HOW DO YOU STOP WORRYING

I think I am gonna go crazy. I can't stop worrying over things. I mean we came so far to get where we are. And worried this whole way but then there is just a new set of worries once you find out you are in fact pregnant.
AHHHHHHHHH
How do you all cope with it??
Much Love

Hi Joy

I dont think we will stop worrying. I might relax a little after 12 weeks, but there will be other things to worry about then. You think with IVF the main thing is to get a positive result-but then of course you start worrying if everything will be ok at each scan, worrying when you dont have symptoms one day. These IVF babies are so precious. I know other mums who get pregnant naturally also have fears but for us its so hard to get to this point you are almost waiting for it to be taken away from you.
At least with this website we have got each other to talk to and worry with.
You are certainly not alone with this!
Take care
Love Kim.

hear hear girls

I have been so worried it will go away since I got the +ve, as you say, scared on a day with no symptoms..I have booked another beta HCG for Thursday (1 week on from my test date) to check progress as I just can't wait til the scan. IM Barcelona are being very supportive I have emailed them a lot this week, so I am lucky to have that, but dh has been working hard this week so I have been alone a lot. They sent a very reassuring email today, and basically told me to stop worrying as they didn't think I was a "risk" candidate, and that I am quite young for their client group

so I feel better now.

Thank the good Lord that we have each other sweeties, IM say it's totally normal to be so worried at this stage, especially if it's a first pg with IVF. Hopefully after the first scan we'll start to believe it and be just "normally worried" like other mums to be

went swimming with dh this evening, that helped. I think we have to make a real effort for "us time" as we are in this together and I need him more than ever. Let the worries out, that's what the board is for xxxxxxx

Love to you both

((( KIM ))) ((( BIG J ))))
Hugs to you both. I am so thankful for this board. And to have others who know how it feels. I don't want to worry too much and cause stress on the baby (babies)
There are some days when I feel fine and have no symptoms then there are days like today where I have cramping and that worries me. However I do know that EVERYONE has said the cramping is normal because our uterus is stretching and so is the cervix.
Thank you ladies for answering it makes me feel better.
Much Love
Joy

Hiya ladies,

Just wanted to wish you much luck. The worrying never stops - it just changes over time!!! Soon you'll be 'worrying' about your expanding waists, have you got everything you need, THE day... LOL.

Joy, please try not to worry about cramping. If it's any consolation I has it very bad - and bleeding - which went on and off for weeks and weeks. Implantation, stretching, moving...it could be many things. Just think of all the changes your body is going through as well as what it's been through.

Rest easy girls!

This forum has helped me a lot because I am right there with you on all the same feelings. Cannot wait until the ultrasound to gain a bit more confidence.

Congrats on your +ive's. Just to let you know that you will worry. Us ivf Mums to be are apparently 20 times more anxious than other mums to be. I was so anxious at the beginning .. it eases off a bit but I still do get worried about things ... at every stage there is a new set of worries. But soon, your baby bumps will be growing, and then you will feel your precious little baby moving and your worries will go away for longer parts of the day.
All th best and HOORAY - you are PG!!!!

I am afraid worrying is part of the deal.

and once we have our babies we will be worrying again (does it sleep enough, does it drink enough, is it growing enough, will it have friends, will it develop itself).

part of the deal I am afraid.
