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?

Congratulations, you deserve this and I really hope everything goes ok for you. I know it's easy for me to say but try to relax and stop worrying.

cheeseandbiscuitsplease1 · 30/05/2018 13:58

How wonderful! Congratulations! Wishing you a very healthy pregnancy.

Iswallowtoothpaste · 30/05/2018 13:58

You could’ve ovulated and/or implanted later too. Huge congratulations!

Cantchooseaname · 30/05/2018 13:59

That’s brilliant!! Once you’ve seen heartbeat odds are sooo much better!

myotherbagisgucci · 30/05/2018 14:02

Fantastic news! Congratulations! Xx

TroubledLichen · 30/05/2018 14:02

Yay, such excellent news! Congratulations

Bumblealong1 · 30/05/2018 14:07

AHHHH. That bought tears to my eyes.
Great news!!!! YAY!
if the sonographer was not worried at all about the measurements then do not worry (I know much easier to say than do).

great that you have another scan in 2 weeks. Please keep us updated.
Enjoy your day!!

Oh my god!! I was reading this with my heart in my mouth... so pleased you've seen the heartbeat as that makes things much more positive. Dates always seem a little out on early scans so please try not to worry. Congrats take care

Trooperslane2 · 30/05/2018 14:11

I have tears in my eyes for you OP.

And I have EVERYTHING I can possibly cross, crossed for you. It's a bloody roller coaster but worth every minute when it happens.

Please keep us updated if you want to.

living vicariously since will never be pregnant again

Congratulations and very best of luck for the next 34 weeks. Try and get to the cinema, theatre, read some books, develop a Netflix habit a) to keep your mind off worrying and b) because you may not have much free time over the next ten years!
(Maybe not the Handmaid’s Tale though.)

frasier · 30/05/2018 14:16

Burst into tears at your post today 😊

10 years trying and 10 (various) fertility treatments and my pregnancy went pretty much like yours sounds.

He’s three now!

MyLittleBeee · 30/05/2018 14:49

Thank you so much everyone, you are all very lovely and I'm extremely happy!!!!

So very pleased for you OP
You have been in my thoughts. Wishing you a drama free and very happy rest of the pregnancy.

Congratulations 💐

MissSmiley · 30/05/2018 15:50

So pleased for you from what I remembered risk of miscarriage goes down a lot after you see a heartbeat x

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 :)

AliceScarlett · 30/05/2018 18:11

Oh my goodness, so pleased. Phew!

Keep us updated, I've been thinking of you all day!

Xx

jamsyoink · 30/05/2018 18:27

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!

chloechloe · 30/05/2018 21:04
