Pregnant after IF
I am really not trying to be a nervous drama queen
But since Wednesday night (spent in the ER and Dx with SCH), I am petrified of bleeding again. I am also worried about every slight cramp or twinge I feel. I am afraid to leave bed, and was so happy the boss told me to go home and stay in bed. I am hoping I feel better after this 5 day weekend. Ugh, does this worry ever go away?

It won't go away but it will get better.
I had a very rocky start and was a nervous wreck until I reach viability - I tried to hide it but didn't do a very good job!
Just lay low and do what you are comfortable with. When is your next scan?
I'll be thinking of you! Your RE sounds very accommodating so if you anxiety gets to be too much, call and let them know. I'm sure they would bring you in just to ease your nerves.
I hate the word threatened miscarriage. It is thrown around too much in hospital settings. Anytime you have an u/s that is not scheduled they will use that term.
I had a SCH and it is scary, eventually once the bleeding stops and you no longer can see the SCH you will worry about something else. You are a momma now and it is a part of being a parent.
I hope your scan on the 4th will allow you to enjoy the day worry free! (((hugs)))
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

I'm sorry
The beginning is so scary and then add complications and it really can be frightening. It will get better in time, but for now, since you are home... feet up and rest up. Get to DH to pamper you... you deserve it!
Big hugs.
I dont think the worry ever goes completely away but it does lessen with time. I also have a SCH and had quite a bit of bleeding. I know how scary it is.
I had a similar experience that you did. I started bleeding red blood on Sunday afternoon and it did go away but i went to RMA (that's my RE's office) on Monday morning. My u/s was great. The baby was measuring a day ahead and the heartbeat was 156 ,BUT the doctor who did my u/s said there is blood and it could be implantation bleeding or a threatened miscarriage...WHAT?!?!?! When my nurse called later she told me all of my numbers were great and she said the doctor said that the bleeding was a small hematomoa or something and that it wasn't threatening or interfering with the baby and that i had nothing to worry about and then they discharged me... Its been a rough week...i don't go to my OBGYN until the 4th and even then i don't think i will have an u/s to see if the blood is gone or getting smaller... its so frustrating and scary. On top of it i am taking vaginal suppositories and they leak out all day. so every time i go to the bathroom i am looking and staring and let a huge deep breath out when its ok.
Your not a drama queen---its stressful and nerve-wrecking. I hope it all passes and it gets easier from here. You and your little love bugs will be in my thoughts and prayers. Take it easy---keep your feet up, don't stress or doing anything strenuous.
I had this almost exactly - my SCH was early, but baby b was slower - always measuring a few days behind, was second to get a heartbeat, so I was always worried, especially for that one. And the first tri was the worst. It helped me to know I was doing everything I could to make things go well - resting and taking it easy, drinking a lot of water, etc. Good luck!
