5w1d

So far other than occasional cramping and migraines I do not have any symptoms. While it would be good news for most pregnant people for me it is making me quite nervous. I would love to have some symptoms once in a while telling me that something is going on down there else I start thinking about miscarriages. I even told my nurse about this and she said that worrying is very normal and is going to last forever. She explained that we would be worrying about miscarriages, then proper growth, then premature birth, then the baby's walking, talking, school, drugs, sex, marriage, grand kids and so on.

I haven't had any spotting so far so I guess that's good news. Currently my clinic is giving me progesterone shots once a week. I have read that others take suppositories everyday and sometimes more than once a day. Is it normal to get the shots just once a week? Will it be enough to support me for the whole week.

My husband has been treating me like a queen. I remember him once telling me that my parents have spoilt me by treating me like a queen and now he does the exact same thing. He refuses to let me do anything in the house and I have to fight with him to even go get a glass of water. I don't know if I deserve such a wonderful husband and I so badly want this baby to stay, more for his sake than mine. If something happens I would feel like a failure for having let him down. I know I am supposed to be thinking positive thoughts but once in a while I worry about these things too. Again I am going to blame IF for this.

Not from experience - but I hear a lot of the symptoms start at 6-8 weeks. I understand wanting symptoms to know it's ok. But at the same time, try to enjoy it. Bonding with the toilet doesn't sound enormously appealing. ;o)

It's so true, the worries don't end...if we let them keep going :) Meaning, we could worry on and on, and definitely the experience of IF changes you and you do worry more than you would have before...do your best to keep your worries at a minimum. Try to take it one day at a time...for me, each week is a small celebration, I would be (and still am) thrilled whenever I would turn a new week.
Enjoy your husband's kindness! He sounds great. :)

I am so excited for you. I hope some symptoms kick in soon for reassurance, but not so many that you feel miserable. Maybe just the odd feeling of nausea and some mildly sore bbs.

Will you get another ultrasound soon to look for a heartbeat?
