Peg,
It is a long list but all are positive things to try to get what you wanted...a baby. My brother and his wife tried for years and then ended up doing invitro...and it took the first time! Then, surprise...11 months later they had another son. So they have 2 really close together. The Lord works in many ways!
I think it is normal to reflect on everything you've been through, including asking yourself if you were really "OK" with it not working. You probably were, you weren't fooling yourself, but that doesn't mean you can't also be THRILLED about being pregnant. I believe in doing all we can to get what we want.
The first three months are scary. You are so happy and yet so aware of what the possibilities are. Remember to eat right, get enough sleep, gentle exercise and monitor that thyroid and your blood pressure.
And keep posting. I taught childbirth education for 10 years so I know how important it is to talk about all this stuff. Also, keep a dream diary if you can. Pregnancy dreams are fascinating!
Belly-hug from me.
Daisy
