This is so gross I almost don't want to post it, but this is why we're here, I guess...
Sort of yellowy very snot-like mucus driiiiipped into toilet when I peed for the four thousandth time today. Never in my life have I spent so much time discussing what I wipe off of myself with people as this past week. I'm mostly relieved it's not blood with the spotting that's been going on but is this a normal sort of symptom? I know the pregnancy discharge can be crazy, I'm just not sure if the color should concern me.

@ccvslp I believe discolored, so yellow or green, discharge could indicate an infection. You could always call the doctor to see what they think. If it's accompanied by foul odor or itching I would definitely get it checked out.
I say it's normal because the increasing levels of estrogen change the color and consistency of discharge very easily. As long as there's no smell, and you're not itching it will usually clear up on its own within a couple days anyway.
I don't really know if this is a symptom but my boyfriend and I went to a cookout with his family today and I ate a single hotdog with ketchup and that's it. I was so nauseous I didn't even want to go but I made myself eat. All of the sudden I wanted crisp, cold bread and butter pickle chips. I asked if they had any and bf's dad goes, "No. Are you pregnant?" And I was mortified. I haven't told anyone yet so I said no and scurried off trying to look inconspicuous but I don't know how good of a job I did

Food aversions and cravings are normal right now, and definitely fall into the pregnancy symptom category.
More insomnia. I just can't shut off my brain. Everything is running through my head and I'm so over it. I just want to sleep. Heartburn isn't nice either.
@allison1derlnd, yes. That's exactly how I explain it to everyone. Constant feeling of being hungover. Super hungry but nauseated at the same time, nothing sounds good. And just want to go back to sleep LOL @ccvslp I would say weird CM could be normal, but with the spotting you're having and frequent urination, a UTI could definitely be the culprit as well. Keep us updated, fingers crossed for you!
My boobs are still so sore and heavy feeling, and I feel like I need a bigger bra already. Insane. Peeing at least twice a night, constant nausea. Don't make me brush my teeth, please. Gag reflex is horrible!!

Like a lot of you, nothing looks appetizing. I don't want to eat anything, but if I don't eat regularly, I'm queasy. It actually seems like a very mild form of morning sickness though (esp after reading your story, @BritJonathan ), but I still want to just crawl in a ball and sleep all day. I dread eating (since everything looks awful), but it's the only thing that makes me feel better
@sparkymcgeee I've had sciatica issues ony my right side since college (i was stupid while moving into my townhouse...) I've found that this helps me a ton: I lay on my left side, facing the back of the couch. Then I take my right leg, pull my knee up toward my chest with it up on the back of the couch. it opens up your hip, stretches the areas that get tight and takes pressure off the nerve for a bit
I hope that makes sense lol

My first symptom in my last pregnancy was painful boobs, like don't even look at them they hurt so bad. I figured that would be the same this time but nada. Up until today that is. Still pretty mild but I can tell that it's in its way. Was running on the treadmill this morning and could feel ever ysingle boob bounce 10 fold.
My boobs dont really hurt, but they are tender and feel heavy, and super sensitive (TMI but DH said he found he's new "on" button lol) I had a few waves of nausea Friday afternoon, so far nothing that some breathing and concentrating really hard can't keep at bay. Been a little more emotional. I haven't been hungry at all and I get full so fast. Heartburn started on Friday and has been like a fire until yesterday afternoon (had a cookout at my parents' and finally something didn't kill me) I have a total aversion to anything really sweet so cookies, cake, ice cream, nothing is a temptation for me. The only exception being orange sherbet which put out the heartburn fire Friday night. Now the cravings are starting, I've wanted a cheeseburger with tomato mayo and ketchup for days (getting that for lunch) and all I can think about right now is steak and eggs with a baked potato for dinner (whomever mentioned mashed potatoes on the other thread, this is all your fault lol

