Hi all, I've just been catching up on events over the weekend. Kat and Rick, so sorry about your negative result. I really feel for you. Take the time you need to come to terms with all this and comfort each other. It's hard to think now, but you'll get there in the end, and in the meantime be kind to yourselves. Kathryn, poor you, what an awful confusing time. I do hope you're alright - you must have been through so many mixed emotions. Thinkng of you and hoping you're taking good care of yourself and your DH (he sounds great by the way). Susi and Nicola - yay!! Well done girls, thrilled to bits for you. Nicola, I never actually saw a message from you saying it was positive - I guess the board has been playing up - or perhaps I'm just overlooking something. Anyway, yippee and relax and enjoy both of you! Dolly - it's not over until it's over! Stay strong and remember the chain of events for so many other cyclers with bleeding. I don't want to be stupidly optimistic . . . but it's not so long ago that I was writing that before Dawn tested and look how that turned out! Sending you positive vibes until Thurs - it's just us left to test now - gulp! Today is the last day I can access the site for a while - I'm working from home tomorrow and don't have Internet access - argh! But I'll definitely try to find access to the web in France and keep up with how you're all doing. I want to thank you all for being so supportive - it's been so brilliant to know other people can relate to the whole experience. Congrats again to all the +++s, and lots of love to everyone - we'll all get there eventually. Beck xx

Dear Dolly Please don't give up yet - so many times people have bled and have had bad AF pains and have tested positive. Just looked at my info from the clinic and it says bleeding "ranges from brownish discharge to heavy bleeding" and this doesn't mean it hasn't worked, so just hold on a few more days. I know how awful it is to have to wait when you're so worried. Dear Becky - all the very very VERY BEST for Wednesday - you're just going to have to find an internet cafe in France and let us know!! Is this a well deserved holiday?? Sending you both loads of positive vibes and everything is crossed already!! Lots of love to you both Claire x

Hi everyone, Kathryn, Just wondered how you are today? Kat, I just read your message on the last board - I really hope you find your cat. I am still feeling pretty miserable - hopefully I will snap out of it soon! Hope everyone's enjoying the weather - I just wish everyone on TV would stop going on about it (I'm only jealous because I have to work!). Hopefully it will stay for the next couple of weeks because I am off to Devon next Thursday. Love Dolly

Hello girls, Just checking in before I go to bed.......... Sorry you're still not feeling great Dolly, the last 2 days before my test were my lowest, I felt pretty down too. You're nearly there though, just hold on to your PMA! I guess the boards are quieter this week, but you probably still need lots of attention and good vibes sending your way so here are loads......POSITIVE VIBES!!! POSITIVE VIBES!!! POSITIVE VIBES!!! Kat, hope your cat has turned up. I think they go a bit funny in this heat and find somewhere really cool to rest awhile. My boss's cat (an expensive pedigree so he was really worried, thinking she'd been catnapped) went missing for 2 weeks last month in the hot spell. He'd given up hope then she reappeared , not a scratch on her. Kathryn, how are you today?? Hope you're OK. How's the sickness Dawn?? I hear ginger nuts are very good!! When's your scan? I think it must be coming up soon?? My clinic doesn't do them until 3 weeks in, so mine isn't until 2 weeks today. Another long wait! Love to you all out there Claire x

Hi all, hope everyone is OK, am keeping my eye on you lot, even though I thought I wouldn't want to come back to the site for a bit I can't help it! Our cat turned up last night after being missing since Saturday, Rick had been out most of the day looking for her, expecting the worst, and then she just appeared when I got home. The thought of losing her just about finished the two of us off after our negative, we cried and cried last night both of us but I think maybe that got it all out, every last bit, and now we can move on. I have an appt at the end of Aug to talk about the next cycle so I'll be starting again as soon as they'll let me. Take care everyone, keeping everything crossed for everyone still waiting for results Lots of love Kat xxx

Hello everyone Sorry I haven't been posting much, but back at work now and really busy, and quite difficult to get on the site, but I AM still thinking of all you testers, and like Claire am sending lots and lots of +++++++++++'s down the line to you, Dolly, only one day to go, are you buckling and going to test early?? Kat, so glad to hear your cat turned up, they are a nightmare when they go missing aren't they. That is by far the worse thing about pets, you get so attached to them and they are so much part of the family that when something happens it is devastating. We've got a totally black cat (rescued at 18 months) from the CPL, and he is gorgeous but have real attitude, very entertaining. If I wake in the night and he is not by my feet I panic, we try and lock his catflap at night because of the evil foxes and badgers! Sickness is progressing nicely thanks Claire, not actually been sick, but boy it's weird! (but good!). Got a real craving for apples at the mo, had 4 yesterday, beats chocolate I suppose, can't bear to think about eating it, and that is NOT like me at all! Scan next Tuesday, so less than a week now to see the heartbeat(s) - really excited about it at the moment, and not nervous at all, DH is the same! Lots of love to you all, still can't post on the `other side', have to keep coming back and checking on you lot!! Take care D x

