Anxiety and so nervous all the time

[K2012]

Hi it’s me again

I don’t know what to do. I’m so anxious and nervous all the time. I keep doing pregnancy tests every 3-4 days (they come back positive within seconds) but I’m so scared I have had a missed miscarriage. I will be 6 weeks on Saturday following ICSI treatment, up untill last Wednesday I felt rough and people here advised that I might have had mild ohss. Since last Wednesday I have had no symptoms at all other than I have bowel movements 2-3 times a day which I’m assuming is due to progesterone. I have no morning sickness, sore breasts, wee often or any other pregnancy symptoms. I fell so lost and scared. My first scan will be in 12 days but I’m so scared because I felt rough untill last Wednesday and suddenly all symptoms are gone. I have had no bleeding or spotting just a little bit of yellow discharge occasionally. Please help me I’m so anxious ☹️☹️☹️

I know it's easier said than done but please try not to worry. I haven't reached your stage but I hear many women say they don't have any symptoms at the time of a positive test. Try focusing on yourself, go for walks and do other things you enjoy to take your mind of things. The 12 days will soon pass by quickly.

Best of luck x

The only symptoms I had at 6 weeks were period pains. It really made me think af was coming and it was so stressful. I wished for sickness! I got my wish at about 7 or 8 weeks (and that was awful too but I felt reassured). Some people don't get sore boobs or sickness at all. I never got sore boobs.

There's nothing you can do I'm afraid, other than wait it out until your scan. Even if there was a problem, there's nothing you can do. You just have to trust that your embryo and the environment is healthy. Maybe try a bit of meditation and visualising your little one settling in and growing? That helped me little.

It's so hard when you're supposed to be so happy but you're just terrified and completely helpless! It's not uncommon to feel as you do

I’m at the same stage and feel the same. Very anxious, minimal symptoms and a sense that something is not right. Doesn’t help that I was told there was a low chance of this working and a high chance of miscarriage. Feel like I should be really happy to have got to this stage unexpectedly, but instead it’s just a new hurdle. There’s nothing to do apart from take it a day at a time, keep busy, mindful ivf app, and count down the days til the scan! Good luck getting through

Thank you everyone 🙏🏻❤️

Oh, bless you dear ❤ I am not where you are yet, but please try as much as possible to stay calm. It's not easy, but maybe going to places you like, or try some guided meditation, it always helps me. Sending you all the best of luck and hugs!

Hi, I’m sorry you are so anxious , I know exactly how you feel. I had 3 mmc in a row and this pregnancy was a bag of nerves ( still am)
They only thing that helped me was having hcg tested every 48 hours ( privately) to see the numbers doubling which is normally reassuring as indicates healthy pregnancy. Pregnancy tests don’t tell you anything unfortunately. It’s not for everyone but it helped me.
Otherwise, it really is just a waiting game which is horrible and keeping as busy as possible helps , although you never stop thinking about what’s happening, it at least makes the days pass faster.
The bowel issues you mentioned before may be using the pessaries rectally - I could only handle the other way. Or you could space doses between both areas.
Wishing you the very best of luck and be hopeful as you’re pregnant right now x
