I know that it is common to feel anxious after struggling with infertility and then getting a BFP. I tried searching this board as I am sure it has been discussed but I am wondering if you are experiencing anxiety, in what way are you trying to cope with this feeling? Every time I go to the bathroom I am afraid there will be blood (and I am using progesterone vaginal suppositories so it feels a little squishy up there anyway). I've been meditating and doing some yoga (although I am so afraid of doing too much yoga and it might cause a MC). I know these are very normal fears and I am trying positive affirmations as well. Just wanting to voice this feeling in hopes of some support and additional coping mechanisms.

Re: Can't shake the anxiety
On a side note Make sure with the progesterone suppositories you clean out the meds every so often. (I know kinda gross). I didn't know to do that and we had a scare when it all came out on its own. We ended up switching to the shots because of the irritation factor.
Infertility is such a hard road and right now it's more challenging then ever. You can do it and your little bean is in for the ride with you! Good Luck and congrats again!

Cycle #14: IVF#2 lupron/follistim/menopur ER 1-22, 19 eggs, 14 fertilized, 5dt on 1-27, BFP!! beta 1: 63, beta 2: 119; EDD 10-15-13; 1 frozen embie
I can hardly wait. I think I will feel a little better once I gave the ultrasound and know everything is ok (hoping for the best). I haven't spoken to anyone at my RE's office in 2 wks and it's difficult after having been monitored so closely several times a wk while going through IVF...
I hope that all that tension and anxiety will ease up as I progress with this pregnancy.
