There are so many of us that either haven't been hit with the traditional symptoms yet or have seen them come and go. In an effort to try to calm our nerves, I maybe we can commiserate in one spot.

What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?:
Re: No Symptoms Check-in 3/28
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: I am a bit tired, but nothing epic. That is about it...
Rants/Raves/Questions: I had a minor anxiety attack last night. I got a really nervous stomach and got super restless. Not sure where it came from. Maybe a hormone swing. I had to get up at like 8 and take a walk around the block.
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: I am still POAS every morning and still temping! It makes me feel like a crazy person, but seeing a super high temp (it is still 98.5) makes me feel calm in the morning. I also love seeing the Wondfo turn positive before it even gets to the control line and turn blaring within seconds. But honestly, that is the only way I know I am ktfu. I was on FF today and was pretty excited to see that I would be entering my fertile week now if I was still trying. Any milestone helps, I guess!
Progress (week/day): 6w2d
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: Sometimes nips are tender/sensitive, boobs were tender on the sides for like two days, and that went away. I was kinda tired and bloated between weeks 4-5, but not really anymore. I'm still tired, but I feel like I was always tired before the BFP, too. *shrug*
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm really weirded out by the lack of MS. My mom had HG during her pregnancy with me pretty much until I was born. She was bed ridden for 3 full months because it was so bad. I'm seriously just waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I'm also hoping I might be one of the lucky ones who doesn't get too many symptoms? I hope I hope I hope.
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: I moved my first u/s up to today. We saw the bean measuring 6w1d and the HB! My appt was initially scheduled for Friday, but I have just been so worried about a blighted ovum or MMC or ectopic, and I just needed to see what was going on. My initial beta numbers were really good, but my symptoms are so spotty, it's very unnerving. All of my pregnancy tracker apps say "oh you're probably feeling MS by now"... uhh... nope. Not here. I'm glad to know other people are in the mild/no symptoms situation with me.
@HeyBooHey Girl, are you really still temping? I stopped 2 days after BFP and finally paused my FF VIP account! I did POAS once last week though. Can't help it!
Progress (week/day): 6w2d
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: Bloating, but could be a side effect of celiac disease. I was really tired, but also in the middle of a 3 month stretch of working 6 days a week. I had to pee a lot in the beginning but that's kind of subsided too.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Can it be November yet? Or at least April 7 for my first ultrasound? @MissAmeliaPond I'm so glad you saw your heartbeat today! Since we're both at the same dating/having no symptoms it's making me feel a lot better!
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: I POAS this morning. And again 2 days ago. I stopped telling SO that I POAS because he is a worrier worse than I am. Also my mom didn't have much morning sickness with either pregnancy so that made me feel a little better. I keep telling myself "April 7 is next week" over and over again. Hoping it goes by super quickly. I have a few different medical issues so I just need something in my body to go right!!!
My temp went triphasic right before my BFP and then dropped a bit after, as well. But it has been pretty consistently the same ever since. It's like a morning reminder that it isn't all in my head or a dream.
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: sore boobs are gone. Had a moment of "is this nausea?!" today but then I ate a rice cake and realized I was just hungry. I'm thirsty more than usual... maybe a bit more hormonal? I'm definitely hungry more though... And my work uniforms are suffering for it.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I've never wanted to throw up more in my life. It's so pathetic. I'm going to regret saying that, I just know it.
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: Trying not to get over excited about actually being pregnant. Even though I've seen the little bean and its heartbeat, I'll feel better when it's confirmed again on the 7th (appt buddies @ash111916 !)
TW. Loss mentioned
Progress (week/day): 7+4
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: freakin out because my symptoms have subsided. Sitting here fearing the worst. Was pukey last week and that's gone away completely. Boobs are still sore and still tired though
Edit: half my post got eaten??
just went on to say that my loss had soooo much MS I should know better than to rely on the whole "symptoms are a good sign" thing.
My my sister and mother both had NO symptoms for the 7 pregnancies between them.
You never know what's happening in there.
fx for us all!
Progress (week/day): 6 + 1
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: My breasts are pretty tender, but I have fibro so everything always hurts always, also some mild cramping. The fatigue is nothing new for me since I work like 60 hours a week.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Anyone have terrible cramping on just one side since O? I am paranoid and convinced it's the worst case scenario.
