Early pregnancy after IVF. Please come here to worry and support!

[NookNook]

Right then! Come here if you are 4-12 weeks and can't stop fretting. Didn't think anything could be worse than the 2WW? Think again!

maybe are you struggling cos you're tired or sick? Or just mind elsewhere?

Congratulations caip! Stay around here for support. Do you have a date for an early scan?

pram and maybe it must be because I'm ancient, at 41. And a previous miscarriage? Donor eggs? Oh well, I am pleased to be made a fuss over.

Not ancient at all Motor

Caip I'm both of the above, tired and sick. And I have an infection I can't shift too. I'm looking forward to the magical time when I glow as opposed to sweat and I marvel everyone with the bounce in my step chinny reckon

Thanks everyone
1st scan 2 weeks today

'Chinny reckon' - tooooo funny! Takes me back to my yoof!

What does 'chinny reckon' mean?

Well things aren't looking too good. I'm in quite a bit of pain now. Back ache and stomach cramps. I'm bleeding quite heavily. I think it's all over now.

Oh Cups hand hold for you. Don't give up hope though. Is there someone with you? X

Oh, Cups, no

Okay, okay, I'm stalking on here, yes! Just wanted to give you a hand to hold cups - so sorry you're going through this and hope everything will turn out ok for you Xx

I'm on my own, DH is at work until 6:30. I don't know if I should tell him or not. He might not be able to leave work if he's got a deadline. God this is awful, I still can't bring myself to take anything stronger than paracetamol as I'm stupidly hoping the bleeding will stop any minute

I'm not completely alone. I've got my lovely dog who hasn't left my side.

Oh cups, I have everything crossed for you

Oh cups, hoping for a good outcome x

Oh Cups lovely, I'm keeping everything crossed for you xxx

cups we're all here hand holding. I'm sorry, I know nothing we can do can make this better. Hope mr cups is home really soon to look after you. X

Oh cups - poor thing. I hope mr cups is home soon to give you a big hug. Xx

Cups buddy I'm with you hoping it will stop soon. Xxx

oh no cups. delurking to hold your hand.

Cups, what's occurring? I can't get you out of my head x

Sorry I haven't been back. DH came home from work early. I dont really know whats happening to be honest as I've never been through this before. TMI alert, the bleeding has stayed the same. It's bright red, it's hard to tell how heavy it is. I've only been using panty liners so its not as heavy as my periods but when I go to the toilet my wee is red and bits are dripping out. It's been quite painful, my back is really aching but it does feel better for a bit after taking paracetamol.
We spent the evening crying to be honest. It just seems so cruel. DH has been really upset, I still feel a bit numb really and am swinging between despair to hoping that the beta comes back really high tomorrow. Thanks for all the kind messages, I appreciate it x

How are you beetle?

Thinking of you cups. I hope the appropriate medical people are supportive, and that you get all the checks you need to know what exactly is going on.

Waves to everybody else.

Morning all - nocups, thoughts with you this morning hon. Fingers crossed. X
