Anxiety?
Is anyone else experiencing anxiety?
This is our second round of IVF and we’ve finally got our first ever positive. We had our 7 week scan last Monday, baby had a strong heartbeat and was even wiggling slightly.
But one week on and I’m still full of fear that this won’t work, I was fine for a few days after the scan but now it’s come back worse.
I also feel my nausea has stopped which is making me panic more.
I don’t know whether to book another scan or am I just being silly and going to end up spending money i don’t need to?
We’ve started to tell people but I just don’t even feel excited now because I’m so scared that baby won’t stick 😢

With my first (IVF too) I kept a diary of my symptoms and it looks like they came and went. I know the feeling of anxiety. My advice to you is have faith, have fun and keep busy. Maybe book a 10 week scan as well?
Feeling the same! I feel like early pregnancy is even more stressful than the IVF process … I think if you are able to pay for the scans there is no harm in doing them often. I already had a scan at 6 weeks/8weeks and one this week as well.

I had three private scans before my nhs dating scan with my first. I’d previously had three recurrent miscarriages and needed the reassurance. Do whatever you need to help you through this early stage. It’s a tough and lonely time. Sending love ❤️
