The 3 week wait no one mentions

[Zibidee]

SO we did the two week wait, and success! We are pregnant! But then we come crashing down to earth as the clinic tells us to wait 3 weeks for a scan to check it isn't a chemical pregnancy. The scan will hopefully show a heart beat.
Why does no one mention the 3 week wait? Its more torturous than the 2 week, which was actually only 11 days in the end.

And then of course will be the 5 week wait to get us to 12 weeks and hopefully in the clear.
How to people cope with this waiting? I'm fine while 'm at work, my job is very busy so don't have time to think but as soon as I get home I'm googling things and worrying!

How is everyone getting on? I had a fet on the 28th and found out on Monday it worked. The anxiety I'm feeling now is unreal. I'm having to stop myself buying tests as I don't want to do tests as I'm afraid of seeing fainter lines. I'm just so worried I'm not pregnant still. I'm only 5 weeks so hyper aware anything could happen. My scan isn't for another two weeks and I'm not sure how I'm meant to get there feeling this way!
I find myself not wanting to make plans etc for worry of jinxing things. But at the same time it's took so much to get here I want to enjoy the moment. It's so tough

Congratulations! 🎊

It's amazing to get that bfp. I've only ever had one in my life and I'd dreamt of the moment. But then immediately I started to worry it wouldn't stick, and remind myself not to count my chickens. It's such a shame we can't just enjoy a wonderful and special thing! I always tried to remind myself that it was far more likely to work out than not. I have a FET next week so really hoping to go through the whole lot again! 🤞

It is hard isn't it? I'm 10 weeks now, but have had bouts of bleeding for the last 3 weeks, so finding it hard. I just keep worrying it's all gone wrong.

@Holskey I was honestly so shocked and of course instantly started crying happy tears, it is the best feeling. But then that feeling didn't last long and has no been replaced with excessive worry! I am trying to be more positive, allowing myself to daydream, after all we've all been wanting this for such a long time !
Ahh, wishing you all the best of luck with your fet! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@SerendipitySunshine sorry to hear you've been having a tough time, it's bloody terrifying!
