Month: September 2019

8 weeks, I’m so happy we have made it this far 🙌🏻🌈⁣
⁣
So this past week has been another anxiety fuelled week and I’m no longer kidding myself that the next few weeks are going to be any different. I’m hoping that once we hit 12 weeks the anxiety will at least lessen. I’m literally petrified that we’re going to go to a scan and hear the words “I’m sorry” I know that the odds are on our side now but with one previous loss, infertility and hearing so many stories of later miscarriages I can’t help but be terribly anxious. It’s a shame because it’s robbing me of any current excitement about the baby 😔 Hubby who was anxious initially too has now moved into the excitement phase after seeing the heartbeat 3 times. Hopefully I can join in there soon.⁣
⁣
A huge thank you to all you wonderful ladies who have done your best to keep me sane and reach out to check on me 🥰 I really appreciated you all commenting yesterday when I started to worry about measuring behind- I can re read those comments when the anxiety kicks back in 😊⁣
⁣
So symptoms this past week! ( please remind me to read this when I panic about have no symptoms! )⁣
⁣
🌸Sore boobs ( that came and went )⁣
⁣
That’s it! I maybe has very mild nausea for a day at the start but that’s it. So ladies ( and this is rich coming from me ) try not to worry when you have no symptoms, or the suddenly vanish! We saw a beautiful heartbeat last night 💗⁣
⁣
Kicked off 8 weeks today feeling quite nauseous until about 2pm and sore boobs! I will no doubt panic when this eases off in a couple of days 🙈 Also, I have had brown spotting since 13dpo ( test day) and it stopped 2 days ago too 🤷‍♀️ I worried about that too 😂 Who worries that their spotting stopped?! 🙈 Nutter!⁣

My mornings started with vomit, every day. When I thought they weren’t going to start that way they always did and I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be so happy to be sick. The vomiting often led to a blood nose, which I’m prone to when I am fatigued. So each morning my face was like a crime scene and I would pull myself together and go to work. I never once took feeling unwell during pregnancy for granted and I am aware that sounds crazy. But how lucky was I to be so sick because my body was busy making a new life. How lucky was I that I was sick because I was pregnant.
My 12 week scan was nerve racking. I can’t say whether it was more or less scary than my 8 week one. After miscarriage and loss I think they’re all anxiety inducing. My partner came with me this time knowing that this was a triggering time frame for me given that my scan had been fine in May and then I lost our first babe in June and told at the 12 week scan. The cold jelly on my stomach, probe hit my skin; there was my rainbow. Looking more like a tiny person. The minute I had the dream I would conceive I knew this was my son. The little boy I dreamt of months earlier on the plane. The sonographer asked if I was going to find out the gender. I said I already knew it was a boy. She asked if I had done the harmony test and knew that way? I said no. She smiled and said I think you might be right but I guess we’ll have to wait a little longer to be sure. I didn’t need to wait, I knew. My scan went well, anterior placenta and my little pea was safe.

At 13 weeks I went to the toilet, blood. Tiny amount but blood. My heart fell into my feet. My partner took me to the emergency department, poor guy was trying to offer hope. He tried reminding me bleeding in early pregnancy can be normal and all I could do was think “fresh blood, not brown, fresh is not good”. The nurses asked my questions, I responded just wanting them to scan me, show me my baby. I remember saying “yes I’ve been pregnant before, no living children”. They were lovely, they understood my urgency. They directed me to imaging. (Continue in comments)

Bedrest day 5.
I HAVENT BEEN SICK TODAY!! 🥳 Don’t get me wrong, I want to. 🤢 But I haven’t 😁 hooray. (Hope I didn’t just jinx it)
My anxiety is slowly getting better.
Which is worrying because I don’t want to get too excited.
Its weird not being able to do the school run, I’m so glad I have so much help 💕
5 days to ultrasound!
Cant wait to see that heartbeat. 💖

Los oligoelementos como el zinc, el cobre y el selenio son esenciales para la salud reproductiva. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la asociación entre las concentraciones plasmáticas maternas de zinc, cobre y selenio, y el tiempo hasta el embarazo y la subfertilidad. Se incluyeron mujeres australianas (n =1060). Aquellas con niveles de zinc más bajos y concentraciones más bajas de selenio tuvieron un tiempo más largo hasta el logro del embarazo. No hubo asociaciones entre el cobre y el tiempo de logro de embarazo o subfertilidad. Las concentraciones más bajas de selenio y zinc que probablemente reflejan una ingesta dietética más baja, se asocian con un tiempo más prolongado para conseguir el embarazo. Se requiere más investigación que respalde este trabajo, pero se puede inferir sobre recomendaciones para aumentar la ingesta de oligoelementos maternos en mujeres que planean un embarazo. .

I thought the two week wait would be the hardest part. But I am actually finding early pregnancy the hardest mentally. I’m in complete denial and convinced I’m no longer pregnant. I’m obsessed that I’m going to loose this pregnancy. Trying to get into a positive mindset but it’s so hard. I have no symptoms what so ever and this is worrying me.. I’m currently 5 weeks 3 days and going slightly crazy! Has anyone else experienced severe anxiety in early pregnancy!? #ivfsupport #5weekspregnant #ttccommunity #earlypregnancy #nkcells #intralipid #frozenembryotransfer
