Ive read many stories on here on symptoms coming and going! Im very early myself and some days I have very sore breasts, and others is a lot less. Noticed it has a lot to do with what Ive done that day, too. Sounds like you are getting early and often blood draws; dont panic just yet, luv!

Hi, I've had two mmcs have a little boy and I'm now 12 weeks with my 4th pregnancy and I can say symptoms really do come and go and I wouldn't use that as a sign of how things are as with my mmcs hearts stopped at 8 weeks and I still had symptoms up to 12 weeks my healthy pregnancies were the same so its not a good indicator sorry for rambling just wanted to be positive for you.. Good luck

I've never had a pregnancy that had consistent symptoms so I quit symptom spotting. It just was too stressful. Worry can mask your symptoms quite a bit too so try and relax as best you can. I know it's scary (believe me I know. I had every m/c sign under the sun with this baby but I'm nearly 21 weeks now and all is well.) but symptoms disappearing isn't necessarily a sign that all isn't well.

My emotions are all over the place my HCG level is at 32650 which is really high for this early on I had my first scan last week alL that was seen was a sack and some blood not related to the sack this week I had my second scan my doctor found the first scan that had grown a centimeter and a second smaller sack which he says is looking like twins but he says it's still too early and that the other baby may catch up because clearly is growing because it wasn't there last week and it's not that much smaller. The biggest issue is that we can't track when my pregnancy actually happen. He doesn't want me to freak but I can't help it there was nothing in either one and I've read that you should be able to see something when your levels are so high he says that my levels are duplicating the way that they should and since we don't know when I got pregnant it could be normal. I have another scan after tomorrow which was actually supposed to be next week and I don't know what to think I've been racking my head and I can't figure it out

Hang in there. At five weeks, even with that high of an hCG level, you aren't going to see anything other than the gestational sac because bubs (or bubbies) are just too too tiny to see. As long as there is growth, there's hope and if your doctor is thinking all is well, then I'd go along with it. And with twins, there is usually a much higher hCG level than with a singleton pregnancy so I wouldn't worry about the levels. I'm sure if you were to have another u/s next week, you'd see even more. At this point, even a day can make a huge difference.

As for figuring out when you got pregnant, I'm assuming from your ticker that you got pregnant right after a miscarriage and didn't get a period first? If so, the exact same thing happened to me this time round. M/C in early Oct, BFP 5 weeks later. My former dr put me at 5 weeks but I knew (based on opks) that I was more like 4 weeks. My first ultrasound was 7 weeks after my miscarriage but baby measured 6 weeks (which coincided with my pos opk). The thinking is that my hCG dropped back to 0 around a week post-miscarriage and then I ovulated 2 weeks after that. It did add to my stress with the first tri to know I was pregnant again so soon after back-to-back m/c (I had a loss in July as well) but despite it all, I'm 21 weeks now and baby is fine.

I know it's hard to be in limbo right now but try to relax as best you can. Right now you are pregnant, all looks good, and you are going to have twins! So just breathe and pamper yourself a bit.

I don't agree with the "hcg is this high so you should see this" at all. I had high hcg with my son's pregnancy and all they saw was a sac measuring 5 weeks. The timing of the scan is just as important as the hcg. If there are twins that could explain the high hcg (in my son's pregnancy that ended up being the case though I sadly lost the twin).

It is hard to relax after having several losses in a row but you need to force yourself to look at the positives otherwise you can drive yourself crazy. Right now everything looks like it is going in a good direction. Take it one step at a time. Looking too far ahead will simply overwhelm you. In the beginning of this pregnancy I celebrated every day I made it through. And I'm still just taking it one week at a time.

Just got my scan I'm measuring 6 weeks 6 days baby had a visible heart beat and is doing very well second baby was not found next week I will have another scan if the second baby isn't found my doctor said my body will take care of it and it won't do any harm it the thriving baby I'm so excited and happy tomorrow is week seven this is wear things go off course for me but this baby is doing so well and I'm feeling super pregnant so I have all the faith and hope that this one will be okay
