Yes, the worry is normal. I'm 9w1d and I'm still paranoid and worried every day, mainly because I still don't feel PG (hardly any symptoms). It sucks that IF does this to us. I just keep trying to remind myself that I shouldn't worry unless I have a reason to.

TTC 12/2009 Me: 32 - Stage II Endo / DH: 36 - Low count and morphology (1%) IUIs 1-3 BFN, lap Dec. 2010, IUIs 4-6 BFN IVF w/ICSI #1 - ER 2/8: 24R 19M 9F ET 2/13 2-5 day blasts (no frosties) = BFP - b/g twins! E & C Born 10/19/2012
I am 4w6d and I still find myself taking pregnancy tests to make sure I'm still pregnant and to see if the line is darker. (I think I'm crazy) I go in Monday for my 1st u/s and the time is going so slow.
Me: 36 DH: 33 DD:2
PCOS diagnosis February, 2011
Clomid - 50 mg + Met June & July 2011 - BFN
Clomid - 100 mg + Met September 2011 - BFN
Clomid - 150 mg + Met Oct & Nov 2011 - +OPK - BFN
HSG - clear S/A - normal
IUI #1 - Clomid 150 mg/Ovidrel/Met - February, 2012 - BFN
IUI #2 - Clomid 150 mg/Ovidrel/Met - March, 2012 - BFP!!! EDD 11/29/12
Yay! So excited to see you over here! Sending lots of doubling vibes your way for beta #2. And yes, the irrational fear and worry is totally normal, and unfortunately it will take a while to go away. It took me a while to even feel excited about this pregnancy b/c I was so guarded. I think it was after our 10 week u/s that I finally thought, okay, it looks like this is actually happening! But every u/s, and hearing the heartbeat, and all the other milestones will make it more and more real and less scary.
So happy for you and great to have you over here!!
Severe endo & fibroids, IVF #1 BFP with twins, Gabriel Mark (5/20/12) & Zachary David (5/24/12)- said goodbye to my two angels at 17 weeks due to pprom.
6/28/10: Lost our sweet baby Addyston at 18wk 1day to pPROM
7/24/11: Michael William born at 24wk 2d due to IC after an emergent cerclage at 18wks, 4wk home BR and 2 weeks hospital BR. Grow strong our little Miracle!
9/17/11: Michael joined his sister in heaven after 8 amazing weeks with us on earth. He fought a very hard fight but NEC was too much for him in the end.
Congrats!! The wait for the u/s was the longest week and a half of my life. I thought it would get better after that but now I can't stop worrying about my next u/s at 8 weeks. I am hoping it will get better after the first tri...
I had to poke my head out of lurker-dom to congratulate you and wish you the very best of luck! I'm so thrilled that you had such a strong beta!
As far as the irrational fear and worry... I've had both of those since I got my BFP, all the way through my blood tests, and until my second ultrasound. The 4 1/2 weeks between positive HPT and 8 week u/s were the slowest of my life (and I thought the initial 2ww was bad!). Even now, I am consistently plagued with a mild feeling of unease (and obsessive TP-checking). I keep hoping it will get better... and I hope you continue to get positive news that will put your mind at ease!
H&H 9 months to you! I wish you the best of everything as you wait for your early Christmas gift!

Re: :::tiptoes in to The Other Side:::
YAY!!! I'm so happy to see you over here!
Betas are the worst for making you irrationally worried, but I don't think it ever goes completely away.
Me = lean PCOS;DH = poor morphology (3%)
3 IUI/TI cycles = BFN
IVF #1 with ICSI: antagonist protocol = BFFN
IVF #2 with ICSI : Lupron downregulation = BFFN...FML
IVF #3 with ICSI and AH (Antagonist) = IT'S A BOY!!!!
