I wish I knew the answer to this question, but I definitely don't! It seems like this is the main concern for my "worries" lately. There's nothing that has happened so far to make me think that it will, but I still worry. I have had zero bleeding or spotting. I have had some cramps, but they are either mild cramps, which I hear is quite normal for pregnancy anyway or they are what I found to be called "round ligament pains". Basically, it means your uterus is starting to stretch and it causes pains. I feel these sharp pains mostly when I stretch, sneeze, or roll over in bed, so I've pinned it down to that cause.
Also, after some research, I found that there are a few reasons why women miscarry. First, they might not have enough progesterone. I thought this could be a concern with me since my progesterone was pretty low the first cycle I ovulated, BUT I have been taking progesterone supplements since a few days after I triggered, so I think that would fix that. Also, I've been taking baby aspirin which is supposed to help blood flow, especially to the uterus to prevent miscarriage. Other causes could be completely out of my control, such as a chromosonal abnormality. I realize that even if it does happen, it's not my fault, but that doesn't make it any easier. I feel like we've been through so much to get to this point, I can't imagine starting over.
Technically, the "safe" point would be the end of the first trimester, which for me would be around August 9, but I've also heard that the 10 week point is also a big hurdle and once you are over it, the chances become slim. I want to slow down and enjoy the pregnancy, but I'm so scared and just want to make sure everything is going to be ok.
I'm not that superstitious, but I feel like maybe I jinxed things by telling everybody so soon or by buying a few things already. I'm sure I'm just crazy, but I can't help but worry. Ok, that's enough of my rant today. I can't wait for my appointment next week and I'll update everyone again then.
