You've been such an enormous support to me through this cycle - THANK YOU!<br><br>Claire - wishing you all the luck in the world for tomorrow.<br><br>Kat - pull yourself together woman!!!<br><br>Dawn - well, I had hoped we'd be maternity shopping in Bromley together, but I guess that you're just going to have to pass on your hand-me-down maternity gear when I'm a few months behind you! Feeling sick already?! Could be two in there you know...!<br><br>Wishing you all all the very best<br><br>Alison x

I know I need to keep busy but I just cannot sit still.<br>only 2 more days though.<br>Kat do you think you will be able to hold out until Friday evening?<br>and Nicola, saturday instead of Friday! Today is the 1st day Im being tempted by that stick in the bathroom, but NO, Im going to wait until Friday.<br>I keep going through all the old threads looking for signs, but the truth of it is, is that we are all different!<br><br>all the best claire for tomorrow, will be looking out for you.<br><br>take care <br>kathryn<br>x<br><br>[Edited by kathryn on 29-Jul-03 12:46]
Alison<br><br>I would be absolutely delighted to pass you my hand-me-downs, I can't tell you how shattered I am that we can't share this one, so hurry up and book your holiday, the sooner you have enjoyed that, the sooner you will be back with a +++ cycle. As for the sickness, well, it is like car sickness, and as for 2, well, I will know 2 weeks today.<br><br>Take extra special care of yourselves, and don't give up!<br><br>Lots of Love D x<br><br>Kat/Kathryn - are you going to cave and use a First Response? All I can say is go with your gut instincts, and I wish you all the luck in the world, as I do the rest of you ladies in waiting. <br><br>My wishes are with you for tomorrow Claire!<br><br>D x

Morning all, not feeling as negative this morning (was previously convinced AF would show this morning as have external meeting and have to be composed and professional!) but still don't think it will be positive. Still trying to hold out till Friday to test - I haven't bought a HPT yet so can't sneak upstairs to do it early!<br>Alison, you are so together especially compared to me - makes me feel pathetic as I haven't even tested yet and am droning on about being convinced. Am really starting to annoy myself now, let alone all of you lot.<br>Good luck & big positive vibes for today Claire - wil be looking out for your post later. <br>Lots of love<br>Kat xx

Well, I gave in and did a HPT this morning and it was not good news. Am really sad, but since AF has not shown up hope this is a false negative? Had a really late nite last nite and so am exhausted as well as down, but deep down have not given up<br>Claire hope you post good news soon
Susi, so glad to hear you havn't give up hope. A lot of people test early and get a -ve and then on the test date get a BFP! <br><br>Claire, I am thinking of you this morning.<br><br>Becky, good luck with the interview - let us know how you get on. I couldn't concentrate enough to do an interview at the moment - you're very brave! I can't even keep my mind on work!<br><br>Love to everyone<br><br>Dolly<br><br>

Hi all,<br>Susi - how naughty! An early test really tells you nothing at all - look how many people on the boards did the same as you, with the same result, then got a positive on their PROPER test date! Go and buy yourself a cream cake as 'punishment' and be kind to yourself until Friday!! <br><br>Kat, I'm glad you're feeling a bit better today. Friday really isn't far away now - you're all nearly there and should be proud of yourselves. Let's have lots of positives from all the Friday testers to kick the weekend off.<br><br>Claire - how did it go? Are you at work? I so hope it was good news.<br><br>The job interview was okay I think (but I might've been talking garbage and just not noticed!) Good not to be obsessing about embryos for 30 mins anyway! <br><br>Talk to you all soon, Beck x<br><br><br>
Susi you're a bad girl, I'm sure it will be positive on Friday. I have not succumbed to buying a HPT yet, still holding out till Friday but don't know if that'll last. Spoke to my sister last night and she said she was still feeling positive for me and talked a bit of sense into me I think, so feeling better than I have done all week.<br>Only 2 days to go now....<br>Kat xx<br><br><br>[Edited by Kat on 30-Jul-03 10:25]

Hi everyone<br><br>Thanks for all your messages on the General bit - so so lovely to get them! Well, it's sinking in a little bit and we are so delighted. Rang my Mum who could barely speak! <br><br>We keep saying to ourselves we have to test again on Saturday - not sure if that means it's a weak positive - so not to get too excited, but that's hard!!<br><br>Here's more proof that bleeding and AF pains really don't mean anything so please don't worry about them. <br><br>Jo - you test tomorrow don't you?? Sending you loads of good positive vibes and all the luck in the world!! Will be thinking of you. Hope you're another ++++!!<br><br>Kat - I only got the pains in the 2nd week, so don't worry! Glad you're feeling better today, and you too Dolly, glad you're feeling better.<br><br>Susi - how naughty are you to have done a test! At least you know there have been lots of cases where a - at home does not mean - at the clinic!! So chin up!<br><br>Kat and Kathryn - not much longer to wait now.<br><br>Dawn - how lovely to be feeling sick!! Your good news really helped me stay positive and I really hope my good news will help everyone else. Wow - I never thought I would be here! It really works!!<br><br>Becky - so impressed you got through an interview! I've barely been able to string a sentence together for the last 2 weeks!<br><br>Alison - you sound so good, hope you have a great holiday and that the next time will be your time<br><br><br>Also want to say sorry for being a bit negative down these last couple of days, not very inspiring I'm sure. Hope this good news is a bit more of a boost to all!<br><br>Thanks for all your messages yesterday - they helped me through a nervewracking night!! <br><br>Lots of love to you all<br>Keep thinking positive and ignore those pains and bleedings!!<br><br>Claire x<br><br><br> <br><br> <br><br>
Hi Everyone, you all made me laugh by calling me naughty . I suppose I have been naughty. Am a bit all over the place as AF has not shown up, and yet the test was negative. I did an IVF cycle in October and AF showed up on the expected date . So what to make of all of this really beats me . One day at a time is how I'm taking it.<br><br>As Kat said"Roll on Friday" It can't come soon enough if you ask me.<br><br>Jo, all the most positive vibes for tomorrow<br><br>Will try to be good now : -)<br>Naughty Susi<br><br>
hi,<br>thinking of you today jo for yet another BFP!<br>cant believe how many +tives there have been recently, lets keep them rolling!<br>only 1 more day for us friday testers.<br>keep dreaming I test +tive only to wake up (in my dream still), and its -tive. These last few days have been really hard.<br>dh keeps shouting 'come on PMA PMA'! 'what would the jcb's think!'<br>he is taking me to ikea today for some cheering up!<br>no doubt we will get a few really cheap bargains which will add up to about £70.00! thats what normally happens.<br>anyway, well done claire and all the best jo.<br>lots of love<br>kathryn<br>xxxxxxxx
Thinking of all you testers for today and tomorrow! And Kathryn, your DH is right, lots fo PMA, ignore the dreams.<br><br>Enjoy Ikea, and get some Dime nuggets for me (Mmmmm, scrummy) we never leave there without them!<br><br>Lets have lots more good news!<br><br>D x<br>

Thinking of you girls and wishing you all the luck in the world. I know how hard a negative is and how joyful a positive is. You can deal with either, you know you can, cos you've all got strong partners and families. We're all lucky really.<br><br>Hoping for ++++++'s for you all. Lots of Love, Jo (almost 7 weeks pg and still amazed!)<br>XXXXXXXXXX
