Not sure whether its the fact ive been in self isolation for 5 weeks now (signed myself off work for 2ww then was poorly with OHSS so couldnt go out, not covid-19) but im just feeling super low now.
I generally had no symptoms anyway except feeling really tired. I had sore boobs a few days ago but ive woke up today and nothing. No sore boobs, no bloating. But being in and out of hospital i had beta hcg blood tests that were going up in the right direction and had a scan at 5 weeks that showed a teeny tiny sac in the womb so have had regular reassurance until now.
I just have a feeling its gone 😔 my viability scan isnt until another week and a half and self isolating with nothing to do, nowhere to go time is going so slow.
I am following Frankie Bridges sister on instagram who has had fertility treatment. Ironically exactly the same as me, egg collection, number of eggs, embryo transfer date etc. She keeps talking about how sick she feels and all these symptoms shes having and i just feel ... empty 😔
Is this a bad sign? 😢 i hate this

It's definitely not a bad thing...I didn't get sickness until on n off waves...close to 7 weeks then close to 8 weeks...certain smells bring it on...for 2 days when I didn't have it I was worried and kept me up for 3hrs (3am to 6pm) ...but honestly enjoy when it's not there...eat what you fancy because when it begins you won't fancy anything...xx try and keep busy so you don't think abt it...puzzles cooking anything xx
Oh no! I’m sorry you feel this way hun, i understand your anxiety. With symptoms you never know, it’s like when we Symptoms spot during the 2ww, its such a personal thing that we can’t really compare ourselves to others. Try keep calm and relax yourself, eat some of your favourite food ❤️Dont watch the news too often, they worsen our anxiety. Sending you lots of love xxxxx
I know .. and i’m the first one to give this advice to others. But i’m also a firm believe in ‘you know your own body’ ... i just know i’m not pregnant anymore. I feel like ive had a mmc xx
You know that I’ve just had a mmc. I had ALL the pregnancy symptoms, bloating...nausea...sore boobs....I had NO idea of what was going on. So, you see....it’s impossible to tell. I’m hoping with all my heart that you and baby are good ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Please keep your hopes up ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The body is awful at playing tricks on you 😔 im wondering if its the mind body link. I’m convinced i’m not pregnant anymore therefore i am getting no symptoms 🤷🏻♀️ 6th April seems like a really long way away, i’d just rather know now than prolong the inevitable.
No this is my viability scan with fertility clinic.
There are a few other places locally, some not open and the rest are fully booked until after i have my viability scan scheduled anyway 😔 im on cancellation lists for 2 clinics. Its just so frustrating. I’m one of these people that if there’s a problem i need it fixing NOW 😔 unfortunately life doesnt work like that xx
I totally understand you. I found out about my mmc on Monday evening, I went to EGU at the hospital on Tuesday morning and had the op on Wednesday am. At least I’ve sorted the physical issue 💔 try to keep calm anyway, you can totally be wrong! And I hope you are!
Oh I’m so sorry you feel this way is there anything you could do to distract yourself at such a hard time?even though we are isolating could you watch Netflix ,bake a cake something to ease the stress as stress is a big deal when it comes to baby making.please don’t give up yet x
Firstly congrats on your BFP. I know it’s pretty much impossible but please try as best you can not to compare your pregnancy symptoms to others they are even more unique than the differing symptoms people get in the 2ww.
I was concerned at 6 weeks too as I didn’t have much anything, just sore boobs if I pushed them from the side (which I did routinely as some sort of peace of mind ritual 😂). I definitely didn’t have nausea and sickness. At 7 weeks I had some nausea very occasionally but by 8 weeks I was full on sickness and nausea 🤢 and wishing I hadn’t wished for it.
Weeks 9-11 were the worst although even at 14+3 now I’m still sick at bedtime 🙄. Baby has been consistently 5 days bigger than expected so growing well and extremely active so please don’t let no sickness at 6 weeks make you think something must be wrong ♥️ x
Thank you so much for this! I’m doing the same with my boobs to the point im wondering if they were only sore because ive been prodding them!
Ive been bloated since egg collection and having OHSS but today ive literally woken up and my stomach is flat, i’m back in pre-ivf jeans, boobs are not sore at all. I just feel empty and flat 😔
Trying to arrange a scan before viability scan but because of bloody covid 19 everywhere is closed. Its honestly the worst time for anyone going through fertility struggles at any stage of their journey.
Congrats for reaching almost 15weeks! I pray to god this will be me 🙏🏼
Yeah the scanning places being closed is tough, I found them so reassuring so I 100% feel for you.
At least if your viability scan is next week you will definitely know if the baby is all ok, very early ones can be stressful if it’s just a day or so too early for a heartbeat etc. Mine was at 7+3 and the baby looked like a shrimp with a very clear heartbeat.
When I had my mmc it wasn’t detected until my 12 week scan but probably happened around 8.5 weeks which was not very long after being discharged from my ivf clinic. I didn’t really have a change in symptoms though, maybe was slightly less sick by 11 weeks and didn’t ever get all the veins I kept reading about on apps but I’d been hospitalised for a week with ohss so just assumed I didn’t actually have much blood.
