Just wanted to off load on here. Today I am 7 weeks pregnant and tomorrow I have my visibility scan.
I am not going to lie I am so scared. I keep fearing the worst. It’s so hard to stay positive when I am so used to getting good results and them being pulled from underneath me. ☹️
On the 14th of this month it has been a whole year since my ectopic. Maybe this is what is causing my nerves. I am being sent to EPU at my local hospital tomorrow because of my ectopic last year and I also have another visibility scan next Monday at my private clinic so I am very lucky to get to see baby 2 times in less than a week.
My pregnancy symptoms have been consistent with quite bad morning sickness and headaches I had some very light spotting 4 days ago which stopped after a few hours.
At this minute I have no reason to doubt my rainbow baby is okay but I am so scared.
This morning my anxiety has hit the roof I am so scared that something might be wrong. I had a 5AA Hatching blastocyst transfer so I am hoping my baby is very healthy and has everything it needs to survive in my womb for the next 7 months.
I want to enjoy tomorrow but I am so scared is this normal.?
Thanks everyone xxxx 😘

Hey it’s completely normal - my past two pregnancies where ruptured live ectopics (the second one was following an IVF transfer) and the Doctors suspect some of my miscarriages were probably ectopic instead. Despite losing both tubes my surgeon said I was high risk for a c section ectopic which would have just been my luck.
I was scanned on Monday at 6+2/3 - I’m surprised you weren’t scanned earlier as both mine ruptured at 6 weeks. I found out I’m having twins and both are in the right place.
I now feel even more anxious if that’s possible. Now I know they are there and have heartbeats I’m emotionally invested already and panicking that the next scan at 7+4 next week we’ll have bad news again. It’s a never ending cycle
Did you have any hcg tests done at your clinic or been monitoring with clearblue digital with weeks?
I think the reason they haven’t scanned me earlier is because they are not aware I’ve had ivf so my guess is they think I am less gone than I actually am. I will make sure I make them aware tomorrow tho. I’m sorry to hear about your past experiences it is so hard. Every step is so hard. I have not done any test for weeks because I didn’t want to obsess. I did 3 test in 3 days and they seemed to get darker. I have hgc done at 12 days after 5dt and it was in the 800s I haven’t been tested since then. It’s such a scary experience. Did both your embryos stick then 😃 that’s amazing xxxx congratulations
Ah ok. It’s my hospitals standard policy to scan at 6 weeks where there is a history of ectopic so I think they must trust us not to fudge the dates just to get seen?
My hcg was 159 at 8dp5dt and then I kept track of when I got clearblue 3+ which meant hcg over around 3000. (Not sure why though as had high and double hcg with both ectopics as they had heartbeats but it’s a habit I couldn’t break!)
Over 800 at 12DP5DT is good so hoping you get good news tomorrow
Yes I transferred two and both stuck which wasn’t expecting as PGS tested some blastocysts last year and didn’t get any normals
Aww darling, I'm sure its completely natural! Im awaiting hopeful embryo transfer on sat from first ivf cycle. I had miscarriage at 6 weeks last October from my one and only natural pregnancy . I know that if I'm ever lucky enough to get pregnant again I'm going to be a bag of nerves waiting for the worst to happen again rather than being happy and enjoying the experience. I'm not sure how we get over those feelings really 😥. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone in how your thinking but praying and hoping with everything your mind is put to rest tomorrow then hopefully at each step it gets a little easier and you can begin to enjoy it a little more. Xx
Thank you ❤️ I think we are all in the same boat. Thank god for this group I think I would lose my mind otherwise xxxx good luck with your transfer. Think positive xxxx
Hi, I really have everything crossed for you and have quite a wait for my visibility scan but try and stay positive, and see it as tomorrow will be such a big benchmark that you'll hopefully be able to relax a little after a successful scan. I am petrified at 4 weeks, and can imagine I will feel exactly the same as you do now so think it must be so natural to worry but hang in there xx
Thinking of you Faith. I know how you feel. I have my viability scan a week today & feel so scared 😔I’ve never come away with good news but trying to see that this is a different time, different circumstances etc.
Hoping for good news tomorrow for you & sending love 💗 xxx
Thank you so much. They have just called to confirm I am attending tomorrow. They have told me my partner is not allowed in. I am gutted but I understand they have to prevent covid 19 from spreading. Hope you are well ❤️ xxxx
I know it's really tough that you have to go on your own. I'm sure they'll let you take a video so you can show him when you come out.xxx
Aww bless us. Its just isnt fair. I never heard anyone i know who conceived naturally being afraid. Once they see that positive test thats that. One test and everything confirmed. For us even a positive test is giving anxiety until the next milestone. So i would see it as a milestone. You came this far!! That means you can conceive xx
