Background. 29 year old, long term partner 10 years. One 8 year old. PCOS. TTC for 6 years, had 4 miscarriages and been treated with clomid - letrozole. Was told 2 years ago that there was nothing more we could try apart from pay for IVF.
Decided to forget about it, move on and enjoy life. Started coming to the realisation of having an only child and accepted this. One week before my 30th birthday, I had a missed period and sore boobs. Normally my periods are all over the place anyway. Took a test to be safe. Positive test. 6+4 going by last period day. I was so upset when I had the positive pregnancy test as I had finally moved on with the fact we would probably not have another child. We hadn’t given up, just lack of trying really.
Few lifestyle changes, lost a bit weight, partner stopped drinking alcohol, change of diet eating less red meat. Not sure if linked.
I am over the initial shock of it now however I am now just panicking I will miscarry again. My symptoms have never been so strong before in a pregnancy, I feel sick, tired, sore boobs etc which are telling me this may be a good sign. However I haven’t made it past 7 weeks before since I had my 8 yo. Do I book an early private scan? To put myself at ease. How do I think differently of this time and try to have hope.
Any words of wisdom welcome.
