    Hello guys

    Thanks for all your wishes EVERYBODY !!! All is ok - phew. After 3 hours waiting for various tests and chats with doctors i finally had my scan and there was a little blur on the screen with this little ticker pumping away - i just balled my eyes out. All the doctors knew what i was going thru (as you have to tell them your history) and i was expecting the worst scenario (i even didn't eat or drink today thinking i would need a D&C) but it has given me some confidence to see that little heart beating. The doc said all looked perfect (ovaries, sac, heartbeat, bloods - everything !) They could even see the "cyst" that the embryo burst out from as they put it (mind you i panicked when they said cyst). So far then that is positive news. Thanks for all your support and well wishes - truly appreciated....but a long way to go just yet. Also they said i am not as far as i thought (7w instead of 7+4)- but that it is still early to tell what dates they are set at yet.....

    Flowerchild - sorry to hear about your BFN this morning but it is still not too late and you of all people know that. I pray for you (i don't really pray in the religious sense but you know what i mean)

    Spring - congrats on lil spring - that is excellent news !!!

    Bailey - hope you are having a better day (those **** ones have really been hitting lately haven't they). Did you go to playgroup or did the monsoon keep you at home ?

    Mel - what a kind gesture of that lady (stranger). It is heartbreaking that someone so distant can do that for you and yet those close do nothing. I know i have tried to get in contact with a couple that have lost a baby recently in my area - would love to help out and send a card but i don't know their exact address and i am scared to impose (i would be the total stranger). But it just shows that i don't think it hurts to do something like that.

    Klee - it is strange about your friend - perhaps it is guilt and her emotions/feelings i guess are only natural - we can't change the way we feel. You are also brave being there for her (and i guess hearing all her baby stories - very hard).

    Jo - hope you are coping with the kids at home - do they go back this week ??? Should give you some peace soon.

    Chelle - what you are feeling is normal - don't want to get your hopes up and looking for signs of blood all the time. I know exactly (i think most of us do) what that is like. With all that babydust you have sent how can it not stick !!!

    Anyway must go and attend to a grumpy husband - ergh !
