Calling All Women of Strength!!!

[mommyin10]

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.

Luvkayln: I am sorry! ;o( I will say my cheer for AF then.......Come on AF, don't mess with my friend, Hurry up and don't play any more tricks!!!

Arlotheslug: It is good to be cautious, but I have a good feeling this time, iS IT!! I am really happy for you both....concentrate on the adoption and let TTC flow naturaly, ya never know!! Hope you have a great weekend.

MrSpace: Hope today is the day!! How are you feeling?

Candie: Hope you have good news to share!

Mommyin09: I am really excited for dh's new job on monday and of course for you too because, you will have him early at home to enjoy...will he have to work this weekend on his old job? I wish him a great b-day weekend!

[kmcarino]

There is still some hope but if it is a true negative, I hope af comes soon for you so you can start the next round.  Maybe you just ovulated late and it is too early.  You never know.  You know how surprised I was when I found out.

[luvkayln]

Well, I left work and went to wal-mart to buy a test. Sorry to say... BFN. I'm not suprised or even upset, I knew it already. Now I really, really just wish AF would hurry the hell up! Can I pleeeasssseeee get an AF cheer now? ;) What's sad though is that I called Sean today when I left work, and I told him I still hadn't started. And he's like " I was just thinking about that." He wants me to be pregnant soooo bad! It just breaks my heart! He wanted me to wait until this weekend to test, but of  course you all go me excited... dammit! lol :) So I'll just wait till this weekend and waste the other test and break his heart then. :(

Candie- I totally missed your +OPK post! Congrats!! Happy bd'ing! ;) How'd everything go today at your appointment? I'm anxious to here! :)

Arlotheslug- That's great that you and dh are still trying, but just going with the flow. I know this little boy is meant to be yours! I know you're nervous about the whole thing, but this is meant to  happen for you, and you've been patient so now it's time to be happy! You deserve this! :)

kmcarino,Candie,mommyin09,leighanne,hannah,arlothslug,Stacey,mrspace,pyar,keyan, & Joyce-- Thank you for the amazing support! I knew deep down it was going to be -ve, and it's sad that i'm to the point where it's getting to be ok to see those -ve's! I think it's easier for me to see a -ve now especially b/c I'm not doing any meds, even though we conceived our other 2 naturally. I just feel like it's an even bigger let down when I'm on the meds and forking out all this money to make it happen, and then it doesn't happen. I have high optimisim for this next follistim/iui round! So pllleeeaassseee cheer for AF now for me, k? ;)

[leighanne143]

arlotheslug- congrats.  that is so exciting and June is right around the corner.  maybe we will be sharing our sons stories together very soon.  i hope your meeting with the birth mom goes well.  let us all know and agaon i am so happy for you.

luvkayln- keeping my fingers crossed for you.  do you think you will test soon?

[Arlotheslug]

Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for all of your kind notes - it was a wonderful thing to see when I logged on.  As you guess, we are very excited!  But, we are also cautious - it is not a done deal yet and won't be until the baby is in our arms. ;-)  We decided not to do the IUI - we are still "trying," but just decided to let go.  It feels good for us.  

Luvkalyn:  I am joining the BFP Cheers!!!  No AF cheer from me for you!

Candie:  Congrats on + OPK!  I hope to go to an ultrasound soon - but have to meet her first.  This will be a wild ride with (hopefully) an awesome ending.  

Pyar:  Thank you!  

Hannah:  A good doctor will be very cautious and well aware of hyperstimulation.  It should all be ok!!!  

Happy Thursday all!

Oh my gosh, can I just say how MUCH I love you guys!! You are all so sweet! I'm just grinning from ear to ear! I'm starting to doubt everything now... Remember how my OPK was only +ve for like 8 or so hours... Well... what if I didn't ovulate or something?? I know my temps are high now, but what if it took a while after the +OPK to ovulate?? I don't know, I just don't want to get my hopes up here. I want to test, but I just know it's going to be -ve, as usual. I'm not really feeling anything now. BBs are a little tender-nothing like yesterday, no cramps, just a little bloated, maybe a little nauseated but that's just b/c I'm hungry as I've only eaten one meal so far today at 11:00. I have noticed a TON more CM lately, which is really, really weird. It's like creamy/watery, and an abundance of it. Sorry, tmi! ;) I don't know.. What do you all seriously think?? I was talking to my MIL today about it, ( I work with her) and I told her I don't really "feel" pregnant, and she's like- You can't feel pregnant this early! And really I never knew with my other 2 babies until almost 2 months with both of them. With Kayln, the only reason I found out at 6 weeks was b/c I had a doc's appointment that day. The only sign I had with her was being really tired the day before I found out. I want to try to wait it out, but I'm scared that I'm not pregnant and my trip may interfere with my IUI! Uugh... ! Sorry for venting!!
