I'm kinda nervous...

The last day or so, I haven't been as nauseous (I don't know if originally it was just in my mind) and the AF type cramps have been getting less...they are constant...but mostly in the evenings?? Same with the nauseousness...My bbs are still KILLING me...and I took a HPT yesterday, and it was as dark as dark can be. Am I just being paranoid...or do you think I have something to worry about. The only reason I was concerned, is KDD said when she had her MC that her EPS seemed to go away first before she lost the baby.

Are you having bw done? If you are worried, maybe you can call your dr and have bw done.

I think the symptoms come and go. But, call your doctor. My doctor's nurse is really good at reassuring me. Although I wonder if I am starting to bug her too much!

[stlgirl]

symptoms definitely come and go. my cramping diminished as I got close to 5 weeks (just like you), and I really never had a lot of nausea until closer to 7 weeks, so I think as long as you're getting dark BFPs, you're fine.

Ok...I will try not to stress about it. I'm not spotting or anything either, so that's a good sign as well...I am trying to relax and just enjoy the time, people tell me it goes by so fast...but right now...with still 246 days to go...I can't see it going fast.

They aren't big on doing blood work here in Canada, unless you are pretty sure there is something wrong, so I don't think that my dr. would do any. If I am still concerned I will have my OBGYN do some sort of blood work or something on the 29th.

I think my big symptom in the first few weeks or months was my BB's being soooo sore! I say as long as you aren't bleeding AND cramping then you should be good and the fact that you are still getting dark lines on the HPT you should be good. I know how hard it is to over analyze every little symptom, but hang in there...you will be super uncomfortable like the rest of us soon enough!!!

My symptoms come and go...I think it's quite normal! I'm doing like you and trying to relax (sometimes easier said than done!)

Hey Oreo --you mentioned you had 246 days to go.... I noticed my ticker must be competely wrong! We are about the same distance along in our pregnancies - and my ticker shows 190 days to go! I'll need to check in to that!!!!

I had AF type cramps in early pregnancy too - I didn't take my HPT until 5 weeks, 1 day and I seriously thought AF was on her way because of the cramps I was having. I continued having them a couple of weeks after that but they definitely weren't constant and they would vary in intensity.

My BBs were super sore too - I stopped wearing a regular bra, and instead wore a sports bra for weeks! I felt better with the tight sports bra.

Try not to stress!

Symptoms definatley come and go. I would freak every day that I "wasn't as nauseous" as the day before. Actually the day of my first u/s at 6w I woke up and had some spotting and wasn't nauseous at all and I was sure it was over but we saw a perfect HB that day. I know it is scary but it is normal!!

[Skimboardin Mama]

Hopefully I get to go to the doctors this morning for my first beta... I'm only 4 weeks and 1 day but my BBs aren't "THAT" sore.. lefty hurts more than righty and my heart has been beating a mile a minute.. no spotting either and I'm sooooooo incredibly thankful for that!!!!! only time will tell!

[FyreMommy2B]

I didn't have many symptoms at all early on other than sore BB's. No nausea ever but I did get strong smell and food aversions around 6weeks that could send me gagging and dry heaving which wasn't pleasant. My cramps subsided around 5-6weeks but they weren't consistent...just here and there. I'm sure you are fine but definitely talk to your doctor about any concerns..they are here to put you at ease.

I was so nervous everyday because I wasn't having any symptoms at all (except of course the cramping which isn't always reassuring!). I finally started to relax when I was about 7 weeks along since I saw the heartbeat. Just try to take care of yourself and feel lucky that you don't have many symptoms yet

[Sam914]

I'm having hardly any symptoms! Thats why i took so long to test! besides the bbs being a tiny bit sore and some bloating i feel totally normal

[..Christine..]

my symptoms came and went day by day at first- I remember one day I'd have them and the next day nothing- it would freak me out a bit but then they'd come back...try not to worry to much!!

[KDD]

I know it's hard, but try to relax. Sore bbs is a great sign!

It sucks not getting b/w or an u/s until later!
