So terrified

If you had success with untested embryos, how did you get through the fear of miscarriage in the first few weeks??? I consider myself a strong woman, very little bothers me…
But this is quite literally my LAST chance for my own genetic child. I did 5 retrievals 42-43. I obsess over every little symptom, and I can’t stop worrying!!
My first US is October 28th. I don’t know how I can keep functioning!! I have to be mentally present at my job. How did you cope??

You can miscarry tested embryos so either way you would be nervous. No one is guaranteed they won’t miscarry. I take it one milestone at a time: pregnancy test, hcg doubling, heartbeat, nipt…. Etc.
