We had our 7 week viability scan yesterday. After having an empty sac at this point with our previous IVF pregnancy, I was an absolute nervous wreak going in.
It’s still super early days of course but to our complete surprise both our embryos have implanted and have heartbeats ☺️
One measures exactly to date, the other measures a few days behind with a smaller sac. The clinic says this is quite normal but as it’s two they’ve suggested we go back in 2 weeks for another pregnancy scan to see what’s going on in there. Just hope everything will be ok!
This was our 3rd go at IVF. Hope this gives hope to anyone who has had bad news at their viability scan, I know how heartbreaking it is.

Oh thank you lovely, I hope so too but if I’m being honest I’m feeling quite down in the dumps for the FET. Not sure why but hope I can get myself out of it!
I have my nurse consultation tomorrow so will know then about timelines but my period hasn’t even shown up yet - I’m currently day 34! My last failed cycle, my first normal period showed up on time with some spotting in between but it’s being v all over the place this time! Sorry just venting!
Hope you’re relaxing and taking it easy! Keep growing those little buns 🥰 xxx
Oh lovely, can totally understand. I always feel a sense of dread starting a new cycle. You’re putting your hopes out there again and it’s scary. FETs are easier on the body though so it might be just what you need to get success. My cycles are always all over the place due to pcos, sometimes they put me on the pill for 15 days to bring it on. Hopefully yours will come soon though. I’m rooting for you Penguin! Xxx
Thank you, still in shock. My lines are darker than the control line now and HCG is more than doubling which is reassuring. I just can’t believe it worked after this amount of time and the month after my failed transfer 🤯 x
Oh great! Yes that’s an awesome sign if stronger than the control lines! Hehe, nature works is strange ways. And lovely to know you have your embryos safely waiting if / when you wanna come back for a sibling! 😊 xx
Wow wow wow thats such fantastic news! I'm so happy for you. Early days, but a great start to the next stage of your journey. Wow twins! So many twins at the moment. Xx
Aww that’s so lovely sas. Just goes to show that every pregnancy is different. I hope you’re doing really well and I look forward to seeing your good news soon! Xx
Oh Shaza. I am so so sorry. It’s such a heartbreaking thing to go through. Please message me if you want to chat or have any questions at all. Sending lots of hugs to you at the moment xxx
I’m ok, trying to keep sane 🙈😂bean is growing so keeping my fingers crossed we make it to the 12 weeks scan (which will be 13 really lol) ❤️❤️❤️How are you feeling? Xx
Huge congratulations, it’s lovely seeing success after a long journey. I’ve read your previous post about spotting , I too had a lot between week 5 and 8, it really does make you feel like it’s all over doesn’t it. I bet you’re still trying to get your head around the fact you’re having twins. Even though we put 2 back (our final 2 Frosties) I still didn’t actually believe we would be blessed with twins due to 3 previous failures. It’s great that you’re having another scan in 2 weeks. I’m anxiously awaiting my nuchal scan on 27th. Best of luck to you and your babies xx
Thanks so much for this Savs. Yes exactly the same situation here. We’d had two previous failures (BFN, empty sac) and one that didn’t survive the thaw. We’d also done loads of clomid cycles / IUI before that and never got pregnant so this was quite the surprise!! I know it’s early days so I’m trying not to take it for granted but 🥰 Thanks for the words about spotting, it really is scary to see. Has it stopped for you now? I hope everything goes really well for you on the 27th. Let us know how you get on xxx
Enjoy the feeling , early days or not, you deserve it. Keep the positive vibes going. Your babies will be fine Yes our journeys along with so many other women on here are definitely hard. I find this site so relatable, I can’t believe I’ve only recently came across it. Yes last bleed was 8+2. Hopefully the end of it. Thanks I will let you know how I get on and will look out for your updates xxx
Congratulations. Thanks for sharing. It definitely does give hope to others. I had a blighted ovum on our first ivf round. I can imagine how nervous you was this time round . You must be so happy, enjoy every moment. Xx
Thanks so much Jokiekin! I’m so sorry you also had a blighted ovum. Is really is horrible because you feel so pregnant, it’s like your body playing a cruel trick on you. Hope you’re doing ok and everything crossed for your letrozole cycle! 🤞🏻 xx
Yes your right, nature can be cruel at times. I’m good thanks, three follicles grew with this letrozole cycle but estrogen level indicates one egg, let’s hope it a good one xx
Hey, next one is 12 weeks. Not long to go and still feeling completely normal other than tiredness 🥴. Trying to take my own advice and just relax and enjoy it. I have to keep reminding myself that seeing a heartbeat at 8 weeks is a big milestone xx
yea on the 19th (tuesday) is my scan, been so sick, can’t seem to keep any food down which makes me weak thereafter. i just keep wondering what’s going on inside me🥴
Oh lovely, that’s horrible. I know how you feel. Have you tried ice cream? I find it easy to eat and settles my nausea a bit. Also plain crisps and sparkling water. Stay hydrated as much as you can xxx
you are like the 4th person talking about icecream helping, i so want to try it but i am lactose intolerant🥴...will try crisps and sparkling water to see how it goes.thank you for the tip hun😘
We booked a 10 week reassurance scan friday, and all is going fine so far 🤞🙏 just waiting for my nhs 12 week to come through. I hope these next few weeks go well for you lovely, you deserve this! Xx
Massive congratulations!If it helps one of my twins measured exactly as he should and the other twins sac was half the size and she was a couple of days behind. I drank loads and loads of water as heart that could help the sac and 3 weeks later things had evened up loads. One twin has measured small all the way through the pregnancy but doctors were happy she was just fling her own thing and growing consistently x
Oh thanks so much for this lovely! Especially when you’ve just delivered your babies, really appreciate you taking the time to write. Yes that does reassure me lots. Bit worried about one of our sacs being so much smaller, just got to hope for the best. Will drink loads of water! Do you know when you’ll all get to go home? Xx
I’m doing really well thank you. Took a well needed break and about to start another fresh cycle next week so feeling cautiously optimistic! Just in a similar predicament as you had mentioned in one of your previous posts whether or not to transfer two embryos but after seeing your lovely news I’m thinking why not 😃 wishing you and your too little bambino’s all the best 🥰❤️ Xxx
