7 weeks pregnant and symptoms are fading...

Hi,

I'm 8 weeks pregnant as of today. This is my 4th pregnancy after 3 x MMC. I've had investigations done and no clear reason why I have recurring miscarriages. I am now on progesterone pessaries twice a day since 6 + 3.

Looking for a bit of advice/reassurance as I am climbing the walls with anxiety given my history...

Found out I was pregnant and had pretty mild symptoms, but symptoms all the same. Symtoms started to hit a bit harder at 6 weeks, but still not ultra strong. Main symtoms were mood swings (poor partner of mine!), stretching pains, veiny boobs, shooting pain in one nipple, full boobs, daily naps.

Over the last week I've noticed that my symtoms have faded or dissappeared entirely. My moods have been great, boobs aren't quite as full or veiny, no pain in boobs and have not had any naps since Friday and been going to sleep at my pre-pregnancy time. I also haven't felt any stretching pains for a few days now. I did have a bit of a headache last night and slightly veiny boobs, but thats it.

I know that symtoms can come and go, but from what I've read this seems to be for a couple of days or so as opposed to a week. So this has got me super worried.

Should add that I had a scan at 6 + 3 for going on progesterone and all was fine with the scan and saw a wee heartbeat

I contacted the specialist midwife I'm under for recurring miscarriages for advice, but she wasn't that concerned given I haven't been bleeding. But this still doesn't seem to be reassuring me...

Anyone here had a similar experience with a positive outcome..?

Thanks x

Given your history and that it's Monday morning can you got go to an EPU (early pregnancy unit) you could lie and say you've had bleeding

I'm waiting on them calling me back, but not sure how they're going to respond since the recurring miscarriage midwife didn't seem too fussed?

Plus, I wouldn't feel too comfortable saying I was bleeding when I wasn't. Feel like I'm jinxing the pregnancy! And I'm nervous enough lol!

I have been there with three miscarriages and now 29 weeks. I have had fewer symptoms with this one than the early losses. Your scan sounded very reassuring. I can’t tell you for definite everything will work out but pregnancy symptoms are sometimes very mild! I am
still waiting for some. Hope everything goes well for you

Hi, thanks for the message.

That's reassuring that you've had less symtoms with your successful pregnacy. I've had less this time too and I was worried that strong symtoms meant for a healthy pregnancy.

The lack of symtoms is worrying me though- at least having them would mean that things were progressing...

Trying to stay positive as I can, but it's so hard not to read too much into things...

Can you pay for a private scan? You might be able to get one for today.

Fair enough hopefully they will see you anyway.

Hello OP, Congratulations and sorry about your previous losses. When I was pregnant (first ever pregnancy) I remember getting quite worried as my symptoms had just all of a sudden seemed to stop and I started to worry that I was not pregnant anymore. Everything turned out ok and he is now 6 weeks old. I hope everything goes ok OP. I know i am unable to say the outcome but i really do hope everything goes smoothly and i am happy your scan was looking good!!

I have considered it - but it's convincing my partner! He's not keen on private scans (we've not had great experiences at private scans before and the EPU said to stay away from them).

Hoping that the EPU will call me back and offer me a reassurance scan. Worry they may think I'm being paranoid but as I called up a couple of weeks ago and got a scan lol. Bet they think I'm at it...!

That's reassuring...

The majority of posts I've read on here with similar concerns do tend to have positive outcomes, which is good! But again this seems to be for a few days rather than over a week.

How long did your symptoms go for?

CC2839 · 26/06/2023 12:57

Mine seemed to go i want to say maybe around 2 weeks? i can not remember exactly sorry but they came back all of a sudden at around 12 weeks and i was about 10 when they just seemed to stop. Although I did have bleeding in between that time so I did get a scan to check everything was Ok. Hopefully you can get seen to get some reassurance. Hope all goes well and you get seen.

Got a bit of a sore head starting, so hopefully that's a good sign!

Hiya pls can anyone help.I have had unprotected sex for a while and am not on any contraception…silly I know😩I’m 2 days late on my period and I’m usually dead on..I’ve tested both days and both negative however I’m having loads of pregnancy symptoms.can anyone pls help

CC2839 · 26/06/2023 13:31

Your very welcome

CC2839 · 26/06/2023 13:34

@129292s When I was pregnant (but I did not know yet) I went the doctors for a water infection and they tested me for pregnancy and it was negative. 2 weeks later I was positive, although I only tested when my period was 6 days late when I was tested at the doctors I wasn't due my period yet. Your period may come and may just be late have you came off contraception recently??

CC2839 · 26/06/2023 13:38

@129292s Also i did not test positive until i was 5 weeks, unsure how far along you would be now if you were. Have you tried a clearblue test which can test days before your period?

129292s · 26/06/2023 17:08

I’m not on any contraception,I’ve never been late on my period before.something is telling me I’m pregnant.my belly has swollen very bad.

129292s · 26/06/2023 17:11

My last period was 25th of last month

CC2839 · 26/06/2023 17:29

@129292s You would be about 4 weeks so if no still no period maybe try testing in a week but when i was pregnant i had this gut feeling i was too

129292s · 26/06/2023 18:16

Just done this test,feel like I can see a faint line.do you?
