Symptoms gone/fading

[Bitsandbobsalot]

I’m sure this has been done to death and I know worry won’t change the outcome but thoughts and experiences would be great as I’m I’m trying to stay positive but realistic.

I’m 8+2 with my surprise baby. Secondary infertility diagnosed 2015 . Ttc 6 years, 9 rds clomid the third worked but ended in mc at 5+6.
I’m 34 with 3 dc (18,16,13) I’ve also had 5 mc’s between my eldest any youngest. I’ve never mc after 7 weeks before

I’ve had two scans one at EPU (due to previous mc/suspected etopic) at 6 weeks and baby was perfect with heartbeat. Second was at 7+2 that was private and again baby was perfect with a good strong heartbeat. I was over the moon.

I’ve hit 8 weeks and my few symptoms seem to be disappearing my breasts were tender but they seem back to normal I’m also not as tired. I do still become bloated in the evenings and my mouth tastes like crap and I’m thirsty. I’ve had no spotting, bleeding or cramping at all (good sign?)

Obviously I know symptoms can be misleading and if I’m going to mc there’s nothing I can do but to wake up and my breast no longer tender has worried me. For the life of me I can’t remember if I had this with my successful pregnancies as they were so long ago. I’ve got my booking in appointment in 2 weeks so I’m trying to get to then as I don’t want to waste EPU’s time because my breasts don’t hurt although they did say they would see me again if I had a problem but I’m not even sure this is classed as a problem?

Thanks

From everything I've read this can be pretty normal. But if you've seen the epu once and you're worried just self refer. There will probably be a bit of a wait till a scan and then in the meantime (hopefully or not depending on severity) your symptoms will return.

I queried this in first pregnancy and midwife said sometimes your body is just busy doing different things so symptoms change. I know it's worrying though.

Thank you. From what I’ve had a read of today it can be normal. I’ve not had any cramping or bleeding so I’ve decided to just try and relax for the time being. I know EPU are over stretched so I don’t want to go wasting time/appointments when technically I’ve no real reason to be worried. I’ve never had a mmc (touch wood) it’s always being spotting with symptoms for 10 days with pain/cramps or completely spontaneous with very heavy bleeding. So I’m putting my logical head on now and hoping for the best.

I hate early pregnancy it’s all so uncertain and completely out of our hands. I have read that once a heartbeat has been seen mc risk lowers which is a comfort as my scans were perfect. I’d be much happier if my breasts were sore tho 😂

I've had multiple MC's so understand your worry, I've had terrible symptoms in both pregnancies where as this time (currently 28+5) I had symptoms for a whole 2 weeks, they'd disappeared by 8 weeks and I never had tiredness etc the way I had with others

Thanks for sharing, reading that has made me feel better. I was so young with my first I didn’t have a care or worry in the world but once you’ve had a mc it’s hangs over your head. I don’t think I’ll fully relax till the 20 week scan or I can feel movement.
If I do have any real concerns I’ll be on to EPU.

My symptoms stopped both times around 8 weeks then came back a few weeks later! It's so hard not to worry but you just have to tell yourself there's much more chance of everything being ok than not. Good luck with all, hope it all goes well

Hi OP, if it helps, I've had the same disappearing symptoms this week (exploding boobs again soft and normal,and a 1.5 day lull in nausea). I only have a doctors appointment for ten days' time, am in week 7 right now. I spoke to my doctor and explained this lull, but she wasn't at all worried and seemed to to have found it normal. The nausea is back now though, could have spared myself the worry haven't had any scans yet though and hope that everything is ok.

Thank you all for replying I feel much better for reading them. I also think you guys are right in saying it’s normal and in most circumstances everything is fine. I’ve also read ( not a expert and could be wrong) that even with a mmc you can still have strong pregnancy symptoms. So at this stage there’s no point me getting stressed.
I’ve no bleeding or cramping so I’m telling myself everything is fine and not to worry till I have something to worry about

I had very sore breasts when period was due then a few weeks, it did fade by 8 weeks and I did start to get some energy back too.

Just a little update (as I personally hate when threads aren’t updated and in the past when reading these I always wondered how things turn out)
I couldn’t wait till midwife appointment or the 12 week scan so I’ve been for a private scan this morning and my lil bubs is perfect, beautiful heartbeat, placenta taken over now. So you ladies were spot on and symptoms coming and going and fading doesn’t mean anything is necessary wrong.
I think it’s just hit me today that I’m actually having a baby 😆

That's so amazing. Really pleased for you
