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 am officially 6 days late for my period this month. I ovulated April 28 and today is May 17. I feel tired but otherwise have had no other symptoms. I took a pregnancy test two days ago and it was negative. Could I be pregnant??

I've been married fourteen years this year (2013)and have not been able to conceive. Earlier tests showed both of us were healthy and missing nothing, so it was classified under 'unexplained infertility'. I have never missed a period before, but am a week late on my period now (am always spot-on: 28 day cycle, give or take a day). I am constipated, and urinate more frequently than usual. I have no food cravings, no tender breasts, no nausea, not unusually tired....etc. I did a home pregnancy test this morning and it was negative. I'd really like to be pregnant, and am hoping for multiple pregnancy. We have since adopted a girl and a boy, but this would still be great. I really hope I'm pregnant. How do I tell if I am? help.

hi, i'm 18 years old, i had a misscarriage about 6 months ago. I took a pregnancy test it say YES! i have cramping in my stomic is that normal??? an no morning sickness, im about 4 weeks..

Hi. I am about 2 weeks late, have been experiencing severe cramps at night with literally just a bit of soreness on my nipples.I have warmed up to the idea that I might be pregnant, however I have not taken a pregnancy test yet because I am scared to confirm it. So anyway, apart from cramping terribly at night, which a has been going on for a month now, I have absolutely no other signs, I am not tired, not moody, no morning sickness, no food cravings and my emotions are just fine. Confession, I am looking for the slightest possibility that I am not pregnant, perhaps it is one of those missed period illnesses or somthing, nothing too serious I hope. I know I should take a test, but before I do, I just wanna know, is it possible to miss your period n experience PMS the entire missed month and not be pregnant? Please help, I am really scared.

Hi my period is 10 days late which is strange for me because my period is always on time every month I've been getting cramping on and off all week my boobs have only just started to feel a little sore and actually bigger and having veins that pop out all on 1 side ...my lower abdomen is sensitive and I feel bloated for a couple of days I stopped wanting to eat cuz when I do it makes my bloating worse and then I feel kind of sick >.< my lower back and on my right hip has been very sore and ive been feeling strange in my stomach if you get me!! but when I took a pregnancy test this morning it came up not pregnant?

Oh and I almost forgot. It has been 2 or 3 days since I"ve had the flu.

Hi, I have been having small pains in my stomach when I'm sitting down and when I suck my belly in. My boobs have been very tender,hard, and I have noticed bumps and veins around my areola. I have been having some back pains and I've been sleeping in later than usual. Til at least 10 or 11 in the morning. Another thing is. I've noticed my belly is getting bigger. I'm a little nervous. But I'm really hoping to be pregnant. My cycle is supose to be coming up here in a couple days, so I"m hoping that will tell me whether or not what to do next. A lot of the things I've read from other peoples comments are happening to me. So I"m praying I finally get to have the baby of my dreams. Thanks!!!

Hi all, this is my first post here and like some others I've read here I am currently experiencing my first 2WW. Today I am cd25 and I think I am 10DPO -ovulation kit never gave a positive but CM amount and consistency hinted differently- (I am still learning the abbreviations, yesterday I finally realized what AF stood for, LOL.) Thing is seven days after we bd'd I had a large amount of milky white/clearish CM (made a splotch about the size of a coffee saucer in my pajamas pants, in addition to brownish slight spotting couple drops) sorry if TMI. I took this as maybe implantation? Two days later we decided to do HPT, as I am very regular and am expecting AF this weekend thought early testing would pull thru, got negative. Tested the next morning, negative. I have been checking my CM daily. I am three days away from beginning new cycle and CM is still milky white, lotion like and abundant. I have read that this close to pending period CM is supposed to be dry if non existent. Could this mean preggers? I am very small chested and think one of the most obvious signs would be a boost to cup size. My nipples ache but not unbearably so. I have noticed those bumps on my areoleas becoming very prominent. No nausea, or extreme fatigue. It is my understanding that if I am pregnant that I am in my 3 week. I guess I am looking for reassurance that I am not out of the running.

Hi All, i am 6 days late with my period, no symptoms except extreme fatigue, i can hardly keep my eyes open during teh day, and i over sleep almost everyday. i have a slight cramping in my stomch, and have really bad flu for the past 3 days ( just out of no where) i have read that woman have gotten teh flu / cold just after falling preggies, i have had 3 miscarriages, so i am really praying that this will be it, we have been trying for just over a year now, so is it really posssible not to have any symptoms.

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.
