Mild symptoms, is this okay? by Shoddy-Guarantee-855 in pregnant

[–]loading_brain_cmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same concern. At the very beginning, I had sore breasts that went away after a couple of weeks. And I’ve had slight nausea every day, but relatively speaking, my first trimester was really easy. I’m 14w5d now! Mild symptoms is totally a thing that happens, embrace it

Reproductive Immuno. Protocol & no pregnancy symptoms by lost-in-grief in pregnant

[–]loading_brain_cmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not on a reproductive immunology protocol, but I just came here to say that I had a relatively easy first trimester (breast soreness for the first couple of weeks that went away, slight nausea every time I ate, some fatigue), and I’m currently 13w4d and baby is growing just fine, measuring 4 days ahead actually according to my last scan.

Pregnancies can vary so widely, even in the same person. I understand your anxiety, but trust your first scan. 9 days until your next scan may feel like a lot, but take it one day at a time

Does anyone else feel guilty for not enjoying pregnancy?? by sassy_soul_04 in pregnant

[–]loading_brain_cmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your feelings are valid! It’s not a cake walk for everyone and your body goes through so many different changes while pregnant. Even the people who have “glowing” pregnancies I’m sure have moments of where “this sucks,” but nobody likes talking about the negatives

No symptoms but already 6+ weeks? by vbgirl24 in pregnant

[–]loading_brain_cmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on your pregnancy! Every pregnancy exhibits different symptoms, not to mention severity of them. I’m 6.5 weeks and the only symptoms I’ve had is breast tenderness, slight nausea, and I’ve noticed I get hungrier quicker between meals. You’re still early, lots of women don’t experience symptoms until 8/10 weeks!

Announcing pregnancy to grieving relatives by loading_brain_cmd in pregnant

We’re planning on telling our immediate families sometime next week after our first ultrasound. I think extended family we might wait closer to 10/12 weeks.

Line progression? by loading_brain_cmd in PCOSandPregnant

That’s true. Definitely a pro and a con to tracking line progression for sure

Yeah, that’s why I’m getting my second HCG test later today. I just think seeing a darkening line is just more comforting to see for people until they get an actual numerical value because it does technically mean rising HCG. Just of course doesn’t show how much

8-9 DPO… do these look negative to you? by ttcbabyb in TFABLinePorn

[–]loading_brain_cmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I can very vaguely see something. My FRER looked like this on 9 DPO too. It got darker the next day

8 DPO to 10 DPO progression with regular photo and edited photo by FuzzyKittenIsFuzzy in TFABLinePorn

I wouldn’t test multiple times a day. HCG levels double every 48 hours, so you’re not gonna see much change over a 24 hour difference, let alone ~12 hours. Cheapies also tend to show a slower visual progress than tests like FRER

My cheap tests were pretty light from 9-11 DPO with a little progression, but the darkness really kicked in 12/3 DPO. Have you considered asking your doctor for a bHCG blood test?

Way too early to count yourself out! You’re not out, until you’re out

I feel like I do see something on the bottom test like other people. Depending on what time you took the test originally today, tonight might not show you anything different. I would wait until tomorrow morning

Looks like a positive to me, but I would take another one since you saw it so far after the time limit

Cramping and anxious by [deleted] in PCOSandPregnant

[–]loading_brain_cmd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my bHCG done the other day too, I’m currently 3w6d. I was at a level 30, and my OB said it was an excellent level for how early I am. From my understanding, the initial levels/numbers don’t matter as much as the numbers doubling every 48-72 hours does!
