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?

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

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 Flowers
