I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant. Im on presnisolone and clexane and I feel f*%king awful. I’ve got at least 4 weeks left of the drugs.

Im so tired and feel sick and generally unwell all the time. My chest feels compressed and just generally feel poo all the time.

Don’t get me wrong I’m excited to finally be pregnant after so many years of BFNs

please tell me it gets better.

It gets better but nobody can tell you exactly when it varies from person to person but for most it starts to improve after the first trimester. There is another group - FertilityNetwork UK Pregnancy Support which is a better place for these types of post as it can be upsetting for women who are still trying and struggling to conceive xxx

For me, I had it until I have birth to both my boys, some weeks we're better than others! XX

It will get better. I was on utrogestan 3 x a day this time round and they made me feel dizzy and nauseous and just poo like you said. I felt better as soon as i was able to stop them. Hang in there. You'll be 12 weeks soon and then your placenta can take over. X

It does get better but then you may find other things kick in like (in my case) insomnia or heartburn. The first trimester is exhausting but that will pass!
