How to live with the 24/7 crippling fear that these tiny no of cells might not make it?

I’m really struggling with this. What’s happening, how are things going in there? It’s the only thing I can think about. The hope vs the reality of something going wrong that I’m not going to know about for weeks is really messing with me 😢

You feel so helpless dont you? 😔 its the worst feeling of not being in control, time feels like its at a complete stand still. Not wanting to allow yourself to be hopeful, but also not being able to help those tiny feelings of hope creeping in.

Try and get yourself out of the house to keep your mind busy.

Wishing you all the luck in the world xx

When’s your scan? I booked bloods last week and this week and an early scan just to keep me going ! Otherwise I would be waiting around for 4 weeks for my 8 week scan with all these thoughts and nerves x

Hi lizzybee. Oh it is so tough for you ladies waiting and wondering. Have a rest when you can and keep up with any prescribed medication and look forward to your scan so that you can see all is well. Thinking of you. Diane
