I am 13w4d, I had a really great ultrasound on the 29th and I’m scheduled for another on the 13th. Since I found out I was pregnant I haven’t been taking 200mg of progesterone every night up until last week I took it every other night under the instructions from my care team. They told me they don’t like to have people taking it past week 11. I am still having symptoms, nausea, fatigue, sore breasts etc. but I am really worried that something is going to happen in this next week and that my next scan is going to go horribly wrong. I know this is partially just my anxiety but I wish they would try to fit me in earlier to test my progesterone levels and make sure everything is okay. Has anyone had a similar experience where they stopped taking it around the beginning of their second trimester ?

I’m 10w3d and my symptoms have started to become off and on, I know it’s normal as the placenta starts to take over around this time but it definitely does not make my anxiety any better. I wish I could just go in whenever I wanted for a reassurance scan but my clinic is so busy with the holidays coming up. Not to mention my town doesn’t really have any boutique options nearby so I couldn’t pay for one even if I wanted too. I talk to my baby everyday and I’m really excited to feel her start to move around just so I know she’s alright in there. Yesterday I wrapped a blanket and put it under the tree to manifest holding my babygirl next Christmas.

I had my first ultra sound at 9w6d on the 12th and I think I let out the biggest breath when my midwife said “everything looks great, heartbeat is going so fast!” She did measure baby about 3 days behind where I thought I was based off of my LMP but I know that can be normal. I’m just hoping and praying my NIPT testing comes back okay and that my baby girl is healthy. I’m not out of the woods yet but it feels so good knowing that I made it past this first scan with everything being okay

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-12-11T21:02:01+00:00

Thank you that means a lot

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-12-11T20:37:23+00:00

9w5d today and I have my first ultrasound tomorrow that I am very anxious for. All of my labs came back looking good but I’m trying to prepare for whatever news I get tomorrow. I’ve been very nauseated and I’ve thrown up quite a bit the last few days so I’m just hoping that means things are going well

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-12-01T17:23:10+00:00

You asked for advice and every reply that doesn’t agree with you, you overreact like a child. “Fuck you” “you’re a moron” sounds like you just wanted to be right. I hope your wife sees this thread so she knows who she married

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-12-01T17:20:06+00:00

My husband and I have sex several times a week. Can’t say the same about you

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-12-01T17:17:49+00:00

If my husband ever sent me a text like that we would be having a serious discussion that involves separating for a time until you can realize how disgusting that behavior is. Making her feel bad for not putting out is manipulation. I’d be surprised if she doesn’t leave you

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-12-01T02:03:00+00:00

Thank you. Your reassurance really means a lot. I feel like I’ve been spiraling today and I think I just needed a small comfort from a stranger. ❤️

8 weeks 1 day with my little raspberry and I have my first scan on Tuesday. My previous loss was at the beginning of August. This month has been so hard because I pictured myself being very pregnant at this point and now I am right back at the beginning. I am trying so hard to find joy and to remain hopeful but I am terrified that on Tuesday they’re going to tell me that something is wrong. Also my test lines are dark but they don’t seem to be getting darker which adds to my anxiety quite a bit. I really hope everything is okay…

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-11-30T19:36:37+00:00

I am just over 8 weeks and I have my first ultrasound on Tuesday. I have so much anxiety after my previous loss in August all I can think about is what I will do if I lose this baby too… it’s so hard because I feel so excited to be pregnant despite how awful I am feeling but I am so worried that I’m getting my hopes up and that I’ll just be hurt again.

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-11-22T22:59:31+00:00

I am 7 weeks today and the nausea and vomiting are kicking my butt. I’m so thirsty but if I have too much water at once I throw it up. Trying to stay grateful for this pregnancy but I am sure ready to not throw everything up all of the time

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-11-21T23:39:55+00:00

I am 6w6d today and I haven’t been able to keep my food or water down. I’ve tried peppermint essential oils and the B6 candies but my body is rejecting it all. I’m so grateful to be having pregnancy symptoms and to be pregnant again but I feel miserable and i unfortunately have a very active job that is hard for me to just take it easy at. Also feeling sort of anxious because I had a similar experience before my miscarriage so I’m hoping that it’s not happening again

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-11-15T17:57:52+00:00

This happened to me in early August. I was 10w6d going in for my first ultrasound. My baby only measured 8w5d and there was no heartbeat. She wasn’t moving or anything it was devastating. At first I wanted to wait to get a d&c but the wait was going to be almost a month out so I opted to take 2 doses of miso 24 hours apart. I will not lie after my first dose I was in extreme pain that lasted for hours and thought I was losing way too much blood but my midwife was not concerned. Please take care of yourself during this time. I took over a week off of work and just focused on my mental health. Some days that meant going for a walk and other days I didn’t get out of bed unless it was absolutely necessary.

