How do you survive the time between appointments?

Since I was spotting at 6 weeks and diagnose with a SCH I was seen a bit more often and have had 3 u/s so far.  My last appointment was 12/7 and now my next isn't until 1/4.  I have made it two weeks so far but am having a really hard not worrying.  I really would like to call tomorrow and see if maybe I can get in this week just to make sure everything is still okay BUT at the same time I want to challenge myself not to call and try to make it the four weeks.  With the holidays coming up I am hoping the two weeks goes by quickly.  This worrying is really consuming my mind though.....any advice.

I have no clue....worrying, overthinking things, etc.  I haven't had an u/s yet (until tomorrow FINALLY) and I went in at 5 weeks per my calculation and 6 per LMP and didn't get an u/s bc it was too early.  When I made the appt I said it was too early bc I O'd late and they said come anyway.  Well, as I expected, no u/s.  The wait has been horrible bc I didn't get bw since 12DPO. 

My advice: Keep as busy as possible, but it does suck.  Luckily the holidays are right around the corner.

I'm going nuts. I had a u/s at 5w3d and another at 8. I go in on Wednesday (12w5d) and have been considering counting down the hours for days now. I just have to keep telling myself there is no reason to think this one will end like the sat one and there is nothing I could/should be doing differently. There are a lot of deep breaths involved.

im not sure since i am 28 weeks and still worry between appointments! i was seen once a week there for so long and even now its about every 2-3 weeks because of the different dr's i see (regular OB and perinatologist) but it's still hard to wait sometimes...especially if you are worried. my dr's office is super supportive too and was willing to get me in or at least have me talk to a nurse to have some piece of mind when i was spotting in the first tri. i think once you have a loss its hard not to just sit back and not worry.

The waiting is def hard...I agree with that!  I had an u/s Friday, I thought I was 6 wks, however measured at 5 wks.  Now I have to wait until Jan 3 for the next one.  It's going to seem like an eternity!  But like pp, at least we have the holidays to keep us busy!