I'm not sure who told me last week when I called the OB's office that they couldn't do anything for me until I was a new patient and had my orientation appt.... I called today ready to demand they move that appt up if nothing was going to happen until then after my weekend spotting and they put me through to a nurse no problem. She was WONDERFUL. She went and talked with a doctor and called back and said they'd have me come in this afternoon to check my HCG levels with labs and do an early u/s (I'm assuming to make sure there's one and it's where it's supposed to be; I know there won't be heartbeat yet at 5 weeks.) I'm so relieved to be getting checked but now I'm also terrified and super nervous of what they'll find. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!!
I am still queasy, but somehow not as much as I was a week ago, which makes me nervous. I have cramps, especially focused on the right side, which makes me nervous. I have a sore shoulder, which makes me nervous. My nipples are super sensitive/sore, but at least that doesn't make me nervous!
I am a nervous wreck basically and will be until I've had an ultrasound proving this isn't an ectopic. I don't know why my paranoia has focused on that small chance!
@ccvslp yay! I'm so glad they are bringing you in. I hope for the best and keep us updated!
afm, I had my first U/S today! I was measuring right on track at 6w4d which coincides with when I think I ovulated! TW* since I did not have a period between my MMC and this pregnancy /TW. The tech showed us the gestational sac and we saw cardiac activity- woo! The only thing that has my PGAL brain freaking out is the HR is 108, which is on the low side. The American pregnancy association says that normal for 6-7 weeks tho is 90-110. Can anyone reassure me with a "low" ish early FHR and things were fine? I know I just need to stop worrying and relax...
@sandbar517 That's just what the American pregnancy association says. I haven't met with my OB yet but my old OB said "they like it 120+ at this point." I happened to have my U/S at 6w4d last time as well. I don't know why the information about a healthy range is so varied.
I didnt bloat much with any of my previous pregnancies, especially this early but I feel like I gained 20 lbs over night. I'm also hitting nausea pretty early for me. I had a (really dumb) theory my second pregnancy that I had become so used to being tired that first tri fatigue didn't impact me. No, I got lucky second preg. I am soooo tired.
This isnt preg related but i have the WORST knot between my shoulders. Can I use icy hot when pregnant?!? I probably won't and it's probably fine anyway but I just wanna whine.
Okay so after saying my queasiness is less it's come back with a vengeance. I'm really nauseated but have been holding back from puking. For with experience with this, is that a good thing or will I feel better if I let it happen??
Not sure if there's a level of tired above what I've hit. I even ordered the wrong thing at lunch today, I'm so out of it! The bloat is still lingering, but doesn't seem quite as bad. General queasiness almost all day, but gets worse when I get hungry. The problem is, like PP said, it's hard to want to eat when I feel sick! Halfway through the first trimester...I already see a tiny speck of light at the end of a long, long tunnel.
I've been in that "I'm gonna throw up any second" state all day, but the short relief that comes with vomiting hasn't come. Added a third dose of B6/Unisom in the afternoon, hoping that helps.
@molly1108-2 I hear you about the fatigue. You could ask your doctor to check your thyroid levels if this is an unusual amount of fatigue for you. Also, I had a lot of shoulder tension last pregnancy too, which I attributed to poor posture at a desk I was using - but I'm getting the same thing this time :-S
I am doing a lot better than I thought I would be, but I am only 5 weeks 4 days. Last pregnancy I was queasy but never threw up, and my boobs killed me. This time I haven't really felt queasy much at all, and my boobs don't hurt at all either. Pretty much the only sign of pregnancy is that I cry at the drop of the a hat, a few twinges/cramps, and some fatigue. I don't WANT to feel sick but I also would love a sign that everything is okay. Also -- I realize there's still plenty of time to feel like crap, and we are taking an anniversary trip across the country next week so I'd love for it to hold off until after those flights...
@rebeccashoke I feel you! I'm feeling serious nausea, but know vomiting. 6w1d. We are headed to NOVA/DC (from CA) next week and I'm nervous about the flight. Paid extra for the direct flight in hopes that the few extra hours saved will be worth it.
My first pregnancy was a special snowflake. Zero symptoms other than exhaustion here and there (without kids that was a breeze). Now I'm crampy, major headaches, and super exhausted (like almost take a nap in my coworkers office), on top of crazy bloat. Bloat to the point that a woman at my work said to my coworker and I "you guys just keep trading off being pregnant!". She isn't pregnant (had her DS 11 months ago). I'm 7 weeks pregnant and it's not known. SO WHICH OF US LOOKS PREGNANT, LADY???
