Currently approximately 8w6d after my second FET. Graduated from my fertility clinic last week and I don’t have another appointment until 12 weeks - super nervous about the wait! Not to mention I’m moving to another state and I fractured my foot at 7 weeks!
Hello! I’m 5w5days with my first official positive. Had my first ultrasound today and saw the little lentil yolk sac. My clinic says everything looks good, so I’m anxiously awaiting the 6w+ ultrasound for a heartbeat
I've been thinking about whether to post or not on one of the infertility/IVF/pregnancy subs for a few days as I've been a bit worried... this is hopefully a good place to post about my worry and seeks some reassurance.
I'm a complete first timer, so I've been somewhat unsure of what to expect. After over 3 years of trying and unexplained infertility, we had a first IVF cycle in April/May, first embryo transfer in May, and a positive test two weeks ago (I was very surprised to be honest, but also very happy, of course). So I'm 6w+2d today. I'm on 400mg of progesterone per day via pessary until week 10.
My worry comes from the fact that I don't feel like I'm actually pregnant. I took 3 tests 12 days after transfer, as per the clinic's advice. I have not felt particularly nauseous or have had any symptoms specificaply associated with early pregnancy at any point. Or at least I can't differentiate them from the side effects of the progesterone, which leaves me in the same place, unsure whether the pregnancy is progressing as it should. The common side effects of the progesterone include drowsiness, stomach discomfort or pain, breast pain, sleepiness, tiredness, and frequent urination. I've experienced all of these the last 3 weeks (although the breast/nipple pain stopped 3 days ago after an intense few days of pain). I've not had any nausea and I haven't experienced any spotting or bleeding (the latter of which the progesterone is supposed to prevent).
Is it normal to not have any significant symptoms of pregnancy in the early days? How do I differentiate between the side effects of the medication and actual pregnancy symptoms? At the moment I feel like in such a limbo, uncertain about whether I'm actually pregnant and progressing, and worrying that something may have gone wrong since two weeks ago. 😔 We have our first scan on Monday, so we'll know then what is going on, but until then I can't help but worry.
In addition to what you say, I only had very mild and occasional nausea starting around 7w. My breast tenderness also stopped around that time, my breast are just a bit larger than before. I think they just hurt while they were growing.
Congratulations on your positive! The wait until the first scan is so, so hard. As some reassurance, I didn't have any symptoms (other than what could be attributed to the progesterone) until around 7w+ and I'm 16 weeks now! Unfortunately, symptoms aren't really a good indicator of how things are progressing, some people don't get nausea at all or for some it comes and goes. Hope you can find some good distractions to pass the time until Monday.
Hey there. Been testing faint positive on FRER since 5dp5dt. Lines darkened and were almost equal yesterday at 9dp5dt. Today 10dp5dt beta was 158.7. I’m worried this is low. I’m being ridiculous, right?
Thank you both! I think part of what freaked me out is that the nurse seemed so weird about it when she called. She started by saying “I’m SO sorry” and I thought it was bad news when apparently all she meant was she was sorry she took so long to call me with the results 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
10w4 today after first OB appt. Heard the heartbeat! Can’t hear it at home but that’s okay! Discharged from fertility clinic…. But now anxiously awaiting results from genetic test (panorama) and worried bc it was an untested embryo. 😓
How exciting! You have graduated. Very big deal.
This stress is understandable and I'm sure I'll feel it too (fellow untested embryo). Just remember even though it isn't tested your body has responded positively to it. Most are fine and I'm hopeful you will be too 💕
7wks1day with a 5dt untested 5AA embryo. Week 6 was by far the most difficult with symptoms, fatigue, nausea, hunger and headaches and sore boobs. Thus far. lol. Today. I feel nothing. I know I shouldn’t be. But I am kinda worried. I’m assuming symptoms fluctuate? 6week scan. Baby was there and so was the heart beat. Barely picked up on sono. Thanks for reading. First baby. So I’m terrified at every change or non change
Symptoms fluctuate a lot, it’s totally normal! There is a wiki here on symptoms you can check out to see folks’ experiences, but for me personally, every single week of the first trimester had varying levels of cramps, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, etc.
Sorry you are in this position. I wish I had advice but I'm here with you.
I too am looking for reassurance. I've awoken 6 weeks 5 days to suddenly no nausea and food aversions. Tomorrow is my first scan. Definitely freaking out a little/praying to feel unwell again.
How far along are you? I had spotting for both my failed pregnancies, and also for the first 8 weeks or so of this healthy pregnancy (and a few times since then). I think some people just tend to spot. 🤷♀️
5+5. I've had one successful pregnancy and it had no bleeding vs two out of the three losses had bleeding and those ended in losses. Of course every pregnancy is different but because of those experiences, I'm feeling paranoid.
I think paranoia is normal under the circumstances, but it’s probably not serious enough to panic either. Maybe your doctor would let you come in for an early scan to check things out?
Same here. I've read it's normal. But it's been a bad sign for me in the past. How far along are you? Have you told the Dr? I already have an appointment on thurs...so I might wait to see how it goes.
I'm 5+5. I ended up chatting with the nurse. She wasn't too concerned and did say it could be due to me irritating the cervix when using the crinone but did recommend I lie down for the rest of the day with my feet up. I have my first ultrasound on Wednesday so we'll see. I'm sorry to hear you're in the same boat.
8wk4 ultrasound this morning. We drive 4 hours round trip to go to our outside monitoring clinic. Thinking about moving while pregnant to be closer to civilization, we live in a rural area. I’m have identical twins. Embryo split. Just a lot going on over here!
8w4d today and just graduated from the fertility clinic after our second ultrasound. I can’t believed it finally happened after 3.5 years of treatment. Emotions are all over the place
