Waiting for first bfp scan!!

[angelpie12]

I've now done 3 pregnancy tests and all been positive which is great but I'm now panicking that when I go for my scan next week something will be wrong 😕 Dreading there being no baby?! Or no heartbeat? Or something wrong with it? I know I'm probably being ridiculous but has anyone else experienced this?xx

Hello there! Congratulations!!!!! All that hard work has paid off. A positive is a positive and even if those things happen (which they probably won't!) you can conceive, how fantastic! 

I will share with you that I found out a few weeks ago that I'm pregnant too. Nothing since my miscarriage a year ago then conceived almost to the day. I was prepping for inferitility and looking into adoption then wham. I moved house, lifted boxes and spent a fortnight drunk and depressed lol. I had an early scan and he/she is in the right place and has a heartbeat. I have my 12 week scan in a couple of weeks and am still terrified the heart has randomly stopped. I have to keep telling myself I conceived and I carried until now. Why shouldn't it continue? Surely we are like normal pregnant people Now with the same concerns. A little tip, apparently as you progress tests can become fainter, so three is probably enough!

Please try and give yourself a break and think of all the positives in this again how fantastic! Congratulations xx

Oh am I on the infertility site now? Oh well sorry I saw you posted and answered. Think I'm on here now too! Ha x

I felt exactly the same way. I honestly thought there would be nothing there certainty no heart beat as we had a really early scan 6weeks 3 days but it was all there. Had another scan at 8 weeks as I had some bleeding was still terrified something would be wrong. Now waiting for our midwife appointment and for a date of our 12 week scan and I still feel the same paranoia. Unfortunately I doubt it'll ever completely go until our bundles of joy are in our arms. Keep calm and relax x

How far gone are you? Next week may be too early to see anything.

1 am 5w + 5d and my scan isn't until 30th.

Just be aware that if it's too early don't be disheartened.  I am driving myself insane waiting and waiting it's not nice at all.

Will you be doing bloods too?

Congrats though exciting but scary times xx

Hi ladies, I think what you're feeling is very common and everyone who gets a BFP from IVF is the same - I certainly was. I actually think waiting for the first scan is even worse than the 2ww! We've all been through so much to get here that it's completely natural to think it's going to be taken away from us.  If it helps then I have found it that bit easier as my pregnancy has progressed, though I don't think I'll fully believe it until he's here in my arms.  I found that until the 12 week scan I was totally paranoid, then it got a bit easier. I've now 2.5 weeks left and for the last couple of weeks I've started getting more paranoid again every time I don't feel him for a while (even though it's common for him to have quiet days). The only advice I can give is to take it a day at a time and try and enjoy it.  And remember that symptoms do come and go so make the most of it whilst they are gone rather than worrying about why they aren't there (though appreciate that's easier said than done!) x

Hi Angelpie12

I'm in exactly the same boat! I have my scan a week today and can't wait (I'll be 6 weeks and 4 days). I am so anxious that something is going to go wrong and am noticing every little symptom. I'm going mad!! 

I'm sure everything will be fine for both of us...... take care x

Hi, totally get how you feeling..I'm the same...6 weeks pregnant at moment..scan on 27th ...another week to wait...it is so dragging and worse than 2 week wait...just want to know all OK...least we know we not alone....sending you all the best xx

[angelpie12]

Thanks for making me realise I'm not alone in this ladies 💕 5 more sleeps until I know if my little sesame seed is ok! 😕 This wait is killing me! Still having pregnancy symptoms which I'm taking as a good sign. I'm 6 weeks tomorrow which is when the baby is meant to develop a heartbeat. I'm exhausted like I've never known before, swollen achy boobs, nausea, headaches... Feel like I want to fast forward to 12 weeks so I know my baby is out of the danger zone xx
