** Updated 😢 ** Why is the viability scan more terrifying than OTD?

[My_Miracle_Is_Here]

I have my viability scan tomorrow and I’m so scared. I finally got my Clear Blue 2-3 weeks at 5+1 and decided to never use one again!

I have zero symptoms which makes me nervous as my last ivf pregnancy I had awful sickness from 5weeks (although it was twins). I’ve had no bleeding at all. I just still feel my HCG is too low. Every pregnancy is different. But I’m definitely more stressed with this scan than I’ve ever been throughout the whole of my IVF experience.

** Update 😢 ** Ectopic. Implanted in my cervix which is very very rare.

So just like that, it’s all over, again.

Good luck with your scan tomorrow. The CBD sent me loopy, I got 2-3 on OTD and it went to 3+ when I was 5+3, then I stupidly did another at 6 weeks with an afternoon urine and it went back to 2-3, I was devastated, I did a final one the following morning at 3:30 and it went back to 3+ but I’ve also decided to never use them again. It caused me too much anxiety.

I had my viability scan yesterday at 6+3 and my baby was measuring at 6+2 and we saw a good little heartbeat. I don’t think your anxiety will ever go away but you will feel some relief when you see your baby tomorrow xxx

I also have no symptoms, the ones I do have are from the progesterone pessaries I feel. Xxx

I don’t have any advice I’m afraid as I’ve never had a positive test (yet 🤞🏻) but wanting to wish you lots of luck for tomorrow and I hope it puts your mind at ease! ❤️

I see you and feel you! It's incredible how different two IVF pregnancies can start. In the very same woman! You're worried about no bleeding at all (I guess that means you had some at the first successful pregnancy), while I hadn't a single drop of blood when I got pregnant with my son, and am now worried because now I had bleeding for a week from 5dpt to 12dpt 🙈 My scan is in a week... 🙊 Last time I didn't want that early scan (I'm not too fan of ultrasound "just for fun"), but gave in for fear at 10w, so I had it at 10+5 (and everything was well), but now, with this bleeding and stuff I definitively want that scan next week! Crossing fingers for us both ❤

Thank you! I totally get why not having a scan can be mentally easier. I’d never tested early until this round and it drove me crazy. Yes I has a small amount of watery pink fluid at 5 weeks with my first IVF pregnancy and my clinic said it sometimes happens with twins.

Wishing you lots of positivity with your scan too xx

Easier said than done but try to look forward to it because as soon as you see that little tiny heart beating away tomorrow a lot of this your feeling now will naturally fade, I was in the same position at my viability scan I had not one symptom until around 30+ weeks when reflux started and that was literally it, I'm now sat with my perfect 13 week old daughter in my arms, good luck, I'm sure everything will be just fine xx

Thank you! I’ve managed to keep myself busy all day and feeling much better now. Less than 24 hours to get through now 🙈😊 Those early days baby cuddles are the best. Congratulations xx
