Hello--
First let me say congrats to all of you!  I'm new to the website and this board and hope I get to stick around for a while.  My DH and I have been TTC for 4 years now and we just completed our 4th IVF cycle.  The first 2 resulted in miscarriages (one at 5 weeks the other at 9) and the 3rd was a complete failure.  Now after the 4th we had a BFP on 12/30 with Beta of 312.  My second Beta was 1172 on 1/2.  First u/s scheduled for 1/13 and I'm a bit nervous.  Any thoughts on how I can keep my mind off of this waiting and stop being nervous?

    Welcome! It's hard not to be nervous, I know. Those are strong betas, though -- I'm sure the odds are in your favor.

    Hello and congrats! I second PP above who said to stay off google- my first u/s is 1/17 and I've luckily found a very absorbing novel (not pregnancy related) so hopefully that will fill my idle hours.

    Thanks all.  I will do my best (and it is really hard) to say off google.

    Welcome and congratulations!  I tried to stay busy to keep the anxiety level low.  It was a little more reassuring after our first u/s, but until then just stay positive and keep busy.

    Congrats on your BFP, and welcome to PAIF!  Honestly, nothing will keep your mind off of things, so just try to focus on the happiness of being pregnant, and relishing it, and not worrying about the what-ifs. Easier said than done, though, I know!  Each week and with each appointment, it will hopefully get a little easier to relax and enjoy.

    Me: 42. DH: 46.

    1st Pregnancy: MC, 11/19/00.

    2nd Pregnancy: DS born 04/10/06.

    5th Pregnancy: Ectopic, 2 doses of Methotrexate unsuccessful, surgery 4/10/12, right tube removed.

    Tried Letrozole January 2013-July 2013 (including 2 IUIs), all BFN.  After 2 1/2 years of trying for child #2, decided to "give up" after July cycle, based on AMA.

    August 16, 2013:  BFP our first month of "not trying!"  Still in shock.  Beta #1 (14dpo): 183.  Beta #2 (17dpo):  611.  Ultrasound 8/30/13: baby measured 6 weeks, 1 day, heart rate of 118 bpm! 
    Ultrasound 9/13/13:  8 weeks, heart rate of 176!
    Baby is due 4/26/14
