Pre viability scan nerves!

[LJT22]

So thankful for our BFP and beta results but honestly this wait is killing me now I keep thinking am I still pregnant, is baby growing, is it’s heart beating. Seems like such a long wait I’m 5+3 and have over 2 weeks to go until my viability scan.

Any tips on staying positive during this time? I’m poking my boobs every 30 seconds to make sure they are still tender and breathing a sigh of relief every time I go to the loo and don’t see blood 😵‍💫

Positivity and baby dust to all ❤️

Oh, hun, we've all been there, haven't we ❤ Keep yourself busy doing nice, 2ww-friendly activities as light gardening, going for walks in the neighborhood or in a nearby forest, going to the movies, having a cuddle with your OH, tidying up that mess that was laying there for months (I'd have plenty of that sort of stuff 🙈🙈🙈) and similar things. I am at this moment supposedly 6w4d and will have my scan next Tuesday. It seems as forever, but well, I'll be busy dealing with a cold and taking care of my son (also an IVF baby) who will turn 2y this spring, so hopefully 5th April comes before I even realise 🤩

Distraction and lots of sleep is my only advice. I'm right there with you, I'm now on the eve of my scan but it's been a hard time. Days where I feel symptoms I feel happy and days where they're not there I'm sure it's all gone wrong.

But my husband just said to me yesterday if I worry and stress now and it goes wrong I'm suffering twice. I know it's easier said than done but try and enjoy feeling pregnant now and hopefully it will continue 💕💕💕

I wish you all the best ✨

Hi! I can totally understand you. In December I had a chemical so my first week after finding out the second transfer worked killed me mentally. I molested my boobs every day, thousands of times a day. But some days they were sore and some days normal. The symptoms come and go, that's not a sign of something bad happening. So I tried to take each day at a time and be grateful for every day I wake up pregnant. Went on walks with my hubby, played board games. Took naps and I'm still taking them. And my best friend Netflix. He never let's me down.

And the part with going to the toilet and be relieved when I don't see blood, still goes strong even now at 9 weeks. I don't know if I'll ever be able to fully relax.

Hello lovely. We are exactly the same (I am 5.4 today!) and I totally empathize with the nerves. One thing helping me is I try to wake up and think "As far as I know, I'm pregnant today". I also haven't done any further pregnancy tests as I don't want all those little spikes in anxiety. I'm trying to do lots of little projects around the house to keep busy. Decluttering is my favourite! What date is your scan? Mine is 8 April. xxx
