Hey 
first pregnancy- currently 4 weeks +3 ,... I’m not really sure what to expect - I’ve had like a dull pain lower abdomen for a few days , no sore boobs and more tired than usual.
Probably just paranoid but I don’t have many symptoms yet ...

Congratulations and welcome! Let me know your due date and I'll add you to the list on the front page
It's quite normal for symptoms to come and go in the first few weeks so don't worry! Not only that, everyone's different and every pregnancy is different.

congratulations
I am 5 + 4 and still don’t have many symptoms, it’s different for each person so try not to worry.
My boobs have started to feel sore the past day or so and I’m really tired. But other than a few twinges and feeling sick from hunger a few times there’s not any big symptoms I am feeling yet.

Yay, @Star_girl! 5 weeks! Just think, you're that bit closer to your early scan too
@Gn2020 I think things like nausea sometimes take a while to kick in as it's when the placenta starts to form and take over that everything goes nuts! I remember with my first pregnancy I wasn't nauseous until 6 weeks, and even then I was only sick three times the whole pregnancy. Some people are lucky with mild symptoms. Hope you're one of them! x

The mild cramps do make you worry, sometimes it feels like period cramps.
So I worry about those, but I just assume it’s my body adapting to the situation and the cramps feel similar.
try to not to worry and just enjoy it, easier said than done I know!

Hi Guys.
Going back to talking about the cramps, The last few days I’ve been experiencing mild cramping and like dull aches and pains low down in my groin and in my hips...
Has any else experienced this?
I’ve read that it can be normal, esp with your first as things will be growing and expanding, it’s just such a weird feeling.

Hey @JoJo19. Yeah, all kinds of aches and pains are normal. This time around mine were more like period pains on some days, other days they felt like I had lots of gas. First pregnancy, I remember thinking it was like popcorn popping inside of me haha. It's just our uteruses getting ready to expand and accommodate baby and placenta and everything else in there!
I haven't really had any cramps or aches yesterday or today so far. I'm hoping it's things calming down in there now but it does make you start to worry then for the opposite reason with having a lack of symptoms. God, I hate the first trimester!

that’s a relief. It is such a worrying tone.
no one has ever told me how worrying and stressful TTC and the first trimester is, until we started trying at the end of March I had no idea all the factors that you have to take into account, I had never even heard of the luteal phase or a chemical pregnancy!
I didn’t start using OPK until the 5th cycle of TTC, and that’s when I realised the apps were wrong for me. I have a 25 day cycle so the app said I would ovulate on cycle day 11, I actually ovulate on cycle day 17!!
so only have an 8 day luteal phase, I feel very lucky that I got pregnant on the second time with the OPK’s.
I never knew how complicated it all could be, been interesting finding everything out. but now I just want to skip this step and get to the second trimester!
