I had a MC at 5 weeks along before I conceived my daughter, and now that I am pregnant again I find that the MC haunts me and I can't accept the pregnancy as being "real" yet.

I had a lot of the same feelings...I found out before AF was due, too, and just couldn't seem to allow myself to feel any excitement b/c as soon as I did, I felt afraid, too.

I think all of us here can understand your feelings. I thought that once I knew my hcg was doubling I'd feel better, it worked for about an hour. Now I'm hanging things on US #1 on Wednesday...I think the pp was correct. Setting small goals seems to be key. Someone else also told me that whenever you start to feel nervous over a symptom, or lack of symptom, to take a moment and think about the miracle you have growing inside you. That's been a bit of a comfort to me. (((hugs)))

I know just how you feel - I have been relentlessly trying to "not get my hopes up" this time, though everything has been going well so far. I keep pinning things on the next milestone, too. I will be 12 weeks this Wed. and will have my nuchal translucency u/s. I am very nervous, but truly hope that as long as all is well, I'll finally be able to relax a bit more. This board has helped so much, because we're all going through the same emotions.

I hope you get really good HCG results, and that you can start looking forward to milestones soon.

Hugs,
Kitty
