Cheryl, I've posted a note on another thread where I mentioned that your words "Be proud of your embies" had really touched me. And now I feel bad that I doubted my very own embies that got me this far.
brs888, I too talk to my embies, nurture them and beg them to grow (and NO that does not mean you are crazy!!!!).
Have been having these cramps for the past 3-4 days, but the doctor's said there is nothing to worry about (this was prior to getting my results yesterday). I actually begged the nurse if I could have a scan before next Monday; but no luck. Am on progesterone supplemts and today I had this brownish/pinkish discharge (like dried blood) ... am totally paranoid.
Dora,
Congratulations to you and dh,
have a healthy pregnancy and liky cheryl said,come over to the other side, if youfeel like it..
Brown blood is old blood-I had it daily and especially daily in my first tri when I was using the pessaries.. do mention it to your doc though and try not to worry too much abt it and enjoy this lovely time..

Sorry it's taken a while to get back, my daughter is ill. Unfortunately, my test was negative, but I might try again in a few months. Good luck to everyone awaiting results and PMA to everyone in their 2WW

I am ok now. I was upset at time, especially as when I told 'DP' he said 'What're you crying for? aren't you supposed to be going to work?' when I asked if he was going to get out of bed he said 'no' and turned over and went back to sleep. When I arrived at work, there were 4 heavily pregnant women in the waiting room on the way in. Fortunately, I don't deal directly with the public. As I have been pregnant before, I know the signs and for a while there I thought I was, but they stopped. Maybe I was, who knows?
My daughter who's 12 is in a lot of pain. The Doctor thinks it's an ovarian cyst. I think she's also upset it was negative because she was hoping to have a baby to play with.
I haven't decided for definite if I will try again, but I'd love to stay on the site. At least I've been through it now and if I can help other people, it won't have been for nothing. My doctor thinks anxiety had a lot to do with it, so thinks we will be successful if we try again. Hopefully I won't have all my money stolen next time!
Enjoy every moment of your pregnancy, it's a really special time. Congrats and hugs to everyone who tested positive.
Love Michele

Michele, sorry you got a BFN. I just wanted to comment on your doctor's suggestion that anxiety might have something to do with it. There was a Swedish survey released 2 weeks ago (it was on bbc.com too) that showed women who were very stressed before tmt had no worse results that women who were more relaxed. Please don't think to blame yourself.
I hope your daughter gets better soon.
hugs
Debra.

Game Over.
Dates: Aug 02 - May 06
Tries: 5 fresh + 4 frozen.
Results: 1 daughter, 2 m/c, 1 ectopic.
Well tomorrow is the big day - I got for a p/test at the hospital. I have resisted temptation and not done a hpt (although the last couple of days I have been really tempted).
I have been quite positive about the whole thing, however, tonight I feel awful and am a little down. I am sure I have got period pains.
I am trying to avoid the subject of a negative result with DH as neither of us want to accept that the cycle may not have worked.
I suppose it will be another restless night tonight.
