Caroline. wanted to pop in and see how you are, keep brave sweetie. It's not over til the fat lady sings, so do test wont you, even if it's just a confirmation.
It took me a full week for things to sink in after our loss, at the hospital I was resigned and "horribly calm", I guess I just now slowly start to get back on track, nearly 1 month later. Letting the feelings out has been hard as they have shocked me, the good news is through this board we know they are normla which helps letting go.
give dh a big hug
Caro, we are all here for you

Hi Caroline, I think you are right in saying that the vague hope associated with minor bleeding is far more stressful than knowing that it has not worked when AF really shows up. I felt the same and was semi-grateful for the relief that AF provided. I am glad you are feeling ok and I hope that focussing on your next treatment will take away some of the disappointment.
Best wishes

No miracles to report this morning I'm afraid. I had a lovely really vivid dream that I tested and it was positive. I could see that blue cross shining out at me. And then I woke up and did the test for real and of course it was negative.
At the moment, I think I'm at the stage Big J described as "horribly calm" but I don't think that's going to last. I had taken the precaution of booking an appointment with my counsellor for today - even if it was positive I think I would have needed to talk it through with someone as it would have been such a shock! So I've got somewhere to take it.
And to be honest, Big J, I think your loss was worse. Hard though this is, I think for me this is less painful than thinking you've got there and having it taken away.
Thanks once again for all the support. I don't know how I would have done it without you.
love Caroline

2005 June/July 2nd IVF - negative
2005 Nov FET - postponed cos my Mum died
2006 - Feb FET planned, but neither frostie survived the thaw.
I am so sorry and you are being so brave. I know you are caught between heatbreak and relief to have tested and it's just awful. I think the grief will come soon and you should just let it all out!
Take care and spoil yourself
Lots of love to you

Dear Caroline - have been watching out for you and was really sorry to see your news. Sorry too to Michelle, Lumi and others who have had negatives and low positives. Glad to hear you feeling OK for now, but do take care of yourself and don't be surprised if the disappointment hits later. I've been surprisingly down the last few days having got my first proper AF since my negative. AF was late, and despite the fact that I can't conceive naturally I started to wonder whether the embie from my low +ve had somehow hung on in there! It was all a bit daft, but our minds and bodies play trciks on us. Anyway, look after yourself and stay strong - I know you will. Love
