7w2d viable pregnancy after ectopic, when does it get better?

If there's anyone here who has had a successful pregnancy after an ectopic, i'm having a difficult time. Had an early scan that was great, 6w5d, intrauterine, 120 BPM. All looks great. But the stress of losing this pregnancy too is eating me alive. I've never had a miscarriage, but I am drowning in stress over something else going wrong and losing the pregnancy. Every time we get news that I feel will ease my anxiety, I don't feel better. I am so stressed out and worried no matter what coping strategies I use.

If you've had a successful pregnancy after an ectopic, when did you find your anxiety started to ease any? Any words of advice? Every day feels like hell.

Sadness 3 months post ectopic

I had an ectopic treated with methotrexate at the beginning of June this year. We are just starting ttc this cycle, since ovulation will be exactly at 3 months post-methotrexate. This is probably the worst thing I've ever gone through emotionally. I'm still functioning in daily life, but really still struggling emotionally. Somedays I feel like I should not be so emotional since it's been 3 months and we're getting back to ttc. 😅

I know it gets better, but I guess i'm just looking for someone to actually tell me it gets better. I'm also a sonographer at an mfm full-time, so I really feel like I can't get away from pregnancy / pregnant women / thinking about pregnancy almost ever.

Thanks for any support and kind words.

Positive?

18 days post ovulation by positive ovulation test, 3 days late on period, but this is my first cycle not on an iud in years. This was with morning urine. We previously thought we had very faint positives but chalked it up to indent lines. Do we think this is positive before we get our hopes up again? Just worried since we had negatives and we're so far past ovulation

Early lines or shadow?

13/14 days post ovulation based off positive ovulation test. This is our first time trying to conceive, so we can't tell if these are shadow lines or very faint lines. We swear there's a very light pink shade to them in person, but I'm afraid we have line eyes 😅

First photo is from 13 days post ov, 2 & 3 are from 14 days. Thank you for any advice!

After posting, the first image blurred a bit so it's basically impossible to see 😅
