Calling All 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.

So, I had my u/s today to check my follie & apparently I misunderstood what I was told at Friday's u/s. On Friday, I actually had a cluster of 8 little follies, not an 8mm follie! My largest follie was only 5mm. At today's u/s, the 5mm follie was gone. It must have dissolved/died off or something. Today my largest was 8mm & my lining was 3 or 4. something, too thin. So, I'm not even close to O & I'm cd15. I'm so confused because I actually got my +opk & it was the smiley face kind. No guesswork there. It's perfect timing for me to O, too, so it's just odd. The only thing I could think of is that my exercising has delayed my O. I asked the nurse & she said that is possible. My cycles are like clockwork, so it's weird that all of a sudden O would be delayed. Anyway, I have another follie check this Friday & hopefully my follie keeps growing & my lining thickens! Please keep up the dance, ladies!!! =) They said that if I don't O, I'll have to take meds to bring on AF. Hopefully that's not the case & my body's just taking an extra week to ripen one good egg!
Swinging by to say hello....Started my cycle and are on my way to a FET on 5/20
"There can be miracles, When you believe" I'm believing.
Also wanted to share that my dr. thinks I have a clotting disoder(MTHFR) which prevents oxygen to the baby and causes a miscarriage. Test where ordered to confirm. He says its a quick fix. No biggie. Just a coagulant prescription to prevent it.
Luvkayln-Good luck sweetie, You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey everyone, just thought I'd let you know that DH and I are travelling to see a new doctor tomorrow. Hopefully he'll come up with a good plan for us to figure out our problem and find a solution to our dreaded "unexplained" infertility.
We're both really excited, but I'm a bit nervous at the same time. It's so exciting to think that we could finally be on our way to getting some answers and hopefully a BFP one day. Yet on the other hand, it's a little scary because I feel like this is it. I know, maybe that doesn't make sense, but that's just how I'm feeling today. DH and I both got a little teary-eyed last night (who am I trying to kid, I always get more than a little teary-eyed!). I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope and pray with everything I have that this doesn't end up with us getting bad news. Hopefully God will give us the strength to keep our faith strong and never stop believing that He has great things in store for us.
OK, sorry, but thanks for listening. I'm so lucky to have found such great friends! :)

ad_06 - Wow, what great news! I hope Wednesday gets here quickly for you and your numbers look even better. I'll be sure to keep praying that you have a little bean in there that is hanging on tight! Congrats! :)
Stacey - I already commented on your pic, but again, your belly is so adorable! I'm glad you had a nice weekend. I know, Nittany was so tired by the time we got home last night. He's probably happy we're both at work today so that he can catch up on his sleep! :)
luvkayln - I agree with the others, I don't think I'd be as calm! :) I know, it's important to protect the heart, but I'll keep praying for you that this is the real thing! Sounds like you had a busy weekend! Hope you've had some time to recover.
mommyin09 - Wow, definitely a strange cycle! I think it's good that you started your progesterone anyway. Like you said, it won't hurt, and it's better to be safe than sorry. Since this cycle is full of surprises for you, I hope you get surprised with a nice BFP too! :) Hope you had a nice Easter too.
Keyan - Thanks for the note. Hope all of your church activities went well. It's hard to believe that Easter has come and gone already. sigh... Time goes too fast. Hope you have a good week!
mrspace - That is so exciting about the puppies! Congrats. I think doggy kisses are always the best medicine. :) Can't wait to see pictures! I couldn't agree with you more, I'd love to be surrounded by puppies too! They are just one of the sweetest things on earth.
Hannah - Hey there cycle buddy! Looks like you, me, and mommyin09 are all really close this time. I'm sorry things have been so hard for you lately. Sometimes, it feels like everything hits at once. Just keep believing that one day you'll be living your dream too. :) Hopefully that extra cm was a good sign for you!
rachjas - How are you? Still hoping that everything works out for you soon. :)
Joyce - Hopefully that little one cooperates and you get to see exactly whether it's a boy or girl soon! I haven't heard from Vortex either, but I'm thinking she's due very soon. Hope she's OK.
Kaylee - It's good to hear from you! I'm so happy to hear that you're doing so well. I'll definitely check out your latest u/s pic. Be sure to keep in touch and let us know how your next u/s goes. We'll be anxious to hear if it is indeed a little boy! Take care.

Keyan- Oops, I missed your post! Thanks for staying positive for me too! :) You all are wonderful, that's all I can say! :) Yeah, the progesterone isn't affecting me at all, just that one day and now it's like I'm not even taking them b/c I feel so normal! Which is cool, so unlike any other time I've been on it. So I'll test in the morning, but I'm not expecting a miracle, I'm hoping for one, but gotta protect my heart, ya know?
Stacey- First of all, your belly picture is too darn cute. You look wonderful. The puppies should be here any day this week. I don't know if we'll keep any. Since we don't have a fenced in yard yet, we probably won't keep any from this litter. That being said, my husband wants a bi-eyed husky SO bad. They are incredibly expensive so if we get a bi-eyed, then we will probably keep that one. We'll see. I just can't wait til they are here. I want to bury myself in a pile of fluffy puppies. Ha ha. They are so gosh darn cute. I will be sure to take pictures and post them so everyone can see our little furballs. Ha ha. Dh was saying last night that we're going to be grandparents! Ha ha. Silly boy.
ad_06- Congrats again!! I posted on your pic, but I'm just so happy for you!!! I know your numbers will rise, don't worry! :) Wed seems like forever away to you right now, but it'll be here before you know it!
Mommyin09- lol your post made me laugh! I re-read my post to you and I did sound super calm, haha! It's b/c I know it's from the hcg shot, or else I'd be jumping up and down and you'd be able to tell how excited I would be in my post! The reason I know it's from it is b/c it showed up in the first couple of minutes, and got darker the longer it sat. I don't think it would show up like that if it were a true bfp at 9 dpo. My temps are still high, but that's nothing new for me at 11 dpo, so I'll test tomorrow morning and see... I'll keep you posted! ;)
Stacey- FINALLY, thank you!!! lol :) I posted on your pic, and you look absolutely adorable! I love pregnant bellies! Rub it and send some vibes our way, k? ;) Thanks for staying positive for me! I always appreciate your positiveness! :) I read that the shot should be out 1,000iu per day, so it should've been out by 8 dpo, BUT everyone metabolizes it differently. So I may be absorbing it slowly, who knows!? I guess we'll know tomorrow, huh? :)
