Early Pregnancy - Symptoms Coming & Going

[suzhan]

I'm 5 weeks now and probably overly worried about whether everything's going okay.

One of the most confusing things has been the symptoms. Some days, I feel exhausted and fatigued, other days I feel just fine. Some days, I've had nausea and other days none at all. Then, there's the soreness/tenderness of the 'bbs' - some days it hurts just to walk around and other days they're only a little tender to the touch. Cramping is another wierd thing - I don't get too many cramps any more (sometimes some wierd tugs or pulls when I stand up) but occassionally I've gotten cramps that almost feel like AF coming on. I know I'm really early in the pregnancy, but should the symptoms be coming and going so much? Did any of you other ladies who are farther along experience this?

I don't have my first scan until 12/27 and my hcg was last week (46 9dp3dt & 127 11dp3dt). I'd appreciate any reassurance.

Thanks so much,

Thanks so much, Justine - I really do appreciate your post! I don't know if I can move it up - I'd really like to but I'd heard they want to wait until week 7 to be sure they can see the heart beat. Do you know if you can see a heartbeat earlier? I know I should probably be grateful that I'm not sick every day, but in a really wierd way, I guess I'd feel beter if they symptoms were more consistent - it helps to actually feel pregnant and is reassuring.

Thanks again, it was sweet of you to reply.

Thanks so much, maybe I'll call tomorrow and see if they can bump up the first scan to next Friday - I'd be 6 weeks 5 days - you'd think that would be close enough! Thanks again.
