My game plan...comments or suggestions welcome!

So as some of you know, I have just found out I am pregnant again.  I am super excited, but super nervous as well.  My history isn't good....I get pregnant easily, but have a tough time making it out of first trimester.  Prior to having Ryder I experienced 5 losses in a very short period of time.  So, not worrying is impossible, but I am trying to make this easier on myself.

I spoke briefly to my family Dr. this morning.  AF would have been due friday so we are waiting until then to do a beta.  If he gives me that first number, I will completely stress that it is too low when logically I know that it is the two sets of numbers 2 days apart that matter.  So, on his suggestion, I will have a beta on friday, one on monday, then meet with him tuesday to go over the results (rather then trying to interpret them myself).  That way I have the big picture, not just the one number to worry about all weekend. At that point and time I will make an appointment with my OB (if everything looks good), and am not going to have an ultrasound until 7 weeks (unless there is some reason too, such as suspected etopic or something).  In the meantime I have started my progesterone supplements, and had always continued taking my fish oil, prenatals and baby asprin.  

Any other suggestions to try to keep my stress level down?  First trimester is really really hard for me.  Fortunately, having an amazing 9 month old helps...he keeps me super busy, plus if he winds up being the only child I have I will still consider myself very fortunate.  Still, I am worrying already over this one....

Thanks ladies!  As always, your input is appreciated!!

Congrats. After 2 m/c here I understand the anxiety.  At 10 weeks with my first son, dh bought me a hospital grade doppler so when I was anxious I could listen in.  I also spent a lot of time in my bible, thats just what worked for me.  Good luck to you.

Thanks so much.  I have a really good doppler from when I was pregnant with Ryder so that really helps down the road a bit.  I used to listen in every day and it was amazing!

Thanks so much Rachel...love you too honey!

Did a digi this afternoon (12DPO) and it came up pregnant, so starting to feel better.  We shall see what those beta's say.  

Thanks again for all the support everyone...it's so nice to have somewhere to turn and people who understand.
