I'm nervous y'all

[persa]

About my labs tomorrow. It will be the first set in a week, since we verified that my Hcg (more than) doubled.

It's been such a busy and stressful week and my anxiety has been through the roof. I've been sleeping for crap and I can't have caffeine till my RE says so.

We're selling our house next month and we're trying to get the house ready for listing. I've been physically very active with packing and picking up but I've been pretty good about not lifting heavy stuff though.

So far I've told my 2 best friends and my SIL but that's it. We're not going to tell our parents until after the first US in a few weeks.

I always feel nervous the night before an appt too. I hope you get good news tomorrow!

I'm sorry things are so crazy right now. I hope that this is a less crazy week for you, so you can relax a little and bring your anxiety down. Getting good news tomorrow would probably do wonders for that anxiety, huh?

Hugs and FX for tomorrow!

[persa]

Thanks y'all. azurely, it sure would.

And in other news, I think I may have an arrhythmia. The last couple of nights when I finally get to lay down, I feel
my heart catching in my chest, like a skipped beat. I finally checked my pulse today while it was happening and it actually is skipping a beat. I'll see if I can get an EKG at work tomorrow and set up an appointment with a cardiologist.

FX for today! I go in this morning for my second set of labs to see if my hcg levels are rising at the right rate. I'll be on pins and needles all day with you!

GL! I had my 2 beta's and then had to wait 2 weeks before first u/s and I was a nervous wreck. I still have u/s every  2 weeks and I get so excited when I go to one and then as it gets closer and closer to my next appt I get nervous. I think we'll all be this way for awhile :^)

The heart issue you mention is quite likely anxiety. After all we went through to get pregnant I think it's understandable to be anxious between appointments! Good luck!

[FastHands]

GL today! It is all so stressful in the beginning. I wouldn't worry tooo much about your activity around the house. I remind myself that Kerri Walsh was like 6 weeks pregnant when she won olympic gold in volleyball. That is more physical activity than I will EVER do, lol, and her baby is perfectly fine. Of course don't do anything you're not comfortable doing, but I wouldn't panic that you've done any harm.

I had the exact same thing and saw a cardiologist. He told me that it's normal and that both healthy and unhealthy hearts do this. It's also more common at night when you are lying down. I had an EKG and ultrasound of the heart and then just as a precaution I had to wear a 30 day heart monitor, but only had to wear it for 2 weeks. Once he was able to verify that the skipped beat feeling was harmless, I got to take it off. And I had A LOT of skipped beats while I was wearing it. They are called premature ventricular contractions.

Good luck with your labs!!!

[persa]

Thanks y'all. lo, yes I definitely do feel them more at night.

I'm going to the endocrinologist on Wednesday to get my thyroid labs reviewed.

I'll update when I get my labs

MrsAggie, good luck to you too.

[persa]

Labs were good. Staying on the estradiol and crinone and next set of labs and first US next week!

I have an endocrinologist appt on Wednesday to check on my thyroid so that's good. H wants me to relax a little tonight if possible. I'm so tired I'm inclined to just pass out by 9 o'clock tonight.

MrsAggie, how did your labs go? Hope all is well.

[azurely]

I'm so glad to hear that persa!

Hope your labs went well too MrsAggie!

[MrsAggie]

Ugh, that blows. My RE always orders them Stat but I had to wait with my first set of confirmatory labs because the lab messed up the results so I had to get them redrawn. I was so anxious to get them!

Glad to hear that your labs were good!
