Calling 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 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.

mrspace:  Sorry about AF ;(

kmcarino:  For you, I'm happy AF showed! :)  Now you can move forward.  Sounds like an exciting month for you & let's hope it's a lucky one for you & dh!

babynr:  So nice to hear from you & it's exciting to hear that you'll soon be transferring 3 little ones.  Best wishes to you & your dh! :)

dnikki:  Sorry about jury duty.  I know things are probably different in our states, but we have the one day/one trial procedure, so that if you don't get picked today, you'd be done for the year.  I'm sure you've already gone, but my suggestion would have been to mention in the jury room your situation & if they just tell you to discuss it with the judge when/if you get assigned, then ask the judge for a "side bar" and speak to him/her privately.  I can't imagine he/she wouldn't be understanding, just with my experience.  Good luck!!!

Candie & Keyan:  I'm holding out all hope for you two!!!  Fingers are tightly crossed ;-)

Lina:  Thanks for updating our list while I was gone! :)

Joyce:  I'm glad to hear everything's going well, especially between you & your baby's dad :)

Stacey:  No, I didn't chicken out!!!  I actually had to stand up at a microphone in front of everyone (which is totally crazy for me) and my question was:  when will I have my first child...  the answer was in 4 years & it will be a boy!!!  So, my first thought was that because I look young, that was a good guess for her.  We shall see & hopefully I prove her wrong!!!  We had a great time :-)

wishandaprayer:  I'll be thinking of you today!  Best of luck to you!!! :)

That's funny your messages keep getting posted multiple times.  I can't explain that one! :)  So, yes, I got my +opk today! :)  I tested first thing in the morning & it was negative, then at 1:30 it was positive.  dh HAS to be at work at 5:00 in the morning & will be super busy all day.  That's true for Tuesday as well. I'm guessing I'll O late Monday afternoon/early evening.  So, because your egg will survive up to 24 hours after O, I'm going to call my RE tomorrow & see what the latest time is that we could go in on Tuesday.  If it doesn't work out, it's totally okay!  We're bd'ing & covering our bases & I just really don't feel like stressing about it or stressing dh.  I know how busy the next two days are for him.  I'll also have tomorrow off to relax! :)  And I'm planning to cancel my other days off.  I'm already off on Thurs anyway.  It's a holiday for us.  That's great that you think you O'd yesterday!  We're gonna be close again this time around ;)  I get nauseous too just before I O & I learned that you get a surge of estrogen before your lh surge & I already know I get nauseous with too much estrogen.  That's how I first pinpointed when I was O'ing :)  I know, we know waaay too much about our bodies, huh!?  Okay, have a great night.  I'll keep you posted!

mrspace:  Best wishes for your HSG tomorrow!!!

Jessie:  How exciting that you may know the sex of your baby tomorrow!  Please keep us posted :)

mommyin09-I bet you get your +ve opk tonight or tomorrow morning! Today is CD 15 and remember last month it did this too, and we thought your "cycle" was broken b/c you hadn't gotten your +ve opk yet, and then you did that night. So I really think it'll be tonight! :) So I honestly think I ovulated last night! :) My left ovary was KILLING me, literally! It was throbbing it hurt so bad, and it only lasted for an hour or so and then it was gone. Today I haven't felt anything on either side, so I think my cysts are gone too! :) Yay!! :) Plus, I started getting watery/slippery cm yesterday, and last night through today it  has been VERY slippery, and I was nauseated today. I always get nauseated when I ovulate for some reason... ( My RE said it's normal and it's the change in hormones that causes it. Interesting fact... ) It's funny how well I know my body these days! :) I'm glad you're feeling so relaxed this time around! It's good not to stress about it, b/c there's nothing we can do about it anyways and if the timing is right, it will happen. Hopefully you can do your iui, but that's cool you'll be ok either way! :) I'll be praying your cycle holds true, and you get your +ve opk tonight and you'll be ovulating in the next day or two! Good luck!!

kmcarino- Great results!! Congrats!! :) This cycle is going so much better for you, that's awesome! I hope it ends in a BFP for you!! Good luck! :)

mrspace- Good luck with your  hsg tomorrow! Let us know how it goes! :)

wishandaprayer- I can only imagine how anxious you are to test right now! Lord knows I wouldn't be able to stand it, especially if the tests are already in my house! I don't want you to test too early and get a false -ve, so just try to hold off for a few more days and then maybe start testing? I'm not sure after an ivf when you should start testing, so I'm  not much help but I do wish you all the best of luck!! :)

dnikki- Yes, the corpus luteum is just the "shell" that holds the egg and when it doesn't collapse so the egg can release, they call it a cyst but it will definately go away this month. The clomid recruts all the follies, and since you had 2 this time, but only 1 released, it's just there waiting to rupture and it probably will soon since it was so big at your u/s.This was my second cycle with a cyst, but they're always gone when af arrives and I have my baseline u/s, so that's good! :)
