Seven weeks today, scan on Monday

[LuxFleur]

Today I am 7 weeks, that is if I am still pregnant of course.

My second scan is on Monday to see if we can hear the heartbeat, when I will be 7 weeks and 5 days. I am hoping that if everything looks normal at that scan, then I will be able to relax somewhat. I haven't gotten anything done since I found out two weeks ago.

My husband and I have been having a hard time getting along during all of this. For now he has gone to stay somewhere else for the month, even though we are already abroad for IVF and can't afford it. He would get mad for no reason and be mean, not letting me get the sleep I need. Fatigue has been my biggest symptom. I suddenly need at least 10 hours of sleep. I wish he could get over himself and just be supportive, but oh well. Trying not to panic about it.

Hi LuxFleur,

Hoping your impending scan gives you the reassurance you need. Mine is still almost 2 weeks away, it's really tough. No offence to anyone still waiting for their BFP but personally I am finding this even harder than the 2ww.

Sorry to hear you and your husband aren't getting along too well. It's a highly stressful time. Take care of yourself xx

I came to right the same thing! That 2ww was nothing compared to waiting for the scan.

Regarding your husband.. they don’t know what we have to go through and how all the meds are affecting our body. I would advise you to leave him as he is and just concentrate on yourself for now. You don’t need any extra negativity in your life at the moment; at least you’ve got this forum to share your worries and news! Your husband will come to his senses soon xx

Hi LuxFleur. I always preferred to do 7 weeks scans, as you get to see little one’s heartbeat. Hopefully, things will be better between you once done. Thinking of you. Diane

Hi LuxFleur,

I’m due my scan next Thursday and when I read your post I’m like thank god I’m not the only one.

It’s amazing getting the BFP and I’m so grateful but it’s been really tough. It’s like one obstacle after another with IVF. I’m hoping that after Thursday, If it’s good news I can relax a bit.

It’s been a hard few weeks and I can’t say very enjoyable, I’ve been down my husbands throat for most of it. I’m hoping that’s hormones and a good sign. I also still scenario google everything 🙈

Wishing you lots of luck for Monday ❤️

Thank you! Best of luck to you as well. It is hard indeed. So much stress, and then the hormones wipe you out or wind you up as well.
