Pregnant after IF

When did you start having symptoms?

Hi everyone. I'm still really early in this pregnancy...I will be 5 weeks tomorrow. Honestly, I have cramping here and there...kinda sorta tender boobs...and still have super dark blue veins on them too...other than that, that's all I've got. I don't have my 2nd beta until Monday so of course everything is running through my mind. When did you start having noticeable symptoms?

Re: When did you start having symptoms?

  • Lurking, but figured I'd answer this. I never felt like I was pregnant, at least what I thought pregnancy would feel like. What you are experiencing was the extent of my symptoms for the most part. I would have some days where I was more tired then others later on (about 8 weeks or so) but never had so many symptoms I was secure with being pregnant, if that makes sense?

     Congratulations! 

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

  • My only early symptom was feeling tired. For me the nausea and other symptoms kicked in around 6 weeks then got worse around 8 weeks. I wouldn't worry about the symptoms yet, just enjoy feeling decent- if the morning sickness hits, you'll have plenty of time to be miserable later :)

    After 2 1/2 years TTC, 3 IUI's, endo, and a lap, a surprise BFP brought us Alexandra Marie!

  • First, congrats!!!  This may be TMI, but my nips were really tender at 4 weeks already, and then the morning sickness started at 5.5 weeks.  I hope you get to miss out on all the throwing up and nausea!

  • we had our first u/s at 5w4d, where we found out we were having twins.

    i always joke with my H that we found out it was twins and all hell broke loose, b/c literally that day is when my nausea started. the next day the vomiting started.

    i hope none of that happens to you!

  • Thanks for the replies :) I over analyze EVERYTHING. Oh how I wish I could fast forward a few months!!
  • Nausea started at 6 weeks and terrible All day "morning" sickness was full blown at 7weeks- lasted until the end of my 12th week.

    Those little blue lines freaked me out...looked like roadmaps LOL!

  • I havent had any symptoms that SCREAM pregnancy. Ive had the occasional headache, which can be normal for me (especially since Ive been off my migraine medicine before conception), and food aversions.. Ive gotten sick once because I got overheated in the bath tub and Im SUPER thirsty. My boobs were tender for like a week only, but are pretty normal now. So dont worry if you dont have any! I know it would only be reassurance but everything has been ok for me so far!

    I don't believe that God ever tells us "no". he has three options. Yes, not right now, or I have something better in mind. We just have to wait & see. BabyFetus Ticker
  • Prayer, I'm not too far ahead of you and I haven't had an abundance of symptoms yet either.  The only think I've consitently had is exhaustion.  I've had a bit of bloat and heavier boobs but that feels like it's backed off a bit the last few days, which of course freaked me out even though all the labs show everything's going just fine.

    So from what I've seen it's pretty normal to be hit and miss on the symptoms at this point.  It's twisted to think how a little morning sickness would be reassuring at this point. Wink

    GL on your next beta on Monday.

  • I'm glad no one else is having OMG I'm pregnant symptoms! I know, I would take some morning sickness right now...we are twisted lol :)
  • I started having symptoms between weeks 5-6.

  • I never really had any obvious symptoms that normally girls notice when pregnant.  I never had nausea at all.  The only symptoms that I got were enormous boobs that were very sore in the beginning and are still growing, bad headaches occasionally, and moodiness/crabbiness all through 1st tri - and it still lingers.  I was so worried something was wrong, but I can't anymore because we have had 3 good ultrasounds now and I have a belly!  So....the moral of the story is don't worry if you don't get many!  GL with your pregnancy and H+H 9 months!!

     Edit:  Oh yeah, I was very tired in first tri and very hungry from weeks like 7-15.

  • I am 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow too :). My only symptoms have been mildly sore boobs and off and on mild cramps. Also, when I sneeze or cough I have round ligament pain bit nothing major. I'm tired a lot more than usual by evening time but I'm good most of the day. I keep worrying about it too but I just have to keep believing everything is perfect and our little bee bee is doing everything he or she should be doing :). I had an ultrasound Friday and you could barely see the sac and fetal pole and I have another one scheduled for Tuesday and we should be able to see things better. I think once we can see the heartbeat I'll start to feel like I reall am pregnant!!

  • I also had crampiness and blue veins in my boobs at 5 weeks.  I was tired, but I was also taking loads of progesterone, so who knows what caused that.  Also, I was completely turned off to meat and was all about carbs and cheese, but no nausea.

      Later on in the first tri, I had occasional queasiness (no throwing up) at night, a huge appetite, and got winded/tired easily.  

      Keep in mind, I'm having triplets. and I still barely had symptoms.  Good luck to you for a healthy, easy pregnancy!
