Paranoia anyone?

nlbaker · February 2016

I had horrible morning sickness week three, just as i was finding out i am pregnant. However, the last week has been symptom-free and i am so nervous!! Hubs and i did IVF, and hcg beta results day 15=400, 18=1285, and 21=3500... so my doctor says everything looks good. I'm just wondering if anyone else is worried about their lack of symptoms?!?

Thanks!

Symptoms come and go, so don't make that the basis of worry. Chances are the morning sickness you were feeling last week was actually a stomach bug or something. That's actually super early for morning sickness.

My paranoia shows up in the crazy ritual where I have to check for blood every time I go to the bathroom. I know that's a pretty common one.

I totally know it's ridiculous.. but yeah. I'm a mess over here too. While the numbers were decent (I think) the doc was less than excited about them but they were good enough to get me a "come back in 2 weeks and we'll blood draw again, then if it's good.. we'll get you an ultrasound." ( 139 / 263 / 469 ) Bad enough being in beta-hell without symptom nerves. I had 0 symptoms last time except sore breasts. I just really want a completely different set of symptoms this time to prove to me it's different.

Symptoms come & go. It's not really an indicator either way.

It's a tough place to be! I find around the 7 week mark my paranoia really kicks I to gear. Symptoms really do come and go. My last pregnancy I had absolutely no symptoms until 11 weeks and all turned out fine.

I'm only 4w4d, but I was super bloated for the first 3 days I knew. Now nothing. I should just enjoy being symptom free, but symptoms are reassuring!

5w1d. Check for spotting each time I pee. Hardly feel anything down there. Boobs huge and sore only thing keeping me positive that I'm preg.

I can definitely relate. Although I logically know that symptoms will be different everyday, when I have a day where I feel "normal" it makes me feel a little nervous! But I just try to appreciate it, knowing it won't last. I also still check whenever I go to the bathroom, it's officially a habit now. Just for fun this morning, I took another test this morning at 24 DPO. It was nice to see how dark it was, even though I know it's pretty meaningless at this point!

This is my second pregnancy and, just like last time, so far zero symptoms. It's hard but try not to worry. I'm sure as the months come along, we'll all get plenty of symptoms!

The minute I realize all of my symptoms are gone, it's actually a bit of a relief for me. I've been so dizzy and nauseous since a couple days after my bfp. The times in between are glorious. The thing I don't have, and I definitely thought I would, are mood swings. I have pmdd, and generally don't handle hormones well, so this lack of anger/crying is definitely a welcome surprise.

I am so paranoid, am definitely going to the loo just to check for any bleeding

I definitely need to chill out a bit!

AshleyGemini24 · February 2016

I've been having alot of paranoia. But a close friend of mine who is going through IVF told me about about a group she is in called PUPO. Pregnant until proven otherwise. She told me to take on that mindset and it will definitely change your outlook. It works for me when I'm feeling paranoid about a loss.

mdfnkjj · February 2016

Oh my goodness! I thought only I did that! (Checking for any type of spotting whenever going to the bathroom) I don't feel crazy anymore lol!

itsmyangel · February 2016

Yup I keep testing...tested mid day and got a 2-3 weeks and I knew I should have waited until morning. The inside ( yes I took it apart) looks dark I should think it would say 3+ weeks....but now I'm out of those tests

JamieK1882 · February 2016

@itsmyangel I just picked up one of those weeks estimator tests yesterday! I'm trying to hold out using it until the end of this week. So far though I think I've taken like 4 or 5 pregnancy tests already though.

SteffanieM85 · February 2016

Yes, 5 weeks today just found out over the weekend. Was a shock because I really thought I wasn't pregnant and AF was coming. Wrongo.

I'm still in sort of denial/this can't be real because we've been ttc for 2 years (PCOS diagnosed 10 years ago) and I really started to think we may never have children and I would never see a BFP.

I am super nervous about a miscarriage/stillborn/other complications. We want this baby so badly and it would be nice if for once something would go right and smoothly in our life. But of course worrying only adds to the stress so I'm trying to stay positive and healthy... but man oh man is it hard to get out of your own head. Eeesh.
