SCAN wait after the 2WW

[Ivf2]

Everyone says TWW is so hard. But what about the wait for the first scan 2 weeks after the positive beta. That is harder. I am on a rollercoaster. Want to be happy and celebrate but on the same hand so concerned and hard to wait for Oct 5 scan. Anyone feels the same that this wait is under-rated! Are you guys able to relax peacefully until scan? Just checking is it just me going crazy.

No, you are not the only one going crazy 😉I’m having the beta test on Tuesday xxx lots of hugs to you xxx

We focus on getting that BFP and I don't think any of us are prepared for the wave of anxiety that comes with it. I hope the time doesn't drag too much and the scan shows everything progressing nicely xxx

Ivf journey is all about wait and panic situation and there is no time when we can enjoy being pregnant like normal way conceived women and we always have fear what will happen and hope everything stays good etc, I t does not matter first 2 weeks wait and after that 2 weeks scan wait and after that 12 weeks and it carry on 20 weeks upto delivery time, am 31 weeks and still waiting for another scan and when that will be over nicely I will be worried upto next scan and I think this whole journey is about wait and worry but you know what God is there and He love is soooo much and He is the one who can help and protect us including those little souls in us, May Allah almighty bless us all and give us beautiful rewards Ameen

To be fair every step in TTC and carrying a pregnancy through is hard. Its all an obstacle to overcome.. and with each milestone we sigh with relief only to face another lol. I have 2 days until my scan.

It's so hard. So so hard! I ended up having so many scans because I got so anxious waiting for the next scan! I started seeing a counsellor after my first round to help with the anxiety between scans and it really helped.

When you've been through so much to get to this stage, it's understandable to feel nervous. You're not crazy (unless we all are!)!

Don’t worry I think this is really normal! Each milestone is a high, followed by another tough and anxious wait. All I can say is the further on you are, the easier it gets. I was literally counting down until 12 weeks, when I started to relax a bit, then 20 weeks and only then could start to enjoy it. Try to focus on the positive (literally!) and enjoy this special time. Congratulations on your pregnancy! xx

I'm the nanny on here girls 😁. My daughter has the BFP. the scan date is next week and she's so tense I've packed her off to my caravan in Skegness to chill. She's done 20, pregnancy tests now and is so snappy. I'm conscious of how difficult this is but want to keep her as stress free as possible to keep her cortisone down as this is not good for developing little geniuses my advise to you all is be kind to your mind and body try to relax and keep the good chems flowing to your baby. What will be is nature we have no control and stress and worry won't change the outcome of the scan. Enjoy everyday. The good and the bad it's part of your journey sending love and support to each and everyone of you

Love the nanny xx

I know!!!! Well, every part of this is hard.... there's so much waiting at all parts, but i'm struggling with the wait for the first scan also. Although in normal pregnancy world they all just wait for the first scan at 12 weeks and assume everything is okay up until then! And just one generation ago the first scan was even longer than 12 weeks (according to our two mums - might not be a representative sample). CAN NOT wait for that first scan, but also super anxious about it. xxxx

Thank you for supportive messages really helped a lot. Focusing on - enjoying these weeks as body adjusts to a new life.

- don’t be fooled by the lack of baby bump: baby is already growing fast and developing many of its features.

My scan is not until 15/10/20! I know how you feel! I’m quite asymptomatic too so hard to believe I’m actually pregnant. I’ve just bought beta test home kits to double check!

My clinic won’t give me a scan until I am 8 weeks pregnant. I am currently 5 weeks 6 days and having gone through 3 previous MC around this time I am struggling. I am even having dreams about MC! I get that at 6, 7 or even 8 weeks nothing is guaranteed but having to wait another 2 weeks is torture!
