With every twinge, cramp, gas bubble I start second guessing everything. It doesn't help that the progesterone is making me feel raw, so that is adding to the anxiety.
I think I'm going to go crazy till I know one way or the other. M/c's are more 'normal' for me than succesful pregnancies. It's hard to be positive when your more familiar with failure.
Ugh! At least I'm tired, that's a good sign, plus I'm still nauseous. Going to bed early.

It's totally understandable that you'd be second-guessing every little thing. I know I'll be the same when I get my BFP. It is SO unfair that a loss is the norm for you. Your symptoms are good signs in my opinion! I hope they give you some assurance that this one is here to stay!!

The first trimester is the worst... Every little twinge drives one into a state of panic.

I had spotting for weeks at the beginning of this pregnancy. I know everyone is different, just saying that it can be normal.

Thanks everyone. I think I'm just going to have to deal with it. I think the biggest problem is the #1 pregnancy symptom (good ol' constipation) I get is rearing it's head. And that while it should be comforting, makes me feel like crap and also makes me all crampy.

Sam, I hate that you feel M/c's are more normal for you. I hope you get great numbers. I have everything crossed that this is your rainbow baby.

I just want to reiterate everyone elses thoughts that what you are feeling is "normal." Although I wasn't PG last cycle, during the 2WW I stopped exercising for fear that I would cause some problems. I knew in my head it was silly but at the same time I think anyone who has ever experienced a loss also looses the carefree innocence that people who never had a loss have.
With DS I never once thought about miscarriage. I took it in stride, although it took us a good year to concieve him. Since the loss, I worry about how I will react when the time comes again. I'm sure I'd be questioning everything as well hun!
I agree with everyone else--have positive thoughts! The power of your mind is incredible! Maybe do some visualization each day, think of how healthy your baby is, imagine baby burrowing deep in your uterus, etc. We are all here to cheer you and this pregnancy on
