Symptom Check

Ok ladies.  I'd like to compare symptoms.  This is my 3rd pregnancy, but the last one was over 2 years ago and ended in a miscarriage at 6weeks...my first was with my DD 4 years ago, so I can hardly remember what this feels like.  I just remember being EXHAUSTED with her (that was my first cue to take a test).  This time around since we've been TTC over 2 years, of course I pay attention to every little symptom.

I just got my BFP today (12dpIUI) and my only real symptom is tender breasts.  On 7&8 dpIUI i was once again EXHAUSTED (which made me hopeful for the first time in forever that I was pregnant) but the last 3 days I've been good energy wise.  Hoping that isn't a bad sign.

Anyway, I just wanted to see how everyones symptoms have been progressing.

Exhaustion has been the main symptom so far (husband thinks it's impossible for something so small to make me so tired... Boy is he wrong!). Sounds like a lot of you arr having it too  im just so tired i can barely move!

No morning sickness yet and am crossing my fingers that it lasts!  I got really sick right after I found out so all those symptoms - head cold, cough, congestion, aches - kind of ran in to pregnancy symptoms for awhile. I think it's interesting to read how many of you have gotten sick in your first few weeks too!  Guess its the weakened immune system or something. My back has also been sore, which makes me worry about what it's going to be like down the road, and ive had a dull achy feeling in the general vicinity of my cervix (kind of weird, I know, but it's the same feeling I usually get on the first day or two of my period).

I have been having symptoms but most have went away now, All i really feel at this point is tired all the time, my breast are not so swollen anymore but only hurt a little if at all. I wish I was feeling more, I'm hoping I will start feeling more since i'm 6wks today.

My first pregnancy I had no symptoms other than sore breasts and exhaustion. This one however...oi. I am nauseous all the time and have to force myself to eat to feel better. I am throwing up sporadically throughout the day and night. My breasts are sore but I am also still nursing our 13 month old...

You ladies are having a rough time of it! It makes me feel a little guilty, to be honest. I have days of utter exhaustion (and I will sleep, sleep, sleep!), but otherwise I am good. I attribute this in part to my wierd habit of waking around 3 AM and not going back to sIeep, so it's sort of a cycle which fortunately seems to coincide with the weekends. If I let myself get hungry I will get nauseous, but otherwise I am good (except for one day I was nauseous all day and I really disliked that!). I can eat all the usual stuff. I do miss my evening glass of wine though! (Oh well, small price to pay). I had early cramping, but not so much anymore (I am 7 weeks). My breasts were wicked sore when I went through IVF, now I feel them but I wouldn't call it painful... they are just bigger and feel full  (yeah!). I have abdominal bloating, so one minute I have a sizable baby bump, the next it's virtually undetectable to anyone but me or my husband. This whole experience is a trip! I jokingly say an alien has taken over my body... which isn't untrue at all, I guess. Well, actually two have! I hope everyone gets to feeling better soon! It helps to read everyone's symptoms to remind me it isn't all in my head, this stuff is normal and I am not alone!

I just found out I am pregnant with #3. I have one DD who is 6yrs old, and my last pregnancy also ended at 6 wks back in Feb. Well I found out on 4/13, I noticed that I had gained a few pounds, so I knew something was up. I had pretty much given up for this month since I tested on 4/5 and had a bfn. What I did notice different was a lot of heartburn which is by the way, very rare for me. That is why I tested. I find myself very exhausted in the afternoons, also have some breast tenderness, and a little cramping that usually goes away after a nap.

My EDD is 12/21...i'm just 4 wks 3 days along...today i'm feeling icky though.  Boobs are still sore (not horrible by any means), mild tenderness.  I see a pattern though...they are less sore when I wake up and get worse during the day.  Only painful if they get squished (like when my DD jumps on me lol).  Today is the first day I am thinking...hmmm is this morning sickness?  i'm just feeling yucky all around so we will see.

I think I have the latest EDD of the bunch...so I guess it's not a surprise I just don't have many symptoms.  The bbs are still mildly sore, and I do have the occassional cramp.  Otherwise, really nada.  that is why it is still surreal I'm pg because I just don't feel it!  I'm sure it will kick in soon though...

