Anyone else 5 to 6 weeks pregnant?

[TTCbaby2023]

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 😆

Thanks @TTCbaby2023 . On your advice, I've left a message with my GP...

It's just really difficult to know what's 'normal' and what's not, with this being my first.

@ChaE05 @Lillybobs86 thank for your messages! 😊 I appreciate your support especially as you understand exactly what it's like. Anxiety is the worst, and I've never managed to keep it under control. A bit of breast soreness reappeared this afternoon providing a bit of reassurance. I will see how I feel tomorrow about the scan and will go out for a walk in the sun to try and calm my nerves..

Anxiety is horrendous isn't it. What we have to remember is our mind will literally convince ourselves of anything. And not to take that away from us because what is happening is so real. But the mind is powerful. So powerful its actually scary lol. And in turn the physical symotoms are real. I will obsess and obsess over things and literally convince myself it's the worst case scenario. Try and do all the things you can to relax, hope you went for a nice walk. I did too 😊 your baby deserves you to feel positive and strong for them. I know the wait for the scan is torture but I feel confident you'll have some reassurance once you've seen little bubba x

@Puccini1900 Excellent! I hope you get to sort it out quickly! Everything is new and yes it can be a bit difficult sometimes! How are you getting on with your pregnancy?

@ChaE05 my mind really is my worst ennemy and has always been. Pregnancy is a roller coaster of emotions! I went for a nice walk and that did me a lot of good and was happy to feel more breast soreness (which is my main symptom together w weird taste in mouth on and off). Roll on Sunday!
Thank you again for the nice words 😊

Hi Op, can see you are up late too. I’m another one riddled with anxiety, and pregnancy has just exacerbated all of this. Lying awake worrying about so many things to do with the pregnancy in terms of miscarrying, or how I will cope with being a mum and what I will need to prepare before they arrive. So much to do and so little energy right now to make it happen.
I found this quite reassuring to look at when I’m worried about losing the baby, see if this helps. Sending love ❤️

@TTCbaby2023 I'm fine, except my ever expanding and sore boobs. They're making me feel like such a round blob, and I'm amazed that everyone I meet can't instantly tell I'm pregnant 😅

My anxiety has been okay though. Hugs to those who have been affected by it @ChaE05 @GlitterDragon - it is the literal worst.

Oddly, I haven't been sick at all... Which makes me feel like I've missed out on a right of passage 😅

@TTCbaby2023 How are you feeling this morning? Hope you had a better nights sleep.

I’ve woke up with a sore throat and a cold this morning but finding it a nightmare finding something I can take for it

Hope you’re all doing ok today. Anxiety is the worst, I nearly had a panic attack before my scan last week it was awful.

@Purpleflowers21 i woke up the same this morning as well! Let me know if you do find anything we can take!

@Puccini1900 agree on the boob front. Mine are ridiculous! Can hardly fit them into most of my tops already!

@GlitterDragon I struggle to go to bed early generally even when I'm tired. Probably an anxiety side effect! Just endless worry isn't it? I know that worrying won't change the course of anything and yet I can't help it.. Thank you for the link, it is helpful and will look at it everyday 😀 so impatient to have the scan on Sunday 🤞
I love our little group, this has helped me so much! 😊

@Puccini1900 I've not been sick once either just very light nausea on occasion. Not having many symptoms, although totally normal is always a bit nerve wracking.
Have you heard from your GP?

@Purpleflowers21 I'm feeling a bit better especially as the breast soreness is back, not intense but it is there. I will feel a lot better if all goes well on Sunday 😊
As for your cold and your sore throat I would recommend fresh ginger tea with honey. It might not be as strong as a throat spray but it will help. Or even just raw, that will soothe your throat even more. From what I read raw ginger on its own or in tea is ok during pregancy up to 1g.

@Firsttimebfp1 I can't guarantee I won't have a panic attack before my scan as well... it really is horrible. Can't wait for the 1st trimester to be over to hopefully be able to enjoy it a bit more..

I have woken up this morning all breast soreness has gone not tender at all 😭😭😭
I'm freaking out and so worried as had a very stressful day at work yesterday and now all symptoms gone?

@Lillybobs86 that happened to me over the weekend. Convinced myself I was about to miscarry. Went from really swollen and sore boobs, to them looking deflated and not tender at all. A few days later I felt like someone had punched me hard in the boobs and they looked like they’d doubled in size! I’m currently 5 + 4 and these symptoms are coming and going. So anxiety inducing :(

@Lillybobs86 it's exactly what happened on Tuesday and I was freaking out like mad (especially after dreaming I had lost it) but later in the day the soreness came back, not strong but enough to show that hormones are still there. I went to bed last night with no soreness and woke up with no soreness. It's only that it is coming back slightly. I am sure it will also come back for you. Do you have any other symptoms?

@Chunkychips23 the anxiety is relentless because of all these fluctuations 😔

Thank you @Chunkychips23 x

@TTCbaby2023 I don't really notice my other symptoms but haven't had bad sickness just slight nausea and strange taste the whole time anyway.
Anxiety is so bad with hormones your right.
I am 8 weeks 1 day today - and I did read this can happen around this time on other threads.
Read bad stories too 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
But hope all fine and normal.
Hope i start to feel more pregnant again later 😭😭

@Lillybobs86 the fact that you still have that weird taste in your mouth means you haven't lost all your symptoms and the soreness will more than likely come back today or tomorrow. I was focusing on the fact that I still had the weird taste in the mouth as well. I know exactly how you feel and how we focus on those stories ending badly having felt like that on Tuesday but you'll more than likely be ok. I was 8+1 that day as well!

@Lillybobs86 oh and I missed the fact that you still have nausea so it will ok.
I have never felt very pregnant since the start as I have so few symptoms and even those aren't particularly intense. I think I will only feel pregnant once the bump is showing and I can feel baby moving. My mum had 5 kids and never felt very pregnant in the first trimester for any of them.

@TTCbaby2023 sorry I meant I haven't had much nausea throughout just a tiny bit here and there.
So weird you was 8 + 1 as well that day!
So glad we got this group ❤️
Fingers crossed thank you for your reassurance ❤️
How is your symptoms today and how are you feeling x

@Lillybobs86 yes this group is ace ❤️ so many nice supportive women!
I know right? Exactly 8+1 and I was going through the same thing! Since then soreness has been up and down. It fluctuates so much in the course of a day! It's never been extremely sore since the beginning and I don't think my breast got any bigger just sore to the touch. I've never prodded my breast so much since I found out I was pregnant 😆. I'm just hanging on to the fact that there's still some soreness and the weird taste in the mouth is also still there on and off. Only a few days to my scan so I am trying hard to think positively!!

Yea I've been prodding all day !!!!
They are only just a tiny bit tender now the day has gone on .. and I have those cramps that I've had on and off since 4 weeks that feel like your Period is on its way but it's not lol
Had those couple times today.
Hopefully all is fine 🙏🏽❤️

@Lillybobs86 How are you getting on? Are you feeling a bit better?

@TTCbaby2023 We must have sent that at same time!!! X
