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 😆

@Lillybobs86 Wow greats minds alike, we literally wrote our message at the same time! 😆
I am glad you feel a bit better. A bit of tenderness is good enough!!
I am sure all will be fine 😊

Morning everyone,
I'm feeling better breast soreness wise!!!
However I'm the night I had this intense cramp that woke me up felt like I needed a wee then just lasted about 20 mins.
It was like those period like cramps that I know are normal but really took my breathe away... Anyone had these so intense?
I'm feeling fine now and not had bleeding or anything 🙏🏽

@Lillybobs86 Glad to hear that symptoms are back 😉As for the cramps, I remember having that a few weeks ago, that was quite intense but lasted a couple of minutes. If you've had no blood, I would not worry about it.

@Lillybobs86 i had those about a week ago because it woke me up a few times and really scared me. I did a bit of research and apparently it’s completely normal and you get pain as your muscles relax more when you’re sleeping!

Yes I had this a couple of weeks back. Like you said takes your breath away. It woke me too. I kind of put it down to trapped wind? But could have been anything. You feeling okay otherwise?
I'm really struggling with trying not to eat too much. I'm having to eat so regularly because the nausea creeps in. By the end of the day mu stomach is so swollen and bloated! I know its okay going to get worse but at this stage I really don't like how I'm looking lol. And also feels so uncomfortable xx

@TTCbaby2023 Yea that's what I read as long as not accompanied with blood🙏🏽
Hope your feeling better and your symptoms got stronger too?
@Firsttimebfp1 Ah thank you glad I'm not the only one as that's what happened it was so intense woke me up at 4am!!
Thank you that makes me feel so much better after hearing your research.
@ChaE05 Yea at first I did think wind as I have had a lot while pregnant 🙈
I'm the same I've put on so much weight already as before I ate really healthy meat and veg and not much carbs ... now it's only carbs I am eating as it's the only thing that makes me feel less nauseous and like you I am eating 10 times a day otherwise if I have a gap I start to feel yucky again 🤢
Oh well we will be overweight but it will all be worth it 🙏🏽❤️

I know I’m about a week behind most of you now since I got measured at my scan last week (think I’m about week 7 now but hoping to know more at my midwife appointment next week!), but I seriously can’t stop eating either or the nausea is awful! I’m not being actually sick but feeling nauseous from about 10am to 8pm and the only thing that stops it is carbs 😂🙈 was so proud of how much weight I was loosing before this as well!

@Lillybobs86 Symptoms aren't getting stronger at all so thank God the scan is only a couple of days away.. Symptoms have been very mild indeed. Let's hope everything is ok..

How is everyone feeling today? I have my scan tomorrow and for some reason I am not feeling very confident. Since Thursday breast soreness (my main symptom) has been very mild to non existent, I mainly feel it upon waking up but not severe and then it's gone. Tomorrow can't come quickly enough 😔

@TTCbaby2023 I am feeling the same as you tbh just worried all the time even though I have slight symptoms I still just worry 🤦🏽‍♀️
I think you will be absolutely fine when I think rationally about it I think it's just we don't feel as bad as I few weeks ago as we just got used to the symptoms x

Thinking of you tomorrow at your scan, sure everything will be great.. let us know how you get on xx 😘

@Lillybobs86 Thank you for the encouragement! 🥰 When I look at previous threads, it seems a lot of women experience fading symptoms between 7 and 9 weeks but you also have examples of those who had a good scan at around 6 weeks and then went on to have an mmc and fading symptoms. Of course my mind will focus on these examples 🤦‍♀️ I know I shouldn't read horror stories but can't help it... Today has been the longest day and my man doesn't understand why I feel so anxious.

@ChaE05 Thank you for your wishes!
I will update you all afterwards hoping it will be with good news!! 😘

@TTCbaby2023 yes exactly try to focus on those threads that it's quite common for fluctuating symptoms ❤️
My DP also doesn't get anxiety and doesn't get it so totally understand you there x
What times your scan?
You'll be absolutely fine ❤️ x

@Lillybobs86 my scan is at 2.45pm. I woke up at 7am this morning and feel sick with anxiety. Symptoms not helping as barely there, no improvement at all.

@TTCbaby2023 Good luck and let us know how you get on ❤️

Hope everything went well today @TTCbaby2023

@Lillybobs86 @Purpleflowers21 I could feel in the last few days that something wasn't right and weirdly enough it is as if my brain knew already. The sonographer couldn't detect a heartbeat and the embryo stopped growing at 8+1 which explains the fading of symptoms this week. We are heartbroken and I have never felt so much pain. We tried for so long and at my age this might have been our last chance.. I just don't know how I will manage to deal with it, I'm totally lost 😢

@TTCbaby2023 im so sorry your going through this. We’re here if you need a
chat or vent. Sending lots of love

I’m so sorry to hear that @TTCbaby2023 i’m absolutely gutted for you.

@TTCbaby2023 Oh my goodness I am im shock I really didn't think I would be reading this - I am so sorry to hear this 💔 😢
Like @Purpleflowers21 said we here for you if you need to vent or chat ❤️
I am so sorry 😢 xxxx

@Firsttimebfp1 @Lillybobs86 @Purpleflowers21 I haven't stopped crying, although I was well aware of the statistics I was hopeful as the heart was flickering like mad just 2 weeks ago.. now I don't whether to feel hopeful that we could still conceive again. Are we crazy to believe in it? Right now I don't know how to deal with the psychological pain..

@TTCbaby2023
Im so incredibly sad to read your update. I really wish there was something I could say that could be of any comfort. Just be assured that you aren’t alone, and we are here if you need someone to talk to ❤️

@GlitterDragon thank you for your words. I don't even know what could help me to be honest, I've never ever felt like that in my life. I also just realised that the day I lost it is the day I woke having dreamt I lost it. Clearly that nightmare was trying to tell me something.

@TTCbaby2023 Please don't give up hope.
I went through loss last year which was extremely traumatic when I had an ectopic.
The loss was horrendous and broke me I never thought I would conceive successfully again but we did.
I know it's painful but I had to keep reminding myself that sometimes it doesn't work out because of chromosomal abnormalities or that they would have been unable to survive from day one so it's not because of anything you've done or did.
Give yourself some time to heal and if you feel ready try again ❤️
I hope they were supportive yesterday, did they refer you to the EPU now?
Next time you'll be monitored closely by EPU xx

I'm so sad to be reading this, I'm really so so sorry its turned out this way for you. I can't imagine how you are feeling. Sending you lots of love and strength and I know you will get your rainbow baby 🌈👶 xx
