First scan after IVF and not heartbeat.

[Alepe]

Good evening I would like to share my story. I did an IVF and I went for my first scan yesterday. I am supposed to be 8 weeks. They saw the sac and yolk and the embryo but not the heartbeat. The embryo is just 6 mm, so for them, I am 6 weeks. They told me to wait another week to see how the situation changes. I am not okay at all. I feel super sad and worried. We have already had different treatments but all without results, and for the first time, we have reached this stage. Has anyone been in this situation?

Sounds super stressful. Have you had any counselling? Does your clinic offer any? Really sorry you are going through this. Be kind to yourself!

[Alepe in reply to Savvy_teapot]

Thank you for answering... no I didn't have any counselling because I thought until now that I could cope with all situation and my hope was helping. But now after this other experience, I really feel down and without the right energy. On Monday I will look for it. 🙏

[Savvy_teapot in reply to Alepe]

It might help but it isn't always right for everyone. Do you have a partner too? Or a friend that can offer support. It is a lot to shoulder on one person. 💜

[Alepe in reply to Savvy_teapot]

My partner is just amazing, but I feel is too much also for him. I will try to speak with a counselling and see if it will work.

Hopefully everything will be OK dear. That's my biggest fear I'm having my first scan 30 aug. Waiting

[Alepe in reply to Hidden]

Don't put negative thoughts in your mind, you don't know yet. Distract yourself as much as you can. Sending love and hugs Xxx

I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. The same thing happened to me last week. I had to wait a week for the follow up scan but sadly they confirmed there was still no heartbeat and now I'm waiting to miscarry. I really hope that you have better news but I know how awful the next week of waiting will be for you. Nothing I say will make it easier but as people said to me, try to be kind to yourself. It was one of the most difficult weeks of my life. Sending love and hugs to you and praying you get good need next week. Xxx

[Alepe in reply to ButtercupGarden]

Thank you so much for your answer. I really appreciate it. May I ask something else? Did you start to lose your pregnancy symptoms during that week? My body is so strange. You are right, it's the worst week of my life too. A lot of anxiety and bad emotions. Sending love and hugs to you as well. Be strong and, as you said to me, try to keep being kind to yourself. We need to be strong even though it is so hard. ❤️

[ButtercupGarden in reply to Alepe]

It was hard to tell what symptoms were caused by the progesterone pessaries and what were pregnancy related, but the fatigue definitely started to go away. My boobs still hurt now but I still have pretty high HCG levels so I guess some symptoms will continue for a while. I hope your story is more like yep568's than mine! Xxx

[Alepe in reply to ButtercupGarden]

Same here, I can't understand my symptoms anymore. Try to keep strong and be kind with yourself. Thank you for the support.❤️

I’m really sorry to hear that. I went for a scan at 7 weeks and they couldn’t see a heartbeat and the nurse said they didn’t use to have scans that early on because it’s not always clear at that stage and women would get very worried. I had to wait a week and I know how stressful it can be… I did go back a week later and they saw a heartbeat, so miracles can happen! I would say expect the worst but hope for the best. Best of luck!

[Alepe in reply to yep586]

Thank you so much for your support. I really hope this miracle will happen to me as well. May I ask you if during that week you felt the same pregnant symptoms as before? Xxxx

[yep586]

You’re very welcome! I didn’t really have symptoms at the beginning. I was certain it was going to be another fail (after 4 losses). I didn’t even test my hcg levels. It was a very stressful week and I kept expecting the worst. Try to keep positive (I know it’s hard). All I can say there’s always hope! Everything crossed for you 😊😊😊xxx

[Alepe in reply to yep586]

Thank you again for sharing your story. For me, it is the same, I can't really read my body and that is giving me pressure. The clinic didn't let me to test the hcg. I am in a limbo!!!.. Let's hope. 🙏.. Thanks for the support. ❤️ Good luck to you and start to enjoy this moment. You deserve it. Leave the bad thoughts behind... 😘❤️

[ButtercupGarden in reply to Alepe]

Also just to say, my clinic did test my HCG but it didn't help, it showed levels rising but slowly so it didn't confirm anything and I still had to wait until the next scan. It's just a horrible wait, definitely limbo!

Sorry to hear this, such a difficult situation. It’s fantastic you have a really supportive partner. Sending you both strength and hope x
