Hi Caroline, Loobylou and LOS...

just sending you loads of baby dust from Germany, PMA to go.

just also wanted to say there's an over 40s crowd thread too so if you feel like popping in there you'll find even more support...

watching your 2ww thread is inspiration to all of us especially between tx..I am going potty waiting

remember the knicker checks girls..it's an official part of the process

love bigJ

Having a really hard time at the present, all my symptoms seem to have vanished! Am so low at the moment, have had some cramps and am convinced that today will be the day that it is over. Feel like I am waiting for a bus, I know the service has been cut and it will not be coming round the corner but I am still standing there just in case. I keep squeezing my hand to convince my self that I have support (even imaginary) but its all I can do to keep from crying. Perhaps I am just overtired, only managed a couple of hours last night.

I know PMA is the name of the game but it seems to have escaped me today. How you are doing better than this Caroline?

BIG HUGS

I know it's hard, but try to stay positive - remember nothing has happened and signs are just that - signs, not everybody gets them so don't get disheartened. Where there's a chance there's still hope

Hang in there

Take care of yourself

Hi Loobyloo

All my AF symptons have disappeared except for very sore boobs. I developed a bad sore throat and cough yesterday afternoon which kept me awake all night.

I can live will all the physical symptons but emotionally I am a mess. I am very frightened - I have that constant worrying feeling in the pit of my stomach like something bad is going to happen - soon.

I am constantly forcing myself with PMA but it is getting harder as time goes on. This is the first time that I have not worked through my 2ww and I am not sure it has helped.

Only the weekend to get through and I really hope you will be on line for updates and support.

Sending you lots of PMA until you get your test results, the 2ww is by far I think the hardest part of tmt, as nothing to occupy your mind other than thinking about what is going on inside your body!!!

I didn't work in my first 2ww, I did last time - and I haven't decided what to do next time! Don't think anything will make it easier or the time go faster.

Not long to wait now, you will get lots of help and support on here as well which always helps.

Hi Caroline

Good to hear you are still in the race. I haven't even got the sore boobs anymore, nothing whatsoever, apart from mild cramps.

Am not sure whether being at work helps or not. Have only been back since Wednesday, it does help to pass the time away more than sitting in an empty house with daytime tv, but I have no concentration at all, and really dont want anyone making small talk with me. I manage a small team who are great, but trying to act normal is very hard (they dont know about IVF). I think if I had to do it again I would probably saty at home for the entire 2ww, I am getting nothing done at work and really dont want to be here.

My computer at home is still offline so unless I can persuade my brother to fix it tonight or tomorrow then I will be incommunicardo until Monday morning. He lives next door so hopefully I can nag him all night to fix it for the sake of my sanity!!!

Am still participating in the knicker and nipple check, I'm sure I could convince myself that they are green and glowing if i thought it would do any good!! Seem to be dividing the day into sections, mentally checking off each time I reach a new time slot and no sign of anything bad.....

Back in a while, another knicker check to navigate.....

Looby...it's not much but here's a cyber ((((((((HUG)))))))) it's not as good as a real hug but it comes from someone who cares and really understands what you're going through. You've a whole tribe of people on here who care. Take heart, you're not alone.

Caroline...the symptoms are always such a b*tch, coming and going giving no damned clue as to what they mean. Again, there are lots of us who know how you feel and are sending our most positive thoughts.

love
Debra.

Massive hugs to you both - not long to go. I know it's murder but keep hold of the PMA - every minute that goes by is another reason to stay hopeful.

Bless you both

Dear All

Thank you all for your support and wise words - it really does make a difference knowing you are out there and have true knowledge of what we are going through.

Although I get massive support from my DH, family and friends (my IVF treatment and desire to have children is no secret), this 'friendship' is really the icing on the cake.

This feeling of 'not knowing you' but on the other hand 'knowing you' is really uplifting and puts ones faith back into human nature. Whatever the outcome for me on Monday, I will endeavour to continue with this correspondence and try to help others as you have helped me.

Thank you
Caroline P

I wish I could say something to help or something that hasnt been said before. You must have been told a million times no symptoms doesnt mean no pregnancy. I think it sometimes takes a while to get rid of all the hormones from the tmt some maybe that is why the symptoms go. My sister is expecting twins (naturally) at the moment and said she went to her 13 week scan expecting to be told she was not pregnent as she didnt feel anything(and this is her second time) only to be told she is having twins!
Hold on there it is not long now we are all thinking positive thoughts for you and sending you shed loads of babydust!!!!!!

Hi all

Amen to Caroline's comments - I may not know what you look like but your support has been invaluable this week, especially knowing that it is has been true, heartfelt and experienced, which makes a huge difference.

I drew a lot of comfort form Ellies post about symptoms disappearing due to the tx hormones weaning out - have grabbed that one for dear life and am clinging on with both hands!

I will keep you all posted as to my ups and downs (of which there are sure to be many!) true cancerian, emotional to the end. I also send cyber hugs and squeezes to everyone else on the tx pathway, wherever you may be.

Well, its 2.15 on day 11, Friday afternoon and I think I have had enough work for one day, have just about switched onto weekend mode and am going to make sure that i keep myself busy to pass the time.

Have a good one everyone, chin up and happy knicker checks

Nothing to add, to what's already been posted ... but just so you know that ANOTHER person is thinking about both of you and wishing the time away for you.
