Just hang in there! My strategy was trying not to think about it too much ( not easy, I know) so I got involved in various activities, read books, watched feel good movies and chatted with family and friends.

I’m trying! I’m getting obsessed with whether I should feel implantation cramps (I haven’t) or have spotting (none) and does that mean the embryo didn’t implant? And when do any other symptoms kick in? Are there any? Aaargghh. I’m trying to distract myself, it’s super hard.

There are different schools that tell you what you should/ shouldn’t feel but to be honest each woman experiences the process differently.

For me each time was different: I felt cramps on one side or the other,I had spotting at different times ( day 6-8), I felt nauseous and I didn’t feel anything at all. But you also have to understand that those medications that you have prescribed also have side effects ( progesterone - nausea, frequent peeing etc. or medrol) so I would account for that and would try not to pay too much attention to it or try not to interpret the symptoms you’re experiencing one way or the other.

I wish I had an answer for you. Just hang in there! You’ve done all you could and now it’s up to the genetics. You’ve got this !

Thanks M1! One day at a time. Yesterday I thought I ruined everything by screwing up the progesterone injection. This process is so bad for my mental state lol

In terms of progesterone, if you don’t like injections or worry about not doing it right/not taking the right amount, you can also ask your doctor about the progesterone vaginal pills. I used a brand called Prometrium but there are many others.

How did it go OP. Send us some good news

Still waiting!! Soooo much waiting. Should know this weekend. 🤞 🤞🤞

And thank you for the support! It means a lot that a random stranger cares enough to ask ☺️

I’m so sad. I’m 5 weeks, 4 days into my first pregnancy and started bleeding yesterday morning. Went to my OBGYN and said it’s very possible this is a miscarriage, however, my cervix was still closed at the time. I’m 29 and have no family history of miscarriages or abnormalities. I’m taking my 2nd blood test tomorrow to see if my HCG levels are falling (bad sign) since my first test. I stopped bleeding this afternoon so lasted ~24 hours... I’m so confused and sad and emotionally drained. 😓
