Last year I suffered a miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy and this year have been going through IVF and finally pregnant again. Had two rounds of IVF with PGD with one frozen transfer which is now my current pregnancy. I’m only 5 weeks and I’m scared to death I’m going to lose this bubby. It feels completely different to be pregnant after losing three babies previously. It’s something I very much want but just feel so anxious and don’t want to show any emotion or excitement as afraid it will all be taken away from me. Have a second blood test next week (first showed good Hcg) and then hopefully an early ultrasound to allay my fears on another ectopic.
Living in limbo land at the moment. I’m wondering when I am going to feel happy and not anxious anymore. Perhaps when I hold my baby in my arms.
Congratulations Sadnessandgrief on your pregnancy. It’s completely understandable to be anxious and to not get too excited, especially after going through so much loss. You’re right, it probably won’t feel real until you hold your precious baby in your arms.
You’ve given me hope that it might work for me. I have been through two rounds of IVF with no success. We have three frozen embryos that we are going to start transferring next month. I have really been doubtful that it will ever work for us, but you have given me hope, so thank you.
I wish you well and really hope for an uneventful nine months. Good luck for your HCG test next week, I’m here to talk if you need xxx
Congratulations sadnessandgrief! I have also just found out I’m 5 weeks pregnant and totally petrified it’s another ectopic. I lost my right tube last year and told my remaining tube was blocked. I was also doing ivf and was on day 10 of down regulation but had not had a bleed. I was told I had to do a test before I started stims so I did…A big fat positive! The ivf clinic said the down meds would not have caused any harm and I will be having an ultrasound next week. I’m hoping and praying this baby is in the right place…but this being in limbo is horrible. I’m sick with worry. Wishing you lots of luck.
