Just to update all the lovely ladies who have been wishing me well, our viability scan showed that our foetus is alive and measuring the right size. It also had a nice fast heartbeat- one of my fears had been that it would be there but with a slow heartbeat. My other fear was that it would have split into identical twins (I’ve felt so sick I thought it was possible despite only putting one embryo back)- nothing against twins but I didn’t want the additional risk. But there’s only one in there. 😀
We don’t feel out of the woods yet, the wait for the 12 week scan now feels a lifetime away, I’m finding it hard to keep my pregnancy a secret as so many people know I have had treatment and also I just look tired and green all the time, but I’m just not ready to accept congratulations yet so I’m mostly trying to avoid such conversations!
Anyway, off for my afternoon nap now...

Aw they are. I’m doing good thank you! We had our scan at 13 weeks and all was good, it’s my first pregnancy/scan so it was just amazing. Now I feel better the anxiety sets back in, as awful as it was there was something reassuring about morning sickness! I guess the anxiety never stops now! Keep in touch x
Excellent news x tell people in your own time. You do feel a little under pressure when family and friends know what you have been through xx relax and enjoy your pregnancy , I’m tired and green most of the time too but these are all good signs xxx
Just wanted to say congratulations on your viability scan! That’s such lovely news!
We had our viability scan 24 April, and our little bean was alive and kicking, heart beat flickering away ❤️ It was such an amazing moment - I didn’t help the image too greatly with all my crying, but we saw it clear as anything.
So like you - now waiting for our 12 week scan or 13 week as it works out. Had the midwife appointment last weekend, so everything seems to be ticking along as it should...
I don’t know about you though, I can shake the feeling it’s too good to be true?! It’s surreal, like it’s happening to someone else?!
I’ve told my Mum and my brother my mother and father in law... some people at work too. But like you trying to keep it quiet til 12 week scan, oh the torture! I want to burst with my news!
Good luck with everything, I’ll say try and enjoy being pregnant, yes we’re pregnant! A concept I’m still trying to get my head round... but I know you’ll probably feel it’s all too good to be true! ☀️💕
What fantastic news!!!! Congratulations lovely (I know you said you'll find it hard to accept congratulations right now but I mean it!)
Not telling people is difficult my close friends all knew we were going through treatment. I think it's obvious of the outcome with the constant tiredness and not drinking... (I also have my brothers wedding in 2 weeks...how obvious will that be?!) But they are just going to have to wait lol!!
Anyway, I'm so glad that all went well for you-such a magical moment! Xxx