Compared to how some of you are feeling I feel great.  There's this slight gagging that makes me feel like I might puke but it doesn't get very strong and I'm not actually nauseous.  I'm finding it hard to eat too.  Absolutely nothing sounds good.  I think this is what it feel like to be starting to get the flu, rofl!!  Of course I don't get the flu since I have some kind of odd immune system (I ALWAYS sleep it off, almost never actually feel the being sick part).  Its not exactly tired, just run down and disinterested in life.

you just explained my week to the "T" ! Waking up around 4-5am and not being able to sleep...but im always so tired. I have had the same type of cramps since i found out i was pregnant...with also sharp pains joining in at times, which i found out is your uterus streching and making room for the baby, so thats a relief that its normal :))
It seems like if i dont eat every 2-3 hours i will start gagging and feeling really pukey.
It's like i better not even let myself get the least bit hungry or i will pay for it ! And i cant eat alot when i eat...just a little, if i eat a normal portion size then i feel sick like i ate too much even though it really isnt much.
I cried off and on all day yesterday...once was because the dishes were piled up and i got sick of doing them for the 100th time in a day...hubby felt so bad he cleaned the whole house, and hasnt left a dish since LOL.

I started with cramping, tired and sore breast on and off. Week five the gagging and dryheaving set in along with boobs sore everyday. Now at 7 weeks I threw up for the 1st time...well, first 3 times this morning!! Morning sickness seems to be everyother day and in the morning or late afternoon...does m/s normally follow a pattern?

morning sickness has officially set in. My OB gave me reglan to take before I eat and phenergan to take when I get nauseated. So far, it's helped tremendously. And I'm getting a cold or something, so I have to go get some benadryl later. My boobs are more sore today, and I'm having lower back cramps. Other than that, I'm doing pretty good. I have my first ultrasound in 2 weeks!

i have alot of sharp shooting cramps off and on throughout the day pretty much everyday since my BFP. I asked the RE & she said it is very normal, it is your uterus streching. the ligaments that support the uterus will strech and expand causing cramps. Mine are usually if i sneeze...go from sitting to standing, or if i am laying in bed and go to roll on my side...then i get like a sharp pain for about 30 seconds ...sometimes lasts a few minutes.
As long as it isnt severe...then no need to worry :) i also did heck of alot of googling about it just to make sure because this is my first pregnancy so every symptom i get or dont get it worries me!

I've been really sick all weekend so pregnancy symptoms have melted into just being sick. I feel better today, just weak.
I've been cramping and bloating since I found out, so far no nausea  and I can't tell yet if I'm tired because of being sick. I haven't craved anything yet but I used to eat a boiled egg about 3 or 4 times a week for breakfast and now I can't eat the yolks!
I've had cramping pretty bad last night and today really low, no spotting though. Anyone else notice cramping again? I had it all the time at first and it subsided and now it's back again. It's a little concerning.

I get sleepy in the morning and breast tenderness in the evening.  I think I might have a touch of morning sickness now too.  I agree with 1angelbabyM, I also have a crazy thirst and carry a 1 liter water bottle everywhere I go.  I was having some insomnia at first but I'm doing much better.  I don't know if it really counts but my left breast has started to grow, lol.  The right one... not so much.

I'm with jennlaurin, I get so sleepy in the early evening and have been going to bed around 8:30ish!!  I'm starting to get more nauseated if I don't eat something like every hour...even if it is just a small piece of fruit.  Oh, speaking of fruit, most of it tastes funny to me now!!  I took a bite of a banana for breakfast this morning and about gaged.  I had to thow the banana away!!  I still have some on and off cramping and a little extra gas, lol!!  My bbs are pretty sore most of the time; however, sometimes they are a little less sore than others.  I also have an unquenchable thirst!!  That is not fun when you potty breaks have already increased for the pregnancy and now I have to potty even more because I drink so much water!!  I have to carry a water bottle (one that is reuseable that goes on a bike) with me all the time and I have already gone through 1.5 of those just this morning!
