wish I could shake this anxiety.

I'm sorry if I'm being a PW about this but I don't really have anyone else to unload this on - even Brian doesn't really seem to get it.

I feel like I'm sitting here waiting to miscarry. In my head, I'm trying to be more optimistic than that, but I can't stop the anxiety. It sucks.

It doesn't help that since we got our BFP, we've seen family every weekend - we're not telling anyone that we're pregnant or that we're going through this issue, so we've had to put on a poker face the last three weekends.

I'm not trying to throw a pity party - you really don't even need to respond - I just need to get it out and process how I'm feeling before I effing go insane.

    I felt the same way during my pregnant with DD and I fear it'll be worse with baby #2. It seemed like I was seeing a ton of women with miscarriages at work, which didn't help the situation.

    I wish I had advice but I don't. I think trying to stay busy helped take my mind away from it some, but obviously there's only so much you can be doing at once.

    T&P's that everything turns out ok!

    BTW...when are they call you with the results from your repeat beta? Monday I'm assuming?

    They're actually supposed to call me tonight - the on-call doc (coincidentally the one who delivered Ella) has been instructed to call me once the results are in. I go for the draw at 3pm.

    I also have a Monday draw to test my progesterone, and I should have those results back same day. So I'll know a TON more by Monday (or today if it's for sure bad news), but that seems like forever away.

    After reading Marie's post about Ryan possibly having fragile X I feel dumb complaining about a 2-day wait. (Sorry Marie!)

    That is what this board is for! If you are keeping it all quiet with friends and family it seems important for you to have a place to talk about it that is "safe". You have done everything right in terms of making the call and getting the meds you need to help things the best you can. You should also know that sharing this here could be helping others who may be lurking with the same issue and/or feelings. I am not going through the same thing but I can tell you that you sharing your experiences has completely impacted the actions I'd take if I find myself in your position in another few weeks. I never knew about the suppositories or the progesterone level issues. I'd honestly have been too scared to call.  So as a newb I really have to thank you for talking about it on here. The same goes for the other ladies who have given their input.

    Up until last week when I started feeling him move, every single time I went to the bathroom I was expecting to see spotting. Every single time for 20 weeks.

    Its understandable to be anxious when you are waiting for answers, and knowing there is nothing you can do to change whatever the outcome might be. And you have the added anxiety of your families baby loss recently too so its even more understandable that your anxious.

    I've been thinking about you, I hope everything turns out ok. ::hugs::

    Ditto this exactly.  Lauren, thanks for being transparent with us and letting us walk the road with you.  I so appreciate you all for that!  ((HUGS))

    Lauren, I know all too well about the anxiety. On top of normal pgal anxiety I had the two episodes of spotting. I sat on the couch crying to chris after the spotting saying how I was a horrible wife because I was so sure *I* was losing another baby. He told me something that I had been saying all along, but couldn't think of it at that moment...today I am pregnant and I love this baby. Besides taking care of myself all I could was love this baby. That honestly helped to bring down some of my anxiety. I'm here if you ever need to talk
