We are all Women of Strength!

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 realiizes 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.

Hi girls ~ I'm on a hiatis for a cycle while TTC, due to my RE's office being on break for the Christmas/New Year season.  I didn't make the break-off so instead of changing my cycle to IUI (another after 12++..??..don't think I'll waste the $$).  So I decided yesterday @US/BW appt to just take a break and then start again on day 2 of my next cycle.  Tra was booted off again for a long time and since they weren't taking new adds for a couple of weeks, I was interested in the site and the support you girls offer eachother.  Tra's Beta came back negative.  She will be starting another cycle.

HOPING for a BFP for all.

Hi guys looks like i'm out this month started spotting last night hoping it could be implantation but deep down inside i know its af feeling rubish don't know where to go from here good everyone god bless

[mrspace24]

Actually, my DH is a USMC Veteran.  We're not covered by military insurance.  It's awful.  Ha!  We're not even covered by veteran insurance.  We had to pay for my hubby's hearing aides since he lost some of his hearing in Iraq.  Don't get me wrong, I love the military....but it's a serious love/hate relationship at times.  I'm so thankful to have my hubby home.

[mommyin10]

jmh2005:  Oh, I'm so sorry!  I know how disappointing it is when things don't work out right.  Hopefully the Femara will help get this straight.  Hang in there!!!

ad_06:  I'm sorry for all you've gone through!  I'm sure it will be difficult to have to pay for your RE up front, so best wishes to you this month :)  

Shysana:  Feel better!  I've had a cold since last week & I'm getting closer to O.  It doesn't make it easy to be "in the mood" ;-)  Take care!

Guesito:  Great news!  I'm so happy for you & dh !!! :) I'm sure you're ecstatic to have seen the sac :)

Mamatina:  Good for you!  I'm so glad your body's getting back on track.  It's been a long road for you!

Candie:  I will change your status on our next thread :)  Are you using opks yet?

I'm going to be starting a new thread in a moment.  It's going to be a continuation of this one.  The title seems too fitting to change it :)  

[blessedmomof3]

Oh Hun,
I know that feeling. I'm so sorry you are so sick. And then to feel as though you can't take anything, just in case. It's jsut awful.

I hope you feel better soon.

[ShySana]

7dpo and i am home sick.  I think i caught the cold an i feel so tired and stuffed all i have done is sleep.  I ate a lil today an felt nauseous right after not sure if its cause i am sick or cause its a sympton.  Plus i am scared to take any meds just in case i am pregnant.   Think i will just curl up on the bed an try to take my mind off of it.  

[cminamyer]

I've checked on this post from time to time, I love when you guys get BFP it makes me so happy for all you.  But I just read that your DH was in iraq, is he still in the military?  If he is some of the bigger military hospitals do help with fertility treatments.  A lot of the meds are free and IUI only costs about $25 a round... Most military don't know about this.  Also they do IVF at a very low rate... If he's still in you should check into it.

Good luck to you all, I love hearing about the BFP!!!  So SSBD to you all and keep them comming!

[blessedmomof3]

I am so happy for you!!!!! I knew everything would be fine. Keep growing that little bean!!!!

[wishandaprayer]

This is great news!! One is great-you are soooo lucky

[MamaTina89]

Hello ladies!! I bet you all thought I had dropped off the face of the earth huh!!! LOL No, I am doing fine. I think my system is FINALLY trying to get back to normal since going back on B/C, cause AF showed a lil while ago and all the years I took b/c I ALWAYS started on Tuesday and today is Tuesday!! So, last month it started on Thursday so hopefully it will stay normal. I am gonna stay on them til late spring-early summer and try it again. I miss you guys and an SO jealous of all the BFP's now!! SSBD to ALL!!! Talk to ya'll soon!! ;)

jus having a comment back means the world to me xx

[GUESITO]

Saw one sac today and baby.... Dr. said too early for heartbeat but everything looked good! yey.. My husband said only 1??? LOL Dr said still too early and embryos do split sometimes... Never know!!!Im just as happy!

[mrspace24]

candie429-  As you can probably all tell by my fast responses, I'm pretty bored today.  Thanks so much for your help.  I can't even begin to tell you all how much this site (and this thread) have helped me so far.  We are only on day 1 of clomid.  I'm ready for it to be Christmas so then I'll be in the tww by then!  I just hope we have great news for new years.

