Pregnant but no symptoms?

Posted in Parenting / Having a Baby / Conceiving

Is it possible to be pregnant and have absolutely no symptoms? Some women think the answer may be yes!

I post on the Pre-TTC board a lot, and have lurked several times this week here now that I'm in my first two week wait (2WW). Ok, so I've been really hoping for some symptoms, but I haven't really had any that I could definitely say are related to pregnancy. Today I think my boobs are a bit bigger, but that happens with aunt flo too. I'm about 11 days past ovulation (DPO) and worried that if I have no symptoms then I'm not pregnant. Is it possible to not have strong symptoms and still be pregnant? Be honest. Thanks so much! - Mo

I actually on the Preparing to TTC board a lot (and post every so often), so I have seen you around. It's my first 2WW also - crazy, isn't it? Anyway, in response to your question, I think it is very common to have no symptoms during the 2WW. Think of all those people out there who get pregnant by accident and have no idea until they have missed one (or sometimes two!) periods. Supposedly you typically don't see symptoms until after implantation, and since you are 11 (DPO), you may not have enough HCG built up in your system to experience symptoms yet. Either way, I definitely don't think that just because you are not feeling symptoms means that you are out of the running this cycle! It's not over until your period shows! When do you plan to test? - Julie

Hi! I posted this a week or so ago, but I didnt have a single symptom when I got pregnant with my son. I had thought we missed the window that month (I ovulated late on cd 21) and the only reason I tested when I did is because my temp shot way up at 14 days past ovulation (DPO). It took 30 minutes but I got my positive. I think once I found out I was pregnant, I started noticing the round ligament pain more. My boobs never got really big or sensitive, my morning sickness didnt start until after my first doctors appointment, and I was never one of those that had to pee ALL THE TIME. I didnt have to get up at night until 31 weeks, so I lacked alot of typical symtpoms and my son is living proof! Good luck and can't wait to hear your update. BTW, your chart looks pretty good! - Christine

Oh thanks so much Christine! I definitely needed to hear that. Very encouraging! I'm just hoping we timed the deed right. Fertility Friend says I ovulated on the 12th, but I think it was more like the 13th. It's just that missed temperature really has everyhting confused I think. I'm hoping that's the case because I would have liked to have gotten in one more deed BEFORE ovulation. We did the deed around noon on the 12th. Then late at night the next day. And then once again. Hope that did it. I'll let you know on Saturday. Thanks again! - Mo

Hey Mo! I just got a positive last Friday and I wanted to let you know that I had absolutely NO pregnancy symptoms and to this date have only had a few. For me, it just felt exactly like it does when AF is on her way. Good luck! - Megan

They are right, a lot of people don't have symptoms for a long time. The first one they get is no no period. I want to tell you too that your chart looks great. It looks like you are 3 days past a possible implantation dip. Testing on Sunday is good timing. Here is some babydust your way! I hope you get that positive test! - Mekhaela

Hello! Welcome to your first 2WW! It's a crazy ride, lemme tell ya! Yes, it is possible to not have symptoms and be pregnant. I hope you are! In case you aren't, though, try not to get discouraged. Healthy couples who are doing everything perfectly have only a 20% of conceiving each month, so it can take a few months sometimes. However, it is equally possible to hit a home run your first try! Good luck! - Melissa

i have been having pain in my breast for the past the month before my menstrual and as long as ive be getting my menstrual I havent had pain in my breast... Could i be pregnant or my body is changing...... Some stomach cramps and bloating but thats about all......

I had a miscarriage in Dec'11,it was so horrible.I am trying again but I get no signs of ovulating.Very confusing.I am now 1 day late with my period.But last month I was 4 days late and then got my period.What's different this month I have breast tenderness,heartburn and constipation.Can I be ,I hope so.Is that signs or is it my body telling me I'm getting my period.If I am then this will be my 4th pregnancy.Advice please ladies.

I am 11 dpo and I'm wondering should I test now mild cramping every day and bloating on and off please help .

I hope I am pregnant I haven't had any signs I just had sex on my most fertile days but my period is due in 3 days and I just hope it doesn't come on, well I will keep u all updated...baby dust to all.

I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. I have had 2 miscarriages about 5 years ago, and have not gotten pregnant until now. I have had 2 blood test and both were positive. At first I had sore breasts, mild cramps and fatigue, but now I don't feel any signs. Except my taste buds are crazy. I have an appointment March 26, so I will be a nervous wreck until then.