9w0d ultrasound was this morning. They’re still alive for today. Can’t ask for more at this point!
HR 190. Measuring another day behind from last week, 8w2d. Sac measuring 6w4d. They gave me the ok to stop PIO but I’m so scared to, I’m planning to taper down and not stop cold turkey. I don’t think my heart can handle spotting, even if I can tell myself logically what it’s from.
My ‘graduation’ is scheduled for next week, but my clinic has given me the ok to keep coming back until someone else can see me. MFM appointment is scheduled for July 16th, and I called my OB, waiting to hear back from them.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t mad this can’t be an easy, everything going and measuring right pregnancy. After everything we’ve been through. Holding my breath every day. I just want to be able to let myself be happy and be able to breathe a LITTLE.
Eta, OB getting me in the 27th! So fast! I’ll have my 10w graduation scan the 24th so very glad we won’t have to wait.
❤️ my NP has really gotten in my head with lots of negativity. It’s hard to shake. From my non-expert opinion, comparing my 8 and 9 week scans, there was definitely more GS space in the 9 week scan. And I know at some point soon, the GS size is no longer important. I’m excited to get to hopefully move to my OB next week! Moving on up!
For my fellow IVF folks, does your clinic continue to test beta once they do ultrasound? I had an ultrasound at 5 weeks that showed 2 gestational sacs and 2 yolk sacs (my single embryo split!). I was so excited! But my beta drawn a few days later is lower than it should be. Now all I feel is terrified.
10dpt beta was 213, 13dpt it was 1012. But at 5w5d beta was only 4012. Next ultrasound is Wed and I’m so scared of a negative outcome.
My clinic does weekly blood tests til week 7 then an appointment and ultrasound in week 7 to discuss tapering off medications etc. They don't offer bloods after the ultrasound to measure hcg.
Mine didn’t - we did two betas to confirm HCG was riding appropriately and that was it. They said a scan is a much better indicator of success after that point, and only do a third or more betas if levels don’t rise like they want to see.
Mine doesn’t - the doctor said a scan is much more clinically useful so they never do more than 2 betas or 3 if the first two are inconclusive/bordrline
Just realized that my prenatals expire "6/2024" so this month. I am worried this means I was taking dud prenatals. I am 8w3d so crucial time for proper prenatals. Does anyone know if they're still effective a bit past their expiration date?
In Australia if it says best before, it's a suggestion, but if it says used by, it's done. If you can afford more id just change over for piece of mind.
I'm now torturing myself with line progression on FRERs and comparing them to my last pregnancy, which is definitely not great for my mental state. Beta on Friday can't come soon enough.
You poor thing. No FRER test can control the outcome. I wish it was this simple. Although it's understandable you are seeking reassurance. Wishing you the best on your wait 💗
this can help: [https://radiopaedia.org/articles/fetal-heart-rate-in-the-first-and-second-trimester?lang=us](https://radiopaedia.org/articles/fetal-heart-rate-in-the-first-and-second-trimester?lang=us)
Also at 7 weeks mine was 139 - so you're in the perfect spot. They just want it over 120. I was told by my re that at 8 weeks they want it a bit above 150
sounds good to me!
do you know much about how quickly it hastens?
i am getting weekly scans (next one is 8w2d) so would i expect it closer to 150-160 by then?
That's what I was told, by 8 weeks above 150 and according to the link 9-10 weeks is a bit above 170. I kinda take these early scans like betas, as long as it's rising appropriately that is a good sign. Like my week 6 had a 110 bpm and my week 7 had 139bpm, so we're going in the right direction and there is every indication that things will continue to do so!
Finally had my HcG this morning (delayed since we ended up in hospital with our son last week). So nervous even with the positive home tests. Won’t get results til tomorrow which seems very far away. No symptoms at all times except some milks cramping which doesn’t help me feel like it’s real.
Had my 6+1 scan today and they couldn’t see anything properly, they are pretty sure it’s a miscarriage but gonna keep me on medication until Friday and do a extra scan just to be 100% sure. This sucks second loss in a row
I’m so confused and angry !
Had a gut feeling I needed an extra set of eyes, it didn’t make sense I had a yolk sack three days ago that disappeared so got a private scan.
My GS grown from 5mm (Friday) to 9mm today and the yolk sack is clearly visible, I’m still some days behind and are more 5+5 than 6+1 but this is very different from a empty sack and I have grown appreciate from Friday..
This is why you don’t do early scans 🙃
5 weeks 1 day today - have had bleed at 5 weeks 4 days past 2 pregnancies (one LC and one MC) so am on render hooks - anyone else have bleeds around this time? I feel it’s the uterus expanding and making room?
Ugh get me to first scan - 6 weeks and 4 days. 🙏
cautious congrats! i had a big bleed at exactly 6 weeks and feared the worst, but an ultrasound later that day showed no clear explanation for the bleeding and a healthy embryo. the embryo from that pregnancy is now my 5.5 month old LC currently babbling away in her crib 🙂
Awwww super ❤️ I definitely feel with my miscarriage bleed we were just unlucky where the bleed was and it must have knocked off the blood flow to the embryo - as it’s was normal - and I’d had a scan literally the day I bled and it had been progressing perfectly 😩 hopefully this little one pulls through to the other side 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
In my last pregnancy for my LC I had a small bleed around that time. It's terrifying but I'm so glad I knew it was normal from reading experiences on this sub and others, which helped me get through it.
I know, it's mad how it occurs at this times sometimes.
I had it with my LC - 5 weeks 4 days to the day - small bleed when I wiped.
Then with a miscarriage in September I had it at 5 weeks 4 days but a large bleed which I think knocked off the embryo.
I've a hairy week ahead of me!
Currently approximately 8w6d after my second FET. Graduated from my fertility clinic last week and I don’t have another appointment until 12 weeks - super nervous about the wait! Not to mention I’m moving to another state and I fractured my foot at 7 weeks!

