hi girls! I'm new to bellybelly. Just found out at the weekend that I'm (about) 6 weeks pregnant. Reason I didnt find out till now is because I have no symptoms at all. When I missed my period I did a test which was negative, so didnt think anything more until it still hadn't come three weeks later. Went to doc at the weekend who said there was no need to re-test and is sending me for a dating scan in 2 weeks. I'm really confused though - I have no symptoms whatsoever. Apart from greasy skin and moodiness, there is no way I would think I'm pregnant. I know I'm lucky that I'm not tired/sick/hungry/sore boobs/cravings/food aversions etc., but I'm a bit worried reading about everbody else's symptoms. I honestly feel 100% normal. I'm beginning to wonder if the test could be wrong. Or if something isn't going right. I know I'm still very early but I would have thought I'd have some symptoms! Any thoughts??
its quite normal not to have any overt signs of pregnancy at 6 ish wks..some women get cramping period type discomfort or really sensitive nipples, aching breasts or frequent wee
most of the tell tale symptoms are not really noticeable for some women at all, others notice them at 6 wks or generally around 8 wks...number one mmm period missing and then all the pieces of the puzzle kind of all slot into place
I think most of us at one stage thought...maybe that test was wrong...Im not feeling pg, or sick...but wait...before you know it YOU will feel pg
Have you actually had a positive home pregnancy test or on in the doctors surgery or blood test yet? The way you've written your post makes it look like the doctor is basing your pregnancy on being 3 weeks late alone. I've seen heaps of ladies in here that have been really late but were not pregnant. Did the doctor do an internal exam? Sorry for all the questions but I don't want you getting your hopes up if the doctor has jumped to the wrong conclusion. If you haven't had a positive HPT or a BT yet I'd suggest you get one ASAP so you know for sure. No point putting yourself through a scan if there's nothing there to look at.
It is possible to have very few symptoms early on. I had none with my first one, I just "felt" pregnant. Second one I had a few symptoms by 4 weeks, third one I had heaps by 4 weeks. Everyone is different and every pregnancy is different.
If I've misunderstood your post and you have had a positive test - good luck with everything.
greasy skin and moodiness is a symptom. But be happy if that is all you have for now. Things can change but I does make it hard when there is nothing to make you feel pg. Dont worry soon enough I am sure you will start to feel something, even if it is only a swollen belly.
Thanks girls. Its my first pg so I have no idea what I should be expecting and reading about other people's symptoms got me a bit worried! I guess I should just enjoy it while it lasts!
Satya, I did have a positive HPT.....but I also had a negative one! First, when my period was about 2 weeks late I did one and it was negative. I wasnt concerned that it was late as I had just come off the pill and was expecting it to be late anyway.....but I was a little suspicious because I had got loads of spots which is not normal for me. Then at the weekend (2-3 weeks after the first one) I did another one and it was positive. When I went to the doctor she said there was no need to do another test. Maybe I should do another HPT...

Hey Kitz. I just found out that i am pregnant with my first bub as well. I had a doctors appt yesterday but couldn't attend so I have resceduled the doctors appointment this afternoon to find out dates but i have had 3 positive HPT's now. I totally understand what you feel, i don't really "feel" pregnant at all, the only signs i have had are normal signs i would get if AF was coming. I still have a little bit of cramping which i am very worried about but fingers crossed all goes well.
If you are feeling unsure then do another HPT, there is no harm in doing that at all. I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy and your scan turns out very well for you. Good Luck
No symptoms here either with my first pregnancy! The only reason I knew was the positive blood test & AF being missing of course! I remained that way until I start to grow my belly at around 8-9 weeks! I only had 2-3 days with morning sickness in the entire pregnancy & that was it. Maybe you're just one of the lucky ones
My first pg I was sick the whole way thru, dizzy as well all the way. The rest only headaches/migraines really, BB were never really that sore, they did grow tho. Did burp and hiccup alot as well with all of them. Only sometimes would I feel alittle nauseas. Thru up only at the very beginning due to migraines, even then luckily to thro up once.
