Just wanted to update you on my viability scan as when I was waiting for it I was desperate to see positive stories (especially with no symptoms like me).
So we had it on Tuesday at 6 weeks 5 days, and we saw the sac, foetal pole and a tiny flickering heartbeat (that looked like a dancing hula girl for some reason)
I’ve literally had no symptoms except feeling tired and we all know that is the meds…
Next scan is at 8.5 weeks so the worry is ramping up again but I feel a tiny bit happier going in to this one.
Wishing everyone lots of luck wherever you are in your cycles xxx

Aww I bet! The only thing I've noticed really is that I've barely lost a single hair in the last 3 weeks. Normally I'm digging handfuls out of the plug after a shower - so I'm clinging on to this! xx
Hi lovely so happy for you! In terms of symptoms I did feel a bit off but it went so soon that for the majority of the time my pregnancy was symptomless. By the visibility scan. I felt normal so like you felt worried and everything was fineI have also seen a number of ladies on here who have had symptomless pregnancies even with twins and everything was good.
Definitely! I just always assumed pregnancy would always come with the sickness etc so it was new to me and seeing other ladies the same that it’s definitely not always the case. Still now I feel very normal. Yes the best thing to do it take one day at a time, take it easy and remember your scan as it’s a very positive start xxx
Exactly! I remember being told I was lucky as I didn’t have sickness etc but part of me wishing I did almost for peace of mind.Again having symptoms doesn’t confirm anything. That little heartbeat you seen that’s the amazing thing that gives hope more than anything. Thanks lovely yes 32 weeks on Thursday crazy how it’s flying now and everything is currently on track. Any day you feel like you are having a wobble feel free to message as I know sometimes it’s hard for the mind not to go into overdrive xxx
That's so kind - thank you! It's so up and down isn't it. One minute I feel confident all will be fine, then my mind tells me it might not.... argh!!Gosh 32 weeks!! That has flown by - so exciting! xxx
Lovely news Millbanks. 🤩😘 Glad all is going as it should at this stage. Scans are a stressful time but your in the same position as any other pregnant woman now. Try and "trust in your body".......thats what my acupuncturist said to me. Hard I know. 😘 You've got this 🌈💪 Xxx
Thank you - I love this. It's hard to remember that but I keep telling myself there is no reason that it won't keep growing.... it's hard learning to trust your body again after going through so much!! Hope you're doing well my lovely xxx
Absolutely fantastic news Millbanks! Honestly the comfort of the scans only last a couple of days for me and then I’m back on the worry train so totally get how you feel. I’ve got my 12 scan on Friday and I can already feel the stress rising! You’re doing fantastic ❤️ xx
Thank you!! And you too - so pleased for you! Yep the comfort really only does last for a short while doesn't it... But there is no reason why it won't continue to grow..... we've got this xxx
Yay! Fab news lovely - so pleased for you! I know it’s hard to not have symptoms but definitely enjoy - I think mine only kicked in around 7.5 weeks so they could be just around the corner for you haha xxx
Haha it’s a weird moment when you do feel sick and you’re happy but also feeling miserable 😆 but also enjoy not having any if that’s what ends up happening for you! So so pleased for you - what’s the date of the next scan?
I’m good hun, 35 weeks tomorrow which is exciting! Can’t believe the end is close now - definitely looking forward to having baby here and being able to sleep on my back again 😂 xxx
It’s ludicrous really!! Scan next Tuesday-eeeeek! I feel like I might be able to relax a bit more after that one but then who knows hey!Wow 35 weeks! I swear that has flown by! I bet you can’t wait. So excited for you xxx
Ahh have everything crossed for next Tuesday and will keep an eye for your update 🤞🏽❤️ I found it very difficult to fully relax (bloody infertility will do that to you!) and had lots of scans between finding out I was pregnant and my 12 week scan. I think I only fully relaxed after I could start feeling baby’s movements which unfortunately for me didn’t come until 22 weeks and even now I do have silly worries in my head.
