Been having most of my nausea and sickness in the late afternoon and evenings and trying to nap most days as well. sore boobs, heartburn etc- so at least something is still happening in there?
Whats up with everyone else?

I too feel like I will always have something to worry about. TW*My latest worry is that my baby will stop growing and I won’t see the hb this time, or I’ll measure way behind or something or that they’ll tell me to come back because it doesn’t look good. End TW*
To be honest I’m really just anxious to get out of the first tri so it isn’t a secret anymore. Time is dragging!!!

My first OB appointment since being released from my RE isn't for another 12 days and I'm very scared I'm going to go in and find out that I've had a MMC in the meantime (no reason to think that, other than my anxiety getting the best of me).
Right now I'm hanging onto my symptoms and hoping for the best. I've already made it a week since the last time I saw the baby, so I just keep telling myself I'm a third of the way to seeing him/her again and knowing that everything is okay.
I've got one more week of my progesterone and estrogen meds and then I'm off cold turkey, which is a little scary in itself, but I've been through this before and everything was fine then, so I'm trying to think positive. I'm just afraid that I'm going to get withdrawal spotting, which will scare me.

We had our second scan with the RE this past Thursday and I was petrified I wouldn't see that heartbeat again. Appointment was really great though, little one showed appropriate growth and the heartbeat increased from 120 to 134 bpm, which was such a relief. My husband even managed to get a recording of it on his phone so I can look at it any time I want
I've got my next scan at my RE's office on Thursday at 8w2d and hope to be discharged! I have also scheduled an appointment with my OBGYN on 4/23 because they said they wanted to see me around 9 weeks regardless of whether or not I'd been discharged from my RE. Joining you, @linz36 and @eabrahamson!

Is anyone else having issues getting POI? I was on a 200mg capsule and 1.5ml injections. The drug is back ordered in my area until May. My RE adjusted my protocol, but this makes me uneasy. So glad my tush is getting a break, but I don't like the change.
