Hi ladies, can I join in here?
After 7 years of ttc I am finally pregnant after IVF. We are excited, elated and bloody scared all at the same time. It will be lovely to get to know some ladies on here. I can’t actually believe I’m in this section after spending so many years in the ttc section.

I feel like I spend all my time trying not to feel anxious at the moment - does anyone else feel like that? X

I’m feeling ok but I’d totally forgotten about the insane hunger I get when I’m pregnant! 6+3 today and boy do I know it! If I don’t eat I feel very sick but all I want to eat is cheese and eggs!

I was happy, then I had a go at my husband because I hadn’t made him a good enough tea and now I’ve sent him out for milkshake. Hmmm. I think I’m going insane!

Omg I’m the same. I’m desperately trying to just nibble crackers but it’s not working.

I keep reading things about mmc and making myself want to cry. I don’t know why I do it to myself. I’m just so anxious about it happening it’s almost like I want to surround myself with stories of it so I won’t feel alone.

Congrats sunny days. That's amazing news!! I'm alright other than extreme tiredness. I've been back at work 2 days and already I need a break :-D I'm lucky as I've not had anything else other than a few stretchy period pains in my tummy! My first pregnancy was pretty good too though. So fingers crossed!!

I’m exactly the same! We have an early scan book d for when I will be 7+2 and I’m so so nervous! I’m just panicking that something will go wrong!

I’ve been the same my anxiety has been crazy! I can’t quite put my finger on why though. It’s such a horrible feeling.

I have an early scan booked for Saturday (6w5d) I’m hoping that will help! Overall feeling ‘meh’ constant feeling of nausea and can’t determine if I’m starving or going to be sick.

Congrats to the new Mummies joining us, And for the rest of you im joining you on the anxiety train!
Although I was talking to my mum earlier and she said she got Pregnancy paranoia where she thought she had a different cancer every day of the week, she even said she self diagnosed with leprosy when she was pregnant with my sister haha! Lets be glad were not as bat shit as my mum Egh? Wonder where I get it from.
In other news, Ive been on the cusp of shitting myself all day, Hahah sorry!
Anyone else very unsettled at the moment?

TwoBoys I bet you cant wait until your scan, Saturday is so close!

Cornish, I think thats natural, you end up looking through all the post of things that can happen and you just end up shitting yourself up. My current thing to obsess over is Ectopic pregnancies ,I think its natural for us to worry about something that is so precious to us! x

Me too I am constantly starving hungry but have no appetite at all this time, can’t think of anything I want to eat

I am 5 + 6 and still just have tender boobs, felt I’ll monday morning but it quickly passed and haven’t felt sick since!

Here's a strange symptom. Before my first pregnancy I'd had a knee joint injury that required physio. It had pretty much healed but when I was pregnant that knee was really bad again, but the other one wasn't perfect either. I put it down to it having to take extra strain from the injured knee.
Over the pregnancy I got to a point where I couldn't have my legs bent for any period of time as it was so painful. After my son was born the knees remained like this almost for 12 months, but then miraculously, they were both perfect again. I thought they must have healed!
Well now I'm pregnant again it's back!!!!

I've been doing some research and when pregnant your body releases a hormone called relaxin and if you breastfeed the effects from this can continue for a good 12 months after birth. This hormone must be relaxing my knee joints and is causing this! I've also been getting aching in my hips which I got last time too.

I'm glad I know it's not permanent but I'm only 7 weeks and already can't bend. I feel infirm.

Another strange symptom I had last time was I grew maybe 3 or 4 new moles/skin tags. I ended up going to the doctor because I thought I had skin cancer. Instead I found out this was NORMAL in pregnancy and just to keep my eye on them!
Once my son was born, one shrank but the others either disappeared or actually fell off.

Honestly no one tells you this stuff!

Ah thank you all. I’m feeling great thanks, I had very bad cramps last week but they have eased this week and are a lot more mild and come and go. Sore boobs but I’ll take any pregnancy symptoms as they reassure me that I’m still actually pregnant. We had 2 embryos put back in so we are waiting for out viability scan in 4 weeks to see if one or both have taken. I am over the moon that at least 1 has decided to stick around but it would make my life if both of them had. My edd is 26th October at the moment. I still can’t stop doing tests every morning, it’s costing me a fortune. I’m just expecting it all to go wrong any minute but as each day passes it’s another day closer x

Welcome sunnydays and congrats you must be so thrilled after all of this time. Did you have any rounds of IVF before this one?
I'm hoping both of those lovely embryos have stuck for you but know you'll be thrilled if it is only one! Keep yourself busy for the next 4 weeks and hopefully it will fly in. Am I right in calculating you will be 9 weeks by then?