Definitely take one day at a time, it’s so hard as it feels like your body has failed so much in the past (at least that’s how I felt!) but you are strong and you have got this 💪🏽
Haha yes it definitely has, particularly the last 10 weeks or so have really flown! I need it to slow down so I can appreciate these last few weeks but I know he’s going to be here before I know it so I need to get my (incredibly slow and tired) butt into gear! Xxx
Thank you ❤️ Yes I’m trying to enjoy it as much as possible. Every morning I wake up and my brain goes “I’m pregnant 😮” so it’s slowly sinking in. Oh bless you. I’m tired already so I can’t imagine how exhausted you must be! But still, we’ll take it if it means we get our dream 😬💖
Really happy for you and great to hear you have another scan so soon. I know what it is like to be on tenterhooks between scans. Please try not to worry about no symptoms as no two pregnancy is the same. Seeing a heartbeat is a very good sign. All the best 🙏🏾
Hiya lovely. I'm not too bad thanks for asking. I have found out that I have high red and white cells atm so im hoping to get it sorted before going ahead next month 🤞 xx
I have been on antibiotics at first but they are doing more tests to see what is what. Hopfully will know more soon. I have provisionaly booked my treatment for next month too 😬 xx
Hi, I was the same as you, zero symptoms until 8 weeks and then got nausea and extreme tiredness. One day, I fell asleep whilst looking after my little boy. This had never happened to me before!! Best of luck for the rest of your pregnancy.
That's so good to hear! I am pretty tired to be fair. Thank you xx
Sounds like it’s a great start love. Try and enjoy the wait with just being “pregnant” and don’t think about any bad stuff. It’s a shame that all of us on here get robbed of that blissful Ignorance stage, so try and reclaim it, as much as you can xxx
Aww I know - we've been through so much we deserve to enjoy it but it's so hard! We're all so programmed to worry about every little thing... I have told myself that after my next scan (given that everything is ok) I'm going to start believing it.... we'll see! xxx
Fantastic news, congratulations 💗 I have my viability scan on Thursday and have have felt like I'm back in the tww. The anxiety is hard to ignore! Also feeling pretty symptomless. Desperately hoping for good news on Thursday
Thank you! Not to diminish how hard the 2ww is but this is almost worse because there is now something tangible to lose. I completely underestimated how hard this bit would be. I always thought that getting the BFP would just be the be all and end all. How wrong was I.I've got everything crossed for you on Thursday. You've got this xx
Aww thank you! Did you decide what to do about the LIT therapy? It was something I was looking in to as a next step if our last transfer hadn't worked. xx
Yep I went for it. Ive had the first dose already & the second will be on the 2nd of September followed by my frozen transfer 2 weeks later. I just thought I’d rather do it all & pray for the best then not & kick myself if another transfer failed.
My PGS test have come back 4/6 normal 🎉 so like you I don’t think the embryos have been the issue!
I’m also having steroids & intralipids for the NK cells & positive ANA - I think they’ve said the itralipids il have one before embryo transfer and another if I get a BFP? Steroids starting when I start my progesterone.
Oh well done! I totally agree - we threw the kitchen sink at it this time.That's great news about your embryos - so yes, completely think it must be immune issues....
I had 1 intralipid session the day before transfer, then another at 6 weeks - I'll have another after my 8 week scan providing all is ok. I'm on 20mg prednisolone a day (from the start of progesterone).
Hey lovely, not another scan this week.. my last scan was a week ago today. Everything looked fine but baby b still hiding 🙈I'm 10 weeks this Sunday now. It's going soo quickly.
Will you have another scan now before your 12 weeks ?
Brilliant news! Really hope all still on track and you’re doing ok. Am rooting for you so much - a steroids/intralipids result that’s helping to build my hope up for our next attempt (have decided to do both so thank you so much for your helpful advice on that!). Keeping everything crossed for you xx
Ah that’s great news 😬 you’ve got the ERA timing and a PGS embryo right? All these things combined was the key for us 🥰 I’ve got everything crossed for you xxxThank you, everything ok so far. 8.5 week scan on Tuesday so hoping all progressing as it should be xx
Yep ERA and PGS ticked so really really hope this next one is the key for us too (bit worried about what it means for us if not but trying not to think too far ahead eek) - good luck for your next scan x
Don’t think about that yet. There are lots of other tests that can be done if needs be but I think these are the most important 👍🏼 When do you start prep for transfer? Xx
