Viability scan tomorrow 😬

[Helensafc]

Hey everyone

So I have my viability scan coming up tomorrow and i will be 7 weeks and, oh my god I'm so nervous and expecting the worst. I had a miscarriage in June and all my scans it was measuring behind and rubbish news and the thought of going through that again is just making me nervous

I just need positive advice because I'm just so sure it's gunna be bad news I had low HCG at 66 but then rose to 227 so it was rising well!

Anyone got one coming up or just had one and want to share

Xx

I’ve got another 2 weeks to go until mine. My clinic are making we wait till I’m 8 wks and it’s so difficult to not imagine the worst, isn’t it? I’m just trying to keep myself busy and stay calm.

Try not to let your thoughts run wild in your head and find a way to distract yourself if possible.

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow xxx

Thank you, yes this wait is almost as hard as the 2ww for the beta!What was your beta results? Xxx

I haven’t had any bloods since before my transfer. My clinic doesn’t seem to do them. I’ve done three clear blue tests though and the weeks indicator has gone up each time so that is reassuring me.

Hey Helen. Just wanted to wish you good luck for tomorrow. I don't have any words of wisdom unfortunately. I had my viability scan today and didn't get the news I was hoping for. I hope you have better luck than I have 🥰 xx

Thank you for your reply and your well wishes. I'm so sorry to hear that you got bad news I hope that you are okay and things get better xxx

I had mine today and although the clinic sonographer made it very clear she wasn't remotely interested in the whole thing and was just generally quite unpleasant (why, in that job and given where she works?), after a lot of pressing from me, it seems like everything's thankfully ok. I was imagining the worst and was preparing myself so it's nice to feel this relief, even if it will probably be short-lived. Best of luck for tomorrow! 🍀

Hi Helen

I have my 7 week scan next Friday .... but ended up have an emergency one yesterday after spotting on Monday.... no detectable heartbeat but was told that's not unusual at 6 weeks so fingers crossed.....

Wishing you all the luck in the world xxxx

I’ve got mine today too, I’m so nervous!I’ll be just over 7 weeks, I’ve not had a miscarriage before but have had an unsuccessful transfer so this is my first scan.

I’m hoping the fact I feel sick and tired most of the time is a good sign.

Good luck for yours today! X

Hi 👋 I have my first 7 week scan next Friday. Can I ask a real silly question, this is my first ever ICSI treatment, I have done 3 tests last week and all positive. But I don’t ‘feel’ pregnant. Does that make sense? Have you had any symptoms? How do you get the HCG readings, who did those? I’m hoping I’m just being silly and irrational because of my anxiety but I honestly don’t know what to expect and the nurses at the hospital aren’t that approachable 🤦‍♀️

Wishing you all the luck for tomorrow xx

Hey Lovely, not silly questions at all I've been asking these all the time on these forums!

I don't feel pregnant either I've had minimal most of the time no symptoms so don't worry about it everyone is different in the way they feel! Is your clinic not offering you a HCG test? you should ask them about it if they haven't mentioned it. My clinic does one 2 weeks after transfer mine was low at 66 then did a repeat 48 hours later and it was 227 hence why maybe we aren't really feeling pregnant? it was the nurse at the clinic who done mine.Honestly I would hassle them if I were you if they are being unapproachable at the end of the day its your baby you need all the answers you can this is such a hard time for you!

the anxiety is the worst part of this process I've been a wreck this past month during it all just with worry its completely normal to be feeling this but I really do wish you every bit of luck with this one and your scan next week! xxx

Thank you so much for your response, it’s reassuring to know that we’re not alone in this xx

Just wanted to wish you luck. I was beside myself for mine. I feel emotional just thinking about it. I had a private one because the hospital where I had my treatment wouldn’t give me an appointment for my viability scan until 10 weeks and I couldn’t wait that long. I found it helped that I told them how nervous I was (after previous MMC), so they were understanding and gave me a thumbs up quite quickly, and I also tried to focus on my breathing as much as poss. Wishing you loads of luck x
