Caz,<br>I never ever in my life imagined myself either being pregnant or having a child - I have never ever thought of myself becoming a mum - but weirdly at the same time I couldn't imagine myself and
dh being on our own for the rest of our lives, without children.<br><br>Also, I have never been maternal, always been very career focused (until now when I couldn't give a stuff about it!) and don't particularly like other people's children, esp in supermarkets (that hasn't changed!)!<br><br>During the cycle and the
2ww I was really positive and desperate for it to work and kept telling myself that it had already worked (what you put out to the Universe comes back to you, so your
PMA needs to be that it has worked, rather than you hope it works if you see what I mean. You can just say 'This ivf cycle has worked, I am now pregnant' over and over again and that is it - what you put out you get back).<br><br>So when I got a positive result I was really shocked as I just couldn't imagine myself being
pg, and I certainly didn't feel any different during the 2 ww - i just felt like AF was imminent (foul temper, weepy, tired, terrible af pains, terrible sore boobs), so I just thought it was a worse period than usual.<br><br>I'm only 8 and a bit weeks now, and apart from sore boobs and nausea don't feel any different than I ever did, and certainly haven't felt impending motherhood washing over me in a big life-changing way - more phobia about childbirth!<br><br>Just remember the positive affirmations, take it easy and think of the pink line on the
hpt!<br>love sally x
