I have been reading that minor cramps are ok and not to worry. the uterus is growing and stretching and muscles are adjusting. however.... I have this cramp that stops and goes every few seconds... very minor but has been lasting all morning and always in the same spot. almost next to my belly button... but a little lower. not painfull... just annoying... and i want it to go away because it scares me lol! also... my boobs arent sore any more since last night. it was kind of the one thing i was holding onto because i never had any other symptom except being tired and hungry. if i start feeling yucky in the morning i eat and feel great. any suggestions... or words of encouragement....? anything would be great. Ive been told i cant make a DR appt till my 8th week, so i'm going to the health dept today just to talk with someone.

My suggestion is to push your doctor for an appointment.  They CAN do u/s this early just to make sure everything is okay.  I can feel your fear with these symptoms having just lost my baby.  Every "bad" symptom or lack of symptom makes you nervous.  I can tell you that people have had these very symptoms and have normal pregnancies because this is normal.  I can also tell you that people have lost babies with these symptoms as their start.  I would strongly recommend calling your doctor and be a protectant mother.  Push them for an u/s.  You're the customer and you need to ease your mind.  Let us know how it goes.  I'll be praying for you. 

I had this too where my symptoms would go away for a day or two and then BAM they would come back. If you really need reassurance you can get an ultrasound, but at my 6 1/2 week appt. they couldn't really see anything so that was almost worse than just waiting. Its up to you, you know what you can handle hearing, it was hard for me to wait another 2 1/2 weeks for my next u/s but everything turned out just fine. Good luck and just know that you are still really early, most of my symptoms didn't kick in until 6 or 7 weeks!! Keep us posted and congrats on the pregnancy!

well i went to the health dept and they gave me no reassurance. just that our bodies are changing and it happens. but my cramps are really not feeling right. so i made an appointment for tomorrow and they are going to give me a full preg exam... ultra sound and all. one thing that im worried about is ectopic preg, the cramps were annoying towards my right side yesterday and today they are a little more severe on my left side. not sooooo much painful, but more than just annoying. and my breast are still sore. this is really dumb... but i have been constipated and i went to the bath room, and i kind of had to push because... well i was constipated. and thats when these worse cramps started. what do you guys think? I still havent seen any bloodwhen i go to the bathroom, but i have to unbutton my pants because this cramp on my left side is very uncomfortable.

I'm going to the DR today. wish me luck. Im so nervous. :(

Good Luck!  And don't be nervous - you' re doing the right thing by getting this checked out.  Let us know how it goes.

Keep us updated!  I wish you well at the doctors.

 I am sure everything is fine!  I had pain on one side with my first pregnancy and it turned out to be a cyst, that I eventually had removed.  But I had sharp spikes of pain.  Your pains sound more like something caused from a growing  healthy baby!!!  Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Well Im kind of upset, we went to the DR which was actually my PCP and she was no help at all. she didnt examin me or give me an US she said that if my pain gets really bad that she would suggest to go to the ER... made an appt with a place that will do an US for next week... just so upset becasue i wanted answers a long time ago. Im starting to think however my pains on the left side are from gas.... stupid as it sounds a friend of mine told me to lay on my left side. doing so made me actually pass gas and have to go to the bathroom.... relieving the pain om  my side. however i cant imagin it hurting this bad this early. my baby is the size of a seed and i cant see how that is blocking my bowels so soon. its so painful at least once i day i get it. so im going to just hope for the best till next week when i have my US....

When you get pregnant your body releases a hormone called relaxin that slows your digestive tract so you can become constipated or just have some bad gas and pains. Its not fun, but I had it too, drink TONS of water and eat good fiberous meals to help keep that at bay. Good Luck and let us know how your ultrasound goes!!! If the pain is too intense def. go to the ER maybe they will do a quick ultrasound to make sure that everything is ok if your too worried.

In the ER they found a cyst on my left ovary and they found a cystic structure in my tube.... they could not rule out ectopic so we are waiting for tomorrow to get another HCG test done to see if they had doubled, right now they are 795... is that to low? the DR said that at this stage it is actually a normal number and that is why we didnt see the fetus at this time. he said that it has to be at 1000 or higher to see so not to worry, and we'l know something by tomorrow if my numbers are doubled. Im def thinking the worst right now. they didnt see anything in my uterus and they saw a cystic structure in my tubes.... im thinking that i have to prepare for an ecopic pregnancy and im really just crushed. when i saw my PCP on Friday she said that she would call me today to let me know what my numbers were, that would help the waiting because it would have been 48 hrs from when i went to the DR last night and i could see if they doubled or went down... but they are so dumb there the woman i talked to said they wont even have the results till tomorrow... i cant wait to change my PCP after this experience with them. who walks in their DR office and tells them they think they are experiencine an ectopic preg and the DR tells them to go to the ER if the pain gets worse and we'll take some blood and thats it... and then when you are promised the results of the HCG they dont even have them. i believe they should have been ordered STAT sorry im going on and on just so much on my mind! lol
