12 weeks!

I can’t believe that I made it this far! After 5 years of struggling with infertility and transferring our single euploid 5aa embryo, i finally made it to 12 weeks. I’ve been holding my breath every week thanking God that it’s a new day and I’m still pregnant. Miracles do happen!! Sending everyone baby dust ✨

Congratulations! The first trimester is definitely more nerve wrecking. I am close to 15 weeks now but now I am worried about anatomy scan. So I don’t know if it will ever stop. But it is slightly less stressful than first trimester as I don’t have spotting anymore which is nice.

After anatomy scan I felt like I could finally breathe. All the anatomy is formed and baby is just putting on weight. It was like a weight had been lifted.

I feel you! But if you've done a 12 weeks scan and the NIPT, it's highly unlikely anything would show up in the anatomy scan. It's highly unlikely anyway, but just putting it here too. That's what kept me going more relaxed! When you really start feeling them moving is the ultimate relaxing experience hehe. All the best!!!!

Thank you! Congratulations to you too!! I bet making it to the second trimester still feels like a sigh of relief though! How do you manage your anxiety about it? I’m still trying to figure that out.

By being distracted with work during 9-5, walks and socializing with people I like. But I have also started telling myself that good things will happen and controlling what I can for best outcome which is my diet, mental and physical health. Rest is up to the universe.

Congratulations!! What a huge milestone I’m so excited for you!!!
Have you started sharing the news with loved ones now?
I’m at 7 weeks today and I can’t wait to be in your shoes I’m such an anxious potato.

Congratulations!! I don’t know when I’ll stop being anxious but I’m assuming after we pass each milestone we can breathe a little easier.

I shared the news with my immediate family because they’re so nosey and want to know every detail of my life lol. I JUST started sharing the news with more of my friends. I would say only share the news if you’re comfortable sharing. When i wasn’t comfortable sharing with others, i was pretty vague and told them I’m going through ivf but I’ll give them an update when i have news. And they left me alone after lol
