No symptoms at 5 and a half/6 and a half weeks? Is this normal? Very anxious!

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a little bit of reassurance if someone can help. I found out I was pregnant last Thursday but haven't had many symptoms since. I have felt more tired/lacked any energy (especially when it gets to about 5pm and then I can't move off the sofa and fall asleep at about 9:30) but I have also given up caffeine since I found out so not sure if that's partly why, I am weeing more often, have sore boobs (but not as bad as they were a week before I found out), the odd tinge at the bottom of my stomach (more on the right side) and some bloating after I eat and bubbling in my stomach. I sneezed yesterday and felt a fullness/sharp tinge on my right hand side for about 4 seconds, and when I googled this it said it could be round ligament which is normal. So I guess I have some symptoms, but no sickness other than the odd time I eat I may feel a bit bleurgh. I feel like we're taught that everyone feels sick in early pregnancy and now the fact I don't I am fearful something is wrong.

I'm trying to remain positive as my clearblue was 2-3 weeks on Thursday and since yesterday has been 3+ weeks so looks like my HCG is rising, but I am just worried I don't really have any strong symptoms and I was wondering if this is more common than we think? It's my first pregnancy and I have so much anxiety as all I see is about miscarriage, no heartbeat or a blighted ovum and focusing on every little thing! My doctor told me she had no sickness in either pregnancy and not really any symptoms, but don't know if she was just telling me that to help!

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm 5 weeks and have no real symptoms apart from my bra feels a bit tight and has left marks so I can't wear one at the moment.
I'm also feeling really irritable and quite lazy today.

yes! I haven’t done the washing up or can’t move from the sofa when I’ve finished work cause I feel lazy/no energy so I think that’s a common one. The irritable could definitely be one, I have found myself crying at things on tv I usually wouldn’t lol
