Thoughts?

Hi Everyone, After finding out (very early) that I was pregnant on Friday, I was very calm and relaxed. I have been going about life as normal, taking care of my 12 month old son and drinking lots of water. Today, I have been experiencing some anxiety regarding this pregnancy. I had a blood test done on Friday (the day before my missed period) and I got the results today. The hCg was 69 and the doctor said the progesterone level was 'good'. I know on its own the hCg is meaningless, but I guess I was hoping for a higher number. With my son, it was in the 200's on the first read around the same time. Prior to my DS, I had a blighted ovum. Truly heartbreaking. I think I'm scared to possibly go through that again!!! I know it could go either way and I should remain positive, but the unimaginable is weighing on my mind. Anyone experience something similar? I need some encouragement...feeling lousy.

    Don't know if I can offer any encouragement, but I know the feeling. My last pregnancy was a blighted ovum and it took me 5 years to get over that pain. 9 years after that miscarriage I am pregnant again. All the fear and pain from last time has come rushing back like it happened yesterday. I guess all I can say is I know the feeling, I suppose we just have to hang in there and hope for the best

    Can you go get a second blood test to see how the numbers are rising?  Hopefully that would ease your mind.  Worrying is no fun.

    At 4 weeks my hcg was 54. A few days later it was 400. You can't let yourself worry until you get a second draw. After losing my first I just kind of put myself in the mindset that if I'm going to miscarry there is nothing I can do to stop it. Worrying is natural. I'm a worrier. At 8 weeks I'm still concerned even though I've seen the heartbeat. I don't think I will let myself relax until after the 12th week. But I know I can't stop the inevitable. I cut out anything that can possibly cause a miscarriage and I'm just praying I get to take home this baby one day.

    Also remember that this is a new pregnancy. New egg and new sperm. It's a fresh start and so far there is no reason to think that anything bad will happen.

    Your response was very refreshing. I've been feeling the same way but won't have my first appt until the 22nd. By that point ill be 8 weeks.
