Hi everyone! I am about a day shy of 9 weeks pregnant right now. We have had a total of 5 miscarriages. The last miscarriage I had no symptoms we just went in for a 3rd ultrasound and its little heard had stopped. The doctor believes that i have a clotting issue when I am pregnant and now has me on daily blood thinner shots and other meds to help me continue with this pregnancy, I started these at the first positve test. I had a ultrasound 2 weeks ago I was exactly 7 weeks and we had a very strong heartbeat of 136. My concern is that some of my symptoms seem to be fading a bit. My breasts are not as sore as they were, they are sore, but not as bad. I am having some nausea but it is very minor, I am still extremely tired and peeing all the time, but everything seems kind of not as intense. I know that symptoms do ease up a bit the farther along you get in the 1st trimester, and maybe I am worrying over nothing. But after 5 miscarriages its so hard not too. I have had no spotting at all since becoming pregnant and have had a little bit of pain on my right side, but they did see a cyst on my right ovary during the ultrasound and its nothing I need to worry about they said. Anyone have any words of wisdom? I would love something to help me understand if this is normal or not...Thank you!!

Oh Hun, I'm sorry for your losses. I pray this pregnancy goes well for you though. IT seems that the doctors have pin pointed what the cause could have been, and you're in good hands. The pregnancy symptoms, especially with the sore bbs, comes and goes. One day they'll feel full and sore, the next day...nothing. The symptoms will taper off even more in the next few weeks, so try not to worry too much. We're all here for support. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and have a happy and healthy 9 months!!!

I have some pain on my right and left side sometimes. very minor it feels like when you're a kid and you get growing pains in your shins or whatever. and some days i feel engergized and no nuasea, but other days i feel VERY tired like i can barely keep my eyes open and i feel so sick that i feel like i drank myself into ablivian the night before...LOL sysmptoms will come and go. when is your next visit?

I almost the same question last week (I was about 8 weeks) and the wonderful ladies on here tolld me that around 9 weeks the placenta starts to take over and the symptoms fade but come back around 11-13 weeks!!
