So I am due for my next scan on the 5th Jan, to find out if there is a heart beat and in the right place.

The two week wait was easy but this wait is soooo hard.

Roll on the 5th 😩

I agree this has been soooo hard! My scan is on the 30th Dec but so wish it was before Christmas coz I can't stop worrying. I'm 7 weeks now and no sickness yet although I would be moaning if I did but it would relax me more if I felt something x

in reply toCharlotte1984

Not good. Had to go to EPAC yesterday to get the miscarriage started 😞. Had a feeling deep down. Hope your scan goes well xx

Just got to wait for my body to get back to normal then I'll be having an FET with one of my blasto'S from my last cycle. I've got another three go's but hopefully won't need all of them xx

Hi guys, I completely feel your pain. My first scan is on 4 Jan. I had lots of symptoms but they all seem to have disappeared in the last day or two which is making me freak out. I am just hoping that having Christmas and new year in between will make the time go quicker.

It's a roller coaster isn't it? I go from imagining the best case scenario to being certain it's all going horribly wrong. Roll on 4 Jan! I hope it all goes well for you. Xx

Hi Charlotte - aw, you remembered!

All went well thank you. Everything is happening as it should be, measurements are good and we saw the little one (just one of them!) on the screen in all his or her glory with the little heart beating. It was pretty amazing.

It was such a relief, I didn't sleep a wink last night for worrying, couldn't eat anything this morning and was shaking when I went in, but all was good in the end. When we met with the nurse after I was literally lost for words and can't remember anything she said, my other half had to thank her as I literally couldn't speak. I am now discharged from the clinic and officially under the care of my midwife who I met yesterday. It's starting to feel quite real now!

How are you feeling for tomorrow? I would say try not to worry but I know that's impossible! Let me know how you get on won't you?

Lots and lots of love and luck. Xx

I am dreading it!

So I will be 7.5 weeks pregnant, what are you?

So I guess if tomorrow goes well it's the 12 week wait 😬

I think I am getting used to this waiting game

I thought I was 8 weeks today and I am still pretty sure that's right, however I noticed that 7+3 was written on my paperwork when we were having the scan, but I don't see how it can be as we had a 6 day transfer on 29 Nov. Anyhoo, I didn't ask the nurse about it as I was unable to speak at the time!

Yes, so now it's back to waiting for the 12 weeker. I can call on Friday and book that, which is quite exciting. I'll probably have a few days of relief before back to worrying about that one! My friend told me to get used to the worry as being a parent is a lifetime of it, so I suppose it's all good practise! Xxx

I wonder if that means 7 weeks 3 days?

As my nurse said I would be 7 weeks 5 days when I go for tomorrow scan.

I had my embryo put in on a Sunday so this Sunday I will be 8 weeks.

I can't believe they assign you with a midwife already!! So exciting

I just wish I knew sooner! This waiting is. Crap

yllek1982 in reply toCharlotte1984

Totally agree! I've started spotting again so no idea what's going on in there. Still been feeling sick on and off though- I get really hungry one minute then 10mins later I feel proper sick. All plays with your mind and feelings doesn't it xx

Just want to know if it's ok, this is such a hard wait. I would love to skip to 20 weeks.....

yllek1982 in reply toCharlotte1984

Me too. Had a bit of a fright in night as passed a blood clot-hoping and praying all is fine in there xx

Charlotte1984 profile image
Charlotte1984 in reply toyllek1982

Oh god, I am praying it's just one of the pockets that's realised!

I wouldnt do a pregnant test just in case as it won't be correct due to hormones xxx

yllek1982 in reply toCharlotte1984

Didn't know whether to call the clinic but I'm there next week anyway and last time when I called they said there was nothing they can do. I have fibroids so I'm trying to tell myself it could be to do with them. I didn't have loads of blood loss with it, it just came out with the old crinone discharge -so gross!! It's horrid all of this-it's the closest we've got and I just don't want to go in there and them not be able to find it again-my worst fear! Xx
