@katie121209 try not to freak out! Spotting can definitely be normal. If it continues or worsens you can always run it by your doctor. I'm sure everything is fine!
@katie121209 I had spotting and was put on progesterone. It stopped after that. Did you have sex recently or do anything really strenuous? I'd call your dr just for the reassurance from a professional. I had an early ultrasound and all seems to be fine with my spotting. I told myself the little bean was just burrowing in extra snugly.
On the note of Star Wars, anyone else dreading having a 5/4 baby, so you don't have to hear "May the Fourth be with you" a gazillion times every single year on their birthday??
That's my niece's birthday... so my brother changed hide license plate to "drthdad" (Darth Dad). Total geeky family over here
I'm 3 weeks 6 days. I took a *few* tests yesterday and they all had the same faint pink line, but I knew even before the test. At exactly 3 weeks and 1 day, food tasted WEIRD. Not all food, just the Pepsi, chips, and salsa at my fave Mexican restaurant. I couldn't even eat the salsa, it tasted so off to me and I was STARVING! My husband kept reassuring me that it tasted fine and I realized I was pregnant.
He still doesn't know yet Just the bump community lol. I'm planning a surprise for him when I've reached a couple days past 4 weeks.
Today sugar snap peas tasted bad to me and I normally love those. I've also felt incredibly fatigued, bloated, cramps - like period cramps, that strike randomly, and a weird, mild sensation of nausea mixed with faintness. And gas
Oh yeah and I have like no consistency to body temp lol. I get so hot out of no where, and then I'm shivering later on and the house is at the same temp. I'm really loving all the symptoms. I feel like the more of them I feel, and the stronger they are, the more pregnancy hormone I'm making. So the chances of this being a sure thing get better and better. Every time I feel horrible or "off" I do a little internal cheer that the baby is probably healthy
@sandbar517 Here! Due May 4th and my last baby was due Dec 18, 2015 the day starvwars came out lol. He ended up coming on the 9th so I doubt anyone else but me would notice.
Is it weird that I have no symptoms? I have high rising betas and had a US and everything looks like how it should be at a little over 5 weeks. My past 2 pgs I had sore boobs, nausea, and tiredness. This time absolutely nothing. I mean my nipples are a little sore but not enough to really notice. How many of you STMs had late arriving symptoms or not many early symptoms at all? My doctor said I should appreciate it while I feel so good but she also said some (few) people don't feel like crap at all. TW------ I've had multiple losses so I am more than welcoming any horrible pg symptoms! Makes it feel more real.

I don't think I would know I was pregnant at all outside of missing my period. I noticed I was more tired, and craving Mexican food, but I used to be a pothead so random food cravings don't really set off any alarm bells... I took the test on a whim. I never had morning sickness last time, and I'm hoping for the same outcome this time around. (I'm also that mom everyone hated because my DS started sleeping through the night on his own at seven weeks... Pretty sure I'm not going to get lucky in that department again)

I have been working out so maybe that's why? I hate calling the doctor I always feel like I'm bothering them but you're probably right
@justsuzie sore breasts are my only major symptom. I tested so early this time because I was sick and wanted to know if I could take any medication and I was not expecting to get a line. I feel like it is still early for symptoms. With DS, I found out I was pregnant much later and I want to say most of the symptoms didn't kick in until 7-8 weeks, when I had fatigue and morning/all day sickness.
One day off 5 weeks and the fatigue has hit me. I can cope with everything else but today I just want to sleep, not entertain a 2 & 3.5 year old. And my mam is in hospital so I'm trekking back and for there every evening. Only me & DH know about the pregnancy. Normally I'd tell my mam straight away but she got a cancer diagnosis 3 weeks ago and is suddenly very ill and confused so it's clearly not the time. Feel like I'm being pulled in so many directions at the moment and so hormonal I keep wanting to cry all the time.
@Cerisrichard I'm sorry things are rough for you right now. I can relate, my dad was diagnosed with cancer when I was seven months pregnant and we each took turns staying with him in the hospital. I wish you and your mam the best!
@salixjoy38 That eases my mind but I just woke up with nausea......Looks like it's begun. @katie121209 Don't worry about bothering them. That is what they are there for. I feel like you're getting your money's worth! I called last week at 11pm just to ask if I could take my inhaler. Piece of mind is work someone thinking you are overreacting. GL
@Cerisrichard I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. I've had a parent with a terminal illness before but not during pregnancy. Good luck to your mom!
@Cerisrichard I'm so sorry about your mom. I went through this with my mom last summer and it was very emotional. You can PM me if you ever need to talk.
I just wanted to say thanks everyone for your support. It's been a tough few days with her in hospital but it really has helped. She seems a little better this evening, which is a good.
@Cerisrichard That's good to hear. I hope she continues to improve. That must be super scary. SO sorry you are going through this.
Does anyone else get morning sickness that is more like seasickness/motion sickness. I don't feel like I'm going to puke. I do feel like I am hungover on a boat. I'd rather puke.
*edit pg brain had me forget to ask my symptom question.
I have been queasy all the time since Monday. I only tested last night but was pretty sure I must be preggo between that and the fatigue and the bloating and the cramps. I am so bloated I feel like I look 5 months pregnant already!! My usual dress pants felt so uncomfortable I had to ask the hubs to bring me comfy pants at lunch. 4w3d now.
Anyone else having a fair bit of cramping? I have been especially in the night and morning. It's not as bad as period cramps but I still need a heating pad to be really comfortable when it hits. Makes me kinda nervous.
@Cerisrichard so sorry to read about your mom. That must be so hard at what should be a joyful time. I hope she continues to improve.
@ivyvines6 thank you! I just saw the on call doctor to see about being referred to someone who does obstetrics and when I asked him about it he was like "well, you know almost 1 in 3 pregnancies don't make it to 12 weeks" . I'm just like ??!? That is not helpful or encouraging??? It was kind of upsetting. But trying not to take it too much to heart because he's an old dude who seemed to know nothing about pregnancy and other stuff online does seem to show its pretty common.
TW- My discharge turned into bright red today and I was sent to the ER to confirm a MC. I am optimistic we will have another chance again. Good luck ladies have healthy pregnancies and sticky beans!!!!
