Still bleeding. It's been 5 days now. And add cramping into the mix! Sitting at the drs office waiting to be seen, again. So tired of my tummy doing flips with anxiety.

goldie987 · October 2015

I crave foods, eat the foods I crave and then feel sick after eating them. Come on body, get yourself together.

mkemommy · October 2015

@VikingGirl12 - I'm sorry about the bleeding. That must be very stressful.

I'm nauseous and dizzy mostly. I slept a ton yesterday but I could still use a nap today.

Hope all turns out to be alright @VikingGirl12 .

I still feel like crap, have cramps and headaches. No energy.

mrsschmity · October 2015

Thinking of you @VikingGirl12. I'd be a nervous wreck also. Let us know how everything goes after your appt!

bprowess · October 2015

Nausea has kicked in... I try to eat small meals throughout the day, but I don't have a desire for any food. It doesn't help that I moved on Saturday and we haven't gone grocery shopping. Currently lying down while trying to work and let this wave pass. I've gotten used to the sore breasts and random cramps that come and go...

ella26 · October 2015

I had just a little spotting today it's brown (sorry TMI) so I know it is most likely ok. Couple that with the cramps I have been having almost every day since 6 DPO and I am pretty freaked out. I just want to go home, cry and snuggle with my pug, but I can't because we have a big work event this afternoon.

@VikingGirl12 thinking of you and hoping so much that all is ok.

mrsschmity · October 2015

I feel like I might jinx myself if I post this, but I haven't had many symptoms so far that are anything to write home about. My sympathies to all of you ladies who are feeling miserable. I'm just over 7 weeks and my biggest problems are exhaustion, lack of appetite, bloating and sore nipples with the occasional mood swings, intermittent cramping and VERY mild nausea here and there. Since this is my first pregnancy, I didn't really know what to expect. I was under the impression that I would have all the symptoms everyone talks about - insanely sore boobs, terrible MS, etc. Nope.

Kballew10 · October 2015

Like @Ella26, I've had cramps since about 10DPO. I've stopped worrying about it (since there is no spotting), but I've saved to tests so I can reassure myself if I start to freak out. My boobs are less sore now, but hello sleepiness and constipation! Water is my friend... TMI, I'm sure!

@VikingGirl12 - FX that everything is going well at the doc!

CourtJack · October 2015

@VikingGirl12 FX for you!!

youenjoymyself · October 2015

My nipples feel like razor blades when my daughter latches on.

crdo · October 2015

Hope all goes well for you @VikingGirl12.

Just shy of 5wks, so all I have so far is bloating, light cramping, and fatigue. But I'm sure that will change.

CocoaPuff818 · October 2015

VikingGirl12 Thinking of you

I started spotting last night and have had more today. It's brownish. I have my first appointment scheduled for tomorrow but had to call and talk to the nurse for peace of mind. The Dr. said that she'll do a US tomorrow and that if the spotting get's worse or I have any pain or cramping to call back. I've been full of anxiety for the last few days leading up to this appointment tomorrow wanting to get confirmation that everything is going ok so far.

I can't express myself well right now so these series of gifs will explain how I'm feeling...

adiaz132003 · October 2015

*question below*

The MS is still really bad as usual but now throw in some post nasal drip which makes me gag even more. Any tips on helping the drip?

matthewsdm · October 2015

@adiaz132003 I've been doing neti pot and making sure to use my humidifier at night, seems to be helping some. Have taken Benadryl a few times at bedtime to try and dry it up too!

ttcours2015 · October 2015

5w3d nothing really going on here. I'm waiting for it to hit me so I "feel pregnant".

I'm 7w2d and still don't really "feel pregnant". Enjoy the lack of symptoms as long as you can!

VikingGirl12 · October 2015

I'm good yall!! Got another ultrasound and the baby looks good. Still no signs of miscarriage or blood coming from the baby. Got tested for infections but wont know until this afternoon/tomorrow. I'll take a good ole yeast infection at this point! Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. So much relief!

goldie987 · October 2015

@VikingGirl12 SO glad to hear that!

CourtJack · October 2015

@VikingGirl12 woohoo! so glad to hear!

mrsschmity · October 2015

So happy to hear @VikingGirl12!! What a relief.

I just had that last week. Try a netti pot. They are amazing!

