Symptoms disappeared. Is there any hope? *update*

[babygrey]

I'm 6-7 weeks pg with twins. I had some bleeding ten days ago, but it was only really for one day. My betas then continued to go up. I had an ultrasound last week. Baby A had no heartbeat, Baby B had a flicker that wasn't measurable. I was dated at exactly 6 weeks at that US, which matches my dates, so the hope is that it was just too early, tho my RE was concerned, as both babies measured bigger than 5mm, which is apparently the general rule for when the heartbeat should be visible.

What's really worrying me, tho, is that, until four days ago, I was very sick w/ m/s, I was dizzy, my nipples hurt like crazy, and I was having to pee all the time. Now, I have NO symptoms. The m/s went away very suddenly, the other symptoms slowly faded. I truly have no symptoms today.
With my other DC, I really didn't have symptoms this early, so I wouldn't be worried, except that I had MAJOR symptoms from like 12dpo... My MW is way more concerned that my symptoms are gone than w/ the lack of heartbeats.

I know symptoms disappearing, esp with twins, is an ominous sign, but I'm wondering if there are any moms out there who have had symptoms disappear and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?

ETA: If you have had symptoms disappear and gone on to m/c, how long after your symptoms disappeared did you miscarry?

Of course there is hope. Especially at this point in pregnancy, symptoms come and go, some days are good and some are bad. The best thing to do would be try and relax and see if you can get in to see someone right away. The anxiety is really awful.

Hey, Babygrey. You certainly have had an emotionally eventful pregnancy so far. It must be hard to deal with this many ups and downs as far as worry goes. I don't know much about the loss of symptoms. I do know that was the first question my MW asked me when I thought I was miscarrying. I think of it as kind of an odd question because some of them are going to go away...especially the nausea. Though I guess not generally as early as 6-7 weeks.

I'm 7 weeks today and will tell you that I have very few symptoms. I had a little nausea that comes an goes but if I eat regularly it's barely noticeable. I also had very swollen breasts like a week ago an that's gone as well. Hopefully that's an ok sign.

Wishing you well!!

I agree that it's normal for the symptoms to come and go. Don't lose hope yet! I have good and bad days at 6w3d. Some days I feel great and panic a bit then a symptom will pop up. If you're truly concerned then ask for another u/s to ease your mind. Hang in there!!

When I had a m/c my symptoms actually didn't go away until after I had already started spotting/bleeding. Then all of a sudden my breasts were no longer sore, I wasn't peeing all the time, etc.

We saw the heartbeat with this little one at 6w4d - 6weeks really is on the early side to see a heartbeat, so I wouldn't give up hope yet. And I would certainly try to get back in for an u/s asap to find out what is going on. Sending good vibes your way.

I went from vomiting (and I never puke, ever) to literally feeling awesome in one day with #2. I was just about 7 weeks.... I also had some mild cramping so I assumed we had lost the baby, totally freaked out and went for an emergency US and there the baby was, totally fine. My MS never came back and he was born fine at 41 weeks.

Of course in your shoes, I would be worried too (I worry a lot) but understand it might not mean anything is wrong. And I do think that 6 weeks could be early tosee both heartbeats clearly (I know you were charting, I do too but even with good charting conception could be off a day or two or three....).

Hang in there and

i had bad nausea up until 6-7 weeks then I hit a stretch of nothing...

then at 8 weeks the REAL morning sickness (puking, ugh) hit!

[crayfishgirl]

Hey Babygrey

I'm just catching up...twins!! So exciting!

I had the same experience as Maeryn (and posted on this forum semi-freaking out). My symptoms came and went in the first few weeks, but didn't really hit until close to 8 weeks, when they hit like a train....exhaustion, nausea, dizzy and light-headedness. They started improving last week to the point where I thought I was out of the first-tri ickiness period, but the past few days I have felt nauseated again and been so tired I want to fall over by the end of the day (although that could be related to other things).

As for the babies being big enough to have heartbeats....my OB, who is awesome (long story associated with my daughter's birth, but she walks on water in my mind), told me that early on size is incredibly difficult to measure accurately and if multiple measurement were to be made at the same time (even by the same person) the precision would be way off.

In retrospect, I had a much different pregnancy with my miscarried pregnancy than I have with this baby, or with Fiona. I have experienced very similar symptoms with this and my first pregnancy, whereas my miscarried pregnancy the symptoms were much milder and I was never dizzy and lightheaded like I have been with the others. I don't know if that is helpful to you.

Its so hard to stay relaxed when these babies are so wanted and so hard fought to concieve and I'm not even going to suggest it as it was impossible for me. I have tried really hard to stay ambivilent about this pregnancy since my last one ended in a loss, and I'm only just starting to feel positive and excited now that I'm at 12 weeks (although I'll really feel better at my appnt tomorrow when I hear a heartbeat [hopehopehope!], I truely won't feel secure until I have a screaming babe in arms).

I do hope that you start feeling like complete crap soon because I know that even though I felt awful, I was so reassured when I felt that way.

only in a pregnant mama circle could we sincerely wish feeling like complete crap on each other in kindness.

Seriously, tho, thank you all so much. These are exactly the kind of responses I needed to hear. I'm gonna hang for a few days and get another US this week. Right now, I'm just going to enjoy feeling semi-human and pregnant until proven otherwise. I'll KUP.

Hugs to you, babygrey. I am currently at 30 weeks. I started early, 6 weeks or so, with nausea, sore boobs, peeing. Then I got food poisoning that lasted a week. It all cleared around week 7.5, maybe a bit earlier, completely. No more symptoms. I freaked, and scoured the Internet for stories of this happening in a healthy pregnancy. I had chosen to wait until week 9 for a first ultrasound, so had a long time to wait and wonder. It was torture. I was so sure I had lost the pregnancy that I went in for the ultrasound at 9 weeks to confirm that. And there it was, the heartbeat! I was shocked and delighted. My 1st tri symptoms never returned. It's really true that it's all a mystery, and the best we can do is to try to live fully in the unknown. Best to you!

update

Thank you all so much for your stories and words of comfort.
I have a good update- I had a US yesterday and both babies are there with good heartbeats

I am so amazed. I had completely convinced myself that at least one of them was lost. I also am doubting my mama-intuition now bc, well, honestly, I was SURE one of them was gone.

Baby A has a subchorionic bleed and is measuring 3 days smaller than baby B, so I'm worried, but I'm trying to bask in the fact that they are both alive right now.

I still don't know what to think about my symptoms. So strange. They've come back a bit, but nothing like they were before. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this experience.

That's great news! Congratulations. Definitely normal for your symptoms to keep coming and going. Hope you keep feeling well and have a wonderful 9 months!

[Baby~Braatens~Mama]

Amazing! That is an awesome update, mama! Congratulations!

[CherryBomb]

I'm so glad to hear it!

[aurinia]

So glad to hear such an awesome update!

As far as one baby measuring 3 days behind the other, that is completely normal, and I'm told very common with twins, at least w/ di/di (not sure about mono/mono). I'm almost 25 weeks with di/di boys and up until about 20 weeks, baby B was always measuring 3-4 days behind his brother.

Again, congrats, mama!

[IdentityCrisisMama]

Yay, Babygrey!!
