See Update in Post #3- I'm out, chemical pregnancy. Bleeding started at 16DPO, 2 days past expected AF. Please remove me from the Intro Thread. I wish you all the best of luck for a healthy, happy pregnancy and easy, safe birth.

For some reason, I just can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact I'm pregnant. I keep debating all my symptoms... Are my breasts really sore enough? Full enough? Is that funny abdominal feeling really pregnancy, maybe it's gas? Why am feeling THIS crampy? I had myself all worked up and was SURE this was a chemical pregnancy, so I went out and bought a digital test, popped right up PREGNANT, in way less than the "three minutes" time allotted. I felt more reassured yesterday, but this morning, I'm right back to thinking I'm not really pregnant. A big part of this, I'm sure, is that I had an early loss between my DD and DS and it was a missed chemical pregnancy, so I thought I was 7.5 weeks, when really nothing had developed all along. I don't have a current midwife, but I did email the midwife I know at the Birth Center we want to go to, and ask if she can order Beta's', if not. I'll go back to my old CNM practice from my DD & DS's birth and ask if they will order them. I need some degree of reassurance here! On top if it all, my husband is out of town and the entire state funded organization I work for has been placed on alert that we are very likely to be line-item vetoed by the Governor (I live in Michigan, 'nuff said). So yeah, I'm super stressed. My will to not do Beta's and an early U/s is out the window! I'll do Beta's early next week, and an early u/s at 7 or so weeks, for sure. Otherwise, I'm never going to relax!! I forgot about all this stress of early pregnancy!!
