I too am just into the 5 week category.. By 1 day.. I have noticed that for the past 4 days my Breast tenderness has pretty much disappeared. I have had none at all for the past two days and then this morning I had no nausea...
I also see a pattern here. :)
I noticed to that I haven't had breast tenderness in 4 days and for 3 days I was unable to swallow my prenatal vitamins.. Finally today (the 4th day) I managed to swallow half of one. I have been taking my vitamins for 2 months now and am thinking that's the cause of my lessened symptoms.
Ladies- Try to remember not to stress. I got pregnant last February with our first only to miscarry in May. Every Pregnancy is different.
I will come back and update everyone whether it be bad or good.
Lets keep this thread going!!!! It's so beneficial!!! ↑
i posted on here february 2007 and i wanted to update this since ppl still have this question....i did end up miscarrying, i found out about a week after i posted this that the babys heart had stopped around the same time i stopped feeling symptoms. i also would like to though say that i got pregnant a month after i had the D&C and I also lost symptoms a couple of times but they would usually come back or change...I now have a beautiful baby girl that was born Dec 11th. So, yes, it is indeed possible that if this happens to you you could be having a miscarriage...however, it also means that you could just be experiencing a normal fluctuation in symptoms and unfortunately the only way of knowing is by ultrasound or HCG blood count. ↑
Margie i am 10w today and the entire time i have been prego my breasts have been so sore that i have difficulty putting and taking off my bra. even the water in the shower hitting them made me wanna cry, and i woke up the other day and they're only mildly tender now. only my nipples are very sore. today as the day goes on they keep getting more and more tender... ↑
Hey Ladies-
Just wanted to come on and say after 4 days my breast started feeling slightly tender last night with my nausea... This morning I woke up to extremely tender breast, that are now later in the day dwindling down again.
I have a Dr. appointment March 14th and will update everybody around then- good or bad. However, keep in mind that symptoms are never a good indicator of a healthy / non-healthy pregnancy... The only definite way to know is HCG count and ultrasounds. As margie said.
P.s. Margie- thank you for updating us and congrats on your little one! ↑
llukenjess- its possible that is just normal fluctuation because when i was pregnant with Anjelica I also remember around 10w my symptoms began to lessen and i freaked out but no worries, it was just the normal hormone change that starts around the end of the first trimester as the placenta begins to take over. I should also mention to everyone before I freak you out about my miscarriage...I had spotting the whole time from the beginning of that pregnancy too so it was more than just symptoms leaving that were a sign, my babies ultrasound also from the beginning always showed him being a couple of weeks behind so I kinda knew something wasn't quite right from the beginning, the symptoms just stopped when the heart stopped beating...but the poor little peanut was sick from the beginning in my case im afraid...dont worry though llukenjess, im sure your baby is ok, you can always call your doctor and they should be able to listen to the heartbeat on a doppler by now just to ease your mind if you get too worried...but around 10 weeks thats pretty normal ↑
Candykins- thanks for the congrats, just wait until you girls have your LOs in your arms its an amazing feeling! Thanks for updating too, thats just how i would be with Anjelica the first trimester, the symptoms would lessen for a few days then be back with a vengeance...I totally just remembered that at 10 weeks I went into my doctors office bawling thinking for sure I was having another miscarriage because I didnt "feel" as pregnant, they sent me into an ultrasound and I saw my little sweetie waving her tiny little nubbin of an arm around saying hi to me and her heartbeat was like 170, so it is true that symptoms are not a great indicator ↑
Margie, Thank you so much for the reassurance. I was kind of getting worried. but didn't want to pysc myself out...phew! I have my us tomorrow so i'll let you know. ↑
Margie so i had my u/s yesterday and everything was fine...saw the baby move and heard the heart beat! 174 bpm....10w2d feel like the time is going so fast! ↑
llukenjess- YaY!!! that is awesome, thank you so much for updating!!! its always great to hear some good news. oh and if you want to know my opinion...i think youre having a girl. i know a lot of people think that its not true about the heartbeat speed, but my mom had 7 kids and was right about the gender of all of them by that. with a quick little thumper like your LO one has, my guess is girl because thats what my little girls was around 10 weeks too. Im so happy you got to see your LO swimmin around in there, isnt that awesome? You will be AMAZED at the difference in the ultrasound by the next one, it will start looking like a baby instead of a little tadpole. enjoy pregnancy, theres so much fun ahead for you!!! ↑
Margie, OH it feels SOOO good to know that everything is going well and the living being inside me is healthy! A girl uh? That's weird cuz my fiance and both my mother and step mother said the same thing....I hope it's a girl!! I"M SO EXCITED! this is my 2nd pregnancy first was a misscarry seems like this one is reaching full term! ↑
My first was miscarriage as well...I started spotting and cramping around 10 weeks and ultrasound showed the heart had stopped beating, I had to wait through the weekend to get a D&C done....heartbreaking beyond words as you know. But the second pregnancy brought me my beautiful Angel (her name is Anjelica but her nickname is Angel). I had some bad scares just like you the first trimester going in crying to the Dr's office so scared that something was wrong, but it was all in my head. Praying and faith got us through and it will get less scary later on...until you get to the end of the second trimester and third trimester where you start the whole worrying again "is she not moving as much today? is everything ok??" haha, the worry is beautiful because its all from such an intense love for another little person :-) You both are going to be fine, I am always around here on these boards so I'll have to keep in touch to see how things are going. I have a connection with women who are getting a second chance with pregnancy after miscarriage like I did. We hold pregnancy so sacred because we know how fragile this process can be. ↑
Hello...I'm so glad I found this....it's definitely reassuring! I'm 5 weeks pregnant with baby number three and I started spotting a bit last night (I was last week as well), and have lost all my breast tenderness, just as of this morning. I went to the doctor for my third blood draw this afternoon to see if my numbers are continuing to rise. I'm not sure if everything will be ok this time or not but it's been great to read everyones responses here and see that I'm not alone. Thanks also Margie for coming back and giving an update!

