I tested +ive on New Years Eve - 2nd diui treatment. The 2ww was bad enough but I think I'm driving myself mad with worry. I haven't got a scan until the 27th Jan!! when I should be about 8 weeks.
I think I just need reassurance that everything is okay. I'm constantly checking when I go to the loo and it's all forever on my mind.
Any ideas what I can do to keep sane? thought I may ring the clinic on MOnday but not too sure if i'll seem a pain and what do I say? I'm worried!
It is a nightmare when you have to wait for your scan and most of us would claim it to be worse then the 2ww. There isn't anything you can do to pass the days away. I know you do hope and pray all will be ok, and I am sure it will be. The thing is they say 2 weeks for another scan and then they will be able to see what they are looking for. If they was to scan you now it would be to early and if they couldn't detect anything that would just make you more of a nervous wreck.
Fab news on getting pg!! I remember the wait for the first scan was longest two weeks of my life, and I was lucky because I scanned at 6wks! Its funny how some clinics scan at 6 and others at 8. At 6 weeks they could only see were looking for a heartbeat and it was pretty scary because they tried to do an external scan but couldn't see for certain so I ended up having an internal as well and luckily they found TWO heartbeats and confirmed I was having twins!
The only thing you can do is try to keep occupied, don't do anything too strenuous, keep drinking lots of water and it will soon be 27th! The funny thing about scans is, you can't wait for them to happen because you want to see what is happening but as the day gets closer you start to get nervous that all will be ok. I've got my 20 weeks scan on Monday and I'm desperate to see them both, but nervous that they'll find something wrong!
I guess what I'm trying to say is we never stop worrying!!!
Hi Lisa
don't know if you remember but I cycled with you on your first treatment. Congratulations again, I can only repeat what the other girls are saying the worry never stops. Like you I thought the 2ww was the worst, but no after a pos result the wait for the first scan was dreadful ( It is worth ringing to see if you will be having an internal or external scan as for an external your bladder needs to be really full, but it doesn't matter for an internal). I had a scan at 7 weeks then was really poorly with OHSS and they scaned me at 8 weeks, but following that scan they admitted me into hospital and I ended up taking loads of paracetomol, codeine then pethadine injections for the pain. They haven't scanned me since and I don't go until the 20th Jan, I am terrified that something could have happened in between.
Sorry started rambling, just ask any questions you want and dont worry about worrying because it is only natural.
I know, that 1st 2ww is bad but the 2nd one just seems to last for ever. It will be round before you know it and like Nikola said you want that date to come so badly and the nearer it gets the more nervous you get. Are you working at the mo? That normally is a distraction. I wasn't and so I was just sitting at home twiddling thumbs whilst being sick with worry and a bad case of tummy bug Please try not to worry. Good luck for the 27th I will be waiting to hear your news.
Lisa Ch, when I was in hospital I was given all sorts of pain killers and anti-sicness drugs and morphine and an MRI scan and was worried it has affected my baby but it all seems ok at the mo I have until Feb 19th until my 23 week scan (my hospital do 23wks not 20wks for some bizarre reason) I just hope the nurses and doctors were right in saying nothing they gave me will affect the baby. Good luck to you too for the 20th.
Thank you very much for your kind words, some time I think we just need someone else to tell us the same old good advice - plain old sit and wait and be positive.
My mum came round yesterday and she said the same, there's not much you can do but wait. Oh well, it's only 2 weeks on tuesday, why me clinic don't do 8 week scans I don't know!

First of all congratulations - I can't help I am afraid - only suggest try and take each day and each hurdle as it comes - I am dreadful due to my history of ectopic and baby being dead at 20 weeks but this is so rare. the first 2ww is a nightmare then you relax a bit - the more you worry the worse it will be - try and take time out to not think about it. I am currently 9 weeks and 2 days and flapping about the next scans. My clinic scan internally at 7 weeks then zilch - back to NHS.
Good luck but as i said most are fine and it is rare to find nothing there
Love

Hi Lisa,
Those first few weeks really do drag by but try and find a good book to get stuck into and lose yourself!!!
Its so nerve racking waiting but time does pass quicker the further on you get.
Take care,
Di