I found out last week that I am pregnant and to tell you the truth, I just had this feeling within me that I was (even before I did the test).
I had really sore boobs when I ovulated this cycle for some reason (doesn't happen every time I get my period but did this time), but then when my boobs were still sore and heavy by 1 wk past ovulation, I was suspicious (as that usually goes away as soon as I stop ovulating). I was due for my period on a Saturday, and I did a HPT on the Friday (as I couldn't wait any longer!) and I got a negative result. Saturday & Sunday went by & still no period, so by Monday, I was like "right, I am testing again". I did the test Monday lunch time & got 2 lines!!!! Positive. It's amazing how just 2 days can make all the difference when testing with a HPT.
After I got my BFP, all the other unusal things that had been happening to me came to light...... I had a weird metallic taste in my mouth about a week before AF was due. I also had twitches happening in my legs (like little nerves that just would not stop going crazy!) on the Friday which was the day before my AF was due. I had pains similar to period pain for about a week before AF was due as well... but it was more an uncomfortable feeling in my uterus, like a really heavy, tight feeling - just felt like something was in there! My Dr said that's symptoms of implantation - I never got the bleed that usually goes with that though.
So yeah, as I said before, I felt I just knew I was pregnant...... but once I got my BFP, I was like, well that explains this and that etc etc.....
Good luck with your scan... I'm having one at 7 wks - just to make sure everythings forming as it should be and hopefully see a little heartbeat! I'll then have a Nuchal Translucency Scan at 12 wks to assess my risk of Downs Syndrome.
Hey Jodie,
Congrats on your pregnancy! You know, now that you say it there was a few days that I got a horrible taste in my mouth the second I ate anything - but then that passed and hasn't been back since. wish I could remember when that was.....guess it wouldnt tell me anything though.
If my doctor is right then we're probably due around the same time. I won't find out for another 3 weeks though as when I tried to get an appointment for the scan to confirm the dates the soonest I could get was 18 September. I am really anxious to find out how far along I am because when I had my negative test I continued on as normal - and had at least one big night out, and several casual glasses of wine. The doctor said not to worry about it that it shouldn't matter so early - but i'm not so sure - I'm going to change doctor cos the one i saw was just too casual about everything - she even told me I could continue having a glass of wine now and again if I want. There's no way though - I'm already worried I could have caused damage - no alcohol is passing these lips till little bub arrives!
Hi Kitz,
Your Dr sounds like my Dr, only Im really happy with mine!
She told me that I could have the occasional glass of wine and stuff too (however, I don't drink so its not an issue!).
Whereabouts in this wide brown land are you living (your Dr seriously sounds like mine, just thought I'd ask!)
I think I may be pregnant - but am not getting my hopes up too much. I am 4 days late on my AF today and my BB's are heavy, sore and with blue veins all over them. I had my first appointment with the FS yesterday as DF and I have been TTC for 18 months. He has advised me to wait until Friday and if still no AF to have a blood test. I have been HPT-ing for the last 4 days and all negative.
Don't really know what to think. I know that AF can be late, but mine has never been this late and that last time I missed a period was when I was PG with my son. With him I got a BFP 11 days past ovulation and had frequent urination, exhaustion and blue veins all over BB's - so there was no question I was PG.
Now I just want to find out either way? The waiting is excrutiating. Has anyone been pregnant but it not show on HPT's and if so, how long did it take to show up - and what reason were you given for the late show BFP?
Hey babywrangler, I'm in Perth so not the same doc! Mine is just a bit too casual about everything - she didnt even tell me about what i should / shouldnt be eating, doing etc. She gave me no info at all!
Anyway just did another HPT and its definitely positive cos the blue line came up in the window by the time I had finished peeing!!
No Symptoms!?!
