HI all,
I am excited to finally be able to post in this section. I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year ago along with some other health issues. My husband and I decided to actively start trying in February so my doctor put me on Metformin twice a day. I had my FIRST period on my own (without the help of birth control) on April 21st and decided to start temping. Next thing you know, I see a clear jump and realized I had ovulated. Faint positive test 13 dpo on 5/21 and the rest is history. Needless to say, my husband nd I are ecstatic. However, I am so beyond scared of mc. My beta HCG was 36.8 at 15 dpo and it jumped to 433.4 at 19 dpo. We have our first appointment on 6/2 and we are counting down the hours. I am trying hard to reduce my worry but it is very difficult and, for once, I wish I wasn't a nurse. Any advice on how to reduce the worry and stress?
Congrats to all!
Welcome and congrats! Its normal to worry about loss and you will find that most all of us are, especially this early in the game. The best advice I have is to take it one day at a time....today I am pregnant. I tell myself that I know I'm doing every thing "right" and if it happens its complety out of my control.
Welcome and congrats! The ttc crazy train definitely does not end once we are pregnant and it is hard to push those thoughts out... But fx and happy and healthy 9 months to you!

Congrats! And I think you will always worry about one thing or another but try to enjoy the pregnancy instead of focusing on things that could go wrong.
Congrats! I worry like crazy too, and it's so easy to get dragged down with negative thoughts. I find myself repeating the quote in my sig several times a day, along with "today I'm pregnant, and I love my baby". Both seem to help me take it down a notch

Congrats! I worry about the same thing, but we are pregnant today. Try not to borrow trouble, but whatever happens, it is out of your control. @starrynight1658 I really like your quote.
Yes, hate to sound like an echo but all the others are right! Stay POSITIVE! I have to also calm myself down-daily-since I found out last week. My body is doing some funky things (along with the prenatal doing a number on me) but it is all normal. Congrats and welcome!!
