4 + 3 - no symptoms, getting worried

[Eminado]

It's going to be a looooooooong wait for me until my scan. Sheesh.

I have no symptoms bar missed period and tiredness. But i have a toddler, i have been tired for 2 years!

Do u think all is ok? Last time I was feeling rough at this point. I am worried.

4+3 surely means your period is only 3 days late. I don't think most actual symptoms kick in till about 6 weeks for most people.

At your stage I hadn't even realised I was pregnant. I'd barely started what became a ridiculous amount of bloat.

I don't think you've got anything to worry about.

Although it's of course possible to have symptoms at this stage, i certainly wouldn't expect to have them for another week or so yet.

It's the hormone HCG that is responsible for early pregnancy symptoms. This hormone isn't created until implantation, which will have been around 3.5-4 weeks (ish). it starts in very small quantities and doubles only every 48-72hours so it can take a week or two for it to build high enough to create any noticeable symptoms.

Honestly you needn't worry. Congratulations by the way

I didn't have a single symptom until 6 weeks with either of mine (didn't know I was pregnant at 4 + 3 with either as I never tested until a week after my period was due!). How long ago did you take the test?

Hi thanks for kind replies!

Indomitable i am not sure why being only 3 days past expected period irks you? Surely you can test as son as you miss your period?

As i said above, at this time last pregnancy i was being sick so that is my most familiar point of reference. I also had sore boobs etc.

Anyway thank you all - i will try to relax. I got the positive test(s) on saturday and again today. Here's hoping.

Hi I didn't get any symptoms until about 8 weeks so I wouldn't worry too much :)

Sorry, didn't mean to be irky. 3 days after a missed period is just way too soon to expect symptoms for most people. I don't think it would be a worrying thing at all. A huge number of people wouldn't even know they were pregnant yet.

When I read the thread title I was expecting you to be 8 weeks+

However, I've heard there are women who not only don't have symptoms, at all, but also feel fabulous instead. Maybe this time you'll be one of those.

Congratulations

Mine all kicked in at around 7 weeks after me being smug about having no symptoms. With my first I wasn't sick until I was nearly 8 months gone so thought I got lucky this time around too

Maybe being hormonal and sensitive IS my symptom indomitable

Thank you all
