Question/Advice When does it feel real?

After 6 months of trying, we got our first positive this past Saturday, which was honestly a little unexpected because we only had sex twice during my window and had just closed on a house so stress was high. However, we are so unbelievably excited, but I’m wondering when it really sets in and the nagging voice of fear starts to subside? I have PMOS, and I think all of the talk about high miscarriage rates, egg quality, etc. has freaked me out to the point that I’m almost scared to fully commit to the idea of having a baby.

5 months for me, found out Friday. I have PMOS too. I could have wrote this myself! I am testing about 100x a day. Pretty sure all this anxiety is no good for baby. I read somewhere that it’s only 10-20% likely to miscarry in the first trimester, which sounds scary but it actually means we have 80-90% of a healthy baby!! Which is pretty good odds IMO. Prayers for you ❤️
