8 long days to go...

[SuzanneAM]

The 2ww is a horrible wait, however once you get past that stage you have the dreaded wait for the 6-7 week scan. I still have 8 days of waiting and I am just wanting to get past that next stage because it is where my journey ended last time due to the baby having a weak heartbeat. I just want to see the scan and see that the little one is there and strong. I am having an interesting time at the moment, I am so tired, feeling bloated, sore boobs, the thought of eating is knocking me sick, gagging quite a bit with the odd sick, and the last couple of days I seem to be moody (which I think is because I’m nervous) and over emotional, crying over stupid things like getting sauce on my top. I’ve been getting a bit of cramp now and again but I’ve heard that can be a symptom. I start asking myself are these symptoms real? are they to do with the pregnancy? I get so excited and then I bring myself back down to earth….8 long days to go.

Sounds like you are being patient and try to keep relaxed . And think positive thoughts .

Wishing you all the luck in the world xx

Aaah hon,

From what I can see, the Bfp is only one of many hurdles to get through in 9 months and then a life time of concerns.

Crossing my fingers toes and everything for your scan that your little one is strong and well xx

Hey Suzanne, I got my BFP last week and am 5 weeks pregnant today, my 7 week scan is in two weeks time and I'm already going a bit loopy worrying about it all! 😖

It's so wonderful to have got the BFP & I'm so happy and grateful to have it, but I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle which ended before the 5 week mark, and can't stop worrying that it's all going to end before we get to the scan!

I think for us women who go through IVF the idea of pregnancy ends up seeming so foreign and unreachable that when it actually happens it doesn't sink in properly. I can't get my head round it. There's also the added problem that if this pregnancy fails then we have a long journey to get here again.

So basically, you're not on your own! I know how you're feeling 😊

I have everything crossed for you, let us know how the scan goes. I'm trying to just take each day as it comes and not get ahead of myself and just enjoy each day of being officially prego 😆 Xx
