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.

Candie - We just missed each other!  Congrats on your +opk!  Woo hoo.  You will have your family one day.  Absolutely.  Look at the BFPs we have had on this thread alone and all of the different issues we all have had.  It will happen for all of us...we just need a little extra time.  And you are absolutely right about the cramps.  I had af cramps and was positive that I would get a BFN.  Cramping can be a very good sign!

Oh ladies!  I'm so sorry Dnikki, Luvkayln and Hannah!  3 afs in one day.  Goodness. Please don't lose hope.  This will happen for all of you in the next few months. The good news is that you guys can now be cycle buddie :)  

Dnikki you have some massaging to do!  As you mentioned it's good to have an extra month to get settled with that.

Luvkayln, this was a really tough cycle for you with some very stressful and emotional times.  Take a month off friend - from the temping and the testing.  Just enjoy yourself, relax and have a month for you.

Hannah - This has started you down the road of more testing and maybe that is what you need.  Try to find out what "numbers" your doctor was referring to.  Was it HCG? or something else?

Mommyin09 - I was happy to see your temps back up! I will be thinking of you tomorrow.  I know it is so hard to wait for those beta results..ugh.  You had a great month and have a good chance.  My thoughts are with you and I will be checking in tomorrow for your updates.  Good luck.  Just remember, you have a great plan regardless.

SSDB to all!

Thank you all for your encouragement.  I ended up getting a +OPK today!  The line probably wasn't as dark as it should've been, but I'm going with it!  :)

mommyin09 - I am so sorry you are having cramps.  I think Stacey said though that her cramps turned out to be a good thing, so it isn't over yet!  I'm really praying that you get good results from your beta tomorrow.  

luvkayln - Ugh, that stinks that AF showed.  Are you OK?  Let us know what the doctor has to say.  Take care.

dnikki - So sorry about AF.  I know you were expecting it though, so at least you can move on now and get another chance to try.

pyar - I know what you mean, in the back of my mind there is always that fear that we won't be able to have a family and I really don't know how we could ever handle that.  I guess all we can do is keep praying and have faith that God will take care of us.

rachjas - That's so exciting that you got a smiley OPK!  :)  I agree with the others, some people do get a few +OPK's, but now that they're getting lighter, you could consider the one from Tuesday as your true positive.  Are you doing BBT too?  That would backup your OPK's and help you to be more certain.

hannah - Wow, it looks like today was a bad day for so many of you.  So sorry about AF.  Hopefully next cycle will end better for you.

mrspace - How are you doing?  Hopefully you are getting some rest.  If you keep feeling really down, you may want to talk to your doctor because the Clomid could really be having a strong effect on your moods.  I'm typically a pretty optimistic, easy-going person, but Clomid really made me miserable to be around.  I would get upset so quickly and just feel like crying all the time.  Take care of yourself.

mommyin09- the belly cast only took all together like 45 minutes to do.  it dries very fast.  by the time you are plastering the bottom on, the top is already dried.  it is just such an akward feeling and i stood the whole time so my feet got very tired and my back hurt.  you can sit down but the way i;m carrying, sitting would not have come out as good.  my fiance loved doing it and he loved decorating it afterwards.

rachjas- Well, I have an appoinment this Saturday, but I'm sure I'll have a ton of cysts left over from the follistim, so we'll probably have to do a medfree cycle. I'm honestly thinking I won't even do bbt this month either, and just have a straight relaxed cycle, but I don't know yet... I'll know more after my appointment, so I'll be sure to let you all know. Congrats on entering your 2ww! :) Mommyin09 is right, it's completely normal to get mulitple +ve opk's. One time I got +ve's all the way till 8 dpo!
