Stress

[snemo]

I had my first and second HCG levels rise from 255 to 577. I was really excited but didn't want to be too excited, just in case of something horrible happening. I have my Progesterone and Estrogen check this Thurs. but I am scared something may go wrong. I was stressed over the weekend and I had to deal with it today. I feel a lot better now but I wish I had not stressed about anything this past weekend.
Are there symptoms that I should watch out for m/cs? Any advice will be much appreciated.

Snemo,
Sorry i have no advise for you but am in the same boat have had 3 HCG test done all with really good numbers but am still very worried about m/c to the point were i can not sleep. Will be watching carefully for replies.

From what I've read, the most common symptoms of m/c are cramping and bleeding. Of course, you will definitly have quite a bit of cramping, so don't panic at every little twinge. From what I've heard, the cramps during a m/c are pretty severe.

I wish I could tell you that the worrying goes away after the first trimester, but if anything it just gets worse. I don't know if it's the whole infertility thing that makes me so panicked (you try so hard for so long it's almost too good to believe) or if it's too much knowledge (damned internet!) Anyway, I wish you both the best of luck. Try to relax and enjoy this whole process as much as you can!
