anxiety med & pregnancy

So, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 months now and to prepare for this I weaned off 100mg zoloft and xanax as needed (probably took once or twice a month). I've been doing ok, but last week was on vacation and had a panic attack while going to bed and took 2 xanax (after the first one didnt' work after 10 min). I'm now having anticipatory anxiety - am constantly checking myself for panic symptoms. It's really annoying. Plus, the fact that I may or may not be pregnant (will know in about a week) and am worried about the effect of the xanax on the fetus. I should not have taken it thinking I could be pregnant, but I cannot work through my anxiety! It seems like it never ends. I really hate this shortness of breath feeling and constant nagging of my mind checking for panic symptoms asking, "hmm, am I about to have a panic attack?"   I want to get pregnant but am almost hoping I'm not right now since I took the xanax and do not want baby to have birth defects. Just another thing contributing to my always anxious mind.
