Anxiety through the roof!!

[SJL2609]

Hi all...so after 4 years of trying and 4 cycles of IVF...we finally got a BFP on Monday!! Cannot believe it...the only thing is, I’m so anxious, so so anxious, I’m panicking over everything and every feeling! I don’t have a scan until two weeks on Tuesday and I feel like I’m losing my mind! Any tips on how to relax etc? Xxx

Hello lovely first of all congratulations!! Such a wonderful feeling but oh yes the anxiety doesn’t end. I know the feeling we got our bfp 2 weeks ago and have our scan tomorrow. It’s not easy but I would just focus on one day at a time, keep calm, focus on looking after yourselfc give in it your body if your feel a bit off / sleep. Make some plans to keep busy and time will soon pass. Xxx

Hi SJL. Perfectly normal to feel the way you do. Just try and keep busy, with some little rests when you can. Not long to wait for your scan to meet your little "bean". Hope all continues as it should. Diane

Congratulations!! I bet you cant believe it, I'm 6 weeks and mine hasn't sunk in yet, weve been trying 6 years. I feel like I cant enjoy it until I have my scan which isnt for another 2 weeks, my clinic say to wait 3 weeks after a positive test 🙈

Not sure on how to relax but try to keep busy. Positive mental attitude will help ease the time along xx

I’m so happy for you! Congratulations 🤗 I can imagine how you must be feeling as I know I would be the same. I’ve got transfer on Friday and know that my anxiety is going to be through the roof during the weeks after.

I’ve recently started meditating and that’s really helped calmed my mind. There’s loads of good guided meditations on YouTube. I follow a lady called pura rasa. She’s even got a fertility meditation on there.

Wishing you all the luck in the world xxx

Thanks everyone! I’m trying not to stress and overthink but it’s so hard! Good luck to you all too! Xxxxx
