Feeling it all at the moment

[LauraShe10]

Hi all. I'm currently a week past my TWW and got our BFP then. My first scan is in just one more week. I'm needing to vent a bit as I'm feeling everything at the moment. I've never been so hormonal, moody, exhausted and generally wrung out.

I saw friends on the weekend to celebrate and have offended them by not really enjoying myself as I was too exhausted and moody to get into the spirit. It didn't help they all decided to get ridiculously drunk which is no fun for the sober exhausted pregnant friend!! They are great friends and have been supporting me through this whole journey, but I feel like they have forgotten I'm now into a new stage of this journey, and just because the BFP came it doesn't stop the worry. And the hormones don't help.

I know the first 12 weeks are the worst for hormones so I've said I'm just going to hide away and be a hermit until I stop feeling so horrible. Which of course upset my friends even more as they now think I'm telling them they can't let loose around me.

Along with all of this is the feeling of guilt for feeling miserable. I should be on top of the world, we've been working towards this BFP for 8 years and it's finally happened. But all I feel is emotional and exhausted. And I'm so worried about our first scan in a weeks time. I just want confirmation from the doctor this little baby is there and doing what it should be.

Does this ever end? The worry, the emotions, and friends not really understanding?

Hey 👋

Be kind to yourself, your scan will be soon. I would try relax as your body is working very hard.

Unfortunately it didn’t work this time for me. On my official test day my HCG levels were low and I went back the next week and they were 0 😢 I’m so lucky for my DD first fresh transfer. I still have another frostie 🤞🏼

I would maybe just meet your friends for coffee and leave them to do the partying. Enjoy your bubble xxx
