Made it to 12 weeks!

[Purple276]

Hey there!Can't believe we finally made it to 12 weeks - feel like this last few days has really dragged. But had the scan today and totally relieved to see a little heartbeat 💓

Wasn't sure what I was expecting but my bladder was too full - turns out for baby scans they don't mean as full as you need it to be for embryo transfer! Then I saw their little foot stretch out and totally hit me that this is actually a little human. Totally overwhelmed and it sunk in that after 6 years of trying, tests, transfers and lots of tears this has worked ☺️

I have no doubt the next worry is around the corner but for today I'm just going to sit in a bubble of bliss and relief.

Hope everyone else who had scans this week got good news too and if its over the next few weeks keep hanging in there and take comfort that we can get good news 🥰

[liftinglady]

that’s amazing news so happy for you seeing its little foot and heartbeat. What a milestone.

I have 7 week scan on Tuesday and I’m so nervous due to a previous MMC but I’m trying to be and feel positive and just keep on keeping on

Thank you. Congrats on makibg it this far although know it's that take one step at a time stage. It's so hard when you've had a previous experience like that but definitely keep that positive if you can and Tuesday will be here before you know it. Wish you a calm and peaceful weekend x

Congratulations 🎊. Its so magical when you finally see your little one moving round on the screen after the journeys we go through. Enjoy your bubble x

[Purple276 in reply to StarsAllAround]

Thank you - it was much more than I was expecting - but then I was just focusing on seeing a heartbeat! And didn't expect anything else!

[StarsAllAround in reply to Purple276]

It's amazing what you can see on a scan I was totally blown away by it, you'll see even more at your 20 week one! 🙂 x

[helodie]

congratulations ! Yes I can relate to that sense of it not being real yet. But 12 weeks is a huge milestone, enjoy today! Xxx

Thank you. It does feel lovely 😍

Great news! I had my 7w scan yesterday and was so relieved that things seem as they should be. After a MMC at 7w last time, I was terrified. I feel like I'm now in uncharted territory. The clinic said they won't see me again and now I just have to wait for 12 week scan but that is so far away. Did you have any other scans or did you manage to just wait it out? Each wait in this process feels like an eternity.

[Purple276 in reply to ButtercupGarden]

Ah excellent work, that's such good news 😀 I was the same at my 8 wk scan - so scared to see the same again. And yes weird to be signed off! I had a midwife appt at 9.5 so just focused on getting to that and then setting other dates to count down to. It was a long slog but I have quite bad nausea so just focused on that being a good sign and only reading positive 12 week scan stories. You also can't control what will happen so just focus on keeping positive thoughts when you can.

Good luck for the next few weeks and feel free to post on here if you want a chat or need a vent! Xx

[ButtercupGarden in reply to Purple276]

Thank you! Good advice. I've done my self referral so just waiting to hear from the hospital for my midwife appointment now (which also doesn't seem real!) The nausea seems to come in waves for me, so I get paranoid when it seems to go away! This is TMI but just threw up on the way home from a wedding as the nausea just overcame me. I'm taking it as a good sign despite the shame! Everyone just thinks I was drunk but nope, totally sober! 🤢

[Purple276 in reply to ButtercupGarden]

Well that's at least stopped everyone guessing you are pregnant at least! 😂 It is rubbish feeling so ill and being sick I'm so sorry but definitely the worst I felt the more reassurance it gave me - sure that's not the way it should be!The midwive appt did feel odd - you're just a normal pregnant person now but mine was great and adapted to my cautiousness and was lovely. Definitely thr next thing to focus on xx

Thank you! Hope your little one is doing well 💗

[MyLittlePinkness]

Congratulations, it is the best feeling in the world to see your little one wriggling on a scan💕💕💕

Amazing so happy for you ♥️ I bet that's the best feeling ever. 12 weeks must feel like such a milestone, I'm praying for that! I've just got my BFP so hoping time flies until 7 week scan and then again until 12 weeks! It's funny how we wish so much time away isn't it? X

[Purple276 in reply to HMCW22]

It really does after so many failed rounds. Congrats on your BFP - super happy for you. Yes the wait never seems to end but just take each day as it comes and eventually it gets there! Wish you a speedy few weeks! 😀
