How to get through the wait for viability scan

Hi all. I had a strong positive pregnancy blood test one week ago and my viability scan is booked for another two weeks time. I thought I had a bit of mild nausea last week but it lasted one day only and since then I’ve felt mostly fine! Boobs are also less sore than they were initially although still tender and have grown. I haven’t had any bleeding or spotting. I’m just wondering what if anything other women felt during weeks 5-7 of their pregnancies? I feel like this wait is harder than the tww after embryo transfer! Any tips appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I agree with you it's hard but this fertility journey isn't easy, I assure you that even after a positive viability scan you will find something imaginary to worry about. So just take it one day at a time.

Hi NS8179,

It’s totally normal to feel the way you’re feeling! I felt pretty much normal until 6 weeks and then the nausea kicked in and tiredness. Everyone is different though so try not to worry about everything, although I know that’s impossible to do!

I found the wait for the scan harder than the 2ww but just take it one day at a time. You’ve beaten the most difficult odds and now the numbers are in your favour, try to focus on that. Big hugs and congratulations ♥️ xxx

Hi NS. All the "twinges" you've been having are all probably just down to all your meds working their way out of your body. Hopefully your scan is booked and you don't have too long to wait. Thinking of you. Diane

No tips I’m afraid but just wanted to say congratulations! (I think I must have missed your BFP post!). Keep going, you are doing great and lots of luck for your scan xxx

Make time for things you enjoy then the wait will seem really quick!

Best of luck!
