Hi Fi<br>Read you message about your test date, think positive and do the test, putting it off we only increase your stress and that's not good. I have an excellent feeling about your test i'm sure it will be the positive you want. I'm not doing too bad at the moment I've been reading everything I can find on OHSS and polycystic ovaries I guess being informed is my way of dealing with things. I'm hopeful of starting again before Christmas but not too worried if we don't as it takes the pressure off. Helen hope your doing OK any plans yet?<br>Aly<br>x

Hi Fi<br><br>Now come on - all this negativity won't do you any good at all! You have to think baby (ies), imaging that they are nicely implanting and that you are already pg.<br><br>You have to Fi, I know what you mean about your safety mechanism and I have always thought -ive on all my previous cycles except the last one. I know that ended in a -ive, but I felt able to deal with it more easily - somehow? I feel ok about it all now and am ready to go for the next one. So, I am sure that +ive thinking does help along the way.<br><br>Now, I must speak to Tracey S about the birch twigs - she did put them away in her cupboard, but I know her mobile number and I can get her to get them out at any time... So, come on girl, you can do it. <br><br>PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA..<br><br>I have to say as well that all your messages have been really sweet. Thanks for thinking of me. I have been thinking about you too and I know how hard it will be to get that result on Monday. Do you do a pg test at home or is it a blood test at the hospital? Only you know, when you will be up for it. I don't know if I could put if off until friday - I would probably burst from anticipation. Remember it could well be +ive and why put yourself through the agony for 4 more days of not knowing? Anyway, that's up to you honey.<br><br>So, no more -ive thoughts, you get back on the PMA bandwagon or else!<br><br>Now, where it TS's number.....<br><br>Love<br>Helen.<br>xxxx<br><br>
FI<br><br>honestly I have now spoken to Helen S on the phone and am just debating my birch twigs out - I am giving you one last chance before<br>I get them out. I have used them on Nikola and Jo and Melanie in their time and threatened Helen with them on a couple of occasions.<br>It worked for Jo - it can work for you! I know what you mean about safety and defense mechanisms - have loads of them. After my 3rd negative (admittedly I had the ectopic on the first so sort of knew they could do something with my embies!) I was like "it's never going to work - what is so different this time and I am destined to be childless and I think good things and it does the opposite so if I think bad things I might get lucky" - you know the sort of thing.<br>I gave myself a kick up the backside and really chilled most of the time (small blip when got AF pains) thought positive all the time - found time to laugh and imagine myself pg - I was back at work day 5 post tranfer. Fi try and do the same - it does make a difference - there is no reason to believe this won't work this time - 4 goes is 25% when you roll the dice. Think positive and GOOD LUCK<br>Thinking of you - remember the twigs are lurking.<br>Love<br>Tracey<br>xxx

hi girlies,<br><br>thankyou thankyou!!! especially helen, since i dont know if i could be offering such good advice after what you have been through. i am really pleased that you are thinking of the future, any chance of you getting a holiday? think i might be needing a telephone chat with you next week....<br><br>tracey, please please get the twigs out for me, i need any help!!<br>i am thinking positive thanks to you girlies, and thinking implantation and growing chantras!!!!!!!!!!<br><br>lots of love fi<br>PS can i ask....i have been having right sided pain, like niggly cramps difficult to describe, i am thinking hoping they are positive
Hi Fi<br><br>That's it - you go girl, get into the +ive spirit!<br><br>I am feeling really +ive about everything - don't know how, after my previous -ive cycles, I have been a complete mess! Maybe it's having you guys around that helps?<br><br>We are going on holiday actually - in 2 weeks to Northumberland in a nice cosy cottage - me, DH and puppy dog - Bliss! So we don't even care if it rains, we are going to chill out and enjoy ourselves.<br><br>Just waiting to hear about when I can have the NK cell blood test - and where (!) and then we are probably going to change clinics to Care in Sheffield. I have the info pack and we're hoping to start a new fresh cycle in November.<br><br>Now niggly pains - that could be good and I am sure is good - so you just keep on thinking +ive and before you know it, there'll you'll be a pg lady!<br><br>If you want to talk next week, no problem, we'll have to exhange numbers over a private email or something. You just let me know.<br><br>Take care honey<br>Love and hugs<br>Helen.<br>xxx
Fi<br><br>have dusted off the twigs especially - they are on FI alert!! Must say well done on the pma in the last message. Niggly pains - did get those and in my right side - just hard to say as we all get different pains and some get away with none.I did keep getting these odd pains in my side and look what happened.<br>Keep up the chantra - we are all willing you on.<br>Take special care<br>Love<br>Tracey<br>xxx
