Well, I have made it to 11 weeks. Maybe. I just can't let myself believe it.
My first pregnancy at 11 weeks I started bleeding. An u/s revealed blighed ovum. I was just so mad at myself for not cluing in that there was something wrong and angry at my body for not trying to get rid of it sooner. A week later I naturally m/c, very painfully I might add.
My second, I was much more cautious and had my gaurd up. So when by 8 weeks I had virtually no symptoms I was sent for an u/s to reveal the baby was only 5.5 weeks. This time I opted for a D&C as I had a vacation planned and I did not want to wait for my body (who knows how long it would have held on, given the last time).
Now, here I am patiently awaiting my 12 week neuchal-trans u/s next week and Dr. appointment. This week is really testing my patience. I just want to know if there is a baby alive in there. I was lucky to have an u/s at week 7 which revealed a 153 heartbeat, but that only settled me down for a week or two. Now, I just over analyze every little thing. Yes, I get sick most mornings when brushing, but why aren't I tired? Sure, my boobs hurt a bit and are a bit bigger, but why aren't they super sore and why don't I need a new bra? Some foods don't really appeal, but where are my cravings? I am getting so tired of this. Thanks for the vent.

Oh Julia,
I am in the same exact boat, slightly trailing behind at 9.5 weeks. I m/c'd twice pretty late at 14.5 weeks and still think that maybe if I had beta tests done or at least if they measured the h/b, or if they ever sent me for a nuchal scan, maybe I would have known sooner. So now I sit here wondering and overanalyzing.
Its so hard when you've gone through it, especially more than once. I have my nuchal scan scheduled for the week after next and I'm so scared. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope that all is well.

Julia,
The first trimester just drags on. Since you saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks you know that this little guy has hung in there longer than the others and just seeing the heartbeat reduces your chance of m/c significantly. I am 14 weeks and still do not need a new bra yet so I wouldn't worry about that. I have had no food cravings or foods that I don't appeal so again I wouldn't worry. Everyone is different! Just enjoy the pregnancy and stay VERY busy until next weeks appt.
Good Luck!!!

Hey Julia,
I am feeling the same. I haven't had such sad loses as you (one lost at 5 weeks) but I am just scared as hell, and I can't wait for this week to be over. I am in my 11th week today.
