Early Pregnancy After IVF: Worry-warts and wimps gather to whimper and wobble.

[PramQueen1971]

Yes! Happy Birthday to me indeed! Fanks for all the I would say 'nom-nom' and 'it was awesome!' but I would have to stab myself for being an irritating twat. I digress..

Come here, ladies who have survived IVF and are now battling the first trimester nerves and scans. We did it...we did it!!

Good Luck today happily x

Thanks for your good luck messages.

Unfortunately it was bad news, still just an empty sack :( I just need to wait to miscarry now and start again. It's very sad.

Thank you so much for all your support and wish you well in your pregnancies xxx

Happily I am so sorry to hear your news. Please look after yourself. We are always here if you need support xxx

Oh love, I'm really sorry to hear that. Why does this happen when we've waited so long? It really isn't fair. X

Thx beetle. How are you and the twins? Must've been a shock or were you expecting the possibility? Are these your first children?

Wow you only put one back and you ended up with twins! Yay that is so lovely.

I'm obsessed with embryo grades at the moment. I'm having a 4bb put back at the end of October. I'm having acupuncture, scratch and the glue! It better bloody work!

Was this an FET or your first go? What grade did they put back? Sorry for all the questions but the success stories keep me going :)

Not long till October now Twinks! How you feeling about it all?

You'll get there Beetle. When's your next appointment?

I am so, so sorry you had unhappy news, Happily. Much luck for the future - you'll be back before you know it

Twinks! Hold on tight! Your baby is just around the corner. It's not going anywhere, okay? X

Beetle, I ain't leaving, love, I just went on me hols

I met my very first mumsnet friend today in real life!A lady off the Martians antenatal thread. 'Twas lovely All I need now is to save up for a train ticket to Essex and a flight to South Africa....

Thanks Beetle for your detailed answer :)

Hi pram x

Yes Pram! Hurry!!

How are you girls today? I'm feeling so incredibly blessed to be pregnant and on the verge of motherhood. It's a fucking miracle

Still not good Beetle. I'm off back to docs tomorrow. How are you lovely?

Pram I feel exactly the same. It's a very humbling experience isn't it?

Yes, Marbie, that's exactly it. Today I asked th'usband if we could go for a walk to Tesco, not to buy owt (I did all my shopping t'other day), just to be one of those pregnant couples I used to stare at enviously when I was TTC. I never resented these people; always admired and chatted to them, hoping that, one day, that would be me in Tesco with a gorgeous bump. So..off we went. I wasn't being smug, just happy to be 'one of them'

That totally makes sense Prambo. I always used to feel like a bit of a fraud if I looked at baby stuff. I still do if I'm honest, but I'm getting there

Hello ladies!
Have been off on hols for a few days - with no Internet access. I had forgotten what that was like, but actually really good that no one could get in touch about work etc.
marbs sounds like you're still struggling. I am totally with you on how grim it can make you feel. Having not actually been sick for a few days I was hoping at the magic 12 week mark I was getting better, but no - retching before even out of bed this morning. Are you taking anything?
pram you are so far along now! Wowweee! I'm guessing the bump looks proper now (am at the fat stage - had to buy mat jeans at the weekend) can you feel movements yet? I'm so excited for you feeling it moving about as that must be proper pregnant lady thing.
beetle are you bumped out yet? I imagine with twins it must come earlier? When's next scan?

12 week scan this fri - will be 12+5, am more nervous about this one than any of the others for some reason. Feel convinced the fact we bought some bits at the weekend (have been advised to buy as much as poss before we emigrate as baby and mat stuff expensive there) was a bad idea. But I need to get everything I can by 1st nov - no idea how I will get everything done even without this to do too. Especially as spend a lot of time lying on the sofa these days!

Hello Wim! You'll be fine at your scan. Strangely it was the one I was most relaxed about. We had bought loads of clothes before we had it! Not long till the big move now! How are you feeling about it all?

I'm 15+1 today and started my new meds last night. I was on one type but they weren't helping enough. So was given some new ones yesterday. Here hoping for an improvement.

I'm sure we will both get there
