Symptom Check

[jilianporter]

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.

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 have tender breasts and sore nipples, I pee a lot, I'm not sleeping well and I wake up super early like around 4-7am and can't go back to sleep even though I'm exhasuted! I also have on and off period like cramps and a diff type of cramp..I have to eat small meals or I feel sick. But no morning sickness yet..thats about it! Oh and really really moody... I'm happy one minute and mad at something stupid the next. with nooo patience...hehe

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!
