5 weeks pregnant today and so anxious :(

[Ballermoriee1]

Hi everyone,

I am 5 weeks pregnant today. I feel pregnant naturally after 3.5 years of trying and 3 failed IVF attempts and save to say i'm losing my mind. I am so worried that something will go wrong. I just don't know how to relax. I have an early pregnancy scan on 31st December when I will be 8 weeks, that seems like a lifetime away. I am also getting bloods done tomorrow and Monday but I am scared of the results. Can anyone relate to this, i'd love to speak with people at the same stage / in the same boat? xxxx

@Daffodil21 Have you ever had bleeding before that isn’t a sign of something bad? Can you book in for bloods so you know what’s going on for peace of mind.

@Ballermoriee1 I've never had a successful pregnancy so bleeding has always lead to the end. I wasn't going to have bloods or an early scan, I was just going to wait it out. But I've changed my mind already and going to book bloods when they open

@Daffodil21 I’m so sorry, I hope this is different. What does your gut tell you? I haven’t had a successful pregnancy either but I have bleed before, passed a huge clot but at that point it didn’t cause miscarriage, then no blood and had a missed miscarriage!

@Ballermoriee1 after a morning battle I have got bloods booked for tomorrow and thursday to see if they are rising enough. My gut is telling me it isn't good - normally my boobs get bigger and then smaller when things start to go wrong, this time they haven't even bothered getting bigger. Aside from the excessive peeing and positive pregnancy test I honestly wouldn't know I was pregnant.

It's such an unknown isn't it!

@Daffodil21 it’s horrible! I’m waiting for my second bloods today I just want them to have rocketed and then I can tuck myself in bed and go to sleep (I feel rubbish today, really unwell). I have everything crossed for positive betas for you, how far along will you be tomorrow?

@Ballermoriee1 everything crossed for you - let us know? Sorry to read you're feeling rubbish! Take care of yourself

I think I'll be 5+2 tomorrow

@Daffodil21 that’s about the same days as me when I had my first. Let me know what they are xxx

@Ballermoriee1 will do - he said it's not so much what the levels are, just that they are rising, so I won't get results until Friday

@Ballermoriee1 did you get your blood results? Are you feeling any better?

@Daffodil21 I did, my bloods went from 4300 on Friday to 15,500 yesterday so they were what they needed to be!

I had a chip sandwich last night and since then non stop sickness. This is how it was last time, I couldn’t keep anything down, I am so grateful it’s a good sign but it’s still so hard.

Did you have your bloods today? Will you get results today or tomorrow from this one?

@Ballermoriee1 they're amazing results!! That must be such a relief!

They took the first lot today, another planned for Thursday then results Friday. I looked at the screen and it said 'possible further miscarriage' which stung a bit, but that is the reality of the situation

HCG doubled! Obviously anything can change but good news for now at least!!

Hi ladies how are we all doing? Hope everyone's doing okay with all the crazy stuff happening in the UK and also specifically with pregnancy! Sending love. I'm doing okayish, 7 weeks 1 day today. Had my booking in appt Sat and have our private scan Thursday so I'm a bag of anxious nerves just freaking out at every little thing and crying a lot so that's fun! I'm an anxious person anyway but wow pregnancy anxiety is no joke! Really trying to stay positive and keep myself distracted still. Hope you're all okay XXX

@Daffodil21 so sorry I haven’t been in touch, I’m so glad to hear it doubled. I’ve been extremely unwell with Hyperemesis, finally admitted in to hospital yesterday and feel a smidge better today. How are you getting on?

@TheHotelCalifornia good luck for tomorrow, let us know! Xx

I am 6 weeks today and also very anxious. I don't have any symptoms whereas my last two pregnancies I had hypermesis from 6 weeks.

Surely it can't be normal to have no nausea :(

Daffodil, glad all is going well for you.

@Ballermoriee1 I've started bleeding now so I think the usual is about to happen. It's eased up the last couple of days, and my consultant did say it could be caused by the cyclogest, but to me it just seems to have been to much blood to not be the end. So sorry you've not feeling well, I hope you feel better soon

@Daffodil21 how are you?

@HitsAndMrs have you started to feel sick, HG is what I have and it’s horrendous 😢

@Ballermoriee1 the bleeding eased up and I had a scan on Thursday. There was a heartbeat and it was measuring exactly as my dates. I've seen heartbeats before but I've never had a measurement be spot on before. Haven't had any bleeding since so hoping all is still ok. I've got to phone the midwife to arrange my booking in appointment tomorrow - I left it until now because I've had to cancel them so often that I wanted to wait and see if we made if January first. I'm 8 weeks today which I still cannot believe.

How are you?? X

Hello!

I am 6 weeks pregnant and have very bad anxiety about sex during pregnancy especially early pregnancy. I have had fertility problems and this is a miracle baby which makes it worse. I know it sounds silly to ask if sex can cause miscarriage and it’s probably not even possible but I hope I’m not the only one who feels this!

Xx

@Miraclerainbow I'm sure it doesn't but I'm not willing to take the risk so not even entertaining the idea! Don't worry you're not alone in this thought!

Daffodil21 thank you. I’m glad I’m not the only one! X

I’m 6 weeks pregnant and I had my second scan on Tuesday. Everything is looking good.

Reason for early scan is because I was getting some strange cramps and ive recently had tubal surgery so they were concerned it might have been ectopic. Luckily everything was fine. Those cramps have calmed down now but today all day I’ve been getting a lightning shock feeling on my left hip, it’s not painful it just makes me jump and worry. When I went for my scan the nurse told me to expect random pains etc but I can’t help but worry. Anyone else have this? X

@Daffodil21 how are you? I’ve been so unwell but approaching 12 weeks now!

What about you? Xxx

@Ballermoriee1 oh no sorry to hear you've been unwell, but so happy to see you're almost 12 weeks! When is your next scan?
I'm ok thank you, I'm 10+6 (never thought I would say that!). Had a scan on Wednesday showing heart still going as it should, and measuring on point as well. It was even wriggling around in there so I hope it continues. My next scan is 4th Feb so treading water until then!

@Miraclerainbow sorry I hadn't seen your post until now. Can't shed any light on those pains I'm afraid but glad all looked good at your last scan. How are you doing?

Daffodil21

Glad it’s all going well with your pregnancy! I’m 9 weeks on Monday and starting to feel crap but funny enough only on weekends mostly! I got my 12 week scan date for 20th feb. It seems like such a long time away but these couple weeks have gone by fast so hoping this does too! All good so far though. How are your symptoms? X
