The past few days I have had a very hard time thinking of myself as pregnant. It is so sad because I was bound and determined to be joyful this time around. On Tuesday everything was normal and I was so happy. But on Wednesday I woke up and my boobs weren't as sore (still aren't) and then I started getting these uncomfortable cramps and Thursday had some brown spotting. My RE did another beta, which came out fine, and she is bringing me in for an u/s next Thursday. Rationally, I know that none of these things necessarily mean it's going south, but at the first sign of trouble my brain was like, "nope, you aren't pregnant anymore." It makes me sad. I don't want to give up this early especially without a valid reason.

How do you all stay positive?

Mantras:  Today I'm pregnant and I love my baby.  My past does not dictate my future.

I need to remember that mantra. My symptoms have all but vanished. Logically I know they come and go, and I know that they don't dictate a healthy pregnancy. But I can't convince myself of that today.
Just got back from getting second betas done. Won't get results until Monday. Long weekend ahead

That was me last weekend. I was dying to get my beta results, but had to wait until Monday morning. Like tkford216 said, I just stayed busy and did my best to put it out of my mind (so much easier said than done, though). I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

FX for great second betas and a weekend that flies by.

Thanks for the encouragement ladies. I work the overnight tonight and then we are driving to VT for the weekend. So I will stay busy.
FFFC: I'm still taking tests. I also know they don't matter, but it's what tipped me off before my last loss (very light line). I have a handful of wondfos and they will be peed on. Today's was super dark!

Pgal brain has struck. I just woke up from a nap, and am in a panic about telling H's parents this weekend. Last time I was pregnant and we told them, I started spotting just before we came home. Holy anxiety right now.

leahks77 AWESOME! Do you know what week they'll let you schedule the first u/s?

[leahks77]

tkford216 I just called and scheduled it for 7/2! I will only be 6wks 3days so I'm hoping it doesn't leave me in limbo... But today, I am pregnant and I love my baby. Thanks for all the encouragement ladies!
