Is anyone having early pregnancy symptoms?

Hey ladies, I am 5w1d today and wondering what kind of symptoms you all are having.  I have moderate ovarian hyperstimulation and am carrying 15 pounds of water weight in my belly but other than that, I'm noticing today I am starting to feel tired.  My boobs were sore and now they don't seem to be as sore.  I am definitely hungry.  That's for sure.  I feel like I want to eat the house.  

Anxious to hear from others due in Aug 09!!!!!!!  It's exciting to be on the baby train!!!!!

So am having all these symptoms but my home test came back negative. I don't know if I have the confidence to go to the hospital for pt. I just don't want to start getting desperate. If I were not having these symptoms i would not be bothered because my marriage is just a few months old. What else do you think can be responsible for the "sharp and sudden pain around the groin, nausea, constant backache, tiredness, lack of appetite and lots of saliva secretion. Please help.

All of a sudden I can't stand the smell of cooked vegetables and have been gipping with it but haven't actually been sick.  My eating habits have definately changed and my sense of smell seems to be really sensitive. My boobs don't really seem sore at all now.

Hope you're all doing well.

Hello....I am sooo tired all the time but for some reason I cannot sleep. I have the sore breasts and only have been sick a couple times. I get nausious in the car though. Also I am not really as hungry as I used to be. I haven't been able to eat a whole meal...I get hungry, eat aliitle and the get hungry in about 2 hours. I eat less but more often in the day. This pregnancy seems soooooo different then my last two....With all that said, I am still very excited about the baby...Good luck to you all

I am 6w5d and having a tough time with nausea - I battle it almost every day....  The more nauseous I feel, the more I can't look at food...  But when I finally do get something in me, I feel so much better.

My boobs are sore, but nothing major.  My fatigue is slowly getting better, but I do end up taking a nap almost every night (or afternoon on the weekends).

I'm about 5 weeks along too, and my bb's are a little sore, but nothing major. Other than that, just peeing a lot and some night cramps. So far so good for me. Congrats to you all as well! :)

Don't worry about not having sore boobs. My soreness went away too. I really don;t have any syptoms excepts the occassional sharp side pains I get when I get up to fast or move around in bed, things like that. Otherwise I would never even know I was pregnant.

Thank you soooooo much for your kind response, you've helped me to feel a whole lot better, the way you've described it is exactly how I'm feeling.

My other worry is before I had really sore boobs and now they're not so sore at all, why the sudden change - Is this normal?!... (I'm nearly 6 weeks pregnant)

There are ligaments that suspend the uterus, or hold it up.  When you move too quickly it will cause sharp pulling pains or aches low and off to the sides.  This can happen up until after the 13th or 14th week when the uterus gets big enough to rest on the pelvic bones.  Until then, it is kind of hanging in there by the suspensory ligaments and sudden movements will hurt pretty bad!  With my first pregnancy I had it from early on up until around 14 weeks from what I remember.  It's totally normal.  And it freaks you out because it happens so quick and is so sharp!  The pain is usually low and off to the side, almost near the groins.  Thought you might like to know!

I love burger king too.  I eat pretty healthy overall.  When I was pregnant with my 3 year old daughter, I gained 50 pounds.  And I didn't eat that much junk food.  I have no idea how they say you should only gain 25-35 pounds.  I gained 50 easily and luckily took it all off plus some.  Fortunately I am slender and I think that's why I gained more.  I'll be curious to see how much weight I gain with this pregnancy and how easy I'll take it off.  I did breast feed my daughter and believe me that does burn the calories!!  I do have such a weak spot for the whopper with cheese.  Reading your post made me want one!  

I am glad you are feeling so good.  It's exciting that you are graduating to an OB.  I think they are doing my ultrasound later because they like to wait until at least 6 weeks.  That's just their policy.  I will be 6w2d when I have mine.  I am pretty confident there is one bean in there based on my numbers.  That's what we are hoping for!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The time does go by slow doesn't it?  Just wait until the third trimester.  Talk about slow!  The last 2 weeks are the worst!  But aren't we blessed to be able to look forward to it!

Thats to bad that they make you wait so long for your ultrasound I had mine at 5wks 5days. I go again on Monday and then I graduate from my RE as long as everything looks good. Hope you are feeling better. For me no symptoms yet, just a bit sluggish/tired. If I concieved naturally I would never even know that I am pregnant. I feel good. I'm eating alot of junk food and sweets but then again I ate horrible before becoming pregnant so I can't tell if theres a change except for now I really don't want any healthy food. Portillos and burger king are among my favorites at this point. I'm going to be a cow before this pregnancy is over. Hopefully I could start to eat better soon. Boy I feel like the time is going so slow I can't wait for each week to pass.

I will be 6 weeks pregnant tomorrow and am experiencing mild nauseau in the evenings, constipation and exhaustion. I sleep for 8 hours and wake up yawning and feeling so tired....also eating more and finding certain food smells disgusting. Now and again, experiencing lower back pain and abdominal pain if I bend quickly and suddenly. My tummy is also feeling bloated and seems to have got slightly bigger - this could be down to the extra food I am eating though. I think I am gassed up too - feel like burping lol. Wishing you all a healthy 9 months.

Hi ladies!  Had my third beta today.  First one was 169, second one was 614, today it was 2100.  So I am so happy.  I was a little worried!  My ultrasound is set for Friday 12/19.  I am thinking I just have one in there even though they put in two.  And that is perfectly fine!  We are hoping for just one healthy baby!  

I have been constipated too, still want to eat the house, and tired quicker in the evenings.  And I know this is gross, but the discharge down there is definitely thicker and different.

Hi, glad you are all doing well.

I'm almost 6 weeks and my first u/s is next Thursday 18th December, 10:00 am (just under a week away and the wait is nearly driving me crazy), I want to know that everything is fine and to see how may embryo's have implanted.

I'm having to wee more often than before and feel tired all the time, my boobs have been very sore but they don't seem to be as bad now. I've had no morning sickness yet!! My eating habits have changed, I can eat really big meals and be full for about half an hour then I'm hungrey again!!

A happy and healthy 9 months to all

I am also 5 weeks.  The first week I had cramping and lower pack aching.  Now I just feel extremely tired all the time.  And like you I am ravenously hungry all the time.  I can eat a huge meal and then like 30 minutes later be hungry again.  Its a pain having to eat all the time but I guess it will make a healthy baby.  Other than that I haven't really had that many symptoms but they say that is normal.  They say every pregnancy is totally different.

Hey,

I am 5 weeks pregnant as well!! Good for you. As far as sypmtoms go lst week I was extremely tired. I could sleep all day and almost did. Sore breasts and a little cramping and some spotting. When I first found out about 2 weeks ago I felt a little dizzy and just not myself. Today I feel normal, breast aren't as sore and I am not too tired. My labs haven't been the best so I am hoping for great knews tomorrow. My count was 27 then 38 then the third time it finally almost tripled to 97. Of course another lab appt tomorrow. I hope it doubles or is much higher, then I can relax a little more and enjoy this.
