Women of Strength!!!
A Strong Woman VS. A Woman Of Strength
A strong woman works out every day 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.

For those who missed the wonderful news, I'm posting dnikki's message from Sunday morning:
Happy Sunday gals :-) I hope everyone is having a good weekend. My SIL cam up from SC yesterday so it's really nice to see her - DS is just loving her lol!! We are going to my MIL's today for a bit. DS is still doing well with potty training but once he's engrossed in something he doesn't let you know when he's gotta go. But at least he still goes when prompted! I was nauseated a bit last night - had one of my sour suckers (for some reason they make it go away for a bit) but it came back right before bed last night. So this morning my dogs wake me up..I decide I'm going to POAS even though I'm only 10DPIUI. I layed in bed with it on my nightstand staring at it literally keeping my fingers crossed and praying for alittle nudger in there...HOLY ****! My digi says "pregnant"!!!!! SO now I'm hoping it really is right and that I didn't pee on it for too long or something silly like that lol!! DH doesn't even know b/c he's at drill! SO between now and later I will have to think of a cute way to tell him. I think I might also try to get in for a beta tomorrow morning. Do you all think this is it?? Mommyin10 - if you make a new thread could you copy and paste this in there?? Thanks ladies!!!!
Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

Also, I posted on our old thread that Keyan is in the hospital. She's okay, but will be hospitalized for a few more days because her WBC was too high. Please keep her in your thoughts & prayers! ;)

rachjas: How exciting! Your ER is so soon, I can't believe it!!! =) Will you go in quite a bit for bloodwork between now & then? That's good to hear that you're also doing ICSI. Do you know how many embies you'll transfer? Wow, just a little over a week away =) I'll update your stats tomorrow.
looloo: I'll add you to our list tomorrow if you'd like. I can't see your chart, so I'm not sure what to make of it. I tend to agree with Keyan on the number, but so long as AF hasn't shown, I think that's a good sign ;)

thanx everyone for the welcome! :) really appreciated.
dnikki: you really seemed to have beaten the odds. i can imagine how much you fought with it all. how inspiring!
glad to hear ur numbers r great. all the best for the u/s!
mommyin10: thanx for the kind words. and the tips. i'll definately look into fertility blend. all the best on ur IVF. really hope it works out!
rachjas thanx for the welcome
keyan: thanx :) and when you mentioned "mine usually are <2" did u mean always?
well, i'm 14dpo, AF hasn't visited and bbt hasn't dropped. and my BBT chart has gone mad. i mean, my charts usually always show a triphasic pattern. but this time, there seems to be ANOTHER fourth phase. (?!?!) the first rise was on 1 June, that corresponds to O. 2nd is on 7 June which usually happens. 3rd is 13 June and it's staying steady at that temp.
i know i'm grabing at straws... :) thanx again to all of u. and all the best!

Hey!! I just got back from my appt...I got my 4th Lupron shot...now just 2 more...YAY!!
Looloo: Welcome!!! about your beta test, I think anything below 5 is negative, but mine usually are: <2, but either way...it is not over until AF shows...hopefully she won't show. keep us updated.
Mommyin10: Monday is just one day away...will you go with dh? is good he won't be working on what ever cause him to have a low count, tell him to eat healthier and just take it easy this next few weeks!!
Dnikki: Great numbers.....Yes, that's probably what ds is trying to do, just testing to see what happens..good luck...does he knows about your pregnancy..when will you start telling the good news?
Candie: Yes, NO pain at all during the exam...that was good news!! I am sorry about your insurance problems, I know how much you want to work with this new doctor, but you still have options...remember my story, I wanted to have my lap done with my old obgyn, and he was the one, to my surprise and sadness, that referal me to this new GYN, and you know how great it has been, I am "in love" with my new doc, he is just so great and sweet with me, that I am actually happy I got to meet him...so just think, that if you do need to go to the endo specialist, it will work out, you will see, trust GOD, he is working in your favor!!
I hope you all have a great weekend...I go back to work on Monday, so I am trying to enjoy my last resting day.

dnikki: Awesome numbers!!! =) How exciting & your u/s is not too far off! I'm so, so happy for you guys!
looloo: You are definitely welcome to join us! =) I've been on medhelp for almost 2 years & with most of these ladies for just about that length of time. They are the most supportive & wonderful women & will be able to give you strength to get through this ttc journey ;) Everyone has a different story & experiences, which means there's usually someone who has some input when you have questions ;)
That's great that your follicular scan now shows no signs of PCOS! It's exciting to know you've made progress ;) As far as DH, mine takes Fertility Blend every day, which you can purchase online at earlypregnancytests.com. That might help a bit? We're going through our first IVF & just found out this week that his count wasn't too good, so we'll add ICSI to the mix, which just means they'll actually insert his best swimmer into my egg to help with fertilization before transfer. Anyway, welcome & best wishes to you & dh!
Guesito: How are you doing? Have you looked into finding a new RE?
Luvkayln: Do you finally get some time off work?! I can't believe you've been working such long days...

Looloo: Welcome!!! You are absolutely right about our support system here :-) I've been on this for 2 years now! All of the ladies are wonderful and we have also been through so much...I have PCOS and endo, hubby also has a low count. We've done soooo many cycles of clomid and one cycle of injects. I did a natural cycle this month as my left ovary was very enlarged form the injects, and we also did IUI. Well, I'm now p/g!!!! DH's count was low at 7 mill before washing and then somehow it went up? after washing to 15 million. But I don't care! We finally finally got p/g! Just keep thinking +ive thoughts, and sometimes it really just take only one swimmer and a bit of luck :-)
Well gals, RE's office called - 560!!!! I don't have to go in anymore for beta's - which I'm kida bummed about lol...but my U/S is on June 24 at 8a.m WOO-HOOOO!!!