Just out of curiousity.  Has anyone here ever felt like just screaming at their DH through all of this.  DON'T get me wrong!  I LOVE my DH.  He is amazing and wonderful. But the last few days he's just been getting on my nerves!  We were discussing baby names.  He picked the boys names.  I had NO say.  They are important to him and I understand that I'm okay with that.  But now, I picked the girls names and he has decided to fight me on it.  He doesn't like them and now he wants to pick the girls names too!  I'm the one who went through the miscarriages alone because he was fighting for our country.  I'm the one who's gone to doctor after doctor.  And who's having to do all this charting and remembering and pill taking.  I'm the one struggling with all the mood swings and emotional chaos.  And I'll be the one carrying the baby for 9 months and giving birth to it.  Is it so much to ask to name it?  Ugh.  
Sorry.  I love my dh very very very much. I think it's just my mood swings talking.  

Sorry about that everyone.

[candie429]

mommyin09 - That's so nice that dh can give his sample at home.  This is one of those times where it would be so nice if we could pick our O date!  :)  Actually, I'm cd11 today, but that's OK.  It will all change once we get past O.

mrspace - That is so awful about your old doctor.  I really hope Clomid works for you.  I agree with luvkayln, Clomid can make you O later than usual.  I didn't O until cd16.  My first cycle on it, I kept expecting to see the +OPK and it wasn't happening when the doctor said it should and I was so scared.  Since you're not sure how your body will respond, maybe start the BD a few days after you take your last pill and then BD at least every other day until you get your +OPK and then BD that day and the next 2.  That should cover your bases.

jmh2005 - So sorry about your follies.  I hope they pick the right side next time.  I know how discouraged you probably are, but don't give up.  

Hannah - I'm glad to hear your new job is going well.  Hope it keeps your mind of the tww and you get your BFP soon!

LinaG - That's great news that your kidneys are OK.  Hope your urine test comes back good too.  Thanks for sharing your inspiring story, that shows us all that there is hope.

ad_06 - I hope this cycle of relaxation will help you get your BFP!  We've been ttc for 2 1/2 years and the doctors can't find anything wrong with us, so I know how frustrating it can get.  We're also holding out hope that we won't have to see and RE, so here's to us both getting lucky on our own!

[mrspace24]

ad_06-   Good luck, girl. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you!!  I just started clomid and I'm hoping that this is my month.  I'm ready for the tww!!

[ad_06]

When I took clomid CDs 5-9, it delayed O til about CDs 19-21. I usually O between CDs 14-16.
I am just hoping that after having this D&C done, that I will get a BFP this month! I thought for sure that I had Endo, because every female on my mom sides has it. That is why this Dr did a Lap. Thankfully I didn't have it, but now it's kind of like, what in the heck is going on?
  I would rather get a BFP this cycle then wait til Jan for the RE. I know how much stress is going to come along with going to an RE. My insurance will only pay for the first visit, then I have to pay for everything up front after my 1st visit. I guess we will just see what is going to go on between now and then :)
I'm trying not to think about it very much this cycle. I haven't even did my temps, just hoping that if I'm not all on track with OPKs and temp maybe my body will just be relaxed enough...Fingers Crossed!! lol

[jmh2005]

No follies this time on the right, they must have all grown on the right =(. Really not in a good mood now. I guess we start femera again to try to get ovulation on the right side next time...lets hope

[hannah1505]

if i get preg this month they will say se i told you if you take your mind of it lol

im nervous now but exited xxx

WOW carnt get over that lol
xx

[mommyin10]

Hey there :) Yes, a slow day at work, but I jeep getting kicked offline! (I'm using my phone). That's why there's a delay in my response. Yes, we live very close to our RE. I think it's about 8 miles & we've gotten there in 10 min :) How's your day going? Are you home?

[wishandaprayer]

Are you 6dpo? How are you feeling? Does that mean you o'd on Thursday?

[mommyin10]

I agree with Luvkayln. For me, I also get nauseous a few days before my lh surge & that tells me it's coming :) Your estrogen surges just before your lh. It's amazing what we learn when we're ttc! :)

[luvkayln]

hannah & wishandaprayer- Welcome to the 2ww! :) Hannah- congrats on your new job! It makes a huge difference when you enjoy it! :)

Gueito- Still waiting.....  :)

[wishandaprayer]

Hello ladies!

I am back from a whirlwind Thanksgiving/Wedding weekend! Hope everyone is doing well-I am going to catch up on the last week I have missed.

I did my Ovidrel shot on Friday night, so I guess I am now 5dpo? Since I did not use follistim this month b/c of a cyst, I am having NO side effects like I did last month-whew! Now just hanging out in the dreaded 2ww.

Blood test scheduled for 12/15
