@xreadytoglow @Overlyanxious @Justawannabemam @XjustagirlX heyy how are you all getting on with scans and appts etc? Haven’t heard from you all in a while x

I think I forgot to add your name too @Frenchiepupmama x

@Bluehawaii29 my OTD is tomorrow. I haven’t done any more tests because I couldn’t take the upset. I’ve been pregnant and miscarried 3 times previously and I don’t feel pregnant this time. I would bet that it will be a BFN.

Aww I’m sorry you’re going through that 2WW turmoil, it’s a horrible time and that was me this time last week so I know what you going through @xreadytoglow. Did you test early or testing for first time tomorrow? Xx

@XjustagirlX sorry that message for you x

@Bluehawaii29 i tested at 5.5dp5dt and 7.5dp5dt. The half days are because my embryo transfer wasn’t until about 4:30pm. Statistically I should have received at least a faint positive by my second test so I had to stop testing.

Thé 2WW hasn’t been as bad as I thought actually. I’ve tried to keep myself really busy.

I had cramps really early on. AF doesn’t feel like it’s coming. But I don’t have any of the positive symptoms either. When I have been pregnant before I generally look much better, my mood is really happy, and I feel slightly nauseous in the morning. I don’t have any of these his time.

@Bluehawaii29 my scan is 31st March at 8 weeks, 1 day. I'm constantly thinking about it and whether the scan is going to go well or not. I did consider getting an earlier scan but I think I may feel more reassured if it's positive at 8 weeks. I go between thinking it's going to be ok and then thinking it will be my luck that it will go all wrong.

@XjustagirlX aww it must be so hard to think positive when was negative at 7.5days post transfer so I understand why you are waiting till OTD now. Fingers crossed it may have changed by now 🤞🤞 x
@Overlyanxious yes I do remember the nurse telling me on transfer day to be brave while waiting for the scan but at the time all I could think about was getting to this stage in the first place so now that I’m here I also feel nervous about the scan and would like it sooner but I get what you’re saying about 8 weeks can see better. I’m still waiting for nurse to call back so will let you know what she says x

@Overlyanxious how have you been getting through the days and have you done any more testing at home? I’ve got the cheap strip tests and just do one a day to convince myself it’s still there. I know it sounds crazy but they come in a box of 20 so I figured just keep doing one a day until someone can show me the real thing x

@Millymillymillymillymilly just spoke with the nurse. The earliest she could give was the Thursday the week before but that would have been at the London hospital and not my local one and also she said that they still may not be able to measure it properly to date it so that’s why she recommended waiting till April 13th which is what I’m gonna do now. Just gotta be patient I guess and hopefully it will be here soon! X

@Bluehawaii29 I don't really pass the time if I'm busy with something that helps (but it's still back of my mind) but on days like today when work is fairly quiet I spend most my time googling and making myself feel worse. I just need to accept I have no control over it and what will be will be.

@Overlyanxious aww have you had a bad experience in the past that makes you feel more worried or is this the first time you are pregnant? x

@Bluehawaii29 I meant to say I haven't done anymore testing. I was tempted but I'm too scared to. That's annoying you have to wait for your scan still

@Bluehawaii29 I had an early miscarriage in 2020 and this is my first bfp since. I got into such a bad headspace for about a year. I just felt so unlucky whilst all these other people around me got pregnant and it felt like it would never happen for me. So I think maybe I'm reverting back to that line of thinking again.

@Overlyanxious aww that’s why I been testing every day because if I leave a gap of even a couple days I’ll be too scared to test again and that’s the only thing keeping me sane right now

Heyy @Bluehawaii29 thanks for asking. I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow and I have my scan on Thursday. I'm feeling really anxious about it because I feel like I should have more symptoms right now, but I'm just trying to remain hopeful. The wait is agonising.

@Overlyanxious aww I’m sorry you had to experience that loss, I truly hope this time is different and your little one is here to stay. All we can do is try to stay positive. I wake up really early at 6ish everyday so I find meditation and prayers are helping me in the mornings while I wait to start work xx
@xreadytoglow aww wow glad you have scan this week, Fingers crossed everything is as it should be and let us know how it all goes xx

@Bluehawaii29 I'll definitely keep you all updated. Hopefully I'll have a scan pic of our little bean to show you all.
Sorry you're also feeling nervous @Overlyanxious it's tough isn't it. I hope we get our positive scans at the end of all this waiting 🤍

Yes we need those beautiful scan pics as much as possible to give everyone hope 💙💙

@xreadytoglow fingers crossed for Thursday. I think it's so tough with symptoms as everyone is so different. We just need to keep the hope.

@Bluehawaii29 thank you. I think I definitely need to get out of my head and stop worrying so much.

@Overlyanxious yeah I'm expecting some profound pregnancy symptoms.. and being on that pregnancy group is hard sometimes with others that aren't as far along as me saying about how nauseous they are. It's hard not to compare symptoms but I think once I know that it is progressing and there is a heartbeat there, I'll stop.

How is everyone’s work going? I’m still working remotely at the mo but get very tired by afternoon and concentration span not as good

@xreadytoglow I was talking to my sister (who has 2 kids) about my lack of symptons and she was telling me she only got nausea in week 8 and even then it wasn't that bad. On the flip side my aunt had nausea pretty much from the start and it lasted all the way through. I'm hoping to have an experience more like my sister, although I do admit more symptoms= more reassurance at this stage.

@xreadytoglow @Overlyanxious it’s good to know you guys don’t have the profound symptoms too. Yes I know what you mean about everyone talking about nausea but I just struggle to eat but I wouldn’t say I’m particularly that nausea. Just off my foods but forcing myself each time to eat it if that makes sense

I’m just happy if my boobs carry on being sore and no spotting when I go to pass urine. I still have a big urgency to keep going toilet, not sure if anyone else does but I had it right from the start even in 2WW
