I completely understand how stressful it is to wait for symptoms to show up, it makes you question everything. Some women feel changes at 4 weeks, others not until 8 weeks. Your anxiety is valid, but lack of symptoms doesn't mean something is wrong.
Symptoms usually kick in around 5 to 6 weeks, like nausea or fatigue. But please remember to stay cautious and report any severe cramping or spotting to your doctor right away. It's always best to have your gynac guide you from the start.
For me, I started feeling mild cramps and sore breasts around week 5, and I immediately panicked thinking something was wrong. But actually, every body is so different. Try not to overanalyze every little symptom, though I know it's impossible!
It usually starts around the 6th week, but don't worry if you don't feel anything yet. I remember crying because I had no symptoms early on, feeling so disconnected. Your journey is unique, just hold on and trust the process.
I have heard from my cousins that symptoms like morning sickness or smelling things differently start around the second month. We are also trying to conceive, so I am reading a lot about this. I hope we both get our good news very soon.
Around week 6, the exhaustion hit me like a truck, followed by vomiting at the sight of onions. Enjoy the quiet days before the symptoms start, because once they do, there's no off switch! Get all the sleep you can right now.
