This is my first pregnancy and I could use some advice! I'm currently 6w 3d. I've had mostly constant mild pelvic cramps, cravings -hungry constantly (eating seems to calm my nausea), sore nipples/ large BBs, moody, frequent peeing, tire easy while doing housework, and bouts of extreme tiredness. However, on my 6w 1d, I had painful pelvic cramps and back cramps that lasted for about an hour - I'd say similar to period pains. The day after that pain, my symptoms have subsided. No more mild cramps, less peeing, and less tired. The mild cramps gave me comfort that I was pregnant, but not anymore.
Could this be a sign of a miscarriage? Should I be concerned?? My first ultrasound is not until 8 weeks.
Other info: 5'5" 130 lbs. Age 27. Hcg at 5w2d was 6930
Thank you!

Re: 6 weeks pg - cramps then sudden loss of symptoms. Miscarriage?
if you're having very painful cramping that is accompanied by red blood &/or blood clots, get checked out asap.
Not to freak you out too much, but how intense were the cramps? This is sort of what happened when I had an ectopic. Some pretty serious cramping, but short-lived. I started lightly spotting the next day. With an ectopic, you often have shoulder pain with the cramping and it tends to be very localized. And pretty severe.
I would say keep an eye on your pain and if you start bleeding, you should call your doctor. More than likely, it is not ectopic (they are rare), but it won't hurt to pay attention.
Thank you all for responding! I'm feeling a bit less worried.

So having/not having symptoms is not an indicator of a loss of pregnancy.
It is, however, perfectly natural to have 'scares', especially in the first trimester, of a loss. And, with that being said, anything can happen unfortunately. You didn't mention any loss of blood, and as I understand it, a loss is often accompanied by bleeding (not always, but typically).
The only way to truly know is to see your Doctor. I'd try calling them and explain what you felt and they should be able to offer you advice or suggestions. Good luck.
