Is everything okay after BFP?

[JLB2]

I am probably worryng about nothing and over thinking everything at the minute.

We had transfer 22nd july, BFP 4th August which said 1-2 weeks. Used online IVF dating thing which said i am currently 6 week 4 days.

I havnt been having any symptoms except slightly sore boobs so decided to do another test. Test was still positive and said 2-3 weeks. I am sure I am worrying about nothing but according to the clearblue instructions that puts me at 4-5 weeks pregnant. I am now just worried that my hcg levels are not high enough or that our little bean isnt growing right.

I feel like i am over thinking things and that its nothing to worry about but all i seem to be doing at the moment is worrying about everything.

We have our viability scan 28th and I cant wait , just to know that everything is okay.

Sorry to go on. I know i am hugely lucky to get a BFP on our first transfer but am finding the wait to the scan worse that the 2ww.

I really wouldn’t worry hun. My ivf predicted date was different to my actual nhs due date. I also worried until the 7week viability scan. It’s hard not to after going through what you’ve gone through. I know it’s hard but try and relax, that little bean is there! I was always ringing the fertility nurses and they’re great for reassurance if you are unsure about anything Congratulations! X

Thank you. I guess i didnt even think about this time waitinf between testing and scan. Was just worried about the 2ww and getting to a BFP and disnt think about what happened after that.

I know. The focus is to just get that positive pregnancy test! I didn’t think beyond that either. Am afraid the worrying does not stop (I worried about the 7week scab, 12 week, 20 weeks, lack of movement, birth etc.... I’m still worrying now and check multiple times during the night to see if my son is still breathing. All I can say is to try and enjoy the journey and being pregnant. X

Congratulations on your bfp! If you can, I would try to stop testing and googling if you don’t have any other problems like spotting etc. It really doesn’t tell you anything about your current situation and you’ll no doubt read about loads of negative outcomes because that is when people tend to ask the internet. It’s much easier said than done though I know too well!

Also remember not everyone gets symptoms. You could try calling your clinic for some reassurance?

I’m currently driving myself crazy at 5+3 weeks but I’m going to ring the clinic tomorrow and see what they say. If I get through the next few days ok I’m going to try to plan something little for each day to try to get me through the next couple of weeks. This site is great for support as well.

Best of luck xxx

Heyyy. I’m a similar time to you, ivf calculator puts me at 7 weeks tomorrow. Everyone is different, so many people have no or little symptoms.

I’ve had extreme exhaustion been absolutely shattered in the mornings but it’s easing up and started some morning sickness past week for a hour or so.

I totally agree defo the worst wait, I honestly am second guessing every twinge and so scared about any little cramp I get. It’s so torturous isn’t it, but we are so lucky like you say it’s a beautiful place to Be in just so scary.

Can you have a private scan done to put your mind at rest to save waiting another 10 days? The clearblue tests only go up to 3+ weeks anyway, and maybe your irony just wasn’t that concentrated at the time. Wishing you all the luck Hun. X x x

I did look at having an early scan but think im going to try and hold off. I think i am just worrying about everything and over thinking things. Going to try and have 10 good days of being happy and grateful for where we are right now.

Hope you have a happy pregnancy. X

Good for you!! Some days I wake up and feel absolutely normal eg today. So it’s totally different early on isn’t it. Such a good positive attitude. I’m ok just worrying about everything like you say it’s just so hard. Xxxxx

Hey congratulations on your pregnancy. It's important to start enjoying every day. If you don't have any nausea or sickness congratulations! You are lucky 😆 although it may start soon.

You are pregnant and I would focus on this wonderful time xxxx

Don’t think clear blue shows beyond the 2-3 weeks anyway

Congratulations on your BFP. I am in a similar situation the IVF calculator puts me at 7 weeks but have no symptoms at all just a bit tired. My sister in law said she felt the same during her pregnancy and lots of people she knows had no symptoms either, so trying to say positive. Have been doing the IVF mindfulness app for the 1st trimester which is helping a bit. X x

Congratulations!! I'm currently 11+2 and I'm still worried!! I've been referred for consultant care so was lucky enough to get an extra scan today. That will keep me calm for about 2 days!! Try to relax and enjoy it!! I'm trying!!!!
