10 weeks and so anxious

[eclairef]

Apologies in advance for my rambling first post! I'm 10 weeks pregnant after a frozen embryo transfer back in April. I already have a 2 year old DD who was also conceived from a FET.

This pregnancy seems to be making twice as anxious as I was the first time. I just can't shake the feeling that something is not right. I had an early scan at 6+4 and we saw a heartbeat, so back then everything was going ok. I had the usual sore boobs, sore nipples, felt nauseous on and off, but for the last week or so it all seems to have stopped. This isn't helping my anxieties.

I've not had my booking appointment yet as I couldn't get an appt until next Wednesday, when I'll be nearly 11 weeks. I can't believe how slowly time is dragging this time round - I don't remember it being this bad with my DD.

I spoke with EPAU this morning but obviously if there's been no pain or bleeding then they won't see you, which I understand. Don't really know what I expected them to say really - guess I had hoped it would make me feel better speaking to someone. How can I try and stay calm and not feel as anxious?

I don’t know if I can help with techniques to reduce anxiety, but I am also 10 weeks and my symptoms have almost vanished in the past week. I remember it happening at 9 weeks with ds1 and I think it’s to do with the placenta taking over so hormones aren’t quite so bad.

Can you get a private scan for reassurance? I’ve not had one but I know lots of people do.

Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping that's the cause of the symptoms disappearing.

I got in touch with a private scan place yesterday but am yet to hear back. Hopefully I'll get a scan booked soon. I think that probably would put my mind at ease a bit.
