This is torture

So We got our first ever bfp two weeks ago on our 5th transfer. This wait till 7 week scan next week has felt longer than the 2ww. I am so worried that there is nothing there and the tests were wrong. I have had no sickness just tiredness and lots of gas...sorry tmi. We did two home tests and the hospital did a test on otd and all positive. I know some women on here keep testing and the lines fade. We didn't do this and now I am so worried that on wed we will be told there is nothing in there...this is just torture. I just so hope this is it for us ....love to you all xxx

I know it’s agonising wait. It’s been an agonising 8 weeks from our 12 weeks scan and next Thursday is finally our 20 week scan xxx

I was the same! Kept worrying that there would be nothing there when we had the scan. Try to keep doing things to keep your mind occupied when you can, literally anything!! It will come around. No news is good news I say, so if there are no signs that there is anything wrong,try to keep thinking positive ❤ easier said than done I know. All the best for Wednesday xx

Completely relatable post! It’s so hard. I’m 6weeks + 5 and the thought of waiting another 5 weeks for the 12 weeks scan is also torture! Also felt hardly any symptoms other than tiredness until today when nausea has hit hard all day!. Take care xx

Totally understandable to be feeling that way and your right the tww feels like nothing compared to waiting for your first scan. All I would say is try not to worry about what symptoms you may or may not have, look forward to seeing good news following your scan xx

I feel the same. I feel so nervous about our 7 week scan. I’m taking clear blue digital waiting for it to go to 3+ and it hasn’t yet. I shouldn’t really do it as it’s making me feel worse and more stressed. My scan isn’t until the 20th xxx

I can only imagine the torture...I haven't even got to a 2ww yet but the waiting between appointments is a nightmare so must seem forever waiting to see that little heartbeat....only suggestion I have is to fill your diary up & keep yourself as busy as poss until scan day (without exhausting yourself of course!) Xx

I also hope this is your time, sending you lots of luck for your scan. I can only imagine how agonising the wait must be for you xx

I know what you mean! It is the worst wait! Don’t know how other women wait until the 12 week scan. Good luck with your scan x

Can completely understand how you feel, every step feels like a torturous waiting game but every step is also a step closer to our wish and you’ve already achieved the first big hurdle 👏🏻

My scan is another 2 weeks away yet and I’m driving myself bonkers worrying it will all go wrong again, I think it’s only natural. Jigsaws are the way forward!!

From what I’ve read on here symptoms can vary so much from person to person so its not necessarily a bad sign if you don’t feel sick.

Hang in there lovely and keep thinking positive thoughts 🍀🍀🍀🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼Xxx

I totally agree, you think the two week wait is the longest until you get your BFP and then have to wait for the 7 week scan. I was a neurotic mess. I did a couple more tests and freaked out after one was faded. Ended up getting the clinic to agree to do blood tests on a rechargeable basis at the hospital so had hcg tests over two days and all was rising but I had spotting too which also didn’t help. I had convinced myself it had all stopped and there would be nothing on the scan but when we finally got in there after a few seconds she said there’s the heartbeat and I burst into tears. I had another scan at about 8w3d as continued to spot and was another long wait to 12 week scan but it got a bit easier after that. I thought I would be beaming the whole time but the worry just took over. I just took one day at a time in the end but still so hard. Always here if you want to message for a chat xx

Thank you so so much...we didn't keep testing as I am anxious enough and now I kind of wish we had as I am so worried for Wednesday. I kind of hoped things might get easier after wed if we see our baby ok. We will be 7 weeks 4 days at scan and think we will book in for 10 week scan for reassurance then we have 12 week scan booked in with NHS so I am just seeing these small steps.wecwant this so badly yet so many sad stories on here I worry life will be cruel this way to us too...I feel we have been through so much this has to be our time...ahhhhhhhh this is so 💩💩💩💩💩thanks again xxx

If I hadn’t had the extra scan at the EPU I probably would have paid for an extra scan so it wasn’t such a long wait. It does go faster after the 12 week one. Xxx

Hiya. I was exactly the same! I think walking into the clinic on the 7 week scan day was the most scared I've ever been! Even during the scan it felt like forever before she said 'I have good news for you'. I think I must have tested every other day in the lead up. Not sure if it was helpful or not bcos the lines definitely changed from test to test. Currently 10 weeks and trying not to agonize over the next scan but I'm sure the closer it gets the harder it will be.

Good luck with it and let us know how you get on. Xx

Hey Hun yup I am the very same. Wow 10 weeks that feels like an age away..congrats to you too....this journey so 💩 I feel I have been robbed of all the happiness and excitement that should come with a normal pregnancy 😭Xxxx

So much waiting for two weeks here and three weeks there! 🙈 Keep the faith. Lots of luck xx

Yes isn’t it just!! I am suspending belief that it’s real until we get to the 12 weeks as I’m so scared something bad will happen!! I’m 8 weeks + 1, our next Scan is week 9 for the Panorama tests.

I’m thinking of you, it’s bloody hard to not go completely mad!! Plus throw in some insomnia, constipation and sickness for fun!

Hang on in there and let us know how you get on at your next scan

Xx
