Hello ladies!
How are you guys doing? My, lots of chatting in the last couple of days!

And Charlie, Nouna, Haylie... I've been looking for your name everywhere in here and still can't find news!

Well, whenever you're ready, you know we're here!
As for me, I'm doing better but yesterday was very difficult. The cold was quite bad yesterday, plus I had a very intense headache that started in the afternoon and lasted all night... quite painful. Quite interestingly though, it went away with my first client of the day, lol! And hasn't come back, yay!
To be honest, this whole "I'll consider myself pregnant until the test and enjoy my pregnancy for two weeks at least" thing is not working anymore. Rationally, I know that if I'm not pregnant, my embryos are no longer alive inside me, so I don't really see the point... you know. It was easier when I knew that my babies were still alive for sure, so during the first week. I still consider myself a PUPO, mind you, in a way. But it's becoming increasingly difficult to "feel" my babies inside at this point. After all, there is no sign that I am pregnant, and no sign that I'm not. Every single symptom I have can mean both. I still have that yellow spotting, but it's the intra-vaginal meds.
And talking about this, I gave myself a whole 24 hours to debate whether or not I wanted to say this, but I've decided to share at least one part of my thoughts. I would really appreciate if you guys refrained from making comments that suggest I'm pregnant. I'm not pointing any finger; as we say here, if the hat fits you... put it on your head. But yesterday, I rather harshly realized that, at best, these comments would keep my hopes up before getting a BFP, and at worst... make me naively believe I'm pregnant, making the BFN blow
so much harder. And the comments I'm talking about also include the "I just feel you'll get a BFP" and the "you so deserve this". Of course, we all hope that the ladies here get BFPs, we all "feel" it, and we also all deserve to become pregnant.
I'm really sorry if I sound harsh or grumpy, this is not my intention, and this is
not my state of mind. I don't want anybody to feel bad, really, I know you said this because you truly care and are sympathetic, and for that I couldn't thank you enough! *hugs* But I also must protect my feelings, and I can't protect them if I don't open up about this. What I need right now is just your presence and support, and your help in hoping for the best
and preparing for the worst. RIght now I just need to struggle to stay in the middle between naiveness and pessimism and it's becoming increasingly difficult.
Thank you so much for your understanding!
Ange: Sweetie, I'm so happy that you got those great numbers! Granted, the wait will be difficult, and I hope with all my heart that the tests will come back the way you want. Hey, you were their poster child, you'll remain their poster child till the end, yeah?

Be sure that I'll turn my thoughts and heart to you at 12:30 tomorrow. Less than 24 hours now darling, hang in there! *hugs*
jemima: hello dear! Nice to hear from you again! Sorry to hear that you have to go through more tests....

I really hope it turns out the way you want darling! Keep us posted!
Aunty Ooooooh! The laundry revenge! Did you pack your pockets with old kleenexes at least?

You're very brave to postpone your test... but I bet someone will succumb to the POAS drive before that!

It will be SO hard to resist! But I'll be right there with you all along and beyond! How are you doing with the wait? I didn't hear much about that... You've been awfully quiet lately... is everything okay?
Shantala Hey little flower! I saw you started a sniffing thread; I'll go read it after I post here. How are you sweetheart? How is your husband? Will he have to stay home for a while or might he recover enough to go back to work eventually? (I mean, before his surgery) Thinking of you girl!
my2: yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! That's amazing news!

You must be over the moon! No matter what you go through, starting another trial is always like a breath of fresh air! I wish you the best with this cycle, from the bottom of my heart!
Okay ladies! Time to go fix dinner! Take care, lots of kisses, and I wish you all a wonderful weekend! I'll work tomorrow from 9 to 5, so that's great, actually! Will keep my mind off the slowness of the passing hours!
