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.

Just a quick update, today is CD2, I go in first thing in the morning for a cyst check and see where to go from there....
Hope everyone is having a good weekend :-D

[jmh2005]

luvkayln- thank you for the well wishes. I am hoping they grow up until then...


mommyin09- i dont know if they are 100% certain on an IUI or not. I am thinking it will give me a better shot but I really hope either way it works. i want a baby so badly but im so scared of another miscarriage but I guess every time around is not the same

Hello, ladies! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  We're getting ready to take Carmelo for his shots (poor pup!), but we'll take him to Petsmart to pick out a toy afterwards & to the park, so it'll be fun ;)

babynr:  Happy belated!!! :)

jmh2005:  I'm glad you had a good appt & your follie is growing nicely for its big day! :)  Will you do iui this cycle or is the u/s just monitoriing for yourself?  Congrats & best wishes!!!

rachjas:  Try not to worry about your #.  I'm surprised that the nurse didn't answer your question, though.  Maybe because you weren't 7dpo, the number is a little bit lower?  I'm not sure, but hang in there!!! :)

luvkayln:  Well, I changed your status to waiting for either, so we'll see! :)  That's so cute that your mom wants to wait & see when your iui will be!  Then you can relax & just enjoy your weekend away :)  That's great you have tomorrow off!

ad_06:  That's good that you met with your RE & that you found out about the cysts.  Trying on your own is probably more relaxing anyway! :)  That's how I felt this cycle.  Good luck to you!

Arlotheslug:  I can totally understand wanting to get a jumpstart on your cycle! :)  It's exciting to think you could have a baby by May!  I agree with luvkayln that I believe you will be chosen & hopefully you will get your BFP too!!!  I have high hopes for you & dh this year :)  I hope he's feeling better.

dnikki:  I agree.  If the pens aren't there on time, they'll still be good for next cycle (if you still need them), so why not try another iui/clomid cycle :)  Good luck!!!

Keyan:  Thanks :)  My temps seem too low for a bfp, so we will see!  I'm not losing hope yet.  I'm just trying to be realistic ;)  I will know soon enough...  I hope your appt goes well on Monday & the lupron shots aren't too difficult.  Have a great weekend!

ad_06- Sorry about the 2 cysts, but at least you are still able to try this month! :) I'm in the same boat. I did Follistim last cycle, and had 2 cysts left over from it so my RE said we had to just try naturally this month. I just want to warn you that you may not ovulate the same day as last cycle b/c of the cysts. They usually delay your ovulation, so don't stress if it takes you a while to get your +ve opk, it's normal. Good luck! :)

Well, I'm off to work.... At least tomorrow I have a day off! Woo hoo! :) Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

[ad_06]

Sorry that I didn't update after my appt with my RE, well atleast I don't think I did....lol Things have just been really hectic around here, never seems like I have time to sit here for more than a minute or so. I am out this cycle, DH and I are just going to OPK, and try on our own. I went to see my RE on the 12th and he said I have 2 cysts, one on the right and one on the left, one was 11.5 and the other was 17. So he told me that we need to just try on our own this cycle. So I am currently on CD 10....I'm going to start OPKs on CD12, since I got a smiley on CD 13 last cycle. He did say that he thinks my eggs releases the same day as my 1st surge, so that is good to know. So we will see what happens this time. I have to go back on CD 3 of my next cycle, and probably Femara and IUI again.

[luvkayln]

Mommyin09- Well.... on CD 3 of this cycle my RE said I will ovulate really, really late b/c of the cysts. At my u/s just a few days ago, my lining was only at 5.4mm and there was only small follies on my left side, absolutely nothing in my right side which is where my cysts were, and there was fluid in the back of my  uterus, from the cysts rupturing. The nurse said it's possible it's an annovulatory cycle b/c my lining was so thin and my follies were still immature. But I'm having O pains today, almost like "gearing" up O pains, so it's possible I'm getting ready to O since my cysts are gone and that my RE was right and it's just going to be a super long cycle b/c of the cysts... It makes sense, but I'm not worried about it. All of a sudden I feel like God is with me, and everything will be ok! Well, my only day off this week is Sunday, and it's the same for next week. I'm still tired, and hoping to go on a little vacation soon to see my aunt in Ohio with my mom. It's cute b/c my mom doesn't want to choose a definate date to leave, just in case we need to do our iui on that date or around that date! :) So we're kind of waiting for AF to show, and then we'll make plans around our RE appointments. My mom's the best! :)

jmh- Congrats on your follies! Yay!! :) Wednesday will be here before you know it!

arlotheslug- Thanks!! :) I'm not sure if we should cheer for AF or for O?! lol Don't really know what's going on with my body, so let's cheer for you instead! ;) I know a miracle will happen for you soon, and any birth mother would be a fool not to pick you! You'll get chosen, and then watch, you'll get 2 miracles and get pregnant too! It's gonna happen, I just know it!!

rachjas- I'm sorry you don't have a definate answer about your ovulation. I will look at your chart!

dnikki- I posted to you on your thread, but I say if the shots aren't here by CD 3, then go with the clomid this next time and if it doesn't work, then go with the gonal-f the cycle after. Is your cyst gone?

mrspace- You couldn't have said it better! God does provide, isn't He amazing! :)