Kballew10 · October 2015

@ttcours2015 - I still don't feel pregnant either. I wouldn't have noticed half of my "symptoms" without a big heads-up from the HPT!

meggyme · October 2015

@VikingGirl12 glad to hear everything is good.

Went home sick this morning for the first time because I wasn't feeling great, but mostly because I'm tired, didn't sleep well and woke up with a kink in my neck and was generally overly emotional about the whole scenario. Also I have 6 days worth of sick leave to burn by the end of the year.

Still haven't really had hard core ms, but I feel like it's around the corner and I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Most likely it will be next week when I have to fly cross country for a conference.

dee300i · October 2015

Just tired and bloated, and always hungry along with mood swings. I'm almost 7 weeks, I thinking some of these are from the progestrone I'm taking tho. I have a 4 year old and a one year old too. So the tiredness can so relate to that. Wouldn't mind some MS tho, So it would resure me I think.

Great news @VikingGirl12

HighFive16 · October 2015

TwoBadMice · October 2015

Glad to hear the good news @VikingGirl12

I'm super gassy and crampy and emotional. I'm at work and just want to...

HighFive16 · October 2015

@adiaz132003I remember reading before that benadryl is safe in pregnancy so that might well help you out.

BakerBird525 · October 2015

@VikingGirl12, glad to hear everything is ok!!

I haven't had anything too bad yet. Lots of twinges down there today, very mild cramping here and there that I'm not worried about anymore, VERY sore nips, want to eat. all. the. BAD. foods, and so so so tired. I'm taking tomorrow off to stay home with DH and do absolutely nothing. But I'm sure I'll be wide awake at night! What's up with that? Also, feel like I'm getting RLS a bit. I just toss and turn most of the night.

^^this- just had my first ultrasound at 6w2d and all looks well though! This is finally starting to feel real :x

samsonator · October 2015

I'm extremely tired and hungry. Are we really only supposed to gain 1 pound this trimester? I'm frickin' starving all the time! I also have mild cramping on and off. Slight nausea on and off, but wouldn't call it MS. I feel pretty good, biggest thing is how tired I am.

queenklau · October 2015

At 8w: Bloaty, gassy, sleepy, hungry, moody.
Nothing too bad in general-and comes in waves.

I feel like I am naming snow whites dwarves haha! :-?

DeePaddy24 · October 2015

I am so, so tired...but, I can't sleep! I went to bed so early last night because I was too exhausted to function, but I still struggled to fall asleep & woke up so often throughout the night. I just want to sleep like a normal person again!

Also, I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster. I can be so happy & loving life one minute, than a sobbing mess the next. Fun times! (ugh)

hockeyfan42 · October 2015

Yay @VikingGirl12! So glad for your good news!

I am just tired and seem to have no appetite lately. I really hope MS doesn't hit while my parents are visiting later this week.

ahernandez16 · October 2015

I'm mostly just exhausted, but I haven't slept through the night in weeks and just this week my boobs have started to be SO sore, all the time. Other than that, I have a twinge of nausea in the morning if I don't jump out of bed and eat immediately and I'm literally starving all day but full after just a few bites - and of course nothing remotely healthy sounds appealing.

Honestly, if it wasn't for the small pile of tests I've taken, I probably wouldn't even know I was pregnant. My first appointment is on Wednesday so I'm excited for this to all finally start to feel real.

I'm glad babe is ok! I've been having spotting/cramping every time I strain while going to be bathroom so I know your worry!

cdmkruger · October 2015

I think i have experienced every symptom.. The MS is very rough. I dont want to eat anything bu if i dont i get shaky and the mood swings begin. I wake up at 4am and cant sleep again for an hour or two. I get to hear the heartbeat tomorrow though so its totally worth it. 7w4d

brigham21 · October 2015

I have had a very sore chest I can't lay on my stomach cause they are so sore. Mild cramping, exhausted, indigestion, slight nausea depending on the day nothing to consistent with that yet. Very bloated I wish it would just turn into pregnant belly so I didn't feel awkward! I'm only at 5w today so I have a ways to go.

Linsbins · October 2015

So far I only have sore boobs. They're bigger too and now I'm understanding the bloat, but no morning sickness yet. Counting myself very lucky and hoping I'm not jinxing myself!
