We are Women, Hear us Roar...

[mommyin10]

...in numbers too big to ignore, and I know too much to go back an' pretend,
'cause I've heard it all before, and I've been down there on the floor. No one's ever gonna keep me down again.

Oh, yes, I am wise, but it's wisdom born of pain. Yes, I've paid the price, but look how much I gained.
If I have to, I can do anything.
I am strong (strong)!
I am invincible (invincible)!
I am woman!

You can bend, but never break me 'cause it only serves to make me more determined to achieve my final goal.
And I come back even stronger, not a novice any longer, 'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul.

I am woman, watch me grow. See me standing toe to toe, as I spread my lovin' arms across the land.
But I'm still an embryo, with a long, long way to go, until I make my brother understand.

Oh, yes, I am wise, but it's wisdom born of pain.
Yes, I've paid the price, but look how much I gained.
If I have to, I can face anything.
I am strong (strong)!
I am invincible (invincible)!
I am woman!

Congratulations!!! WHooHoo!!! OMG I'm SOO happy for you!!!!  I hope I can follow in your footsteps!  Good luck and take care of yourself!!!!

[GUESITO]

Bfp, Bfp, Bfp.. Beta 285 Woooo Hooo! Im sooo over the moon right now. Whos next?

[luvkayln]

Thanks for the encouragement, Candie! That'd be nice to get my BFP for Christmas, but i'm not expecting it! I'm certain these injections will do the trick, and maybe we'll get more than one baby! Wouldn't that be an awesome blessing!!! That's awesome that your temps are still high today! I hope af stays away, and YOU get your BFP! What a great holiday treat that would be! ;)

[candie429]

Stacey - Thanks.  I agree, I'd love to see that BFP list grow longer than the 2ww list!  :)

mommyin09 - How are you today?  I assume that the bfn means you tested again this morning?  I am so sorry.  I want you to get good news before Thanksgiving!!

Arlotheslug - Yes, going off arthritis drugs would probably do more harm than good for you.  Good luck at your appt tomorrow.  I really hope those follies look a lot better!  Otherwise, I hope the doctor has some answers for you.  I think you're right, it's definitely important to make sure DH is 100% OK with the donor sperm for all the right reasons before you proceed.  Seems like you guys have had to make too many big decisions lately.  I hope things get easier.  Take care.

luvkayln - Wow, a cyst.  Thank goodness they did the u/s and caught it.  In a way, I agree with the others and think that a non-medicated cycle will do your body good before you move onto the injections.  Clomid had you so screwed up, that should help get it out of your system.  Maybe a low stress cycle will be just what you need to get that BFP for Christmas!  :)  Otherwise, it sounds like the injections should be a sure thing for you.  That's so nice that you're able to get them at a discount.  

kmcarino - I don't have a lot of experience with the progesterone, but the times I got mine checked, it was 13.6 and 10.something and the doctor was happy with both of those post-O levels.  Don't stress, you should be OK.


Well, I usually only make it 10 dpo, which is today.  My temps are sky high, which is keeping me hopeful, but I have been having some cramping.  I may test in the morning.  I'll keep you posted!

Have a great day everyone!

P.S. For those of you that have been here long enough to know Michelle, she has a new post saying that she had a molar pregnancy and is scheduled for a D&C tomorrow.  Just thought I'd let you know in case you want to send her some encouragement.  Such a shame.  :(  

[luvkayln]

Ya know, Mommyin09 brought up a great point to me! Maybe my cramping and spotting was due to me having that cyst!? I bet it was! Were your cycles ever "off" because of your cysts the first time you did your injectable cycle? I never even thought of that!
