Hey there and congrats! I have had a little nausea (no vomiting yet thankfully) and have been cramping some with an achy lower back. No spotting but this is my second pregnancy and I KNEW before I even took the test just based on how I felt. How about you? Hope it is all going smoothly.
So far, I have had no spotting but I have been experiencing a lot of discharge. I’ve had tender and sensitive breasts, a little bit of nausea every once and a while but really mild, and lots of cramps (I hope this is normal, it’s my first pregnancy so I have no idea). I’ve also been getting tired/winded a little more easy than usual.
My weirdest symptom, though, was the extra mucus production. I got sick the week before my BFP, with sneezing and stuffy nose, because I had so much drainage down my throat. I still have a lot of mucus, making me always feel the need to swallow and blow my nose.
For my other pregnancy and this one, I knew I was pregnant because I got so itchy! And I get hives when I eat cheese, which is sad 😔 no nausea so far, some cravings of soupy, liquidy things. But it's so early... Not looking forward to when the nausea starts!
Some nausea, overwhelming bouts of exhaustion. I slept pretty much all day yesterday. Some pressure in my uterus, not really cramping. And sore sensitive breasts. The day before my BFP, I did an early morning workout out in the blazing sun and then was nauseous or asleep for the rest of the day. That clued me in lol
I’ve had some cramping and lower back pain. It’s always unnerving, but keep reminding my myself that I had this with other pregnancies. I had a loss last month and keep peeing on sticks to make sure I’m still pregnant. I might as well just flush my money down the toilet. I must stop!
@therealbitts I’m still POAS too... they’re not done getting darker ($40 in sticks seems perfectly reasonable!) 😝
My breasts started feeling sore and tender with the headlights showing through my bra before I got a positive, but they haven’t stopped and they’ve really filled out already! I also threw up before my positive and once after- I asked my MW and she said early symptoms are typical of second pregnancies. I’m just worried the nausea will get worse...
@therealbitts@craftywitch Glad I'm not the only one still POAS!
I had some cramping that just felt different and a SUPER stuffy nose with lots of sneezing but I didn't feel sick at all. Plus my breasts were tender and my nipples couldn't stand rubbing on anything they were just so sensitive... All together that was a heads up something was different!
Hi ladies! So far, I am just really crampy with lower back pain. I have had some waves of nausea, but no vomiting. My last pregnancy I was pretty nauseous but never got sick, so fingers crossed that is the case this time also.
Today I had a craving for protein! Had a snack of just a hamburger patty with ketchup and it was the most delicious things. So weird cuz I usually love carbs more than protein but I'm chalking it up to the growing bub
I knew before I tested positive at 9dpo because of implantation bleeding. I’m super regular and NEVER spot. We had tried to get pregnant this mo and as soon as I saw it I was like...yay! it worked!!
Ugh I’m seriously dreading the nausea. I was violently ill and throwing up until at least 20 wks last time. It’s not too bad yet but it’s still suuuper early. I have had a few random bouts of nausea like at 3am this morning. Woke up sick af and threw up the spicy Doritos I ate before bed. Misery. Oh well I’m taking it as a good sign. I was never nauseous with my MCs but I was early with my 7mo old so in a messed up way I’m actually thankful for it. I’m still BF my baby so I’m hoping my boobs don’t hurt as bad as they did last time and that I don’t dry up because I’m not done yet!!
So far it’s all been good signs but I’m still petrified that I’ll lose this one too. I’m trying to not get my hopes up too much yet but I really have a good feeling about it.
my only symptoms right now are extreme nausea in the mornings, sore boobs (but on progesterone, so may be a contributing factor?), and lots of cramping. i'm so nervous about everything, but hopefully all this is good signs. the two betas i had were great, so i hope it all continues.
Not much yet! Felt a few mood swings, ugh. And yesterday felt unusually tired. I'm still breastfeeding my first so hoping no sore breasts, that sounds miserable while nursing!
@shellac835 FX nursing isn’t an issue for you! I’m worried about it too...my LO is 7mo so I’m nowhere close to being ready to quit! How old is your first?
@jynjer91 He's 18 months...I don't feel in a hurry to quit but am also certain I do NOT want to tandem nurse, so am planning to start weaning soon I'll also be away from him for a week at the end of August so that seems like a good time to be done, so I'm slooowly trying to reduce feedings in the next few months but it's hard. Are you planning to tandem nurse, or do you want to finish with your current LO before the new baby comes?
I have had little to no symptoms at all I got a early bfp at 9 dpo I had some nausea mostly the middle of the night but nothing since then! I'm about 5-6 weeks now and just have some fatigue. This is my 3rd pregnancy with my other two I had loads of symptoms lol
Is anyone else not having many symptoms at 5-6 weeks? I am worried since I just had a miscarriage in March.
@lovemy3plus1 I didn't have much nausea initially with my first, and then when I got it, I could keep it at bay if I kept eating... (which was an excuse to snack constantly, lol). I'm sure things are ok! I'm not having nausea right now... Just food aversions and some cravings. Oddly enough, I can't stand the sight or smell of chicken
@agesandstages I was itchy last week and my boss asked if I was pregnant. I tested later when I got off work and it was positive, which was a very pleasant surprise. And I have gotten the metallic taste with water starting yesterday!
