trying to absorb it all, think ahead, yet stay in the moment. It's so hard.

worrying
I'm in the same boat as you and am 6 weeks today. I will say after each blood work my nerves calmed. Then the worrying and anxiety set right back in. I've called my REs office like 7 times over silly stuff but I can't help it. I've cried so many times just worrying if all will be ok. I posted about anxiety on the pregnancy board recently and got some good advice! I'll bump the thread for you.

Re: worrying
It will be that way for a long time. I felt relief after every successful blood or sono and would be worried a few hours later and counting the minutes until the next one. I was excited to be pregnant but almost scared to admit it to myself because it would be more to lose if something went wrongsomehow. Try to breathe, vent away on here, try to keep busy, do something nice for yourself. No real solution for the fear but know everything you are feeling is normal. Prayers for a healthy 9 months to you

Re: worrying
Thank you. I will look at the other board. It's not too active, so I just was trying to reach out to someone. This is hard! I have been through this before as I do have a child but had a loss during that pg as well as 2 others. So I just don't know what to do …how to handle the waiting…how to handle showing already, so many things I am struggling with. Thank you both.

Re: worrying
Try to think positive thoughts. The stress and anxiety isn't good for you or the baby. Try to do things that are fun and relaxing to keep your mind off the negative. Meditation is very helpful too! Congrats. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy. Wish me luck too- my 1st IVF retrieval is tomorrow!

worrying
I'm with you! Every time I do some sort of test that is reassuring I feel better for like a day and then go back to worrying. I'm 8 weeks now and have my regular ob appointment tomorrow and again I can't wait for an ultrasound to see the heartbeat. My family thinks I'm nuts, but they don't understand after going through infertility and being hyper monitored it's hard to stop worrying stop thinking about it and relax.

Hi. Thank you for writing. Have you heard the heartbeat yet? I am getting a repeat beta next week and scan to see the sac. The wait is awful, not that I have not been through this before. But I don't feel too much, which is why it's worse. I am now doing HPTs every 2 days, so that is hard for me too…not that seeing the line means nothing is wrong, but I look to see if the line has darkened. I am afraid of being let down again.Did you see the sac first, then the heartbeat? If so, can you tell me how far along you were for each?

worrying
I am 24 weeks pregnant and still worry. Just a few minutes ago I felt a weird cramp and I always think the worse. I think going through fertility treatments and the ups and downs of it all really make you even more worried. I had an early miscarriage before this pregnancy so now I am always worried. I am also really excited and soooo very happy to be where I am. It is such a long journey for us. It is never just 9 months it is more then that and for some many years. This process is the worst thing I have ever been through and I know (I already have twins) that the end result is just the best feeling in the world. Hang in there!

Re: worrying
Same boat as you, before every visit I was prepared to hear the worse. Then you see the tech wiggling around and say "there it is" what a relief but still worried. I felt a little better after every visit but still had hesitation. Took us 3 years to get here, and it happened naturally how did this happen? so hard to believe! too good to be true all these thoughts in my head. I am now 11 weeks and haven't had a sono in 2 weeks, going in next week and freaking out. How will I go through my whole pregnancy like this. Its the scar of infertility which I believe never leaves. Also so much exposure to online resources when googling all you read is about miscarriages and horrible incidents. My DH has been great and understands, not sure if your religious but I have been praying every night and putting holy water on my belly, to me its saying I am doing everything in my power for this to work and if its not meant then its not. I know deep inside this will work but still preparing my self. Hang in there it does get a little better. We are so excited and so happy to give our DD a sibling 
ETA: My betas never doubled in the beginning so that also made me very worried.

Hey, so today I'm officially 8 weeks and 4 days, and I had my first ob appointment. I feel like I've had so many ups and downs already it's been crazy. First finding out we were pregnant was amazing, then my betas came back all messed up from 167 to only 214 48 hrs later then jumped to 618 after 3 days and had to wait a full 2 weeks to have an ultrasound the first week I did pretty good not thinking about it but as it got closer I got more anxious, the night before I could barely sleep. So my first ultrasound was at 7 weeks 1day, so I saw heartbeat right away but baby was measuring small, but the dr said don't worry could just be baby on an angle so its measuring off. Then went in for bloodwork and my progesterone lowered from 22-14, so I was put on PIO again, and was told again not to worry. Now today had ultrasound with ob office and baby is measuring 9 days small! Again I was told not to worry, but I worry. Now have to wait 4 weeks for my next ultrasound. This whole process is torture but I'm trying to pray and have positive thoughts.
