Hi all
I am just writing this because this is what I was searching for 2 months ago and then a week ago.
Basically, what happened was, following 2 MCs (2012 and 2013), we finally fell pregnant again. Obviously we were pretty terrified. But I had decent symptoms. Then at around 6.5 weeks pregnant, my symptoms totally reduced - boobs were normal size, etc. I was panicking about a missed MC. 10 days later, symptoms came back.
That is lesson one: symptoms fluctuate in the first 10 weeks and sometimes seem to disappear, but it doesn't mean there's a problem. Some websites say they increase when there is a massive surge of hormones, and decrease as the body adjusts.
At 11 weeks, my symptoms all but disappeared (aside from some fatigue, though I think that was a bit linked to worry). Had my scan 4 days later, and everything was PERFECT.
Lesson two: doctor told me that symptoms ease around week 10 when the placenta takes over and HCG starts fallling a bit.
Now at the 13 week point, I woke up and the fatigue was gone. In fact, I feel back to pre-pregnancy normality - full of energy, able to exercise, stomach no longer bloated - cue panic number three!
Lesson three: went for a private reassurance scan, all perfect.
Lesson three: Doctor said it means NOTHING if you feel completely normal, except you're lucky!
I'm now 13.5 weeks and all is looking great. Keep in mind, when I had my missed MC (it stopped growing at 5.5 weeks), I still had full blown symptoms as 10 weeks - so even more proof no symptoms doesn't mean there is a problem and the other way around.
Just sharing this in the hope that it will reassure someone because I know how scary it can be.
Maybe other ladies can add their stories as well where symptoms disappear and nothing goes wrong.

No sore boobs, no weird taste in my mouth and definitely no morning sickness. I was just extremely lucky and made all those poor pregnant women suffering from MS jealous
Why don't you check out the PARL thread (pregnant after recurrent losses), lots of lovely ladies there
It's been a life saver for me!!
