bfp last week but no more symptoms

[Anonymous]

bfp and blood test confirmation one week ago. All positive symptoms hit the week prior starting day or so after implantation spotting, got stronger rapidly, then all disappeared this weekend. No bleeding, just... Nothing. Calling dr tomorrow. In the meantme, any thoughts?

There is no need to call your dr. Symptoms will come and go. Hang in there. This why the first trimester can be so difficult.

It will come and go in waves. Awful, I know, but that's how it is. You'll feel good for a few days (which is bad!), then you'll feel bad (which is good!). I assume you had two betas? Trust the beta. "For today I am pregnant" is the infertile woman's mantra during pregnancy.

I found these meditations helpful when I was there - http://www.anjionline.com/pages/PregnancyMeditationDownloads.html

Good luck to you

I'm feeling the exact same way! I got a high beta last week and was feeling extremely bloated, my boobs were sore and enlarged, and I felt a general heaviness in my abdomen. Yesterday, all of a sudden, I didn't really feel any of these things, which has me concerned.

Could this be my body adjusting to the estrogen and progesterone?

I have an u/s next week, so I guess I'll just have to wait it out.

Thank you... I'm so impatient to just know things are 100% OK!

So much for teaching my preschooler patience. I need to re-learn it myself

So, wait, how far along are you?

Symptoms usually start around the 8 week mark. Some women handle the hormone surge better than others so you may be on the milder side of the spectrum.

Symptoms mean nothing OP - don't worry.

I was pregnant with twins and had very few symptoms except for on and off sore breasts. By the end of the 1st tri I would forget I was in public and squeeze myself worried they weren't sore enough. (And indeed some days they hurt and others they were normal non pregnant boobs.)

Try and relax

I know it's tough, OP. But try to relax and enjoy. If you have a child, you will be worrying about the child's well-being constantly-- it doesn't stop when you give birth! So you have to learn to deal.

After all my miscarriages, I know all I can do is cherish the little bean and give it a peaceful home within me, for as long as it lasts.

Thanks for the support, everyone. Hcg tested within normal range (which, as you likely know, is a huge range) on Monday. Retesting tomorrow. Last m/c followed this exact pattern, which is why I'm nervous (but hopeful!!).

be happy you're not sick or super sleepy! Eat lots of healthy food now in case you can't stomach it in a few weeks, and get stuff done (day care visits/waitlists, cleaning out closets, etc.) in case you don't want to do it later. Even if the pregnancy doesn't stick, you'll be glad to have gotten some stuff out of the way.

omg - this was me exactly! Symptoms come and go and it can happen quickly. They're not a good mark of the health of your pregnancy.

I really didn't have any symptoms until 6.5 weeks and then morning sickness hit me like a train. Give a few days, OP, I'm sure it's headed for ya!