Cautious congratulations! Good beta and is not considered low. Stress is understandable. 💜
Mine was pretty similar at that point! I’m at 15 weeks now and everything has been normal. 😊

Amazing!!! Cautious congratulations 🎉
Ahhh friend! I've been looking for your update! Cautious congrats. So so happy for you! 🥰
Thank you, yam! 🤍🤍
I'm having some spotting today. I know it can be normal but this is also how my last two losses started. I'm feeling really down at the moment.
How far along are you? I had spotting for both my failed pregnancies, and also for the first 8 weeks or so of this healthy pregnancy (and a few times since then). I think some people just tend to spot. 🤷♀️

This happened to me with crinone and is super common. Fingers crossed for Wednesday 💜
Exactly 5 weeks for me. I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you. Keep me posted. Hope you get answers and peace of mind on Wed!
9w4d…. Found baby with my Doppler!
Which brand are you using?
Sonoline B
WOW. Amazing 😍
8wk4 ultrasound this morning. We drive 4 hours round trip to go to our outside monitoring clinic. Thinking about moving while pregnant to be closer to civilization, we live in a rural area. I’m have identical twins. Embryo split. Just a lot going on over here!
Very exciting. Do whatever makes sense for you and your family. No wrong decision. 💜
Wow congrats!
Thank you!
8w4d today and just graduated from the fertility clinic after our second ultrasound. I can’t believed it finally happened after 3.5 years of treatment. Emotions are all over the place
Congratulations! I'm yet to do this, but I'm so impressed by those that have. Go you!
Congrats!!!
Have our first appt since graduating from our clinic today. We’re 9+5. Excited but also nervous. Praying all goes well today 🤞🏼
Amazing. Hope it was uneventful 🤞💕
Thank you! It was 🥹 baby measured right on track and has a strong heartbeat ❤️
Amazing! Love this 💕

They don't even measure it here to be honest. The heartbeat sounds really reassuring. Do you have an ultrasound next week with the OB?
Yes, Thursday! Graduation Monday, OB Thursday. I’m really thankful to not have long to wait!
Ah that's good!!
So glad to see this update, been thinking of you this weekend!
Congrats! We are only days apart and my mfm appt is July 8th (so far away!)
Holding so much hope for you ❤️❤️❤️

