• I just wanted to let you know that your web site has helped me through the most difficult time of my life.  I found your web site through Sidelines, and I have spent "days" reading the stories and gathering information. I no longer feel so alone in my loss. Thank you so much for helping me- through your website. I plan to submit my story, in hopes that it will touch someone else the way others have touched me. With Sincere Appreciation.
   
• I would just like to thank you for making this web site.  When I found your web site, I spent most of my day reading all the stories. It made me feel better to know that I'm not the only one who has gone through this. It also gave me hope for my next pregnancy.
   
• I think I read every single line on your web page today. It was very informative, easy to navigate, and gave me lots of info, and also tears for the stories I read. Thank you for putting it together. I'm sure it wasn't the easiest page to create.
   
• Thank you all for sharing your miracles with me. This site has been a true godsend for me as I search for answers as I deal with the loss of my child due to incompetent cervix. I am learning so much and your stories have given added to my faith reservoir and given me courage to go forward and hopefully conceive and carry to term with a cerclage.
   
• Thank you for setting up and maintaining this website. I've just experienced my second miscarriage. This one was due to I.C. After years of infertility treatment it has been hard losing a healthy fetus (15 wks) because of this problem. The information and success stories on cerclage give me hope that all is not lost. I look forward to learning more to combat this problem. knowledge is power!
   
• Thank you for all this helpful info. I`ve got a new hope. I just lost my second child (last was a girl). Thank you again.
   
• I would love to add your link to my home page... just wanted to make sure it was okay first! One of the reason's I want to add your link is for my referrals. I am a volunteer at Sidelines National Support Network http://www.sidelines.org. I volunteer for the I.C. group. I have had 4 referrals so far and I know they would love to visit your web page for additional info and to read the success stories.
   
• I am a health reporter for the Washington Times in Washington D.C. The story I am working on this week is about pregnancy and bedrest, with a side story on how the Internet has become a valuable tool for those on bedrest -really bringing very scared women together for support and information in a way that really wasn't possible before. I am also an e-mail support buddy for Sidelines, so I will talk about this too, but I wanted to interview you because I think there are a lot of women who have looked at your home page who really depend on your experience and advice.
   
• I love your site! I am so glad that you have spent so much time making this site! I know a lot of "moms" will benefit from it... by knowing that someone else understands. I know I would have really appreciated to have all the information to read when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, unfortunately we were not signed up for an Internet service at that time.
   
• The women who have shared their stories along with yourself have made a difference in my life. Although I can honestly say my husband and I have no plans to have children within this year, we know there is hope where there seemed to be none. Thank you for your website. Please realize it does make a difference in people's lives to know there are women who have gone through this and unfortunately will continue to do so. Once again thank you.
   
• I want to thank you so much for your web site on incompetent cervix. I have been on it several times and have read the success stories over and over. We lost our last pregnancy at 24 weeks due to incompetent cervix and now we are pregnant again. I am about 22 weeks (had a cerclage at 14 weeks).  Hopefully I will have a success story for you to post one of these days.
   
• You are truly are a strong person to have gone through what you have gone through. Hopefully I can get to where you are someday. Your words are very encouraging and I plan to take your advice of seeking out a high risk Dr. for a consultation. Talking with someone who has been through something almost identical to me really helps. Thank you.
   
• I love your site you did the best job on all the facts I could find and trust me I have been looking! Thank you again for sharing your story and all your help finding out facts about ic. 
   
• Hello! and congratulations on developing such a great site! We are all really impressed with it here, and will be adding a link to our site as we work on developing more material on IC for women in Canada. 
   
• Thank you for your diligence in researching incompetent cervix. I have spent about an hour at your site reading all the information. It is really helpful.
   
• Your IC page has given me much solace as I have struggled to understand why I lost my little boy. Thanks for such a remarkable site.
   
• I just wanted to thank you for your very informative website. I was diagnosed with i/c when we lost our daughter at 19 weeks of pregnancy. At that time, I had a really hard time finding info about i/c. It's so helpful to read about other people who have gone through similar situations.
   
• Thank you so much for the upkeep of this page. I lost my daughter at 19 weeks to IC. I had never even heard of this condition as I have none of the risk factors related to it.  I have found a lot of hope on your 'success stories' page. I am grateful to read positive outcomes as I am holding on to the future with both hands.
   
• I was very glad to find your site.  It's good to talk to someone who has gone through a similar experience and can relate.
   
• Your web site has really helped me to have hope for the future and I read the success stories almost daily. I have just now been able to read the lost angles page so I guess I making progress. I hope by this time next year I'm a success story too.
   
• I had to write to thank you for creating such a wonderful web site. Our daughter was born still due to an incompetent cervix. I was 20.5 weeks pregnant and everything had been going fine. I have looked at many web sites trying to gather as much info as I could and I found yours the most helpful.
   
• Thank you for providing this wonderful resource for all of us who have gone through more than imaginable grief.
   
• We are ready to try again in a month or two and this gave me lots of information that I didn't have . . I also thought there would be no problems since I could have the cerclage done again . . gave me more to think about and talk over with my doctor.
   
• Thank-you so much for responding and sending so much wonderful information. I sat up last night and read through a lot of it. It was so helpful and up lifting. Its so hard to find people who Know what you are going through. Your children are precious and I hope to have a successful story to share one day. I just have to keep my faith in GOD and I know it will happen. Once again thank-you!!!!!!
   
• Thanks again for all the wonderful sites and information which has given me so much hope.
   
• I am sorry for your losses. After losing my son and going through a high-risk pregnancy, my husband and I decided not to have any other children. I hope that we will not regret having his surgery - vasectomy. I always imaged having two children. Hoping for a boy and a girl... and in a way I did. I really understood a lot of your feelings and thought in your "story" page.
   
• Tonight I logged on and found your website. What a wonderful idea! I think that your experiences and knowledge of ic will help a lot of women. I applaud your strength and your dedication. I will be reading.
   
• Hello fellow ICer! I am so glad you have dedicated your time to this website. I hope to add a success story at some point. What you endured is amazing, and you are a wonderful role model. Such courage to keep fighting for the family you always wanted. You are the first person that has given me hope. I am 24 weeks tomorrow, and have had funneling down to my stitch since 20 weeks. I have a 2.3 cm cervix below the stitch that is staying closed. I was so happy to read about someone  with a happy ending.
   
• I have never really thought about writing my story, but I can't tell you how much it HELPED. After I wrote it, I was shy about sending it in, but I'm glad I did :) I'm thinking about letting some friends and family read it because most really do not understand what I went through. Thank you for creating an avenue for myself and others to express what we've been through.
   
• You have given me a great deal of hope with my current pregnancy. I have had three losses; two of which were due to incompetent cervix (the last one was in October, 1999). We are ready to be stitched up this time; oh yes, we are having twins this time around...exciting and nerve-racking at the same time). I would love to hear more encouraging words from you (if you don't mind). Your site is wonderful and gives me so much hope. 
   
• Thank you so much for this site. I can't wait to read all you have on it. I really appreciate you giving me hope in the future. It is helping give me the strength to go on and know that we have the chance to have a baby.
   
• Just wanted to thank you for sharing your story and the info on your site. It has been really helpful. We lost our first baby on 9/22/99 and hope to get pregnant again this spring. We are both pretty scared about how the next pregnancy will go - what I will be able to do and not do - I know I will be totally paranoid the whole time. Well thanks again I really appreciate your insight
