Got our first scan in the morning.

[Emmy007]

Three weeks ago I went to bed hoping that the pregnancy test we were doing the next morning would be a positive one.....we'll it was...amazingly Tonight I'm going to bed even more anxious than I was three weeks ago because we have our scan tomorrow morning......I'm so nervous, I've read so many scary stories of it all going wrong.....just hope everything's ok. Oh well, not much longer to wait now........hopefully it'll be good news I'll be posting tomorrow xxx

[Pammi912]

Good luck, look forward to hearing your good news.xx

Good luck x

[Emmy007]

Thanks guys, we had our scan and everything's ok....thankfully I didn't realise it was going to be internal so went with a full bladder and nearly exploded in the waiting room lol they said I'm too early to see anything on an ultrasound. We'll, I'm 7 weeks and due on 29th July

Our clinic doesn't have exceptionally high success rates but there were 6 of us having embryo transfer on the day we had ours done....and all 6 of us are pregnant!!!! Weird huh.....fabulous weird I mean

[Lubuto in reply to Emmy007]

That is really amazing... all six pregnant? which clinic is this? am sure life has a different meaning... I had one failed ivf in may 2012... now on Gonal- f and ivf- m injections. today is the second one... just trying to reading experiences of others. I am really happy for you.

[Pammi912]

Congratulations, that's absolutely fabulous . Xx

Ps I think I probably would have done the same, at least I know for next week.

[Emmy007]

Hi pammi912, good luck for your scan next week, it's so amazing seeing something on the the screen even tho it doesn't look like anything it's really set my mind at ease xxx

[Pammi912]

Wow, cant wait, did you hear the heartbeat? xx

[Hidden]

That early you can't hear the heartbeat, but you can see it - magical.

[Emmy007]

Yeah, you can't hear anything, you can just see a little pulsating...my bf couldn't see but I was closer to the screen it's just a little flicker. Pammi do you know how many weeks you are?

[Pammi912]

Hi Emmy, I'm 5 weeks and 5 days, everyday is nerve racking, I wake up praying everything is still ok, am sick as a dog, but I read somewhere the sicker you are the more normal the pregnancy is (less chance of miscarriage) or maybe I just need that reassurance to get me through this stage. xx

[Emmy007]

I felt so nervous for the last week before my scan, I have no real symptoms which is great not to be sick but ur constantly thinking it's gone. My pharmacist in work said that the more sick u are the better....it means ur hormones are good and strong. I think everyone feels the same as us, it's normal to be concerned. I've got my fingers crossed for ur scan next week, not long now and u can relax a bit xxx

[debh1]

Congrats ladies - keep my fingers crossed for you both. If it makes u feel better I was really really sick from 5 weeks onwards ... Having my 12 week scan next week hopefully the twins are still going strong

[Emmy007]

Congratulations debh1 on ur twins. My bf gets so jealous when he hears of people having twins. We only had one embryo transferred but he was hoping it may have split by the time we went for our scan luv him......let's hope everything works out well for us all xxx

[Pammi912]

Hi guys, good luck for your 12 week scan, let us know how it goes. I have been really sick since I hit 4 weeks, in fact over the past few days it has been so bad, I will c my gp tomorrow for something, I've tried all the ginger products, mint tea, anything anybody suggests but it doesn't se to work .. I just going it will be worth it in the end. Xx

Ps Emmy I know exactly what you mean because if I don't get cramps I start thinking is everything alright, there seems to be no winning. But at least u have a positive scan.

[debh1 in reply to Pammi912]

Good luck with your gp - hope you have more success than I did with mine - she wouldn't give me anything for the sickness just basically told me to get over it

[Pammi912 in reply to debh1]

Hi Debh, firstly good luck with your scan this morning, Im sure it will all be well. Let me know how you get on. My GP was sympathetic but has advised me to take as little medication as possible as he doesn't want to take any risks. so have taken his advise so far, will see how I get on. not that great this morning. Do you still feel sick? Its a bit strange for me as none of my close girl friends have children, so I don't really have anyone to discuss things with, that have been through the process, so just try and pick things up through web sites. xx

[debh1 in reply to Pammi912]

yep still have the sickness although it has gotten better over the last week or so. From what I can gather from everyone ive spoken to it just totally varies from person to person some people are really lucky and dont get any at all, where as others suffer for a long time. Still .... keep on telling myself it will all be worth it in the end and thats its taken me so many years to get to this point I should be happy about it all - even the throwing up part (that bit is a hard sell though).

Good luck - hopefully your sickness will be short lived.

[Pammi912 in reply to debh1]

Hi Debh, Had my scan today, it was amazing, she gave me about 10 pictures, and although Im only 6 weeks and 3 days, the baby measured 9mm which she said was equivalent to 7 weeks 1 day.. so relieved cant put it into words, even got rid of the sickness for a while.

[debh1 in reply to Pammi912]

Congrats!!!! 10 pictures that's v good

[Emmy007]

Yeah, I feel a lot better since having my scan done. It would be great if we could have one every week just to reassure us hey xxx

[Pammi912 in reply to Emmy007]

That is so true, I absolutely hate blood tests and am prepared to have them just to know if my HCG levels are correct. Have you picked your antenatal centre yet? or had a chat with a midwife? xx