I just wanted to give an update on my situation posted above. My breast tenderness continued to come and go and then disappeared completely when I got the flu earlier this week. I ended up going for an ultrasound a couple of days ago, and despite still having almost no pregnancy symptoms, we saw a great little heartbeat! I'm about 6 and a half weeks now, and the breast tenderness has come back again. Hopefully everything will continue smoothly....I have another ultrasound in 2 weeks so we'll see then! ↑
i am thankful to be able to read all of your experiences. it reaasures me that i am not the only one reading into the loss of breast tenderness. i am 5 weeks pregnant. i had a missed abortion in the summer which has made me super anxious. just to give y'all some back ground info. 3/20 i went to the ER with lower abdominal pain. i was concern of an ectopic pregancy. needless to say the ER doc was unable to reassure me of my concerns due to the fact that i am pretty early. 3/18 my hcg was 451 and 3/20 they went up to 1600. i had a followup appt with my ob/gyn on 3/25. i had my blood drawn the day prior and they were 6000. on 3/25 my ob did an u/s and was unable to determine if there was a true gesational sac in my uterus due to the fact that i was barely into my 5th week. i actually thought i was 5 1/2 weeks. anyhow i have a f/u the 4/2. last night i had a dream that i miscarried and woke up with no breast tenderness. since 3/24 my breast soreness was declining but today i didn't feel anything. as far as my other symptoms they subsided as well. i was having bad heart burn, gagging with brushing my teeth but no nausea and extreme thirst. i am going nuts over here and i am drivng my husband nuts as well due to me worrying ALL THE TIME! it's crazy how i pray for the symptoms of pregnancy, i just want some physical reassurance that my little embryo is growing how it needs to be. ↑
Jtray -
You sound exactly like me about a week and a half ago. I was in full blown panic mode due to the loss of tenderness that had been so apparent earlier. I too had miscarried recently and just felt doomed. Give it a few days and my guess is that it will come back a bit and that you will have new symptoms, headaches, full blown nausea etc. I was so frustrated that the symptoms weren't there and now I'm frustrated that they are! =) This site is very good for answering questions and the number of women with the same concern will hopefully make you at least a bit more reassured. Hand in there! ↑
thanks for your words of encouragement, hoping! i forgot to mention i took another pregnancy test and the pink line wasn't as dark as it was last week. wednesday is my docs appt, i will keep u posted ↑
I've come back to give another update. After my last appointment the breast tenderness came back, along with other symptoms, and they were all pretty strong. Then again, a few days ago, they subsided quite a bit, but I wasn't as worried this time knowing that the symptoms really do come and go. Today I went in for my 8 week ultrasound, and once again, everything was just fine, nice heartbeat and all. So I guess you can really have symptoms that come and go, and still be ok!
I will be 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I woke up this morning and my previously sore and heavy breasts felt completely normal & lighter. My bloating and constipation disappeared too. I am in a panic. I have had two, back-to-back early miscarriages at about 4.5 weeks, so I'm extremely nervous this time around.
The positive signs are that I have a strong dark line on the 8 pregnancy tests I've taken so far, (I take one a day to see if the line is fading) and I had implantation bleeding around the day my period was due. I did not have those signs with the previous miscarriages.
I am praying for symptoms too. This would be our first child after trying for almost two years. I have an appointment for an early ultrasound next week and will update this forum on the outcome.
These posts have (slightly) put my mind at ease. Thank YOU ALL! Keep posting! ↑
Well, I have a sad update. As I suspected, my sudden loss of symptoms was a warning sign that I was losing the pregnancy. I'm 34 years old, no children, and this is the third time I've had a miscarriage before the 5th week. The loss of symptoms was the first sign yesterday, and then this morning, I had some spotting and dull aching in my lower back. This forum gave me hope, but unfortunately in this case, it was false hope. Good luck to all of you. ↑
I am 4 weeks tomorrow. We have been TTC for 8 months. For about 5 days I've had tender breasts (swelling and sore on the sides), back aches, abdominal pain (like side aches), spaciness (a little tired, too), yesterday I had frequent urination and even a little nausea and loss of appetite. Today I lost the breast tenderness and have mild cramps like maybe AF is coming. I was going to take a HPT on Saturday, but I feel like she might rear her ugly head before then. This exact thing happened to me 5 months ago, the day before Valentine's Day, before I ever had a chance to take the HPT and I'm worried it's happening again. I'll keep you informed in a few days... ↑
it is unfortunate that this can either be a sign of miscarriage or a totally normal fluctuation of hormones....the only way of knowing is blood test and/or ultrasound depending on how far along you are. like i had posted previously i had this happen to me before once that ended in miscarriage at 10 weeks...the other time i also lost symptoms around 10 weeks, freaked out, went to the doctor and turned out i was fine and they came back a few days later and i carried to term. crazygirl, im so sorry for your loss. heatherSD-good luck and baby dust to you!!! come back and update ↑
So...I"M PREGGERS!!! I had some cramping for 3 days after I lost my breast tenderness, but still no period. So on Saturday I took an HPT and voila! Positive. The breast tenderness came back a few days later, but much lighter and more on the nipples and not the swelling on the sides like before. The cramping has subsided, but other symptoms are arousing. Upset stomach and a little more sleepy, but that could be because I cut out coffee. Thanks for the baby dust Margie. ↑
heatherSD...CONGRATULATIONS!!! Thats awsesome, I'm so happy that you have a happy outcome, thank you so much for updating..god bless you and your baby! ↑
