Having another panic moment

sewpinkgal

Even after 3 blood draws and increasing hcg, I'm still lightly spotting and it's still freaking me out. No rhyme or reason to it - will happen for a day and then stop, then a few days in a row, then stop, etc. I guess at this point I won't be surprised if this is just my "normal", but I keep having these moments where I'm almost paralyzed with fear. I hate feeling like this, but it just sneaks up on me. Anyone else having these moments of panic?

Me!  I spotted a tiny little bit on Monday and have started again today.  Very small amount, very light pink.  I am scared to death and going to the bathroom every 10 minutes to check.  It seems to have stopped for now. I just have this awful feeling of dread in my chest every time I head to the bathroom.

Right? I also analyze the toilet paper waaaay more than I probably should. It's getting ridiculous and yet, I can't seem to help it.

It is incredibly hard not to. We have a lot to lose.

I am sorry you're feeling like this. I don't have any advice other than trying to focus on what is best for the baby-which is you being calm and happy.

I check the TP EVERY TIME I go.  And sometimes, I feel a "gush" so I freak and run to the bathroom only to find out that there's nothing, or that it was my progesterone suppository making it's way out.  (TMI)

On other days I'll touch my boob and thing "OMG, it doesn't hurt like it did yesterday."  And freak out. 

It's a high anxiety time.

Sticky baby dust all around.

This.  It's nice to see I'm not the only one like this....       I thought baby brain was just a little forgetfulness, not boob grabbing, toilet paper inspecting craziness!

I definitely am too! Ever since I had spotting last week, I am afraid it is going to come back. And afraid that it is going to be ectopic (especially since I only have one tube to begin with). On top of that, I am afraid that I am doing something that is going to hurt the baby. Or that we won't get into a day care center that we like. It is just all a lot of anxiety - I definitely need to chill.