Sending you lots of positive vibes, please do let us know how you get on. I imagine it’s even more tough to not overthink with all this social distancing but try to plan in some nice things each day to take your mind away from it all, worrying unfortunately just hurts us twice ♥️ X
Ahhh pregnancy clearly doesn't stop the worries with this journey, just brings a whole set of new ones! Please try not to worry about the lack of symptoms. If the blood tests and scan showed everything was fine, then you'll have to try and rely on that reassurance until your next scan. I know, I know, easier said than done. The wait is hard. xxxx
Hi there, just to try and help reassure you as I remember how worrying it can be. I had zero symptoms, never felt sick/nauseas, zero boob pain, zero tiredness - none of the usual pregnancy symptoms. I didn’t even look pregnant till about 24 weeks.
If it wasnt for having ivf and periods stopping - I could have easily been half way through my pregnancy without knowing.
My whole pregnancy the only symptoms I had were heart burn (constantly! 🙈) but this wasnt until about 18 weeks.
I so wanted to be sick just to have a “normal” pregnancy - but it is totally normal and healthy to be symptom free too. I think because what we have been though we look for symptoms to be reassured.
I had a very healthy/straight forward pregnancy (I like to think this was because the getting pregnant and the birth weren’t - someone was giving me a break 🙃) 🥰 xxx
I hope thats the same here .. its such a scary time. Especially now being stuck in the house .. i quite literally have NOTHING else to focus on so im constantly worried about that.
Most women when ive googled seem to be nauseous and have throbbing boobs, i’m wondering why i dont? 😔
I think I was the same, felt like I had symptoms that then went. I think the symptoms were probably a hangover from the meds and ivf process though rather than pregnancy.
I don’t think I got any proper pregnancy symptoms until about 9/10 weeks (bit of nausea was all). The symptoms were reassuring and the days I didn’t get them I panicked.
It’s a tough one to deal with, especially as once we have the initial scan we’re left alone for a long while. Fingers crossed for you for your next one xxx
You’re right. Possibly for me it was that. I had OHSS so felt huge because my ovaries were huge, maybe thats settles down now? But to me even that is a bad sign because it was the hcg that made it worse anyway 😔
I’m on a waiting list for a cancellation at a private scan clinic, i hope to god they can fit me in. I’d just rather know either way now rather than live in this limbo which is torture xx
Bless u - R u able to get couple more pregnancy test just for reassurance really to last I until the the next scan. I would guess if u have felt nothing then there’s nothing to worry about. I would of though u would of at least had a bleed if the most awful as happened. All the best hun x
I took one Thurs still positive but even if it was a missed miscarriage there would still be some hcg in my system i’m guessing so wouldnt be totally accurate 😕
A lot of women have missed miscarriages where they feel nothing, have no bleeding or signs of miscarriage but when they had a scan their baby sadly stopped growing 😔 xx
Don’t worry sunshine! I was EXACTLY the same, I was so scared to go to by viability scan, so sure there would be nothing there. I had no sore boobs, no nausea (such a strange thing to wish for nausea huh!!) and yes I was tired but i wasn’t sure if that’s because all this isolation makes me so damn lazy and that makes you tired! But...had the scan on Thursday and saw a beating 💗 , I cried I couldn’t believe it!! Some people have symptoms, some don’t, some have the earlier, some don’t, some have different symptoms pregnancy to pregnancy. There’s no standard to all of this. Try and relax and stay calm and visualize a healthy embryos growing into a baby. I also to the mindful IVF app before bed each night and find it helpful xx
Don’t worry. I was exactly the same. Once my body settled down from egg collection I had nothing. No symptoms at all until about 8 weeks and even then they would come and go which is perfectly normal. Honestly I didn’t feel pregnant until a few weeks ago and I’m nearly 22 weeks now. Even now I forget sometimes! Try not to worry. Symptoms or no symptoms it’s all normal and everyone reacts to pregnancy differently. Good luck with everything, I know it’s hard not to worry, especially with all this process puts us through but symptoms or no symptoms are no indication at all of a healthy pregnancy or not. Xx
How is this helpful I think it would have been kinder just not to post this?! Sunshine I was exactly the same, I remember saying I wished I could just get morning sickness and then a week later was in tears as I couldn't handle it! I know it's really stressful but I'm sure everything is fine lots of people don't have symptoms yet, try not to worry xx
Thank you lovely. I think infertility has just programmed us all to worry. My best friend is 11 weeks pregnant from her first month of trying and is so relaxed about everything - i’m so envious of her. Us IVF ladies are always on some sort of count down, to egg collection, to daily embryology updates, tww, viability scan 😕 its torture.
I have managed to get a scan for tomorrow, hopefully that’ll give me some answers either way xx
It is so stressful. If it helps it definitely got better for me after the 12 week scan (I know that's a long way off but you'll get there). Best of luck for today xx
Oh man don't be so hard on yourself. Maybe you one of the lucky ones who does not have any symptoms. If you went for a scan and did your hcg levels and everything was fine. Chances are everything is fine. I know we can't help but question everything but everyone's pregnancy is different. Some women have all the symptoms you can think of and otheres go threw the pregnancy with ease.