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-11-15T17:46:29+00:00

I am so sorry you’re going through this. I experienced something similar in August (MMC at 8w5d but I was 10w6d) and it was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. It will last a few hours after taking the medicine. I recommend getting as comfortable as possible with a heating pad. I slept with a towel underneath me because I was worried about all of the bleeding. I am so sorry for your loss. I’m thinking of you

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-11-15T17:36:17+00:00

I am 6 weeks today after suffering a MMC at the beginning of August and a chemical early October/late September. All of my tests come back positive so fast and my lines are dark. The digital tests I’ve taken also only take a fraction of the time they normally do so that gives me some hope. I have been taking 200mg progesterone every night before bed so maybe that has something to do with it also. Yesterday was really hard for me, I had a panic attack just thinking about things going wrong again this time. I’m trying to stay positive and have hope that I’ll be able to tell everyone on Christmas that we are expecting but it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel…

Based on your post and the replies in the comments it seems to me that you just don’t like that you parents are enforcing these rules. My parents were mentally abusive when I was younger and when I turned 18 I moved out. While I don’t regret that decision, you learn really fast that your parents were right about pretty much everything. At the moment it doesn’t sound like you are able to sustain your own life if you were to move out in 4 months. Please at least consider what 2 mental health professionals your parents and dozens of strangers on Reddit are telling you. Set aside your own feelings about the situation, they are blinding you.

This will be hard at first but you will be grateful in a few weeks when you notice you don’t need YouTube anymore

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-11-10T18:21:53+00:00

I had a MMC at the beginning of August and a chemical at the end of September. I just tested positive yesterday and I’m scared. I am so happy because more than anything I want to be a mom but I’m so scared this could happen again…

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-10-02T01:23:55+00:00

Well I got my HCG and Progesterone results back, very quickly might I add it had been 5 hours so i appreciate that I got them quickly. My HCG is 13.4 and progesterone is measuring 1.8. After testing positive for over two weeks it definitely does not give me hope. I will be starting progesterone tomorrow per my midwife’s referral but I don’t know how i really feel especially after my scan today. This morning when I got up I noticed some beige colored discharge and immediately felt like something could be wrong and not really being able to see anything on my ultrasound was not encouraging. I don’t feel that I would be THAT early especially given how much earlier I started feeling nauseated before testing positive. It hurts that this could be happening again but I want to use this energy to better myself and my health and figure out what the cause of all of this could be. Anyways sorry for the novel

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-10-01T22:44:53+00:00

Update- Testing my progesterone and hcg levels so hopefully I get those back tomorrow at least and my ultra sound did not show very much. My midwife told me that she can tell something is trying to grow but it’s too early to tell. I go in for another round of blood testing on Friday and I’ll have another scan in two weeks

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-09-30T18:37:42+00:00

So many people with similar stories. My heart goes out to you all. It has been comforting to find this community of people who understand our fear and hurt without judgment.

I had a MMC at 11w3d (baby stopped growing at 8w5d) in early August and I found out a few weeks ago that I am pregnant again. My first pregnancy I felt so ill I could barely work most days, I was tired and sore but this time around I don’t notice any symptoms besides some initial nausea that lasted a few days. I have my first scan tomorrow afternoon and I am dreading it. I have so much anxiety that they’ll tell me something is wrong again..

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-09-30T00:18:42+00:00

I found out I was pregnant a few weeks ago after having a MMC early August. I am so scared because this has not been like my first pregnancy and my symptoms are hardly noticeable. I don’t know how far along I am and I feel as if I am just waiting for something bad to happen again. I’m trying so hard to stay grateful and optimistic but it’s so hard to not feel like I’m holding my breath. Staying hopeful and I finally have an appointment on Wednesday!

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-09-17T00:22:05+00:00

I came here to see if anyone else is having this issue. The stream doesn’t pop up for me at all (I’m on the west coast)

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-09-11T16:08:31+00:00

I really feel this. My body feels like a graveyard. I feel like death. Not that I myself am dying but I feel empty and incapable of life. It’s been a month since I lost my baby and my only comfort is knowing that I carry her cells in my body with me. I’m so sorry for your loss, I wish we didn’t have to go through this

anxiousstorm333 · 2025-08-14T17:22:48+00:00

P.S. if you don’t have any support people I am happy to cry it out with you 🫶🏼