Hello people don't worry yes its possible that you could be pregnant without symptoms,i was pregnant in 2011/05 and had absolutely no sign until i began to bleed heavily went to see a doctor who said that its a miscarriage.now i have tried once more and am two months pregnant no sign no nothing am so the same as always.good luck to you all

My fiance and I have been trying for months. He had testicular cancer several yrs ago and the Drs said he had a 50/50 chance of having kids. I always start my period right on time and this month i am a week late and began spotting 6 days after Ovulation. I haven't had any signs or symptoms so I hope and pray that the spotting and missed period is my big sign...especially since we have been trying to plan:)

Well, am 3 days past my AF and apart from my boobs being bigger, I aint really feeling any other pregnancy symptoms. Could I be pregnant? I and my husband have been trying for a baby for some months now and I really can't take anymore negative results. Anyone that's had my experience please help. Thanks

I was on birth control (the patch) and I stop using it after my last period. I calculated that I should be ovulation two weeks later. Anywhere from the 12-16 day bafore my next period is supposed to start. We had sex every other day that whole week. Friday night I woke up with horrible cramps. The rest of the weekend I cramped some, but not bad like Friday night. That whole weekend I felt weird, had a headache, my boobs were a little sore, and cramped. Wednesday my cramps stopped, my boobs stopped hurting, I've been having less headaches than normal, and I'm not as tired as I normally am. My symptoms stopped, but the next two days I had no appetite and was nauseous. What the he'll is going on?? I really hope I'm pregnant. Do those signs mean I could still be pregnant? I'm supposed to start my period this week. I took a pregnancy test Friday( four to six) days before I'm supposed to star my period, it was negative. What are my chances that I am pregnan? Someone please help me.

Hi, I loved reading this. I obsess over symptoms and although I had sore boobies, it's faded today. I'm also 11dpo today and had a BFN this morning. Have mild cramps but could be the lovely (not) AF on route!! Good luck to everyone. X

Hi i love reading ur words of encouragement, iam in my 2ww also, have no strong sympton only mild cramp.how i wish someone out there would tell me am on the right path.

hello ladies.. in feb 2011 i was pregnant (miscarried) and i did not have any symptoms whatsoever the only sign I had was extremely sore breasts and slight cramps and that was it i didn't have nausea or anything like that ohh and I also had backaches so don't get discourage and test again after a couple of days as you know the hormones double up every 48 hrs... I tested pos one day after i missed af.

I HAVE MISSED MY PERIOD THIS MONTH I CANT REMEMBER WHAT THE DATE WAS IN DEC MY 10 YR OLD DAUGHTER STARTED HER FIRST PERIOD ON JAN 3 2011 SHES ABOUT TO START AGAIN I STILL HAVENT HAD ONE BUT IM NOT HAVING ANY SYMPTOMS AT ALL. WELL THE ONLY ONE I HAVE HAD THE BUMPS AND VEIN AROUND MY AREOLA. I HAVENT HAD A POSITIVE TEST YET,I WANT TO HAVE A LITTLE ONE I HAVE 2 GIRLS AND A BOY ALREADY I JUST DONT WANT TO BE DISAPPOINTED.

Wow, so many of the same types of question I want the answer to as well, but after reading through the Q. & A. I feel a lil better knowing that I still have the chance of being pregnant. Im now going on a week late, I have always been very on track and regular each month. I was on the pill but did run out & missed 2 wks till I got my new packs & in that time did have unprotected sex few times (which was last 12/30) and got (what I thought) was normal period that was only a day long that I wouldnt b pregnant, but now I am a week late starting & about the only thing id say would be a sign (or symptom) is I urinate much more frequently. So how much longer should I wait (to see if Aunt Flo does come) before taking a test?

Im 2 weeks and a couple of days late on my period. During the time i was suppouse to start i spoted for a day it also came with a lil cramping. I have had no symptoms at all that detects that i could be pregnant . So i really wouldnt know if i am or not. I have regular periods , this is the first time i had eregular periods. Could someone please tell me if theres a possibility I could be or not...

I haven't had my. Since sept 24th of 09. I've taken several pg test and they r all negative I went to docs and they say I'm not pregnant but I've been having lots of unprotected sex me and my husband r trying for number 3. I'm having all the pregnancy symptons I'm out of control I'm tired of hearing the same thing from the doctor keep on trying. My periods r very irregular I don't know what to do I'm just doing what I'm doing and I'm moving on. I don't let it get to me but I do want a baby sometime this new year what should I do any advice!!!!
