9 and a half weeks and symptoms disappearing - handhold please!

[Sam8103]

Hi everyone,
I'm overly anxious in this pregnancy due to previous losses - this is the first time I've made it this far. It's a very much longed for IVF pregnancy.
I've had pretty bad symptoms since 6 weeks, nausea, retching, very sore boobs. But yesterday and today those symptoms seem to be disappearing and I feel much better. I had a private scan 5 days ago which showed a happy little blob with a heartbeat of 174. But the disappearing symptoms have sent me into a tailspin. Surely they shouldn't be disappearing this soon when the placenta hasn't even taken over yet?
I did the wrong thing and googled (stupid, I know!) and I keep seeing stories of missed miscarriages even after seeing a heartbeat at this stage.
I know I'm probably stressing over nothing but I could really use some stories of people who have been through a similar thing and had a happy ending?

Mine all went away at this time! Nausea went, sore boobs went etc.

Nausea came back at about 11 weeks. Im now 31 weeks and all seems ok!

I'm also 9 weeks and had an early scan last week we saw a little jelly bean with a heartbeat. My boobs had been really painful the past few weeks and they've haven't hurt at all this week. I have quite bad lower back ache which I'm hoping is maybe a good sign. I keep reading things online as well which is scary. It's the not knowing isn't it

Yep - it's the not knowing that's the most stressful part.
I've not helped the situation by reading every sad story online and convincing myself that this is going to end badly like the other ones.

We have a Harmony test booked which includes a scan but that's not for another 11 days (which will be the longest 11 days ever)

I had the same loss of symptoms, was so worried but now I'm 22 weeks and baby is fine and healthy.

My advice is to make the most of it as it came back with a vengeance around 13/14 weeks!

I can totally relate I've been doing the same. Trying to tell myself what will be will be someday that's enough and other days I'm just so anxious and worried. I hope it goes quickly for you but if you're anything like me the weeks will be dragging by 😩
I have my booking in appointment next week so hopefully have a date for my 12 week scan the following week.
Worth that you're feeling like this but it's reassuring that I'm not the only one

Thank you for sharing.

A part of me keeps thinking I should be enjoying the respite from the nausea but it's just really worrying.

I'll be okay, just need to get through it.

Just to add - I think one of the reasons I'm so nervous of missed miscarriage is that I'm on quite a high dose of Progesterone (Utrogestan twice a day as well as Lubion injections) and I'm worried they could delay a bleed/mask a miscarriage.

This was about the time my symptoms really started to ease too. I also googled like crazy even though I told myself not too.

I’m sure the placenta is doing some of the work already at this point. I had a FET and I came off progesterone and oestrogen at 10 weeks as the placenta was making enough.

Try not to worry. Remember that the odds are very much on your side at this point.

Thanks betsyboo.

I'm on progesterone and oestrogen until 12 weeks, its the normal guidelines of my clinic. Can't wait to be finished the, to be honest. I just want to have a "normal" pregnancy.

I found from about 9 weeks my symptoms came and went so I had days I felt quite normal. By 11/12 weeks they had gone and I felt fine... Although by 3rd trimester I feel pretty rubbish but in different ways.

I read a lot of places keep you on meds until 12 weeks and so I was petrified of stopping (google is not my friend!). But mentally I felt loads better as soon as I finished them so I was so pleased to stop. Being discharged from the fertility clinic was a great feeling too!

Totally normal, please don’t stress though so hard not too. Other than a missed period and some middle of the night peeing when I was 4-6 weeks I have had No consistent symptoms, an occasional wave of Nausea week 6 but Iv had two early scans due to worry whether there was Anything even in there - weeks 6 and yesterday week 9 and all is fine so far. My husband reminded me I was like this for my first pregnancy too so please just consider we are the lucky ones getting away without terrible sickness! Good luck for your scan and hope the days fly in x
