IVF babies due 2026?

[1989Frog]

Hi - I couldn’t find a thread but just wondered if anyone else was expecting in 2026 post ivf? I’m due end of Feb so just wanting any similar ladies to chat with!

My anxiety is through the roof. 4 weeks today, OTD tomorrow. Maybe that’ll make it feel real? My last clinic told me this would never happen so I can’t quite get the negative mindset to go 😔

@PlanBFertility same with the anxiety! I think an ivf pregnancy feels such high stakes so theres a looooot of nerves that comes with it!

Hi everyone:) finding it really difficult to control my anxiety tbh! My ivf scan is booked for 7+4 (currently 4+5)

@Timetotryagain snap 4+1 and petrified. Clinic wants me to go in for HCG bloods and when they’re happy with those, will then book in for scan.

@PlanBFertility @Timetotryagain the anxiety doesn’t go away but I think if we try to take it day by day. You’re better not to have your scan until week 7 as there is a chance you might not see anything before this and be even more stressed x

Yeah thats true, if its 7 weeks more likely to see something 🙏

How’s everyone doing

@PlanBFertility not too bad! Feeling a bit more nausea now in the evenings (5 weeks tomorrow)

How about you?

@PlanBFertility so ready for the weekend to hibernate.
hope everyone is doing ok? I think next week is a big week for some of us with scans?

@confused2025 do you have a scan this week? Mines in 2.5 weeks so still a while to go!

@Timetotryagain I have my NHS scan next Friday 25th x

@confused2025 hope it goes well!!!

I’ve got my first HCG bloods tomorrow, so nice early start (6am) to get down to London in time. 4+2 and hasn’t sunk in yet I don’t think. Or maybe I’m protecting self in case it goes wrong.

@PlanBFertilitysending positive thoughts your way x

Hi all, just came across this thread and thought I would join! I am 10 weeks tomorrow after my 2nd FET was successful. I've now 'graduated' from th ivf clinic, but not having my NHS scan until the 14th August which feels a loooong time. I've had 3 scans already (v anxious over here) and all thankfully looking good but it's so stressful! I've also had a lot of spotting and occasional bleeding from a haematoma, apparently very common in ivf pregnancies and generally not an issue but my god the stress wondering what might be going on every time I had to pee!

Can also relate to the hangover feeling - it's been pretty constant for me from around 6 weeks. So tired as well. And I've barely stopped eating - I'd already put on weight from the ivf meds and now I feel.a bit spiralling our of control! On the one hand, you just have to get through the days any way you can, but then it's also not making me feel great about myself!

Overall though just so grateful to be pregnant again, it's been 2 years of slog since we lost our first baby to a TFMR and felt like I'd never get pregnant again, so I'll take the nausea!

Hi all, thought I would join this thread. @Timetotryagainyou kindly provided me with some support on my other thread (I had accidentally used my other username in that one!) as on my last FET I had a chemical pregnancy.
Currently OTD today (14DP5DT) and urine test and blood test both positive. Not sure if/when I will relax! This would be our first, and it has taken us 6 embryos to get to this point.
Wishing us all positive, calming vibes

Had my blood results - 12dp5dt and HCG is 864.

@lemons44welcome ☺️
@PlanBFertility so I think this is a good HCG level? How are you feeling?

@Orangewillow welcome. I think we’re sharing same due date? 15th Feb? Also 10 weeks tomorrow x

@confused2025 yes 15th Feb!! Due date buddies!

@confused2025 still petrified!! More bloods Monday, and then booking in for early scan. How are you?

@Orangewillow🥰
@PlanBFertility the anxiety is completely normal but you’ve made it to the next stage. IVF takes the joy away from us in being able to celebrate. I think once you have your viability scan though it will feel a little more real. But if it’s before 7 weeks you might not see much or might not hear a heart beat and that’s normal.
im doing ok but struggling with sleep at the minute as I have to go to the loo normally around 3ish and finding it hard to get back to sleep until much later. Also, major food aversions and also morning sickness. My husband brought me out for breakfast this morning and I was so ill in the loo afterwards, it just wasn’t worth it. We’re kinda hibernating in our little bubble at the moment though so that’s nice x

Hey. So sorry to hear about your first loss. 2 years waiting is such a long time and the fear of anything going wrong can become so overwhelming. IVF really takes away all the control we have for trying to get pregnant and then the lack of control we feel ourselves already from previous losses can compound all those negative emotions. I had a scan a few days ago at 8 weeks and baby was measuring right on track with strong heartbeat but still can't shift the overanalyzing. Woke today with severe nausea still, fatigue but now I'm panicking cos my breast tenderness is completely gone! I know I'm just being irrational and overthinking and keep telling myself you just got sick, things are fine😅 I've another scan next week at 9w1d so hopefully that'll help reassure again as we will be the furthest along we have gotten in any pregnancy.

Thank you, yeah after so much time, effort and heartache I'm so anxious about something bad happening again, once you've had a loss it just takes a lot of the joy out! I'm occasionally managing to be hopeful and excited so taking those moments as they come

I know what you mean about symptoms, if I feel a bit better for a few days I wonder it means something bad, but these things are up and down and can mean absolutely nothing at all! Just messes with your head. That's great you had a positive 8 week scan, best of luck for the next one. I think getting last the point of a previous loss must feel like a big milestone but also brings up lots of anxiety. My previous pregnancy went wrong from around 12 weeks after a NIPT test so I'm very anxious about doing that again!

Morning all. When did people stop doing pregnancy tests? I am 15DP5DT and it’s the first morning I haven’t done one. I already feel really anxious having not done it. However I don’t want to keep driving myself mad with testing! My symptoms can be here one day and gone the next and I have nothing this morning which I think is what is fuelling the anxiety.
