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

hi! I am 39 years old and happily married. Not to long ago I had a miss carriage last month and did not know it that I was pregnant. I also have fibroses and need a operation to have it removed, but now am nine days late and I have no symptoms, it very weird because I always have it every 28-29 days and on time. the only thing I have notice different is my nipples are a little sore and I have this constant headache but mainly I only want to be sleeping. I haven't done a home pregnancy test yet. Can I get pregnant again so fast?

I've been spotting brownish blood since May 11,2013. Prior to the continuous spotting, my period was coming every 18/19 days since January. I went to the doctor too find out what's wrong and found out I was pregnant. Few days before I went to Dr. R&D passed a large blood clot and was shocked to find out I was pregnant.because of the bleeding they couldn't tell how far along I was the next day I passed three more clots I went to er and was told by an ultra sound that I was seven weeks I continued to bleed through the night very heavy bright red watery blood.the Dr said baby was in good position and there were more blood clots that they removed another us revealed the baby stool there and heart beat my hcg levels were 1700!I go to the Dr.tomorrow wish me luck I'm so confused but reading the boss have really calmed my nerves.

Hello I'm 43yrs old, I already have two kids, after my husband died I remarried and my present husband and I decided to have a baby, I did all the procedures possible to get pregnant, the last I did was two years back, which my doctor gave me the Clomid pills. April 29th I had my last period, I missed May completely and I'm near two weeks in June, the symptoms I'm getting is not much, I'm feeling abdomen cramps, a little back pain, slight tenderness on my nipples, and a slight stiffness on the left side of my abdomen. I did a home pregnancy test which showed negative, I went to a lab and did a urine test it also showed negative. I'm 100% sure I'm pregnant, I'm waiting because I know this baby have to grow and its just time to tell that I'm officially pregnant.

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.
