No Real Symptoms Yet

After being 5 days late, I got my BFP yesterday morning with an EPT, and then again last night when I re-tested with a FRER. Since it's the weekend I haven't been able to make an appointment with my OBGYN yet. I have had a lot of trouble with fertility in the past (recurrent miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy) and I'm super worried this time around. Every time I've been pregnant my breasts have always been the first indicator. They swell up, get firm, and are tender even before I miss a period. That did not happen this time. They're no different than any other day. When I miscarried they would "deflate" and go back to normal. So I'm really worried that this lack of swollen/tender breasts is an indication that the baby isn't going to stick. I did have a change in CM that I noticed during my frequent trips to the bathroom over the past few days. That was one of the things that made me think I should definitely take a test and that this wasn't just an irregular cycle. But even that isn't what it was yesterday. And I had to wait a long time after buying the FRER to have to pee, which was strange given how much I've been going the other days. Honestly, the closest thing I feel like I have to a pregnancy symptom is intermittent nausea. It comes and goes and is very mild. In the past I have had that morning sickness that lasts all day and night and just won't let up. This is all so new so it scares me.

Is this normal to not really have any symptoms even though I've had them for past pregnancies? I'm really worried that this is a sign of another impending miscarriage. Even when I told my bf the news he barely even reacted because of my history and the fact that I'm not even acting pregnant. I don't want to over-stress about it, but I can't help but worry. The excitement has died down at this point and now all I can feel is fear of losing this baby too. Can you please share your experiences with me if you had little to no symptoms (especially the breasts one) and still had or are having a healthy pregnancy. I just need to ease my mind a bit.

Pal is such a worrying time. With every pregnancy I have had I have had morning sickness and tender boobs. The only time that stops is when I have had a mmc, then I lose my symptoms in the days leading up to the actual mc. That is up until this pregnancy! I had no sickness whatsoever, no tender boobs, no needing extra trips to the toilet, nothing. I was convinced that this pregnancy was doomed and was constantly waiting for it to go wrong. Checking every time I went to the bathroom. I couldn't believe it when I saw my baby with a hb on an early scan, but still had no symptoms and still waited for it to go wrong. Then at our 12 week scan I saw the most active baby I have ever seen on a screen, lol. He gave the tech the run around and had me moving on my side and back trying to get him in a position to measure him. All I could do was laugh, I was so happy! That scan helped me relax and it finally started to sink in that I was pregnant. I only started to feel pregnant when I started showing and feeling him wriggle. So, it can happen. Everything can seem doomed when it's really fine. I really hope this helps a little bit. Pal is the hardest thing and I wish you all the sticky dust there is. X

With my son I had no pregnancy symptoms at all. Besides him kicking at around 20 weeks I really wouldn't know I was pregnant.
With my first miscarriage I had nothing, but I didn't feel pregnant at the time, something in my gut was telling me something was wrong as I felt pregnant with my son.
My daughter I had MS for about a week and only mild after I ate.
With my 2nd miscarriage I had terrible morning sickness and felt terrible for weeks! It wasn't until the start of the 2nd trimester I felt better.

Also your really early most symptoms start at around 6 weeks, so give it a bit longer before panicking. but then it could be perfectly normal.
