Hi,
Looking for some advice! First pregnancy.
I am in the very early stages of pregnancy (5 weeks) and up until yesterday evening I was getting cramp/twinges since the weekend which is why I tested. I had my HCG levels on Monday and they were at 418 and I am going back today to have them done again.
I am worried something has gone wrong since my twinges have stopped ☹️

Has anyone been through similar?

Hi OP, congratulations. It is very normal for symptoms to stop and start throughout the whole first trimester.
Good luck with your pregnancy

Thank you, that is reassuring.
I get my 2nd HCG results back later, so keeping my fingers crossed!

Hopefully that can put your mind at rest a bit.

I'm 12+4 now and had weeks where I've had every symptom going then times when they vanish and I don't even feel pregnant.
First trimester is such a worry!
