Breasts not sore yet

[adgal]

So here I am obsessing about every little thing again. 7 weeks today (yeah!!) and so far no real problems, things seem to be good. However, I don't have a lot of pregnancy symptoms.  I get 2 days of "all day all night" nausea, then it goes away, and breasts still aren't sore.  A bit tender off and on, but nothing like I think they should be at this point.  Super tired all the time, but I wonder if a lot of what I am experiencing is the prometrium?  I mean, if this pregnancy wasn't viable, you would think I would have had some sort of problem by now.  More bleeding, or cramping or something. Truth is, most days I don't even feel pregnant yet.  Anyway, I know I am probably being paranoid, but wondered what you all thought.  I hate first trimester!!!  It is so stressful!  Thanks everyone.

Oh yes, my bbs are not sore either and I also worry about that.  So you are definitely not alone.

Good luck on your u/s tomorrow!!  I am looking forward to reading your update.

I'm almost 28 weeks and my bb's still aren't sore so don't worry about it....not everyone has that problem

Well, 8 weeks tomorrow, and still nothing except maybe some slight boob tenderness at night.  I know I shoudn't worry,  but sometimes I just can't help it, especially since I had that last little bleed.  My OB had blood drawn Tues, and I go again today to do the Beta/HCG comparison, so hopefully there will be a nice increase.  Because of the bleeding he is having me come in tomorrow at 4, and I am assuming an u/s?  They didn't say for sure over the phone, but they have the equipment in his office, so I am hoping.  Otherwise, I am not scheduled for the next one until 10 weeks (2 more weeks..ugghh!)  Only 4 more weeks till through first trimester, but the good news is I have never ever made it this far before.  If I do have an u/s tomorrow, and there is a strong heartbeat, I think I will finally relax and start to enjoy this a bit.  Thanks for all the support in my "temporary insanity".  God, you are all going to think I am some super paranoid person...lol.

Hormone surges cause symptoms to fluctuate, so having a couple of days of nausea and the none is fine. As for bbs, mine have been sore from day one, and at 17 1/2 weeks are still so dang sore I can't harldy stand it!!!!

I was so terrified up until about 9-10 weeks about everything going all wrong. I started getting horrible morning sickness at around 7 weeks (and even ended up at hospital for 3 days at 12 weeks) but was still concerned. Once your embie turns into a fetus (9 weeks) your chances are even better, so use that as a milestone if it helps.

The mere fact that you are scared and have fluctuating/surging symptoms is actually a great sign. Hang in there :-)

I am 26 weeks 2 days and by boobs are still NOT sore! Although I'm happy - I used to hate when they got really sore for a few days before I used to get my period. They have grown a whole cup size, but no pain.

You always know just what to say to me.  You are such a good friend.  I keep telling myself be positive, but I guess I am a bit afraid to get my hopes up and have my heart broken again.  I know all is probably fine and I believe you and I will be congratulating each other on our beautiful babies before we know it!  I just have these moments of incredible fear, but the rest of the time I feel very positive about things.

We do not have Memorial Day here, we have Remembrance Day on Nov. 11th.  But last weekend was a long weekend for us (Queen Victoria's birthday).  I hope you have a wonderful long weekend, and thank you again.  Only 2 weeks, 5 days until next u/s!!!

Well you know we are very similar on this journey and its funny when I read your post....I felt the same way around 7 wks....I thought am I attempting to miscarry or am I paranoid.  I was even more paranoid about U/S when I went to those appts.  But you and I both know you are fine. :-) And the 1st trimester is real stressful for alot of people. But for those of us who have suffered a loss it seems a bit more sensitive than most. :-) Enjoy your holiday (do you get Memorial Day in Canada?) .....if not....know  that time is passing by and your baby is growing!!!

Thanks Debbie.  I try so hard to stay positive and remind myself that so far all seems well.  This first trimester can make you a bit crazy...at least it is me.  I am normally a very upbeat, positive person.  But Good Lord, I am terrified.  Prometrium is a progesterone supplement my OB has my on for first trimester.  I think the reason I am so stressed is that my first u/s was just to confirm the pregnancy was intrauterine (which it is), and was at 5W6D.  No heartbeat at that point, which I know is not a big deal, as not everyone gets one that early.  Now I have to wait until June 13th for my 10W to even confirm viability.  I know why he is doing it, and in some ways am glad, as I had one of those pregnancies before where it was always "borderline" viable, and I was in every week having an ultrasound...it was way more stressful that this is.  It ultimately ended in a loss at just before 10W.

You and I are very close together in dates.  June 20th will be 11 weeks for me.  I wish you a nice smooth, stress free, healthy 7 months.  Keep in touch, and thanks for being a voice of reason for me.  As I said, I was kind of having a rough day.

You're so right about trying to keep those negative thoughts out of your head.  I pray every night that the Lord keeps the negative thoughts away for me and it has worked.  My next appointment is June 20th and I'll be 12 weeks.  What is prometrium?  

Try and stay calm and relax and also enjoy!

Oh believe me, I know I am being paranoid. Its just after two losses, sometimes horrible thoughts go through my head.  I just want everything to go well this time.  I am having mild cramping at the sides and I know thats probably stretching, so thats good.  I am staying calm most of the time, and managing to keep those negative thoughts out of my head, but they sometimes creep in and I start to over analyze.  My next app. is June 13th at the 10 week mark.    I also worry that when I do have symptoms, its just the prometrium, as the side effects are similar to pregnancy symptoms.  Some days are just tougher than others I guess, and today was one of them.

Thanks for the input.  I appreciate it.

I must say you're being paranoid.  I'm in the same boat as you.  I'm 7w6d today and had my first appointment with my OB, he did a regular ultrasound (not vaginal) and we still saw the heartbeat - Thank God!  But my symptoms are the same way, they really do come and go, now if they completely stop all together then I would worry.  I had 4 miscarriages and I knew every time I miscarried as soon as I woke up that morning.  My symptoms just completely stopped all together, it was like someone deflated my breast with a pin.  I NEVER had any bleeding or cramping with any of my miscarriages, but they do stay if ALL your symptoms go away you should be concerned and your's have not.  My symptoms just started to pick-up a little more.  I know this is very easy to say, but I think you need to try and relax and take it easy.  Are you having any cramping at all that comes and goes?  My doctor told me as long as I'm cramping it mean my uterus is growing for the baby and it's a good sign, but not all women cramp either.  Try and take it easy and relax.  When do you go to the doctor's again?

All women are different and go through all sorts of different symtoms. I actually didn't feel my boobies sore until I was between 8 and 12 weeks and then it continued for about a couple months after.  Now that I am going on 7 months they haven't started to hurt again at all.  About the only symtom I have right now is this funny taste in my mouth sometimes like a metal taste...YUK!  But I feel thats good for me since I was sick for a whole 3 months.  I really envy the woman that don't get sick at all...lucky them!!!
