Just got my BFP... scary times!

[Aaisrie]

Just got my BFP tonight, 20DPO and now the scary times begin. After 7 early losses in the last year I'm petrified. The fertility Dr I've been seeing told me as soon as I get my BFP to phone and book in with the early pregnancy clinic for a scan at 6w to confirm heartbeat... I know I'm gonna be terrified that there'll be nothing there. The lines on the test were so dark, the test line is nearly black [it's a pink test] and it came up before the wee even reached the control square so I know my HCG must be okay... so far

Any advice to calm my fears??

Delighted for you huni and keeping everything crossed it all goes well

Only advice is just the general stuff, take it easy and set yourself wee goals and milestones xx

Thanks Loui, it's appreciated. How can something be so exciting and scary all at the same time!!

 

[Loui1001]

I know it's such a contradiction!!! When I was pregnant last time I was completely hyper, so excited and to be honest really naive, this time I'm so scared and am being much more cautious.....it's no way to be.

Did you get your scan booked?

 

[Aaisrie]

OMG You used the EXACT same words I did, I was so naive with my DD like nothing could go wrong. When I first went to the Dr with her it was really early and didn't show on their test and the Dr told me it was a chem and I argued with her that I was preg!!! I SO wouldn't do that now!! I'm booked to see the GP tomorrow, 9:40 so then I can get referred for an early scan - V nervous :S Hopefully I can get in at the Ulster, that's where I had my DD and I really want the same MW I saw through my last pregnancy!

 

[Loui1001]

Every little step is so exciting, like a milestone down!!! I'm sure there'll be no probs getting referred to the Ulster and hoping you'll get your scan date soon. We're back at Coleraine tomorrow for another scan and really hoping we leave in a good mood, have always left there under a cloud in the past

I definitely learned from last time, this time round only our mums and my sister know cos I almost feel that we tempted fate the last time by telling early - isn't it awful what you get into your head?

 

[Aaisrie]

Yea I totally get what you mean. I've told my mum, my best friend [who happens to be my partners mum!] and a couple of close friends who have been with me and know about my early losses so I know I have the support there should anything go amiss. I'm so nervous about tomorrow... like even though the fertility Dr [at the Downe] said I NEED an early scan at 6 weeks that the Dr tomorrow might just blow me off or something... if that happened I'd probably phone my old MW and she'd probably get me booked in LOL but probably after saying "No you can't be fucking pregnant, please no" lol

Hey,
Hope you got on well this morning and got referred for your scan, esp as your fertility Dr recommended it!!!! 6 week scan definitely sounds better than waiting until 12 weeks, I swear time slows down like crazy in first tri
