New here and a little panicked!

Hey everyone. I've never been on a message board before so I'm a little unsure of how this all works.

I am 7 weeks pregnant today! I knew I was pregnant just before 4 weeks because I was moody, constantly peeing, having crazy hunger pain and tender nipples. My doctor did a blood test at 4 weeks, 2 days and my hcg level was 815. I had an ultra sound at 5 weeks 3 days and everything was great.

However, right at 5 weeks and 6 days all my symptoms just disappeared. I don't have an u/s for 3 more days and I'm terrified something happened. I have felt completely back to my normal self (with the exception of some major gas, but I'm not constipated at all, sorry tmi!) for the past week and a half. Is this normal? I heard symptoms were suppose to get worse not better. Is there any way to see if I'm still pregnant before my u/s? I'm so nervous and this 3 day wait might just kill me!

I was exactly the same. The minute I hit 5w all my symptoms began fading. I have been reassured on this forum that it's perfectly normal for this to happen. And that the symptoms will return a few days/weeks later. I'm now 6w2d and I'm starting to feel sick all the time. My boobs are also becoming more sore again. Stop worrying and start looking forward to your u/s. x

I'm exactly the same. I'm 7 weeks on Tuesday and in week 5 I was exhausted and had sore boobs. This week I'm not tired and have no real symptoms anymore. Feels very different to first pregnancy. I'm hoping the symptoms just come and go...

This is very normal hun, this happened to me with my second. I had several symptoms at the beginning then around 7 1/2 weeks I felt wonderful. I thought that was bad, but in fact it was a good thing. Just means your body is getting used to the HCG levels! No need to be scared!

I'm 6 weeks, and few days ago my breast tenderness and digestive issues almost completely disappeared. It even seemed like my breasts shrank, and today, I wake up the tenderness is back and they feel like balloons again.

And I had horrible reflux after lunch.

I know it's difficult, but try to relax a bit. Our bodies are changing a lot, so it makes since our symptoms would too.

I had the same thing. Honestly my symptoms were mild to begin with no ms or nausea, then at 6 weeks gas and constipation got better. 8 weeks bbs soreness stopped and 9 weeks fatigue improved. I don't feel pregnant at all but we know the baby's fine, last u/s was at 8 wks and at home doppler has helped with my anxiety a TON! Doc said I was just one of those lucky few, so most likely you are too. It's definitely unnerving tho!

I'm constantly symptom checking, terrified that they'll go away and my baby will have died. But during my MC (happened at 6w, baby was dead since 4w5d), my symptoms didn't go away after for several weeks. It was like a cruel joke.

This time round, at 6w2d, I have the huge sore breasts, mild uterine cramps, backache, headaches, and bloating like a MoFo. My CM is creamy/watery, and I am exhausted all the time. These symptoms are not constant (cept the boobs and CM), but they happen random times during the day. Sometimes I don't get some of them every day. So don't worry. Our bodies do strange things during pregnancy.

Only thing that still bothers me is that my cervix doesn't seem closed every time I check. I hope that's not a sign of impending MC!
