Anxiety after IVF

After the long IVF journey, I imagined the only challenge was getting pregnant and rest of the journey would be smooth. No one warned me how taxing it could be. At first the anxiety of the pregnancy test, then waiting for every ultrasound, every test.

Every little cramp makes me want to reach out to my doctor to see what’s going on. Every discharge down there has me running to the washroom to see if everything is ok. I’m trying to think straight and not worry so much but it’s hard. Next appointment isn’t for another week. I can’t seem to get there fast enough. When does this become easy?
