Murph01 and Neptune; thankyou both for the welcome. I hope I get to stick around too! )

Poppyfairy: Hello and welcome from a fellow 'newbie to this thread!'. Congrats on your pregnancy, and thankyou for that very eloquent summary! When I was pregnant with DS thats exactly how I felt. bereft of tests and intervention! Crazy arent we .

I hope that I get to stick around here, but today my bleeding seems heavier so I am off to have another blood test. I will hope for the best, but am not confident. it would be cruel to be granted such a short lived miracle, but if this little one is not meant to be either, then I will try to take some comfort from the fact that we have done it naturally....maybe we can again. Thinking sticky thioughts....
