Dearest Ladies (and gents) this will probably be my last post for a while, but I will continue to keenly follow the journeys of the many friends on here, who I will probably never meet, but who have been absolute pillars of kindness, support and encouragement!
This forum is truly unique...I haven't come across another one where everyone has so much time and compassion for each other! It is massively life-affirming and a huge positive in a world sometimes very devoid of any understanding, generosity and hope. You have been complete and utter stars and I cannot thank you enough for that xx
Had my dating scan yesterday and although we have still got some way to go, the utter delight at seeing our squidget has fixed our focus firmly on the future. The sonographer had to 'bop' my stomach to get baby to wake up...we both giggled so hard at that!
This is a tedious, hard journey but if anyone can walk it, it is the powerful and strong women on here. Never doubt yourselves, you have got this! I wish you positivity, joy and dreams come true, whatever stage you are at xxx

Ahhhh Im so pleased to see your post! I had been thinking about you and knew it must have been time for your next scan. Chuffed to bits that you are both getting on so well! I agree this forum is amazing and I dont know what I would do without everyone too! All the very besy, maybe pop back sometime with an update?! Take care xx
Thanks so much and all the best with your up-coming treatment abroad. I will have everything crossed for you xx
Beautiful picture 😘 I'm so happy your scan went well must be a relief to hit the "safe point" (tho the worry probably never stops!) Wishing you the best with the rest of your pregnancy and birth. You've been a pillar of support to many on this site ( including myself). I love the sentiments expressed. You enjoy every moment 😍 xoxo
Hi CountryCat. All looks good to me, and well done! Just wanted to wish you well with the rest of your pregnancy and birth. If I can help with my old midwifery hat on at all, just get in touch. Diane
You may regret your offer...I have SO many questions!! But for the moment, one day at a time! Thanks Diane. As I have said before, you are a very reassuring presence on here xx
A brilliant picture! So pleased all still going ok. Such a lovely post & couldn't agree more - this forum is a safe haven & sanctuary for anyone on this journey - I feel very lucky to have found it.
Thanks. I think the path we're currently on is feeling clearer and less bendy for the moment which I am pleased about. In terms of the path we take after that, we're unsure but we know we'll walk it together and that's all that matters. x
I think so- thank you for asking. ❤️am both excited and scared about going again!! On the waiting game again for our next appointment and for my two natural periods!! Xx
Hunny I just wanted to say congratulations and good luck for the rest of your pregnancy. I did just have a feeling of oh I would have been 13 weeks to! But it doesn't matter because I will keep trying. Best of luck xxxxxx
You and your cat posts made me laugh harder than I have in ages! You have a wonderful sense of humour, hope you never lose it. Will be waiting to see news of your own baby soon xxx
Aw congratulations hun!! I can't wait to get to this stage now...time needs to hurry up! Hope you have a smooth and healthy 2nd and 3rd trimester 😘 xxx
Oh dearest Country Cat - such wonderful news, CONGRATULATIONS, this post made me extremely happy and also emotional, had a little happy cry. I'd forgotten it was your scan today, as have a terrible period - so this was such a wonderful surprise.
It is such a wonderful wonderful gift to get to this point of reassurance in pregnancy, for all pregnant ladies but even more so for us IVF ladies.
Your words and sentiments are so so kind, and so true. You have also been a great support to so many on here. I know I couldn't go through IVF again without the support and friends I made on here a few years ago - you summed it up perfectly. The understanding we have for each other is incomparable.
Enjoy every moment and enjoy each new day as it comes.
We are still all here for you and would love if you stayed in touch. I'm here if you have any pregnancy questions. I have just about every symptom going, so i learned a few tricks
With all our love for a happy and healthy pregnancy. That really is a beautiful clear scan picture of your baby. xxxxxxxx
Oh CountryCat, I am so thrilled to see such a beautiful scan picture from you. All the very best with your pregnancy and I hope to see a photo of a real little baby on here if you have time to post back when he/she arrives! Xxx
SO lovely...Congratulations! And what you said about this forum and community is so true. I have only been here since March but I know a lot of you ladies have been here a lot longer and it has been such a great help to me through both my cycles. Everyone is so lovely and understanding. I felt so alone before i found this site. xxx
What a lovely post! So pleased for you. You've been so supportive to us all too and I wish you all the very best for the rest of your pregnancy. So exciting (though still scary I'm sure). Let us know how you get on as you go along. Thanks for sharing your lovely news and giving us all hope xx
What a lovely post! Wishing you all the very best with the next part of your journey. You're so right, the ladies on here are incredible! Thank you for the support you have given me. Take really good care of yourself and your precious cargo! Xx
Good luck country cat - your post brought a lump to my throat! Such a lovely picture and beautiful words. I know what you mean about this forum - I wish I'd discovered it sooner. Wishing you and your little family all the best for the future. Xx
