Hi everyone. I am currently 5.6 weeks pregnant and I would be curious to know what your symptoms are (were) during the same period. So far I've had a metallic taste in my mouth since 12dpo which is now very much fading away and breast soreness that fluctuates so much within the course of the day driving me insane. I am also a little tired but nothing excessive. I would welcome more symptoms as it would feel a bit more reassuring. What is (was) your experience?
I have an early scan in exactly a week and the wait has been excruciating 😆

I spoke to a midwife who said it was perfectly normal for symptoms to fluctuate a lot. As long as you still have some even mild and not bleeding, then things are most probably ok. No 2 pregnancies are the same. I have booked another scan in 2 weeks as I will be nearly 9 weeks and will defo need more reassurance by then 😆
I hope all goes well for your scan on Thursday, let us know how it went!!

Oh that's good to know 🙏🏽
Yea really been milder last few days.
Your like me I'm booking them 2-3 weeks now I had so many scan I am getting used to it need it for reassurance!!
My scan was rescheduled for tomorrow morning now so not much longer to wait phew x

Hi Ladies! I’m 7 weeks today, and it’s very reassuring to hear the symptoms fluctuate so much. I’m googling a lot, and there’s a lot of conflicting information out there. I’m hoping to get a scan in the next week or so, but not sure when. Still can’t quite believe I’m pregnant. And can’t understand how something as small as a blueberry can have this huge effect on my body and brain already.

Glad everyone’s scans have gone well! Do you feel a bit more reassured now?

TTCbaby2023 · 17/04/2023 23:45

@Lillybobs86 let us know how the scan goes tomorrow 😊 Symptoms are still mild with bouts of quite painful breasts.

@GlitterDragon tell me about the conflicting info online! I've learnt more through forum than actual website!
Yes it's tiny and yet changing our lives already! Do you know, I felt reassured yesterday and worried again today as I did the scan quite early (6+6w) and because I keep reading that miscarriage is so likely after 40.. the second scan can't come quickly enough when I will be 8+6w!

@@TTCbaby2023 Thank you I'm so nervous!!
I am also in "geriatric"category 🙄
I'm 37 in 2 months and the things I read online are so scary apparently after 35 😩🤦🏽‍♀️
Don't worry though as we have come so far already risks go down each day our little blueberries are all going to be super healthy and fine 🍀❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽

TTCbaby2023 · 18/04/2023 08:27

@Lillybobs86 I know I was so nervous before mine too but I'm sure it'll all be fine! We can support each other between "geriatric" mothers 😄

@TTCbaby2023 Haaa yes we can lol is this your second as well?
My daughters a lot older.
I am just waiting to go in now 😬🙏🏽

TTCbaby2023 · 18/04/2023 10:47

@Lillybobs86 this is my first and a bit of a miracle at that as I was told it would be very unlikely we would manage to conceive naturally. Good luck!!! 🤞🍀

This is my second and I was going to just wait until my 12 week scan but now I’m considering an early private one!

With my first I had strong cramping so I had a scan at the EPU at 6 weeks and saw the heartbeat. I’m now 7 weeks and another 5 weeks just for confirmation that everything is ok feels crazy.

ChaE05 · 18/04/2023 13:01

@Lillybobs86 how did you get on.. hope everything went really well 😌❤️

Everything all normal and developing like it should 🙏🏽
Thank you for checking I was soo nervous! X

ChaE05 · 18/04/2023 13:08

@Lillybobs86 oh wow I am soooo pleased for you. You must be feeling amazing. How far are you? I have mine friday so can completely understand the nerves. The best news for you 🥰

Thank you, I am 7 weeks tomorrow.
Are you having yours privately x

ChaE05 · 18/04/2023 13:24

Oh lovely I'm 7 weeks today I believe. Yes, I'm going privately. Was this the same for you? Will you have any more before your 12 weeks? X

Lillybobs86 · 18/04/2023 13:37

How exciting good luck for yours ❤️
No mine was with the EPU as they wanted to see me again as I had an Ectopic last year :(
I also had tiny bit of spotting as well a few weeks ago so they booked for this week.
I did have a private scan booked for next week but I will probably move it to the week after.
Yes!!!!! I think I'll be spending a lot of money on scans 🙈 I just need the reassurance x

TTCbaby2023 · 18/04/2023 14:39

@Lillybobs86 so glad it went well! We all seem to be 7 weeks! I'm 7+1 today. How are your symptoms at the moment? Mine are annoyingly mild today and of course it's worrying me...

@TTCbaby2023 thank you I'm so pleased ❤️
So nice we all around 7 weeks :)))
My nausea comes and goes I feel a bit sickly here and there I can't cook as make me feel sick but not been sick or been that bad.
My boobs are same as last week mild - but still tender.

I have to ask .. Has anyone had sex yet? 🙈🙈🤦🏽‍♀️😂
I had to ask as Im super scared !!
And not sure if we can not do anything next 30 something weeks lol I'm just worried x

ChaE05 · 18/04/2023 15:03

Oh I see...I'm so sorry to hear about your ectopic. Your anxiety must be double what I'm going through. But you've had some really great reassuring news today and atleast you know little one is in the right place 🥰 will let you know how I get on xx

ChaE05 · 18/04/2023 15:06

Oh in response to the sex question! I felt soooo weirded out about it and couldn't fully relax. After we did it the first time we found out we were pregnant I had a bit of pink discharge the next day which freaked me out. But read up it was normal. Had a little break but back to it, but no way as frequent. Purely becuase I'm so tired come bed time and my partner bless him, is being very sensitive to how I feel about it so not putting it on me as much 😂

ChaE05 · 18/04/2023 15:09

@TTCbaby2023 mine symptoms aren't that crazy either. But I really don't think it is anything to worry about. Everyone really is very different. I do have to have something small to eat first thing now. I never had breakfast before but I feel quite sicky without it x

TTCbaby2023 · 18/04/2023 15:49

@Lillybobs86 I can't help you regarding having sex as to be honest we haven't done it since. I am too scared it might do something bad 😂

Im 6 + 3 and we’ve had sex a few times since finding out, I was a bit nervous at first but it’s been fine. Since we found out my partner has been after it more than ever 😂

TTCbaby2023 · 18/04/2023 15:52

@ChaE05 Yes symptoms fluctuate and the intensity isn't necessarily a sign of anything but I can't help freaking out every time my breast isn't sore anymore (as this is really my main symptom) and today has been the worst, meaning I don't feel anything. You read so many horror stories online and I tend to focus on those rather the ones ending with a happy end. Sunday 30th can't come quickly enough.. if that scan is good then I will feel a lot better..

OP posts:
Lillybobs86 · 18/04/2023 16:44

Yea I am just too scared 🙈
He's really good about it but I did promise after the scan we would tomorrow lol
I think I'll back out though as I am just too scared 🙈

@TTCbaby2023 your just like me I'm looking at 2 weeks from now! I might have to start going to a different place though after that they might just think I'm mad!
I guess it's normal for us to be worried x