Hi there, I am still going to test tomorrow - but the bleeding hasn't stopped since Sunday - so I pretty much figure that is all the evidence I need to confirm it hasn't worked. I have been pretty down since Sunday - but I finally got a good nights sleep and feel much better today. We are going to try naturally for the next couple of months - and then jump back on the rollercoaster as soon as they will let me. I have been thinking of Becky this morning and sending her all the positive vibes I can... I hope she finds an internet cafe soon! Love to everyone Dolly

Susi · Post by **Susi** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 2:19 pm

Hi everyone, Have not posted since DH has been really ill with a summmer flu and I am trying to pack up the house for the move next week. Kat, so glad your cat turned up. You sound so much better and I am glad that you feel you have moved on . Time really does heal. Dolly so sorry to hear about the bleeding, I would still test as you never know ( Dawn being the perfect example) I am not feeling any different other than AF like cramps at different times of the day... No sickness which is good, just a hyper sensitive nose for smells like fried food n prawns. They really disgust me at the moment. Hope to goodness that I am one of the lucky non-sick people... Scan booked for the 14th and then we shall see. I think only after that will I think this is for real! Lol to all Susi

Hi there too, Been keeping a bit of a low profile too so busy at work, and too scared to go the 'other side'. I haven't been feeling anything apart from sore boobs really .. making me feel like it's not really there... Can't win! My weight dropped a bit (to 7st8), putting it down to nerves as I just don't feel like eating, so today I did really well and made sure I had a good breakfast, and lots of grazing throughout the day. The last thing I need is losing weight and then feeling sick - what hope is there. Kathryn, hope you're OK - hoping so much that everything will turn out OK for you. Good luck Dolly, it's not over yet, you just never know what might happen, that's what makes the 2ww so torturous. Well, like you Claire, my clinic don't scan until 3 weeks, so mine will be on the 22nd. So just got to keep plodding on and try not to worry too much, but how hard is that. Good luck Dawn, my God, only next Tuesday! Lucky thing. By the way, I thought I'd be walking around with a stupid grin on my face all the time since getting the result, but I haven't. It's true what others have said, it's just yet another set of waiting games to worry over. God, 'normal' people just don't know how lucky they are..... All the best to everyone Nicola x

hi gang, kat, glad your cat is safe, the last thing you needed was another worry. pets are so much one of the family! Im glad you and rick are thinking ahead and wanting to give it another go. I hope you are ok. maybe we will be buddies again! dolly, thinking of you for tomorrow. Im sorry for the fact youre bleeding. Its such a worry but we just dont know until we test. In my notes it tells me to test even if you are having what you feel to be a period. I just hope its good news for you tomorrow. Becky, wherever you are, I hope your holiday was made all the better today! I hope youre ok. As for you other side girls! Enjoy your sickness and your ultra smelly noses!! dh and I have been to the beach today with my mum and step dad. we are both really brown! Dont know if anyones heard of walberswick in suffolk, its our favourite beach haunt. Its beautiful and totally unspoilt with sand dunes everywhere. tiny little village with only 4 little pretty shops. Im doing ok. still bleeding. did a dawn! and bought a baby name book yesterday in hoping it would do the trick like it did for dawn! As dawn said....youre gonna need it one day! Im still going for my scan next thursday a) because clinic want me and b) I want to ask as many questions as possible without waiting 6 weeks to see the consultant. Theres a teeny weeny part of me that likes to think there could be a miracle, but in my heart I just know. thinking of you dolly for tomorrow lots of love kathryn x

Kathryn and Dolly Thinking of you both today, let's hope your dreams do come true! Wishing everyone else all things good too! Lots of Love D x

Dolly · Post by **Dolly** » Thu Aug 07, 2003 8:12 am

Hi There Well I tested this morning (wasn't going to but decided to do as I was told!) - and as I expected it was negative. I feel much, much better today (it helps that the raging tummy ache has gone) and am about to ring the hospital to book our follow-up appointment. We are going to try naturally for the next couple of months (I've had 2 natural pregnancies in the last 9 months - so there is hope!)- and then have another go as soon as we are allowed to. Thanks for all your support... Love Dolly

kathryn · Post by **kathryn** » Thu Aug 07, 2003 8:26 am

Oh dolly, Im so sorry. I still think no matter how prepared you are for a negative, it still knocks you and you need time to grieve for your little loss. however you sound very strong dolly and looking to the future. Im glad youre raging tummy ache has gone! you say youre going to try naturally for a couple of months. This will be a good time for it as youre more fertile than usual because of the drugs still floating in your body! I take it though that your last 2 pg ended in m/c. Do they know why? youve been through alot dolly and I wish you and everyone that their little baby dreams come true very soon. Thinking of you and we are all here if you need to chat or cry. take care dolly and your dh, lots of love kathryn x
