Hello Jo, Just wondered how you are doing. Have you stopped doing pg tests yet? You must have your first scan soon, I think I may have read on one of the other threads that it is Friday - but equally I may have made that up - my brain is total mush these days!! Anyway good luck - whenever it is. I sincerely hope you are feeling well, and looking after yourself. Thinking of you. and wishing you well, Lots of love Lorraine xxxx

Hey Lorraine ..... thanks for thinking about me. I'm fine thanks, have had mild sickness for 2 days now which is making me start to believe its true, not that it's that nice, but as you can understand I will never ever complain about one uncomfortable aspect of this pregnancy because I know how fortunate we are. Scan on friday - am a bit scared of course - obviously you dread there'll be nothing there but I bet everyone's the same so I'm staying positive. I have done 4 tests in total I'm ashamed to say - I think I'm over that bit now, but you never know when a panic may strike!!! More to the point, I have read your thread and am really sad for you BUT....... I think I detect a glimmer of you wanting to try again? Am I wrong? If your doc said there was no particular reason why it was not succesful then it shows that it's just a matter of luck and numbers. When ours failed last time they said there was no reason why, and we just had different drugs this time (the "natural" ones rather than synthetic cos they were cheaper). I know you can't just keep on doing it - we were going to finish ourselves at the end of the year but if you have a feeling that you want to do it, I would follow your instincts. I don't want to give you false hope and if you truly have come to the end of what you can cope with then only you will know that and you will need just to take your own time to come to terms with the idea. It's such a hard thing to let go of, cos you'll keep thinking "if only..." for a very long time. If I was you, and I could scrape the cash together, I'd do it again. I can't speak for you obviously but I just feel that it is definately a game of chance and while it works for some first time, others take many attempts. No-one could have been more shocked than me when that line appeared I can tell you - I genuinely did not think it would ever work for us - feeling I guess pretty much as you do now. The line between the embryos staying where they are put or not I imagine is pretty fine. Sorry Lorraine, I've droned on and on but it's only because I so desperately want you to feel this feeling and next time fate could swing to your advantage. I hope I haven't upset you at all - I really dont mean to. Thinking of you - lots of Love, Jo. XXXXXX

Hi there Jo! I just found out i am pregnant 2 days ago and am a bit worried because i have a bit of discharge which is slightly coloured..kind of flesh coloured...not blood by any stretch of the imagination.... I am 45 days past LMP and probably 30 days past ovulation..... I am seeing my GP for the first time re:pregnancy tomorrow but am feeling very frightened.... I see you are recently pregnant? Did u have any similar worries....I have been trying to conceive for 2 years and this is so precious a thing isn't it?? I have been on Clomid for 3 months... Hope to hear from you soon and congratulations to you!! I am so excited for you having a scan... Love Rachel xxxx [Edited by rachel1969 on 23-Jul-03 14:55]

Hi Rachel!!! Exciting is the word. I haven't had your particular problem (at least I don't think I have but I've been so shocked since the +++ that I probably havent noticed!!) but read of dozens of people who have so don't worry. I'm sure just off-white discharge is quite normal anyway, as you say, it's not blood at all and even those who have had blood and darker spotting, etc have been fine!! Just relax - you've done it!! I'm sure being more chilled is the best thing for your baby and for you. Do you have a scan booked??? I'm worried & excited about friday. Will keep you posted - take care, - love, Jo. XXXXX

Jo - Thank you for the boost! Had a bad day yesterday - but the up side to that is the next few days will be calmer - you can only cry so many tears!! I am definetly working on the assumption that our IVF days are behind us now, although I am not an idiot I recognise that I could wake up any day and think I want to do that madness all over again!!! I have very black days and others where I just want to get my life back on track - I hope the latter thoughts will win over in time. I am sure the shock and nerves mean you are still on tenter hooks - but Friday will be such a lovely experience - I wonder how many there are?????? Ooooooooh makes you giddy just thinking about it! Lots and Lots and Lots and lots of luck Jo. Thinking of you, DH and your preciuos cargo! Blessings to you all Lorraine xxxxxxx
