[quote=Anonymous]Well, I got a positive pregnancy test after 2.5 years of TTC. I have never been pregnant in my life so this was an amazing accomplishment to see 2 pink lines. I thought I would feel so elated and I'm scared to death. My family (only people we told) are very excited and realized that I'm not excited at all and they had to ask why. I said, "We tried so hard to get here with all these IVF's and all the money and I just don't believe it's going to stick."

I know this is clearly the wrong attitude, and I'm not trying to self-destruct over here, but when does it feel real? After I see the heartbeat? After I graduate and leave the fertility clinic and go to my OB? After 13 weeks? After labor and delivery? I've made it through 3 betas which were all super strong and now in a few days I have the ultrasound.

I said to my husband, "I'm so glad winter is coming. I just want to bundle up and not let anyone see me until spring thaw when I'll be 6 months pregnant and hopefully in the clear." I'm sure this thinking is normal, and the harder you try the more tenuous you think the pregnancy is, but can anyone say anything reassuring, or slap me, or something? Thanks.[/quote]
