worried, no symptoms.. sort of

[helle]

My experience.
My first pregnancy I felt crook 24/7. Like a constant hung over feeling, my boobs killed, the works.
My second pregnancy I didn't even feel pregnant, not until I started getting a belly!
My first preg didn't end well, my second is currently attached to my boob as I type this.
Please try not to dwell on what the books say you should feel, every person and every pregnancy is so different.

Congratulations!
Most fertility clinics will do an early scan at 6-7 weeks to confirm viability - yours doesn't do that? If you're really worried, why not request one to put your mind at ease.

I don't think I ever had sore boobs, and the nausea didn't set in till 7-8 weeks maybe (can't really remember). Every pregnancy is different, feeling a bit 'off' is a pretty good sign though

thanks everyone. yeh my scan at the fertility clinic should make me 7wks 6 days. But I'm confused because they seem to date me about 3 days further than my GP did, when I told her the date of my LMP.

My husband says stop worrying, what will be will be. I know I can't change anything, and worrying won't help or get me anywhere, I just can't bear the thought of losing this one as well.

the waiting game is hard. I am tempted to ask for a scan now, but I know finding a heartbeat today doesn't guarantee it will be there tomorrow.

oh incomplete I can understand your worrying esp when you've lost a baby in the past (sending hugs)

with my first 2 DD's (after IUI's) I was terribly sick vomitted everyday like clockwork and incredibly sore bb's too!

With this baby I have often woken up completely upset thinking I should be feeling the same but I've had very minor and intermittent ms (here some days not others and no vomitting) my bb's are not sore at all! I'm 18 weeks now.

I have some friends too who don't have barely any symptoms and everything is fine!

All the best!

THere's often a difference in EDDs based on LMP, transfer date/O date (depending on type of AC) or early scan. Don't worry about it.

I had blood tests to check that my HCG levels were still increasing- maybe you could ask for this if you couldn't get in for an ultrasound or didn't want to have one at this stage.

Incomplete It sounds like you're having a difficult time.

Requesting a scan sounds like a good idea, it would put your mind at ease certainly in the interim.

The first trimester can certainly be stressful, especially after previous miscarriages and LTTTC.

For what it's worth, my breast tenderness went away at around 9 weeks and never returned. And the nausea came and went too and all turned out well.
