How to keep calm in sub-pregnancy?

Background: I (very) unexpectedly got pregnant on our 4th cycle trying after my TFMR in December. I am 5 weeks today. I always have significant ovulation pain and can feel which side I am ovulating from, and I ovulated from the right side (but my HSG showed that the right tube was blocked or very minimally open). My TFMR pregnancy took 4 years to conceive, so with these factors we are incredibly shocked to be pregnant so soon.

I am finding it incredibly hard to be optimistic and calm about this pregnancy and I am currently obsessing over my beta results.

15 DPO = 592

17 DPO = 1371

19 DPO = 2599

21 DPO = 5123

I know I am probably overthinking this, but should I be worried that my 19 and 21 DPO betas did not quite double?

I am worried that this is going to turn out to be ectopic because I ovulated on that blocked side. I don’t go my first confirmation ultrasound until June 4th.

How to you get through a sub pregnancy without thinking everything is going to go wrong again? I want to be happy and excited but all I am feeling right now is dread and anxiety. 😥
