Intro + question about pregnancy symptoms

ThursdayMorning

Hey all,

New to this board. Was on the TTC board and finally got my BFP on the 23rd. I am ecstatic to be here. Finally! Looking forward to chatting with you all.

I do have to say that this has been an anxious week and hoping someone has some advice or input for me.

I am so paranoid about this pregnancy because it's exactly like the first one. It's very early still (four weeks) but I have no symptoms at all. It's making me wonder if I have low progesterone and possibly was the cause of the first miscarriage. I mean, shouldn't I at least have sore boobs?

Travelling for the holiday and won't be able to make a dr. appt for at least a week. Might be too late by then?

Sigh. We just move from one worry to the next, don't we?

From what I've been told symptoms do not = healthy or non healthy pregnancy. 4 weeks is still pretty early for symptoms. For me personally I didn't really feel consistent symptoms until week 6 and I was sick as a dog. Today is the first day in actually holding food down again! (At 9 weeks). Make an appointment with your doctor and ask him to check your levels for peace of mind but for now take some deep breaths and relax. If there are no signs pointing towards a miscarriage (severe cramping and bleeding) it's safe to say for now you are pregnant. There are lots of people who don't even know they are pregnant at 4 weeks so you're a head of schedule

Aw. Thank you. Helpful post and very reassuring. I remember you from the TTC board. 9 weeks! That's awesome. Happy for you!

The only symptoms I had that early were heart palpitations. Your doctor can always call progesterone in to any pharmacy, though. Even if you don't need it it can't hurt so he shouldn't have a problem doing it.

I didn't have any real symptoms until 6 weeks. I've been pregnant 6 times and I have two boys. My boobs were not sore for one day with any of my pregnancies whether they were healthy or losses. I guess I'm just weird like that. So try not to get too hung up on the symptoms or lack thereof at least just yet!!

Every pregnancy is different - I was sick as a dog with my rainbow baby and I'm now 6 weeks with no crazy symptoms.

I'm on 200mg of progesterone too so I don't think it's an indicator of low progesterone at all

When I was pregnant with my daughter I started to get sick at 7 weeks. This time I feel a little nauseous, mostly at night. And sore boobs on and off. Some days when they aren't sore I freak out
