Beta Sunday and anxiety

So I am sitting here and I am getting more and more panicky as the day goes on....I so badly want to take a test but I am so scared. I go for my beta on Sunday. I almost feel like I am going to have a panic attack. Anyone else get these overwhelming feelings?

Oh yeah, thats "normal". My last IVF I got so worked up that this time I just threw out whatever tests were left in the house. Not that that's going to make me any less crazy but every little bit helps :)   At least you're almost to Sunday, good luck!

Yes, yes, and yes. My first IVF as I was waiting the beta results I thought I was going to have a straight up heart attack. That whole day my heart was beating so fast, I was sweating, shaking...all while working and trying to teach 7th graders! It's perfectly normal to feel what you are feeling, but I find that what helped me was being super distracted. For my first FET (got my first beta today, a positive) I did a hpt which I always swore I wouldn't do. This time, I did not want to deal with the anxiety. I wanted a heads up on what I should expect. It definitely helped me. Today as I was awaiting the results I also stayed super busy and had a whole day of activities planned with friends. What you're feeling is normal but try to stay busy and not focus on it (which feels near impossible). Good luck with everything!

Married for 3 years to the love of my life! TTC for over a year. Started seeing RE in April 2012. Lap in July revealed endo covering left ovary and part of my bowels. This will require extensive surgery by a specialist. RE wants us to have babies first because surgery could compromise my ability to carry. Started first round of IVF in August. Ten follies retrieved, eight fertilized, two frosties. IVF #1= C/P *Frozen Embie Transfer scheduled for end of Nov/Dec. Going to transfer 2 frosties if all goes according to plan*
FET # 1 [12/18]: Transferred two "beautiful" embies.
Beta # 1: 126 [BFP!]
Beta # 2: 546
Beta #3: 1618!!
Beta # 4 - 4954!!!!!! Ultrasound 1/18 - Two heartbeats at 121 and 136. Fraternal twins! Um, is this really happening?!
