This is my first post on the board, I'm happy to finally join everyone on the boards, after lurking for about a year or so! I am also trying to get pregnant with what would be our first child, and I'm actually hoping that I am pregnant right now. I've had POTS symptoms for 15 months now, and while I feel they've been improving, mother nature is getting antsy. I'll be 37 in four days, so I'm starting to feel like it's now or never to try for a baby. But I do feel nervous about jumping into it before letting myself heal a bit more. I'm always more symptomatic during the 1-2 days leading up to AF, then another day once it's here. I've been waiting for AF to show up, but nothing yet, except increased POTS symptoms, lol. I know I have a severe anxiety issue along with the POTS, so I did a little reading about anxiety sufferers who are pregnant. From what I've read, I personally would expect to be more anxious than usual during the first trimester, which would mean more dizziness, nausea and worrying. I don't have problems with hypovolemia or drastic drops in BP upon standing, so I don't know if I'd feel better during pregnancy at any point. But for ladies who are hypovolemic, pregnancy can help in the later months. Good luck to us all! I will report back if I have good news.
