I'm between groups at the moment. According to my dates I'm 6w6d pregnant but I don't have my viability scan until 7w6d. For the last week I've had nausea to the point I have to spend the evening lying on the sofa and haven't eaten proper dinners. Last night I felt absolutely fine and this morning too. I'm starting to worry. I'm taking cyclogest so don't have the reassurance knowing that if I'm not bleeding I'm likely to be OK. I've tried to look for previous posts about this but been unable to find anything recent with my times. Am I over thinking or is something wrong? Do I just need to wait until next week and hope my symptoms come back?
Assume it's pointless doing a pregnancy test as this may confuse me more.
UPDATE: my clinic refused to bring my viability scan forward and just told me to do a pregnancy test today and Monday. We've been for a private scan and been able to see the heart beat. Everything was as it should be. 🤞 It continues

I am now 26 weeks pregnant. I think it’s really common for symptoms to fluctuate at this stage. Doing a pregnancy test won’t help at all and will just panic you. I know it’s so hard but try and stay calm xx
Thank you so much. That has really helped. It's just the not knowing and being unable to find out that's really hard. Also the worry of going to a scan and bot sure if it's going to be good or bad news. Congratulations on being 26 weeks, over half way now. Try to enjoy your pregnancy, I know its easier said than done.
I know it's hard, weirdly I was never actually sick with this pregnancy and the symptoms came and went until about 14 weeks, I kind of got used to the variety. I have to say though the worry hasn't stopped. I definitely wish I could enjoy this pregnancy and you always have a milestone in your head that when you get to it you will not worry and enjoy it, but the reality is that's really not the case as we have all waited and fought so hard for it. The sooner you can try and reconcile the fact you are completely out of control the better - but it doesn't make it any easier! Heaps of luck xx
This is my second and I think I'm finding it harder as I have something to compare it to. My first was transfer number 5 and the last embryo whereas this one was the first of a new cycle so I'm thinking my luck is going to run out soon. We can never just be grateful and enjoy it after all we've been through
Awww bless both of you it’s so hard. I had to jump on as Daisy I had exactly the same thing. You get 7 weeks, 12 weeks, 20 weeks then 26 weeks and I think I was finally fine at 32 because at that point labours are much safer- then you start to worry if movement is normal. However what they tell you is movement should be the same time each day - well mine wasn’t and it was fine. And as baby gets bigger they sleep a lot and have lots of periods of no movement. I had some false alarms to the hospital to check… but what’s a good idea is to stick yourself in a quiet room and concentrate hard on movement - chances are you’ll feel something. Good luck both of you xx
Hi there, It’s such a wait to get to the scan and like you said, you’ve just got to hang in there! Easier to write than do, I know. 🤯Wishing you a speedy week and all the best for your scan. 🍀You’re doing great; keep going!💪💗 x
I had this too, at 8 weeks. I’d been completely wiped out by nausea & vomiting, like you say was lying on the sofa or in bed for most of the day and on several different meds for it. One evening I felt great all of a sudden, cleaned my whole flat, ate loads, and PANICKED! I felt like that for a couple of days and was conceived it was game over then bam, it all came back and I’m back to being sick all day everyday. It can definitely happen, I’d hold out til your scan and not test (it won’t really tell you anything anyway). Wishing you all the luck 🍀 xx
Thank you ❤️ it's difficult not being able to test but I'm pleased other problems have experienced the same and had good news. I'm desperate to feel sick again!
I had this all my symptoms disappeared at 6 weeks I panicked and as I had previous history of ectopic my clinic agreed to scan me a week earlier than planned. All was fine now 30 weeks. Try and find something else to occupy your mind. Good luck x
Thank you 😊 all the best with the rest of your pregnancy. Did your symptoms come back? I'm going to ring my clinic and see if I cab bring the scan forward
hi lovely, just wanted to share my experience too in case it helps 😊 ive had five pregnancies, and this current one is the only one that’s gone longer than 6+5 weeks (now 19wks). Multiple reasons for the previous ones not being successful… but the 2 i had following IVF i always had varying symptoms (this current one included). I think - and the midwife agreed - that your body has a stronger reaction to the developing pregnancy at first because you’ve had ivf meds and/or are on progesterone. At the beginning of the pregnancy your progesterone levels are rising rapidly and when that’s combined with progesterone meds it exaggerates those symptoms. Around 6-8 weeks your body starts to adjust and so they taper off a bit (before coming back in my case this time). So definitely don’t worry - varying symptoms don’t mean anything. Also the unsuccessful pregnancy i had on cyclogest i still started bleeding… much less so than when I’ve not been on it but it still started happening. You got this! X
I’ve had exactly the same, awful nausea 24/7 for a few weeks then earlier this week it stopped and I could eat again and felt so much better. Panic set in that something wasn’t right. Yesterday nausea was back with a vengeance after 3 days of virtually nothing, so much so I went to bed at 8pm last night as the only relief was lying down. As soon as I got up this morning it’s back full force and I’m struggling to face eating anything.
Hopefully it’s all just normal hormone fluctuations xx
Thank you. It's so odd, the nausea is horrible but also reassuring. I've spoken to my clinic and they won't bring my scan forward. Just told me to do another pregnancy test. That came up positive so we've booked a private scan for this afternoon
Good luck with the scan, let me know how you get on. It’s such a worrying time but hopefully all will be progressing as it should.
I had bleeding at 6w5d so clinic brought my scan forward by a few days…I was convinced it was all over but saw baby and heartbeat and all measuring as it should. I think when we’ve tried so hard to get here everything is going to cause anxiety. I’ve booked a private scan for 10 weeks as I’m panicking things won’t continue and that feels like such a long way off. Wish I could have a scan every week for reassurance xx
hi Sw1234 , I came across your post as my pregnancy symptoms disappeared today at 8 weeks and I started to panic it is another MC. Hope it is all going well with you. How did your scan go?
Private and fertility scan both went well. Symptoms have been coming and going. I'm now 11w2d and symptoms have eased off again. I'm hoping it's my placenta kicking in. It's so easy to say but keep going, you're nearly at your booking in and then it'll be your scan. At my booking in appointment the midwife rightly said to me a scan only shows everything is OK in that moment so that's helped me to wait a few days andthink about overall symptoms. Do what's right for you to get you through the next few weeks. My sickness with my LB was constant and very intense so it's hard with this one as it was so reassuring last time. Keep me updated on how you get on x
