Yesterday was my OTD and I’m absolutely gobsmacked that I tested positive and a 2-3 weeks on a clearblue digital. I’m just a bit worried as I had loads of bloating and cramps last week but have woken up today feeling more myself since the cycle began. I had one really strong cramp yesterday that made me stop in my tracks and much later in the evening I saw a little bit of pink when I wiped (sorry TMI). I’m just worried something has gone wrong already. I’ve never gotten this far and feel really anxious. Has anyone had anything similar where their symptoms eased off and it was still okay?

Hi Catlady. Fingers crossed. Might just be a bit of irritation from using pessaries, if you have been prescribed them. keep drinking plenty of water and keep up with any prescribed medication. good luck! Diane
Try not to worry. You've cleared a huge milestone, and are bound to be nervous, but remember that symptoms come and go in early pregnancy 😘 Someone who hadn't done IVF and had conceived naturally wouldn't be feeling anything at this stage, so try not to worry xx
Congratulations. I had my BFP the week before last and I’m afraid the anxiety has continued for me. That seems to be normal according to the FB group I’m in. IVF is such a rollercoaster it’s hard to believe t’s real. I had all sorts of weird pains and twinges but I’m six weeks tomorrow and my cramping has eased and now I’m just absolutely exhausted and hungry all the time! I have my scan later this week. xx
Congratulations! Oh I hope all goes well at your scan. Feels like an age to wait for it! Did you have any blood tests at all? I’ve booked for Wednesday because I feel so nervous about it all xx
I did have blood tests but my hcg was low so I actually think they made my anxiety worse not better and I had to go every two days so I found it a bit exhausting and worrying. I cried when the nurse called me a week ago with my latest results and told me we should schedule a scan. I’m sure yours will be fine! x
Oh god I can only imagine! Honestly, prayed for years to see a positive test and now it’s here anxiety through the roof. Every s second worrying it’s going to be taken away 😥 xx
Congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳 I discovered that the 2WW was easy compared to the wait now between scans and milestones! Like you, my anxiety went through the roof too...and I'm now 14 weeks and it hasn't gotten better! 😅 Try to enjoy the good moments and ride out the rest as comfortably as possible. You are going to worry, and that is perfectly OK and normal! We've wanted this for so long and are so scared of losing it ... anyone would be anxious! Good luck and best wishes for you and your sticky bean! 😊
Thank you Belangalo. You’re so right I’m not sure how I’m going to pass the time but I’ll going to try my best to relax a little. I just feel so hyper sensitive to everything my body is doing now. Last week I was panicking that I was cramping, now I’m panicking that I’m not 🤯. Very best of luck to you for the rest of your pregnancy too xx
Hello, congratulations! A couple of days after my BFP on test day, I had some spotting. I freaked out but it passed. I am now almost 11 weeks pregnant now and didn't start to get symptoms or feel pregnant till 6/7 weeks. I have found my symptoms come and go. I have a had a couple scans and so far so good. Sending you lots of post vibes xx
Hi Mrs Campbelly, thank you for getting back to me. That’s helped to settle my nerves a bit. So hard to know what’s normal and what’s not, especially when everyone is different. Congratulations to you too! And very best of luck for your ongoing pregnancy xx
