It's very stressful! This pg I have had absolutely no symptoms at all apart from cramping early on. I've had bleeding from 6-14 weeks, low hcg and really low progesterone (which is suspected as the reason I was mc)
I have everything crossed for you Hun xx
my symptoms went from really intense at 3.5 weeks to non-existent at 6.5 weeks - so much so that the last appointment with FS at 6.5 weeks he gave me a referral for another viability scan because it all just stopped abruptly. a few days later is started again in a big way. and thats how the whole pregnancy progressed - sick as a dog for a few days, one or two great days, and then extremely ill again! it was constantly screwing with my head!
