Scared S**tless - Positive bloods and tests 15dp5dt

[Veekay80]

Hey Guys

So as the title suggests, im 15 days past my 5 day transfer with 2 blastos and none to freeze, my pregnancy tests and my blood test came back positive with a hcg level of 200, i have another blood test tomorrow to check the levels are rising. Although im so peased i still can't help but feel terrified that something is going to happen. I have AF like symptoms with a lot of cramping so i'm constantly paranoid thats its going to come.

How do you cope? im trying not to stress as i know this doesn't help but im not enjoying it at the same time. Previously to this i had 3 failed IUIs and a failed ivf and that's probably why im paranoid. I've wanted this so badly but can't seem to enjoy it and i feel so guilty.

Any advice?

Thanks! xx

Well first of all this is good news! But I understand the fear all you can do is rest and take care of yourself and hopefully all will go well as the days go by hopefully you will have little bursts of happiness and you will begin to relax a little wishing you all the very best x

First of all congratulations lovely. 💝

Although I haven't gone through ivf I can totally relate with these feelings due to my, reocurrent losses. Hun all you need to remind yourself is your pregnant today and, take each day, as it comes, I know IT'S hard but once you, have that scan it will relieve you for a short while then you'll worry again. I'm 15 weeks and still scared to the bone.

I think it's a way of us protecting ourselves we've worked so hard to get here you even harder. Sending hugs and love and hope this feeling wares away in the coming weeks.

💝😘💝

Your fears are understandable. If it's any consolation I've been cramping on and off since 5dp5dt- I'm about 6 weeks pregnant now and still cramp, sometimes they're quite intense. I've never had my hcg levels checked so I'm just trusting that all is ok until my scan. Cramping is completely normal - my SIL said she cramped until around 8 weeks. It's so difficult to enjoy it until you know that everything is ok, but I wouldn't be concerned about the cramps. Hopefully tomorrow's test will offer you some reassurance. Lots of luck xx

Congratulations on the positive. I understand your fears, I would advice you get some inspiring and good books or music to listen to and try to get some treats. Like going out or visiting friends or exciting places. Just to take your mind off it.

Congratulations Veekay! The af symptoms are common, I’m 8 weeks and still get them off and on. They do decrease as the weeks go by. Wishing you a very healthy pregnancy xx

Hey hun congratulations! I totally understand how you feel. I got my first ever positive last month and it hasn't properly sunk in yet. I am constantly worrying that something will happen. I had my first scan on Thursday and saw our little baby! Even after that it doesn't feel real. Currently 9 weeks. I don't think the worrying will ever stop as we tried for so long. X

Massive congratulations to you! This is completely natural, me and my husband took one day at a time, we didn’t think of end picture just each milestone! We didn’t tell anyone we were pregnant (family or friends) until after the 12 week scan and I was still frightened then! I’m 25 weeks now and still get the fear every now and again but now I can feel movement I’m more relaxed and starting to enjoy pregnancy more! It’s hard but it does get easier I promise! Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy x x x

Forgot to all say the cramps are normal. I thought it was going to start my period when I felt the cramping! X
