Updated .. Terrified of appointment! (Vent)

stephanie123456 · January 2014

I have my first OB appt on Thursday and I'm hoping that they will do an u/s because I'm kind of hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I had some cramping around week 4-5, sore boobs then as well that have somewhat subsided to just a little tender nipples, no morning sickness (except for very infrequently bile rise in throat), maybe some slight fatigue, I did break out last week but even that seems a bit better this week. I know I need to leave Dr. Google alone and stop focusing on the worst by reading others posts about MMC and whatnot, but I sort of feel like I'm going to be saying goodbyes this Thursday. I've also been still using internet cheapies to watch the line get darker but it really hasn't but I know those aren't reliable, as it could be that they were SUPER cheap and therefore dye could be inconsistent and causing the bad lines.

Sorry to rant on, I've just been worried for the past two weeks and I really hope I'm wrong, but trying to prepare myself and DH to be back to square one.

Hang in there! I think the lines getting darker is a very good sign. Is there a reason you are particularly concerned??

Two days will pass by quickly! Good luck to you though and try and keep the positive thinking going!

Mine's this afternoon and I completely understand the anxiousness!

@lindsayhilleary No losses. Just my first pregnancy and when I found out it caught me off guard because I wasn't expecting it so quickly (stopped BCP in October 13).

@reverey Thank you!

@JSS1002 Lines aren't getting darker. But I'm trying to attribute that to crappy internet cheapies (seriously paid $4 for 20). Also lack of symptoms with my dwindling symptoms makes me nervous.

Sounds like you have a fair amount of symptoms, and you pregnancy sounds normal (cramping is very normal). I actually had the least amount of symptoms with my daughter's pregnancy, and she is totally fine and healthy. Fears are normal, just don't let the fears consume you!

Hugs. There's probably nothing I can say to make you stop worrying until your appointment. But about the pregnancy test: are you talking about Wondfos? I bought a giant pack a while ago and took them every day until they got dark, just because they were there. Then a couple weeks later I decided to take one because I was bored, then FREAKED OUT because it wasn't as dark as te last ones I ha taken. Turns out they get lighter once your hcg hits a certain level. I tested the theory (since I had only read about it online) right after my appointment --where I saw a perfect little heartbeat ticking away -- and sure enough it was still lighter than before. Hope tht helps

@AccioPizza First off, LOVE the name! Secondly, your reply is making me tear up because that gives me hope that it's all in my crazy head and that baby is okay. Emotions definitely running high over here. I was trying to not get too attached or plan too much because if things ended, I don't want to be reminded of my loss. But I'm trying to be positive at least part of my day and this really helped. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

put down the sticks and step away from the internet!! There is nothing about your symptoms to give you any real cause for concern. Relax and distract yourself (and maybe stay off of here for a few days)

Thanks everyone! Went to the doctors today and was so very nervous and even said to the nurse and doctor that I wasn't getting ahead of myself and I had prepared for all scenarios.. Well she started the ultrasound and there was baby with its heart a beating perfectly. They had been dating me with LMP and I had been using O date, which put me able a week behind but based on measurements, she is going to use the earlier date, which means I'm farther than I thought
