Feel like this pregnancy will be taken away

I was on the August babies and IVF success thread but came off as felt such a fraud. It took us three years and a gruelling round of IVF to conceive and my HCG levels were originally really low, then at my scan at 6w5d there was a heartbeat but the baby was measuring five days behind. I'm going back tomorrow at eight weeks and even though I have symptoms now I feel like a fraud, like this baby will be taken away.

My partner keeps saying things like, better now than later. We have friends who had a very traumatic tmfr so I know what he's saying, but how I long to stay pregnant.

Before this our only success was a chemical which sorted itself out.

I'd love to come back to the August groups but feel like some horrible downer on all the good pregnant women who will keep their babies. I'm off work with stress today and not sleeping and generally making myself mad.

I was on beta blockers for ocd anxiety but can't take those anymore.

Anyone the same?

Hey lovely, I was on there too. Just wanted to send you a handhold for tomorrow, I will be keeping everything crossed for you.

Thank you @Sunbird24. Are you still on there? It's so hard isn't it? I don't feel like I can go back there yet xx

No, afraid I’m off there now too. Try and get some sleep tonight, I know it won’t be easy.

Oh no. I'm sorry @Sunbird24 xx

Hi @theotherfossilsister, just to say I'm thinking of you - I hope tomorrow goes well and I'm here if you want to chat. 💜

Hey, the scan went well but still am terrified of miscarriage and think about it so much. I have Covid at the moment and just saw the terribly sad thread by the lady with Covid who lost her baby. I guess being home from work and stuck in isolating is doing nothing for me.

My anxiety is constant and terrifying.

Please don't be angry. I know how lucky I am to get this far. A lot of friends have had failed transfers so I obviously can't talk to them about this

I have autism and ocd and they're really rearing their ugly head atm.

All still ok @theotherfossilsister? Hope you’re doing well and progressing nicely.