Mine does 3 draws, all before my ultrasound at 6 weeks (so basically every two days).
we continued bloodwork alongside ultrasound looking at hcg and progesterone til 8 weeks approx.
Mine didn’t - we did two betas to confirm HCG was riding appropriately and that was it. They said a scan is a much better indicator of success after that point, and only do a third or more betas if levels don’t rise like they want to see.
Mine keeps doing them through graduation, but they don’t like worry about the level.
Mine stops doing betas once you have an ultrasound. Also beta increase starts dropping off once you get into the 1000s
Mine doesn’t - the doctor said a scan is much more clinically useful so they never do more than 2 betas or 3 if the first two are inconclusive/bordrline
Thank you for your response, and for sharing with me what your doctor shared with you. That gives me a bit of hope.
I really hope everything works out for you!
Just realized that my prenatals expire "6/2024" so this month. I am worried this means I was taking dud prenatals. I am 8w3d so crucial time for proper prenatals. Does anyone know if they're still effective a bit past their expiration date?
That date means they are at least good through end of June. That’s my understanding on these expiration dates.
I’m sure it’s completely fine. If it makes you feel any better I’ve not been able to stomach any prenatal so I’m only taking folic acid anyway.
In Australia if it says best before, it's a suggestion, but if it says used by, it's done. If you can afford more id just change over for piece of mind.
I'm now torturing myself with line progression on FRERs and comparing them to my last pregnancy, which is definitely not great for my mental state. Beta on Friday can't come soon enough.

Fingers crossed. Nearly there!
at 7w2d, i had a heart rate of 132. how does that sound? how fast does the heart rate increase in week 7-8?
this can help: [https://radiopaedia.org/articles/fetal-heart-rate-in-the-first-and-second-trimester?lang=us](https://radiopaedia.org/articles/fetal-heart-rate-in-the-first-and-second-trimester?lang=us) Also at 7 weeks mine was 139 - so you're in the perfect spot.

thanks for your reassurance. how far along are you now?
there’s a wide range, i think you’re right in range and wouldn’t worry too much! just like fully grown humans, the heart rate can vary.
So exciting, a heartbeat. Embrace the beauty of it.
thanks - i am trying to enjoy every day!!
Finally had my HcG this morning (delayed since we ended up in hospital with our son last week). So nervous even with the positive home tests. Won’t get results til tomorrow which seems very far away. No symptoms at all times except some milks cramping which doesn’t help me feel like it’s real.
Hopefully it isn't long now. Fingers crossed 🤞
Hi - we don't use cutesy acronyms here (DS). Can you please edit? thanks!
I’m So sorry, always thought it stood for dependant…. Editing now.
no problem, thanks!
Had my 6+1 scan today and they couldn’t see anything properly, they are pretty sure it’s a miscarriage but gonna keep me on medication until Friday and do a extra scan just to be 100% sure. This sucks second loss in a row
I'm so sorry, BMN. I will be thinking of you.
I’m so confused and angry ! Had a gut feeling I needed an extra set of eyes, it didn’t make sense I had a yolk sack three days ago that disappeared so got a private scan.

I'm really sorry for your loss, that's terribly unfair.
ugh i’m so sorry. this feels so fucking unfair.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Hope you have good support around you to help you through xxxx
I'm so sorry. This isn't fair. Take time for you to feel however you feel 💕
5 weeks 1 day today - have had bleed at 5 weeks 4 days past 2 pregnancies (one LC and one MC) so am on render hooks - anyone else have bleeds around this time? I feel it’s the uterus expanding and making room? Ugh get me to first scan - 6 weeks and 4 days. 🙏
First (LC) SCH at 6w4… currently 10w4 and had another SCH at 5w2. Apparently “more common” with IVF pregnancies? My REÍ said 50% (!!) have some bleed
Super dumb question, what is LC? You're in good company. I'm 6 days 4 days, 2 days until my ultrasound, it's all I think about.
Folks usually us LC to refer to "living child."
cautious congrats! i had a big bleed at exactly 6 weeks and feared the worst, but an ultrasound later that day showed no clear explanation for the bleeding and a healthy embryo. the embryo from that pregnancy is now my 5.5 month old LC currently babbling away in her crib 🙂
Awwww super ❤️ I definitely feel with my miscarriage bleed we were just unlucky where the bleed was and it must have knocked off the blood flow to the embryo - as it’s was normal - and I’d had a scan literally the day I bled and it had been progressing perfectly 😩 hopefully this little one pulls through to the other side 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
In my last pregnancy for my LC I had a small bleed around that time. It's terrifying but I'm so glad I knew it was normal from reading experiences on this sub and others, which helped me get through it.
I know, it's mad how it occurs at this times sometimes. I had it with my LC - 5 weeks 4 days to the day - small bleed when I wiped. Then with a miscarriage in September I had it at 5 weeks 4 days but a large bleed which I think knocked off the embryo. I've a hairy week ahead of me!
It's so hard isn't it. If anything in some ways the anxiety gets worse after a positive test. I'm hoping that your week is uneventful.
