Hey, Holding in there. Hcg was 78 last Monday so dropping nicely and avoided a D&C. I went for a blood test again yesterday and will do a phone appt tomorrow to see where I’m at. I’ve told a few irl friends about everything going on and sharing the full story has been really good for my mental health and processing everything. Thanks for thinking of me ❤️

My HCG is 305 and progesterone is 19.6! And I’m only 3 weeks 4 days! I’m guessing I ovulated early and may be further along.

I’m so fucking anxious. On my own, I’m fine. However, my close family and my best friend know and I don’t think they realize how awful and hurtful their behavior is. We’ve told them early with every pregnancy for support. At this point though, they just suck at being kind. Yesterday we were together (MH has a family run business so we’re together all the time) and they were all asking about my meds, if the pregnancy is viable this time, etc not a single fucking congratulations or anything positive. And my best friend is just “well have you had your repeat labs?” “How are you sure you’re pregnant without an ultrasound?” “At home tests aren’t a guarantee” even though I’ve explained all the fucking science and that yes, at home tests are exactly what doctors use. And shit like that. She’s pregnant with her first and it was an oops so she went at 8-9 weeks so obviously they did a scan then.
But basically everyone is just like be “optimistically hopeful/excited” and ffs I just want to be excited. I don’t want my loss history all people think about. Why is it wrong of me to just say hey I’m pregnant right now and I’m speaking into being that in august I will have a new baby. I fucking hate it.

I’m sorry onyx. It’s really hard for someone who hasn’t had to deal with pregnancy difficulties to understand. They are just totally ignorant. I have all fingers crossed for you and hope this is the one.

onyx I'm so sorry that people are hindering your joy. It is something to be excited about and you are justified in being upset. Today you are pregnant and that is amazing and something to celebrate.

Thank you all so much. This morning is rough too. I think I’m going to have to contact my doctor about anxiety. I keep reciting the mantra, but I also keep having moments of crippling anxiety that I’m not sure how to handle.

onyx I’m sorry (and sorry I keep lurking here!). Is your doctor going to get you in early for a scan? Having that date in my head paired with taking one of the Walmart 88 cent tests each day helped my anxiety a lot. I know that’s easier said, but I am so very much pulling for you and keeping you in my thoughts ❤️❤️

Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck them onyx. You deserve to feel however way you do at any given time and they're being complete assholes by not holding you. You'd think they'd know better than to add to your anxiety. 😒 I had massive anxiety with my rainbow pg, it's a trip for sure. Taking to your doctor about getting hooked up with a counselor or meds is a great step to take. Whatever will alleviate your mood is the right choice. ❤ (even if it's just ranting at internet friends)

Which will put me around 7-8 weeks. I’ve been testing every day, sometimes twice a day. Trying to let myself feel but not obsess is a thin line.

I think it’s called the bell effect? Mine was at around 7 or 8 weeks, just before my ultrasound. I freaked out because the line became a squinter and I had been testing every day with strong lines. Just a heads up in case it happens to you so you don’t freak out.

Mentally I’ve resolved that after my beta on Tuesday, if all looks good, I’ll stop. For my own sanity.
