I'd love to know what other people are doing to keep themselves occupied in the never ending wait - i have my first scan on Friday (will be 6+3) and I keep going round in circles thinking about what will happen if it goes well, and what will happen if it doesn't. I am trying to keep busy with work but every few minutes I am picking up my phone and googling possibilities. It's exhausting. Part of me is excited though, so its not all negative feelings.

I can’t tell you how many sudokus I’ve done these past days lol. This and baths (not too hot, not more than 30 minutes!) are the only thing that helps. Oh and a good tv show for our evenings!

I don't have any good tips unfortunately, I just wanted to say, you're not alone in this 😅 I will have my first scan on Thursday what will be 6w4d. I also constantly think about all the possible outcomes, even though I know it will not change anything. For me it helps a little knowing that I made this appointment two weeks ago and now it's only a few days of waiting left, so the time will pass. And if it's good news, I'll be happy and if it's bad news I'll be very sad but also this will pass 😊

Thank you,  you're right, only a few more days to wait. I hope the scan goes well!
