Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 I truly understand when a person is thrilled to find a name or answers whrn they have been ill. I was lucky as I was diagnosed immediately , my three daughters were not so lucky and went through months of testing before getting the answer. Where are you moving to in Canada ?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 Keepin my fingers crossed for ya Joy! AF was supposed to start yesterday and I got up at 3am to go potty (which was strange so I decided to take a HPT) and it was a VERY FAINT +.. I'm going for a blood test today to see if it really is or if my mind is imagining it! BTW Feeling VERY hormonal called my good friend who's been rooting us on and she basically blew me off so I've been crying for a half hour wondering how she can be SO selfabsorbed and make me feel like that!!
