I just found out I’m pregnant and measuring between 4-5 weeks. I’ve been having some inconsistent breast tenderness (more tender to touch in later part of day but nothing when I wake up in morning). I feel a little more tired but I also get up most days at 445 for the gym and I have a 2.5 yr old. I’m trying to remember how I felt my first pregnancy b/c I never had any morning sickness then either. I had a miscarriage in December 2017 so I’m worried I’m not having symptoms or the few I’m having are inconsistent and mild. My first blood draw was 271 and I should get my second result today. Please reassure me I have no reason to panic this early!!!

I’ve not had real symptoms until 6-7 weeks....you’re really early still so I wouldn’t worry. I’m sure you’ll be feeling terrible soon
ETA: congratulations!

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Now on to your query of symptoms. With both of my sticky pregnancies, I had very little symptoms before 6 weeks along. With DD, MS hit and that is when I tested only to find I was pregnant. I thought I had the flu! With DS, I found I was pregnant at 3.5 weeks (only because someone's breakfast at a restaurant turned my stomach) but I had no other symptoms until 6.3 weeks when exhaustion and extremely sore breasts kicked in! My point is that each pregnancy is different and each woman's body will react differently to HCG at any given time. Also, it is said female embryos and fetuses exude more HCG than males so MS is more common with girl-pregnancies, albeit, normal with either due to the mother's sensitivity to HCG. It held true for me but who knows how you will manifest symptoms as the pregnancy progresses. You may be one of the lucky ladies who has a successful pregnancy but doesn't have many symptoms... OR, they may hit in full force between 6-9 weeks. 🤷♀️ Keep as positive as you can and wait for your 2nd betas. Best of luck
and I can't wait to see your numbers.

I had no symptoms with DD2 that early. So much so that even though they weren’t planning on doing an ultrasound, I got one just before 8 weeks because I was flying out of town. The only thing I did have was no appetite. It lasted basically the whole pregnancy. I had ZERO breast changes at all, not even tenderness, while with DD1 they got huge. DD1 wasn’t planned and I tested because I connected the dots between the many symptoms I had at 4.5-5 weeks (dates unsure). Every pregnancy is different!

I had zero symptoms with my daughter and obviously that pregnancy turned out fine. I also had zero symptoms with the pregnancy I miscarried. I found myself praying for morning sickness with my third pregnancy just to have some reassurance that everything was okay.
Third (current) pregnancy I had slight nausea but that didn't kick in until 7-8 weeks. It's still so early - you have lots of time to start feeling sick

@Stardust17: with all 3 of my pregnancies I really didn't have symptoms until week 6 and 7. Things didn't even get bad til like week 9.. it's hard to not worry after a MC but I'm sure you're fine
-
I get the panic but odds are everything is fine! I also found my breast tenderness was much worse the first time, so it may be different each time (and it’s super early). Sending you all the sticky vibes!!

Thank you all! I think I’m More worried b/c I initially had breast tenderness but it’s gotten better in last few days. With my first, I wasn’t aware I was pregnant until I was 5 weeks and I really can’t remember how sore I was and I never had morning sickness. So I’m over analyzing EVERYTHING! With my m/c, I assumed all was fine until my 8 week US when I found out I had lost the baby.
Thank you all for the reassurance and hopefully I’ll get my second beta results today!! -
Some good news! My first beta drawn last Thursday evening was 271. My second set drawn on Monday morning came back as 2124! I’m feeling a little bit better. My first ultrasound is scheduled for March 5. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!!

@Stardust17: great news!!

I am so, unbelievably, happy for you!
and I can't wait to see your numbers.
