Still worried

I don't know if I just have an overactive imagination or if I'm experiencing doctor appointment/reassurance withdrawal, but I'm having one of those nervous days today.
We had a great appointment on Friday and things definitely looked good. Today though, I am worried. My breasts aren't so sore today. They were sore and achy overnight, but once getting up this morning I haven't noticed much (and believe me, I've been checking). I thought my symptoms would be increasing here in week 6, but aside from a little breakout, not so much. Am I anxious because I have reason to be or because I'm getting ready to go on a trip and I'm generally concerned about my luck with regard to pregnancy?
Either way, today isn't feeling fun.

  1. Please don't take the worry as a bad sign. Those of us who have struggled with IF are destined to worry for much of our early pregnancies, it doesn't mean one thing or the other. I think you are nervous about your trip, too, just being out of your comfort zone. As for your boobs, you may have hit a progesterone plateau. I bet they'll start hurting again in the next few days. As hard as it is, focus on the great u/s from Friday and try to believe in the positive. Good thoughts coming your way!

  2. Hon, you will worry every day. You are normal. :) I think that once we've had losses there are no days that are simple and easy. It's okay. As someone told me, just accept the feelings, take a deep breath, and let it go. It will come back, but just remind yourself each time.

  3. Ugh, it is so unfair that IF robs us of feeling only sublimely happy in early pregnancy. Most women get to feel that way and take it for granted.

    Hang in there! Lots of healthy baby thoughts to you!

  4. I am so sorry that you are having a bad day. I know it's hard to start worrying! My mind does the same thing...even though I am not pregnant. I hope your week gets better!

  5. I think what you're going thru sounds totally normal. Basically, preg symptoms can vary from woman to woman, and worrying about them comes with the territory. Best of luck to you... I hope you get to feeling better!

    And happy ICLW!

  6. I have never been pregnant, but what you are describing seems normal. I hope you don't worry too much and have a great time.

  7. Try and relax. I know, easier said than done. Symptoms come and go. They are almost never completely consistent.

    Praying you have a perfect pregnancy.

  10. It is unbelievably hard to trust all will be okay after losses. I am so sorry you are having a not good day- after it would reliably work, I rented a Doppler this time and it gave me many more days of thinking everything was okay.

    Big hugs... and hoping you are reassured soon.

  11. I totally can relate to feeling cautious every day - that's totally normally, particularly after such difficult journeys. Congrats on the pregnancy :-)
