6 weeks pregnant after 20 years trying & 5 IVF cycles

To cut a long story short, today I'm 6 weeks pregnant after 20 years of TTC & 5 IVF cycles.

I always thought that once I got that elusive positive pregnancy test then I'd be on cloud 9 without a care in the world but instead (obviously I'm absolutely delighted) but I'm full of worry & disbelief!

I can't help feeling like it's not going to work & when I go for my scan next week they will say there's nothing there.

I haven't had any symptoms at all apart from peeing more often but then I'm drinking more so that probably answers that. I do think I've lost my appetite somewhat but maybe that's stress or the drugs I'm still taking?!

No sore boobs at all which I keep reading most people get by now.

Anyone else not have any symptoms at 6 weeks?

Ahhh what a heartwarming thread. So so happy for you OP. I have not gone through anything like the heartache you have, I TTC for 2 years then had an ectopic pregnancy and am now 27 weeks pregnant; like I said nothing like what you’ve been through but I can sympathise with that feeling of disbelief when things go well! I’m so happy for you.

Here’s wishing you a healthy, happy pregnancy

So, so happy for you xx

Many congrats

Yumyumpigs · 30/05/2018 22:02

Woohooo that's brilliant news. I found getting a +ve pregnancy test really overwhelming as I thought I'd be soooooo happy just to be pregnant. I found it scary and went from scan to scan with my heart in my mouth.

I now have 2 2 and a half year olds up in bed. So now concentrate on taking it easy in these first few weeks. Especially as youv e had some bleeding. I did too (small amounts only though) unt about 9/10 weeks.

Try and enjoy it. Good luck x

Congrats mommy! don’t stress yourself out and just relax. Smile and think positive thoughts so your little one will be happy and smiling as well. To make you feel better, during first trimester my boobs wasn’t even sore at all. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy!

lapenguin · 30/05/2018 15:57

Fingers crossed! Keep us updated :) maybe take a couple of days to relax? Sometimes over doing it can cause some spotting? Sometimes nothing in general can cause it too! Yay for seeing a heartbeat :)
