Pregnant after IF

Symptoms disappeared at 9w

I'm going to be "that person" and ask this symptom question. I had strong symptoms from about 6.5w until a couple of days ago when they disappeared! I'm 9w1d today and my boobs don't hurt anymore, barely any nausea (could be the sea bands?) and I don't seem to be peeing as much. I still am constipated though, maybe even moreso than usual. I wouldn't mind that symptom disappearing.

Was this about the time some of you saw your symptoms go away? Is it the sign of the placenta taking over? Just curious. After two losses, I'm pretty nervous. I worry I overexerted myself putting away Christmas decor and bathing the dog and hurt the baby somehow. Oh, the tricks my mind plays on me! Thanks for helping this crazy lady feel better!

Re: Symptoms disappeared at 9w

  • I think everyone is different.  I have hardly had any symptoms my entire pregnancy! I am finally getting some constipation in my 3rd trimester! Besides my growing bump I might be of those "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories (well, if I had not done IVF).
  • It could be that your symptoms are going away (which is ok!) or it could be what happened to me... you feel good for a couple days, just long enough to think "hmm, I'm feeling better?" then BAM, the symptoms start up again :/

    The boobs not being sore anymore did seem to stop (nearly for good) at around 9 - 10 weeks for me, though there's still days where they'll be randomly achy.

    As far as the placenta, my RE was fine with me stopping meds at 9 weeks because the placenta was starting to do it's job by that point.

    I'm sure you're fine but always ask when you have questions! :)

  • This happened to me too, right around 9 weeks. I was so worried that I went to my ob, and he did a quick ultrasound. We saw a nice strong heartbeat. The nausea came back a few days later worse than ever but comes and goes instead of being all day (and I still worry every time it is gone!). It can't hurt to call your dr if you are really worried. They should understand after all you have been through!

  • i had no symptoms until 20 weeks aside from increased peeing during the night.  However i do remember lots of girls who had the early symptoms asking this same question and it being normal for them to come and go!!!!  it's hard to trust that a body is doing the right thing when its betrayed you for so long, i still have issues with this!

  • I was just like @katekat8721 around 9/10 weeks i would think that i was getting better and then BAM it came back like a mac truck lol I'm still on and off now. My boobs stopped hurting around 6 weeks and don't really hurt now even. 
  • Everyone is different, so I wouldn't worry about it at all!  My symptoms didn't start going away until about 12 weeks, but I also didn't really have many until 7-8 weeks.  My boob soreness pretty much went away after 6 weeks, now it's just my nipples that constantly feel like they're on fire, so I think that's normal after the initial size increase.  I also never experienced the having to pee All.The.Time. until recently around 14 weeks, so I wouldn't think too much into that, either.  Frankly, the peeing thing doesn't really make sense to me since baby and uterus are still relatively small at this point.  I'm also with you on the constipation...it's so obnoxious!  Try to eat as much fiber and greenery as you can stomach.  Now that I've hit second tri, I'm finding it a lot easier to eat salads where from week 7-12ish I wanted nothing to do with vegetables or anything seemingly healthy.

    I get where you're coming from, though, because when my symptoms would come and go early on I asked the RE every time I went in for an u/s.  It can be nerve wracking after going through IF, but as long as you're not in pain or see any bright red blood you're probably a-ok!

  • I have mild symptoms in the beginning anyways but as PP mentioned, they came and went. I would get sick one day and be okay for a few days and then it would come back. It made me crazy though so I feel your pain.
    I still worry daily! I am sure everything is okay though!

    My already mild symptoms pretty much disappeared after 8 weeks or so. I now feel pretty normal. I haven't had an u/s since 8w3d (am 11w6d) but so far so good.

  • Just searched this thread and it's given me a little piece of mind.

    I'm 9 weeks 3 days, and I've had crazy intense symptoms since 6 weeks. And then poof, just like that they vanished at 9 weeks!!!! No more sore boobs, no more intense hunger, no more nausea, no more dizzyness, I feel completely normal, and it's really freaking me out.

    Oh, and I'm having period cramps....luckily no bleeding so hoping everything is ok.

    I've never hoped to feel sick this much in my entire life!!!!

  • Hang in there @cmcintos the op actually just had her baby and all is well. Try not to worry I know it can be hard. Remember symptoms are not a sign of a healthy baby. Fx for you.

  • I've just been thru the same although I'm at 8+3. Started pink and brown spotting yesterday and nausea disappeared. Was beside myself and stayed in bed all day, but baby had strong HB today and growing well, and spotting stopped. So relieved. These boards and comments have been so helpful!!
