Feeling pregnant....

[Desperatelyseekingmotherhood]

I think I'm about 5 weeks pregnant. Had frozen donor embryo's, they were implanted on day 3 of embryo's life on the 9th November. I did a home pregnancy test which was positive. Had my first HCG test on the 23rd November, which was 590 and my second HCG on the 25th which was 1700. I'm sure these counts seema little high according to a table I've seen of normal levels. Can anyone advise me on this. Also, I'm waiting to start feeling sick, so far I just feel a bit off my food and get waves of nausea occasionally, but haven't been sick yet. I keep telling myself there must be a mistake and I'm not pregnant, or worry I'm going to lose it every time I get period pains.

They say that the sicker you are the healthier the pregnancy. Can anyone advise?

Your levels are not high...5 week hormones can be as high as 7340. However, as long as your levels continue to rise as they should, you shouldn't worry, even if you have no sickness at all. I am pregnant with number 2 and the only ms I ever felt was for about 3 days with number 1 and I only threw up once, ever. Good luck and happy pregnancy!!!

i had two children with absolutely no sickness at all, with my current (5w 3d) i feel more nausea but haven't actually gotten sick.  the period pains could be because your ligaments are stretching, i have those too.  i wouldn't worry about anything because your HCG levels are rising.

I haven't been sick at all. I'm 14 weeks today and have had a perfectly healthy pregnancy so far.
