Calling all Women of Strength!!!

[mommyin10]

A Strong Woman VS. A Woman Of Strength


A strong woman works out everyday to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the better of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Good morning & thanks for all the positive comments :)  Just a quick note before I go 'cause I have to leave early, so I will update you all this afternoon.

rachjas:  I have felt the same way when taking progesterone, but mostly with the old kind I used.  It was the kind you keep in the fridge.  Now I'm using endometrin & I love it.  It's so easy & there's less mess.

Keyan:  Best wishes at your post-op today ;)

[Stacey1718]

Good morning ladies,

Hope you all had a great weekend!  I have been in bed since Friday afternoon.  I started spotting again :(  I had stopped for 3 days and then it started again.  This is a bit of a roller coaster ride.  I am really looking forward to my first OBGYN appt tomorrow afternoon and will hopefully get some reassurance and some answers.  My fear is I'll be put on bed rest for another few weeks but if that's what I have to do that is what I have to do.  It's frustrating but I just want everything to be ok.  I feel fine...it's just the continuous spotting that makes me nervous.  It's been 1.5 weeks now.  I'm really hoping she will just say..."You are fine!  Continue on with your life as normal!"    

Mommyin09 - Thinking of you today.  Hope your beta has some nice positive results that I know you probably aren't expecting!  Glad Carmelo did so well!

Candie - Hoping the end of the week brings you some good news too!

Dnikki - Sorry again. At least you know what is going on and you have a good plan.  Good luck with the job hunt!

kmcarino - Sorry about your progesterone results but still hoping you will get your BFP.  I think progesterone can affect your temps but not totally sure.  Hang in there and wait for your beta.  You are still early!

Luvkayln - Hope you are having a great time with all those dogs!  Wow!  Do you remember how long you spotted for after your bleeding episode?  

Arlotheslug - Hope Savanna is doing better and your appt went well!  And wow...May is just around the corner!  So glad you have 2 great options working for you!

Keyan - Hope you are doing well and glad you are thinking about taking a nice vacation...even if it is a few months away!

Mrspace - Hope you are doing well and that you get some good news on your house!

[candie429]

Arlotheslug - How did Savannah's appt go?  I hope she's doing better.  That is so great that the adoption agency continues to keep in touch with you.  I know that one of these days, the right birthmom will come along with a baby that was meant especially for you.  In the meantime, I pray the Clomid works for you and allows you to have your own pregnancy experience as well.  I love your comment about the weathermen.  That is really the only job where you can always be wrong and it's OK!  :)  I woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow and I know they weren't calling for that!    

Keyan - Our weekend was good, how about yours?  Feeling better?  Good luck at your doctor's appt today.  I hope he gives you a lot of great information, and a lot of hope!  :)  I hope the Lupron does the trick.

mommyin09 - Sorry about the BFN, but maybe the beta will show something different.  We're all praying for you.  Either way, I know you'll be OK and it will happen.  I think the exercise is a great idea.  Sounds like Carmello had a great day!  I'm sure he loved all the attention!

dnikki - I'm so sorry to hear that your cyst is still there.  Hopefully the BCP help and you can move onto your injectables soon.  Good luck with the job search.

rachjas - I hate when our bodies play tricks on us.  Why can't they just behave and do what they are supposed to!  :)  I hope you get it all figured out.  I've never used progesterone, but heard they can be yucky.  Hang in there.

kmcarino - I'm sorry you're not hopeful this time and that you're not feeling well.  Take care and don't lose hope!  

... As for me, just hanging out at about 6dpo.  Should know by the end of the week!  Have a good Monday everyone.  :)

Hey everyone:

rachjas: I take the progesterone at night and wear a pad - that way I don't have to feel gross all day, and yeah, it does feel like you pee yourself lol! You mentioned your monitor gave you two peak days - mine does it every month - it's supposed to give you two peak days, back to back, so that's normal :-

mommin09: Thanks for updating me :-) Good luck with your beta today...keeping fx...

leighanne: I'm glad you and baby are doing great! I'll keep checking for more pics :-)

I went in for my u/s this a.m and I am def out this month. The cyst is still there and it didn't even shrink. It's 27x27...so I'm on BCP for a month - yuck! But by the time I am done with those, my Gonal-F pens should be there. I had to take two BCP pills this morning and I am not looking forward to the side effects!!! I already warned DH and apologized in advance - BCP makes me b i t c h y lol.....Not fun for him... But I told him that since I was aware of what it does to me, maybe it won't be so bad!
On another note, I will continue my job hunting today, the more I think I about it, the more I am uncertain if I want to work for that guy. I'm just so used to a medical setting at a hospital or something like that...I will be calling around yet again today.

I will check in later - have a great day everyone!!!

[kmcarino]

Hi everyone.  Do you think that taking prog. suppos. like Crinone keeps the bbt elevated until you stop taking it or would the bbt go down anyway?

[Keyan]

Good Morning and Happy week to all

Rachjas : I am sorry you are not sure about your true O days, I know we all know how that feels...it s u c k s ! ....and sorry too about the progesterone, I haven't used it, but some of the girls here will help you on that, I am sure they have tricks to work with it.

Mommyin09 : I am thinking of you today, hoping for you +BETA!! How is Carmelo feeling after the shots?

Leighanne : Congrats on the 2weeks! Can't wait to see more pics!

Ad_06 : here goes a cheer for your O day to come soon!!! Come on O day!!!

Kmcarino : I am sorry can't help you on the numbers, to my beleive, they aren't bad, but I really don't know. hopefully a BFP will be a great surprise for you.

Luvkayln : I was so happy to read that you feel God is with you, Yes my Friend God is with you at all times! BTW your mom is Great!! Can't wait to see the new pictures with Kayln's Easter basket! Hope you were able to relax and rest yesterday.

Dnikki :  Good luck at the appt today.

Arlotheslug : Hey my friend, I hadn't realize you could be a MOM by May! that's really fast! I will pray for it to happend, I know you and DH will be great parents....and I agree with Luvkayln, there might be 2 miracles in the works. how did the appt go? how are Alice and Savana doing?

Candie : Hope you had a great weekend! talk to you later!
