BeiBei, I'm so sorry that your FS couldn't be more reassuring. I think all you can do is simply take things one day at a time. I think it was Monnie's suggestion that you look at each day as being the furthest you've got, so that's an acheivement in itself. I'm recalling the words of my FS (which may or may not be comforting, they weren't to me at first but I did find some comfort in them when I thought about it) - we've got you pregnant once, if worst comes to the worst, we can do it again.
So... when the spotting threatens to overwhelm me and reduce me to a quivering wreck, I'll sit calmly with my hand on my belly and remind myself that today, I'm 8 weeks pregnant. At this time, in this moment, I am pregnant and everything is ok. I've never been 8 weeks pregnant before, so getting this far is an achievement. Tomorrow it will be 8 weeks and 1 day, and that will be another milestone on this journey.
I'm sure we've all had days of fear, confusion and wondering how much further we can go... but I honestly think that we need to be more positive. Let bubs know they are wanted, loved, treasured already and you are choosing to believe in them.
Hang in there! And if one day at a time is too much, take it one hour at a time. We'll be there with you.
