Any advice?

I will start apologising for being a pain, all I've done this past two weeks is worry and worry about my FET. I had 2 positive pregnancy test and my viability scan is booked, however, I'm still worrying... that this ever get easier? Today 20 days after 5 days FET (5 weeks 3 days pregnant) i have had several prickling feelings throughout the day quite intense, lasting 30 seconds and then going away but is worrying me so much i have decided to do another test, however dont know whether to do it now or waiting until the morning.. I know I'm probably exaggerating and I'm sorry for it, thanks for everyone who read this and supports. Lots of love to you all xx

I’m 5w4d with my surrogate, we hadn’t tested since 12dp5dt which is extremely restrained for me! We did another on Sunday at 20dp5dt and the clearblue said 3+ weeks and the FRER was a blazing positive dye stealer. It did really reassure me, we are now at peak test, as I know that the clearblue can’t go any further, and the FRER will start to be affected by the hook effect.

Our surrogate just did it on Sunday afternoon, just for fun, whereas all previous tests were FMU. So I think you can do it whenever, your hcg should be high to not matter. Just make sure you’ve not peed for 4 hours if you do it tonight. Good luck!xx

Hi, Im so glad you posted this as I’m in a really similar position. Am 5 wks 1 day and scan booked for 11th December. I haven’t had any blood tests and none planned but I’m just desperate for something to reassure me. Was considering doing another HPT but wasn’t sure if there was any point. I’m also just scared to.

I’m not in constant pain or anything but definitely getting lots of twinges and pains.

Sorry, this isn’t any help to you, just sharing my worries!

I hope you get the reassurance you need! X

[Nat1302 in reply to Cassie_56]

Yes me too, i get lots of twitches and pains throughout the day, nothing major but I got worried this morning.. it is ok to share the worries i kind of feel better thank you xxxx

[Cassie_56 in reply to Nat1302]

Have you decided when to test? X

[Nat1302 in reply to Cassie_56]

I will probably test in the morning xx

Nat1302 i’m also glad you posted. I got my positive result on Friday, with my scan scheduled for 18th December. I’m not taking any pessaries which I read other people were advised to take until 12 weeks but my clinic just told me to finish what I had.

I just want time to go quicker so I will know if everything is ok. I know I’ll still worry throughout but just feels like the scan is the next milestone to get to. I’ve been finding it difficult to sleep as I’m anxious about the scan hoping everything is ok and it’s not an ectopic pregnancy. Googling things really doesn’t help. X

Ive done it, could not wait anymore and also i wiped myself and i could see a bit of brown, it says pregnant 3+ so that must be a good sign, I hope the brown spotting is cause by the Cyclogest or is normal xx

[LSandJ in reply to Nat1302]

Yay!!! I was just reading this and thought if you were 3+ it really wouldn’t matter when you tested!! So glad it’s still there and reassuring for you! Twinges and prickling feelings is completely normal and should actually also be a bit reassuring that something is changing and developing down there! They can vary in strength so you may just be feeling them a bit, but they are actually a good sign! Only severe pain (and I mean really severe) is something to get checked out!

Good luck for your scan!!!

[Sas1101]

Nat I feel exactly the same. It's such a tough wait until that viability scan. Congrats on the 3+ all sounds like it's going in the right direction 🤞🏻🎉 xx
