Hi all,

I did a hpt and it was positive but doctors was negative.
I don't have any other symptoms either no sickness or sore boobs. So now I'm worrying that it could be wrong cos I have no symptoms. Has anyone else not had any symptoms this early on?
Just I heard that symptoms were a sign of a healthy pregnancy so now I'm really nervous x

Am 23+2 and have been pretty much symptom free, in particular for the first 12 weeks. So try to enjoy the symptom free time whilst you can and relax Smile

I had no symptoms with my 3 pregnancies - certainly no sickness/going off food etc.
I only ever really believed it when I got to see the scan.

Do you experience other hormone-led symptoms when not pregnant? I was never 'pre-menstrual' and have just had a relatively easy menopause. I think some people do just experience hormone related symptoms more than others

I sometimes suffer from stomach cramps but never anything serious. Always go away with a paracetamol.
I have had 2 miscarriages in the past and had no symptoms with them either one I didn't know I was pregnant til it was gone. So I think that's making me worry as well that this is the same as those pregnancies were. I dunno I just don't feel happy that its official right now if that makes any sense x

It's totally normal, I didn't get any symptoms until about 9 weeks. I can completely understand your worry, I had a lot of early miscarriages too and the first few weeks of a pregnancy are an absolute nightmare over-analysing yourself for any little signs. Try and relax and enjoy the symptom-free part while it lasts. I have my fingers crossed for you.
