Hi Possums

I found that my anxiety decreased a little bit after my 12 week scan, then substantially after my 20 week scan.

I found the first 12 weeks really hard, it was just a time that I had to endure.

I still worry, but I'm not in a state of constant panic now, which is an improvement!

It's a good idea to continue the HCG monitoring, good rising levels did provide some reassurance in the early days. And if your obstetrician is prepared to do an extra scan or two before you get to 12 weeks, that can really help as well. I guess your fertility clinic will do a scan for you some time around 6/7 weeks? Seeing the heartbeat is a great start, and means your chances are really very good.

Wishing you all the best for your pregnancy, it's not easy after a loss and then fert treatment, but you will get through it!

Sending you loads of

Devon
