6 weeks with no real obvious symptoms

[Rmw1993]

I got my first BFP after 7 years of trying, this was my first round with a fresh transfer and I was really shocked when I seen the positive test. I have had anxiety anyways but I’ve had no real symptoms of nausea or feeling sick with certain foods. My boobs are tender when I touch them or press them mainly at the end of the day when I take my bra off. I have my 7 week scan at the IVF clinic Tuesday and I’m so scared it will be bad news. I feel like at the moment I can’t even be happy when my family talk to me about being pregnant because I’m so worried constantly

Hi lovely,

Congratulations on your BFP.

Try to remember that everyone's pregnancy experiences are different. I didn't have a single symptom until I was about 14 weeks and only then it was round ligament pain.

I had no food aversions, no sore boobs, no thirst, no extra peeing - I really didn't feel pregnant at all until the baby started kicking...

Thank you… I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed and struggling to stay off Google. I’ve got friends who’ve had children but don’t want to bombard them with questions. I sometimes think it’s too good to be true and I don’t quite believe it yet xxx

When you've been through so much to get to this point, everything feels so tentative. But honestly there is no reason to worry. One step at a time xx

Congratulations! Symptoms can come and go, and not having strong ones doesn’t mean anything is wrong. I know the wait for the scan can be so nerve-wracking, but try to take it one day at a time. You’re pregnant right now, and that’s amazing. Wishing you all the best for your scan on Tuesday! xx

Currently suffering with HG and tbh, i recommend to enjoy the symptom-free time ! Personally for me I was so depressed with all the strong symptoms I was questioning why I'd even gone through all this which is crazy. There's nothing you can do to change anything atm so just try and take each day as it comes and just go with the flow until your scan x

congrats on your positive result! I didn’t have any symptoms either and still don’t really and I’m now 18wks. I too didn’t feel pregnant really and the anxiety was real, because of that I waited ages before telling anyone because I couldn’t cope with their excitement and my anxiety, so I get how you feel there. It felt like too much pressure for me. All you can do is take each day/week at a time, look after yourself and good luck for the scan! Xx

In the same situation too. I totally understand your anxiety. I am 5 weeks though. It’s hard to be excited when you can’t believe it! I have booked a counselling session with my clinic as they offer this service. I hope this will help! Check to see if any is available with your clinic? Or speak to the nursing team . They can help as they see this all the time . Doing ivf was pretty stressful but at least I was doing something… like injections, tablets , scans and bloods to monitor everything so I felt more in control but now it’s a wait and see! Which is the hardest thing! Congratulations to you! Be kind to yourself as much as possible and stay away from instagram! That’s what I am doing , as it keeps feeding my anxious feeling by giving me what if scenarios. All the best for the scan xx

I had none of the typical symptoms in my successful pregnancy until the second trimester! I was worried about it like you are but it obviously meant nothing because my son is here! X x