My pants are too tight I have a capsule wardrobe so I only own 2 pairs of woven skinny work pants. They have no give and they're uncomfortable and digging already. I know it's just from bloat, but I have to figure out some kind of solution here. I can't wear my 1 stretchy black skirt every day forever.
@craftywitch Oh no!!! I'm so sorry, that's very tough!
Here's a weird one. DH had pizza last night (I had a healthy dinner lol) and he's like do you want a piece? And I'm like YEAH PIZZA SOUNDS GREAT! Legit tasted and smelled like fish? LIKE WHAT? DH said it tasted fine and I was crazy.
My nausea has RAMPED UP! It all day sickness that lasts from about 10AM until I go to bed. I'm also now making a LOT more trips to the bathroom. Welcome to week 6, I guess. I'm trying not to complain since I was just worried a few days ago about not having symptoms. Weirdly enough the nausea gives me hope that things are still progressing.
Hi, ladies. The first bfp at 11dpo I had nausea, like a tightening feeling on the back of my throat that would make me gag. Exhausted from doing normal routine things. Now I'm dealing with constipation /diarrhea, still tired, some food tastes odd, I'm SUPER bloated and still tired. Also pressure around my hip/ovarie area. I still freak out every time I feel something weird since I've had miscarriage and a stillbirth before I had my son.
Not many symptoms and a very small bit of brown spotting. The progesterone slams me almost exactly an hour after I take it and it’s like I’m drunk. My carpal tunnel started to come back a couple of days ago, but it’s on and off. I had insomnia for a few days before and after the BFP. A little nausea here and there, mainly when driving for a while. I keep touching my very flat as a pancake boobs (thanks, breastfeeding!) and there hasn’t been any change. I really wish they did a beta with the progesterone test...
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@NYTino24 if it makes you feel better I have zero tenderness with my boobs this pregnancy. In fact, sensitivity before ovulation and after is my first clue I am going to ovulate. Anyways, I was worried about not having sensitivity this time too, especially considering my first progesterone, but by the second progesterone test it was high. I am breastfeeding this time as well, so every time DD latches I am hyper aware of how it feels, and yep nothing. I have zero symptoms right now, but that’s pretty normal for me. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.
I’ve started to get evening sickness, pretty much the moment I sit down to dinner. It’s fantastic 🙄
@DDRRT1982 I’m on progesterone too, and have been on my other two pregnancies. The first two pregnancies I had zero breast tenderness and everything was fine. This is the first time I’ve had it. And, I feel you on carpal tunnel. I’ve had that too, and it’s a totally bizarre symptom to me.
I had that throat pain/tightness about a week ago. It was so weird! It only lasted about 30 mins but it was strange. Since last Friday I've been soooo nauseous in the evening, which is what made me test. My sciatica immediately flared up, I had it really badly when I was pregnant with my first so this time around I was suspicious. I feel generally ill all day, I can't even eat. I've never experienced this and I hope it passes!!
Thanks @DDRRT2982! No spotting in days and the carpal tunnel flares along with nausea on and off. I started getting some fatigue and bloating, too. Still cramping and sensitive sense of smell. I cancelled my RE appointment, but the OB doesn’t seem to have an earlier appointment even though they suggested it.
@elmann1 I had the same sciatica issue almost immediately after getting a BFP. Could be due to activity like carrying my son, shoes, weather, etc. also... but it bothered me a ton for several days!
Is anyone who is on progesterone seeing higher BP than normal? I went to Urgent Care yesterday for ear pain (my tube is falling out) and it was 131/75. It’s usually much lower for me.

Omg my nipples hurt so bad now. Taking a shower was painful, having he water hit. My nose is also runny, so I wonder if I’m getting cold, or if it’s pregnancy-induced rhinitis.
@NYTino24 I’m not aware of higher blood pressures while on progesterone last time, and I haven’t had my BP taken this pregnancy so far.
@NYTino24 I'm on progesterone as well, but haven't had my BP taken for anything yet.
My main symptoms so far seem to be boob pain and mood swings. My left boob seems to be growing twice as fast as the other! Hopefully they even out as time goes on. And as far as mood swings, I'll be ready to rip someones head off at work for just speaking (not even to me) and then the next moment I'm laughing with them. I also cried the other night because my husband went to the bathroom instead of sitting with me to watch wheel of fortune. 😆
@NYTino24 maybe you were just stressed bc you weren’t feeling well during the time. I am sure you obviously know bp can vary, so I bet it will be lower under less stressful times. I have also read progesterone lowers bp, but I am no expert.
I am already having nausea here and there. I usually don’t have morning sickness until midway through week five. I have also not really had an appetite. This is so weird for me. I love to eat, especially pregnant! I read somewhere that morning sickness is worse when your BS is low, so I have been trying to eat a little once I feel it and that has helped a bit. I am really nervous that this is going to be a rough first tri.
Also, took my last pregnancy test ever! That’s so weird, but oddly comforting.

@brookert615 lol! I remember with my first pregnancy, if my husband even opened the refrigerator door, I would gag.
