IVF pregnancy 5 weeks in and VERY anxious

Hi all,
We’re been on our IVF journey for 3 years now and have failed once and miscarried once (blighted ovum).
We find ourselves this time having a positive pregnancy test and I’m now awaiting our viability scan.

The thing is I’m so overwhelmed and frightened that this isn’t real. I’ve bled once last week but my nurse tested my HGC levels and said they were still very high. I relaxed a little, began feeling super nauseous everyday which I took as good. Now at week 5 the nausea has worn off and now I’m just without an appetite. Is this normal? Im reading so many conflicting blogs. I so sure I’m about to go through the same. Can a blighted ovum be something that happens again and again?
I’m trying to stay positive but this process is just horrible. I can’t feel the joy of this until there’s a physical baby in my arms. I have a few friends who are pregnant but as they haven’t had IVF, I don’t think they’ll understand my high level of fear 😞
just looking for people who feel my overwhelming fear and perhaps have positive stories to share ❤️

When I first tested positive I had instant nausea the next day, it was really bizarre, and really sore boobs, and lots of little stretching pains for a few days.. Then it all just went away for a couple of weeks! But then my real nausea started around week 7 and lasted until week 16ish? I think its just one of those things that comes and goes at different times for different people.
I do understand what you mean though, if you feel sick it makes you feel like things are progressing, but there is nothing you can do so try and focus on the positives for now and don't let the worry get to you too much xx