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: I went and got a blood pregnancy test last week (at my doctor's recommendation), so when those results came in I finally stopped POAS (I literally peed on like 20 of them). Mostly just keeping busy.
TTC since January 2016
BFP - 3/12/16 - MC 4/5/16
BFP - 6/11/16
Progress (week/day): 8+1
Any Symptoms?? Anything??:
sore boobs off and on and my hands and feet keep falling asleep while I am sleeping which I read was actually a pregnancy sign. In the beginning I was really emotional but that went away after one week.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I can't believe how good I feel. I've been working 96 hour work weeks like a champ. My MMC happened at 12 weeks last time so I am having a really hard time acknowledging this pregnancy until I hear a heart beat. I have my first appointment at 11 weeks.
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant: POAS every morning. And in the back of my head I know HCG will be around and still even continue to rise for a while after a MMC but I still love to see the 2 lines.
Any Symptoms? My boobs are sore and my appetite has increased a ton. I've had minor cramping here and there. I did get one of the worst headaches of my life yesterday and it lasted all night (still feeling some of it this morning).
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm with a lot of you when I'm trying to keep my excitement at bay until after the 1st trimester. I really don't feel like seeing anyone because all I want to do is talk about it but it's so early. It actually makes me kind of mad that we have to be so nervous and cautious and scared that something is going to go wrong. For FTM, someone should have told us this. I always thought this would be the happiest time of my life and instead it's one of the scariest.
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant: I just keep telling myself that no matter how unpregnant I feel, I am actually pregnant. Sometimes just saying the words makes me feel better. I'm willing symptoms to come about (mind over matter) although after that headache yesterday I think I might stop that.
oh I love this thread! I always feel bad mentioning that I'm not sick but its cool to do it here were the poor souls with morning sickness don't have to read!
Progress (week/day): 7 weeks today!
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: tired (even when I wake up in the mornings that stinks) slightly sore boobs (but not nearly as much as the first time around), VERY bloated, sometimes I randomly lose my appetite and feel "not good" just for a moment. I wouldn't call it queasy but just unsettled I guess.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm so excited to be 7 wks but my first apt isn't until 9 wks so I still hve 2 more wks to wait. :-(
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: I don't really have that much anxiety. my symptoms weren't super crazy with the first child so I suppose this is normal. I've been planning to poas again but keep forgetting when I'm home, lol. That shows how concerned I am I guess. I'm just assuming all is well until I'm given a solid reason to believe otherwise.
Here's hoping we all make it through the first tri without any aweful symptoms!
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: boobs are sore on the side. A little bloat. I think I'm tired but I also have a toddler, so that may be it.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I had terrible MS with My daughter. But that didn't start til after 6 weeks. Praying I skip the torture this time.
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: I've POAS a few times in the past week. But I'm waiting on the ball to drop. Trying to mentally prepare for a gaggy hangover that lasts for weeks.
Edit: maybe I am still asleep because I'm not making sense.
Progress (week/day): According to u/s, i am 7w+2days
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: I had really sore boobs as early as after 3 days after ovulation, but they became kind of normal at around 5w. It really freaked me out. I feel tired after work, i fall asleep after dinner. And I eat a little bit more. But I am not sure if these are physiological or psychological
Rants/Raves/Questions: We had been TTC for a long time and I was convincing myself that I was pregnant almost every cycle . Now I got my first ever BFP but it s been so hard to convince myself that this is real. My symptoms now are really milder than my non-pregnant times
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: We had an U/S last friday , we saw the fetal pole and saw the heartbeat. So I keep looking at that u/s picture and try to believe that everything is going well and the baby is growing. As long as everything is going well, I am happy with my asymptotic pregnancy
Progress (week/day): 6 weeks, 4 days
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: I notice my boobs more, but wouldn't say they are sore. I often feel like I might be on the verge of being nauseous, but never really start feeling it. Things that could be symptoms...or totally not
Rants/Raves/Questions: Appointment is Monday and I'm looking forward to it. I don't feel pregnant - physically, emotionally, so it will be nice to have someone tell me it wasn't just a dream. I only POAS once.
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: I say, "well, you haven't had any bleeding, so something's going on in there." That and the fact that with my first, I didn't even know I was pregnant at this point.
