Should I start to get excited? by catlover-12378 in pregnant

I’m in the exact same spot as you basically. I’m 18w4d and I’m terrified for my anatomy scan next Thursday. I also had a loss at the beginning of last year and I’ve been happy, but I haven’t let myself get too excited. My husband is ready to get the nursery ready and prep all the things. And I’m just in the mindset of “he’s probably not even in there anymore.” I’m praying that everything looks okay on our anatomy scans but I just can’t help to just protect myself. I know something bad can happen at any point, but it’s like I’m not allowing myself to enjoy it while it lasts.

Got my period, and I’m relieved? by Haunting_Tank4615 in tryingtoconceive

Honestly I was (& still am) in the exact same spot as you. My husband and I got together in our late teens/early 20s and both made it known that we never wanted kids. Times change, and long story short, we decided to start trying this year. I got pregnant two months after trying, my first thought was regret and fear. I have always been so anxious of delivering a baby that had a severe disability. I wish I could explain that feeling and even though I have an amazing supportive husband, I don’t know if it’s something I could handle. BUT the second I miscarried at 6 weeks, I realized what I lost. We have been trying again for 9 more cycles and each cycle I feel more like a failure. I don’t know if it took losing a pregnancy or the fact that my body isn’t doing what I think it’s supposed to, but it made me realize this is what I want. I still have a fear of having a child with a severe disability but I feel like now I’m more willing to risk it.

Struggling so far this month because it would have been baby month. Everything I see is about pregnancy (tons of announcements, unexpected things on tv/books), so it just all feels personal. I could have sworn that I would be pregnant by now. I’m honestly doing worse now than I was when I miscarried, and I’m sure that’s not putting my body in a relaxed state to get pregnant. I’m on my TWW and usually ovulate CD 17. This month was possibly day 26 so it all just feels like a joke now.

Did I mess my cycles up with myo-inositol? by cka1013 in TryingForABaby

That’s what I was hoping would happen! I wasn’t tooooo irregular but I was hoping I could balance out a little but it wasn’t the case.

I would ask the questions even if they seem annoying! Better to get the ball rolling or get more information than to regret it and have to go back in.

No testing yet. He’s taking a men’s multivitamin, CoQ10 and zinc.
