No symptoms 5w - previous loss

Hi all

I'm finding this pregnancy so hard that I'm almost resigning myself to the fact I'm going to miscarry again, if I haven't already. I miscarried at 4w5days in May this year. First pregnancy, very much wanted. Im pregnant again and on progesterone but don't feel pregnant whatsoever. I've also read that progesterone can hide a miscarriage. I had some period type pains on Friday and Saturday last week and since then I've convinced myself that must've been my body trying to miscarry.

It's totally messing with me and I can't get myself out of this headspace. I so desperately want a baby but I feel like it's never going to happen. I don't think I can go through another loss.

Any advice or experience so welcomed ❤️ is it normal not to have ANY pregnancy symptoms at 5 weeks? No sore boobs, no real tiredness etc

@Laro23 You have all of my sympathy, when you have been through a loss you just question everything. I had 2 mc and then a successful pregnancy with progesterone and aspirin, I had no symptoms and had some nausea from 6-9 weeks then that was it.

I am now pregnant again and only 5 weeks and am worried sick! Absolutely no symptoms whatsoever and I done a frer this morning (stupid I know) but it was a slight bit fainter than last weeks albeit still dark!

I do think it's normal to not have symptoms really early on. Can you get an early scan?

Thank you so much. I'm so sorry you've also been through this. It's just horrible. I feel totally robbed of the joy of pregnancy. Perhaps we could support each other as it sounds as though we are at similar stages?

Are you on progesterone again this time? As it's my first I have no idea what to do / expect! I was worried about going for a scan too early. What do you think is the best time in your experience?

Of course @Laro23 yes I am on it again this time! From previous experience I found from 7 weeks onwards is best as you are almost sure of seeing a heartbeat.

Had no symptoms until week 6. Then 🤮🤮🤮🤮.
I know it's hard, I've also lost. We can only hope xx

Thank you both. It's the hardest thing ever and I didn't expect it to be. Each day feels like 19 years! Bizarrely wishing for sickness (or anything!!) just to feel like something is happening. Hope you are doing ok ❤️

How are you feeling @Laro23

Laro23 · 08/09/2022 17:23

@Fawn68 so lovely of you to check in. Still rattled with fear and anxiety! How about you?

@Laro23 aw you poor thing 😞 I'm worried also, but have been feeling quite sick and bloated the past 2 days!

It is bloody tough isn't it. I am literally just pregnant, probably about 4 weeks. Lost previous pregnancy in nov 2020 at 11 weeks and only just managed to conceive again quite unexpectedly (long fertility problems, under the care of fertility services but was actually in a break after treatment failed!).

I am SO anxious. Like I feel wound up like a screw. So much focus on every tiny sensation and simultaneously worried 1) crampy sensations mean bad news and 2) I have no symptoms and that means bad news ... Both can't be true!

Trying to tell myself 1) I am pregnant today and 2) whether I feel hopeful or doomy, will have NO impact on whether or not this works out. So it's okay to feel hopeful and okay to feel not hopeful, neither is going to ruin this