This whole thread feels a bit like a humble-brag - but I like it!
Progress (week/day): 7w5d
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: I'm tired but I also have a almost 5 month old who doesn't sleep through the night so there's that... waves of nausea that really don't even last long enough to complain about. but VERY hungry at times to where I dream of eating 4 cheeseburgers in one sitting (but contain myself)
Rants/Raves/Questions: Appointment isn't until April 14th and I hate the waiting game... I had a fetal heart moniter I bought last preganancy and it didn't work then and I tried it this time and I don't even know why I tried because of course it didn't work and it made me mad
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: It was sort of like this with my last pregnancy so I just keep telling myself it's "normal". Baby #1 keeps me occupied as with the last pregnancy all I did was stress through the 1st trimester.
This time, no nausea yet, dizziness is nowhere near as bad. Only thing is tenderness has increased and I'm bloated.
9+2
Any Symptoms?? Anything??:
I'm super tired, especially after work. But I've always been guilty of falling asleep on the couch, so it's not much of a change.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
no symptoms = no excuse to skip workouts. I was kind of looking forward to having excuses
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?:
Exaggerating every tiny symptom.
Light twinge? Obviously cramps.
Ate fast food? Clearly a craving. Etc.
Progress (week/day): 5w4d
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: Sore boobs since the day after we found out (14dpo). Some bloating. I think I'm more tired? And one serious bout with carsickness in a cab home last night, but that might have been in my head.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I'm naturally high anxiety so this is challenging.
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: Acupuncture for stress relief. Meditation, which has been nice. Going to the doctor to meet her for the first time today and also get some solace in being told "it's very early for symptoms" by a medical professional.
@pompomlove - FX for you *hugs*
Progress (week/day): 8 / 2
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: Not a ton. I had sore boobs on the sides but that kind of went away, I was hungrier than usual about 6 weeks in, also has subsided slightly. I have a stronger sense of smell and my body hair is growing faster (lucky me!). I have consistently been waking up at 3 or 4am and not being able to go back to sleep so that's annoying. My boobs have gotten bigger
Rants/Raves/Questions: I had my first OB appointment yesterday, no US which I expected but the nurse had told me I'd probably be able to hear baby's heartbeat during the visit; also didn't happen. I brought up concerns about low progesterone due to not sleeping well but my PCP still declined testing for that. So I am feeling anxious even more anxious. I have a dating US on Monday, it can't come soon enough!
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: nothing really... trying to just not think about it. And talk to DH. And be a neurotic, crazy patient to my doctor :P
So far, no symptoms. I didn't really have any last pregnancy either, so I'm hoping this stays the same!
My first appointment is next morning - kind of nervous about it - fingers crossed!!

Any Symptoms?? Anything??: The bloat. OMG the bloat. And my boobs just feel so heavy and sore.
Rants/Raves/Questions: The crampiness that I continue to have is freaking me out. I intellectually know that it's normal, but we conceived via fertility treatments and I keep waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under me. Hopefully, the ultrasound next week will give us some reassurance.
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant?: Not enough, that's for sure. I try to keep busy and focus on the positives, but until this bean is actually in my arms, I don't think my anxiety will let up much at all.
And just FYI.... Enjoy it now because you might pay for it in the next pregnancy like I am now! Sooooooo unbelievably sick!!!!
Marry to not stress ladies! Lots of prayers for healthy and happy babies and mamas!
Any Symptoms?? Anything??: Really bad cramps and sore boobs.
Rants/Raves/Questions: On Monday night I started spotting and then last night around 3 am it went to heavy blood. I soaked through a pad in 3 hours. Should I be concerned?
What are you doing to control the anxiety of feeling really un-pregnant: Nothing! Absolutly nothing! My husband looked up last night to show me what I'm going through is normal. I'm still having a hard time. I just want to call the doctor and get seen immediatly. I'm going to talk to my mom and mother-in-law today to see what they think. I'm just worried I'll have another miscarriage. I miscarried back in November 2015
IUI #1 Feb 2012= DS1 born 11/2012
Unmedicated BFP (first post-weaning cycle)=DS2 born 9/2014
Unmedicated BFP (first post-weaning cycle again)= EDD 11/2016
