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.

Beta was a BFN, so I go on CD3 to check out my ovaries. I don't think the left one will be back to regular size then, so I'll probably do a month of BCP's (again).
On another note, I applied for 2 jobs today, so hopefully one of them calls me back...

I'll check in later :-)

Hugs, Love, and SSBD to all :-)

Good afternoon everyone.  I just wanted to  update about my appt on monday.  Zachary is already measuring 4 to 4.5 lbs.  The doctor said that is about a week and ahalf big.  He also said that if he is measuring 12lbs when its time for him to come he would just do a csection.  I really dont want one and mentioned the possibility of inducing a week or so early if that was the case. His response was that nature has its way of taking care of things and that I would probably have him early on my own.  So... I guess we will just see.  My blood pressure is back to normal so Im back to going every other week.  

My mom decided to have the baby shower at my house so I wouldnt have to tote everything back to my house. So I have been stressing over that bc with the two kids at home and me not having alot of energy the house hasnt been up to par. My brother is going to my house today to move the bedroom furniture to different rooms for me. Olivia is going in our room and the baby is going in hers... well her room is a purplish pink color and there is no way I will have time to paint it b4 Saturday.  I guess I just want everything perfect... Oh well I will get as much done as I can.

I will try my best to keep updated on here. I hope everyone had a good weekend. SSBD to all!

mommyin10 - Thanks for the sad face next to my cd4.  It actually made me laugh.  :)  Pity party is over though, I'm doing OK.  Gotta forge ahead, right?  Sounds like you had a very busy weekend, but it was nice that your MIL got to see what a wonderful dog Carmello has become!  Only a few more days until your consultation!  

luvkayln - OK, you made me laugh too with the poo comment!  :)  You're right, this testing is a good thing and it's going to help us!  This last cycle was only 22 days for me, so I'd bet my house that the bloodwork is going to show some type of hormonal imbalance.  It will all definitely be worth it one day when we're celebrating a BFP!  I'm still so happy for you and DH that you got to hear the heartbeat!  That's great that you get to see a high risk OB.  Definitely better to be cautious and it will ease your mind to be monitored so closely.

Keyan - Welcome back!  I'm so glad that you had such a great time.  I will definitely have to check out those pictures!  It sounds like a beautiful place.  I'm sure it was nice to get a change of scenery and spend some romantic time with DH.  It's always so hard to go back to work after a trip though.  Hope your week isn't too bad.

dnikki - I am so sorry about your job, but the other ladies are right, you will find something better and be able to work for someone who truly appreciates what a good employee you are.  I'm sorry about the BFN too.  It sounds like you and DH have a great relationship though, so I'm sure you'll figure out a great plan for the future.

Guesito - What a relief that you were able to talk to your doctor and he is allowing you to take that medication as a precaution.  Now you can relax and look forward to your FET!  

mrspace - I'm sure Sunday was tough for you, so I'm so happy that DH gave you such a special day yesterday.  Very sweet!  I don't know what we'd do without these guys of ours.  They definitely know just what to do to make us feel better.  I'll have to check out your puppy pics, I don't think I saw the most recent ones yet.  Hope AF chills out and you feel better.  For some reason, mine was extra painful this time.  The sting of AF is bad enough without feeling so sick too!

pyar - I'm so sorry that your cycle still hasn't ended and you are having so much pain.  I hope you can get in with the new clinic soon and get some answers.  Take care of yourself.

hannah - That's wonderful that you are moving forward with the adoption process.  I'm sorry about Dan, but hopefully his work situation will improve soon.

Good morning everyone!  

I am in such a good mood this morning!  I wrote a journal entry about it, but I'll give you guys the condensed version.  Last night dh surprised me by taking me shopping for mother's day.  He got some negative feedback about doing something for me on Sunday (with the whole family present) because they don't consider me a mother.  DH does.  So last night he bought me 2 dresses, 2 nice shirts, an IPod!!!, a movie, dinner, and dessert.  I felt like a princess all night.  He kept kissing me, holding me hand, being very lovey-dovey.  It was awesome.  
Then we came home to puppy-palooza.  I love those puppies so much.  It's going to be hard to sell them :(  But it'll be okay.

Aside from all that, AF is still here.  Bad as ever.  The cramping is getting worse and it's worrying me. I called my new dr and he wasn't in.  He is doing some pretty heavy stuff this week at the big city hospital (instead of his small practice office).  So I called the old hospital.  I needed something!  So I talked to my old dr there.  She told me that cramps are normal and not a reason to see a doctor...EVER.  Some people just have bad cramps.  She was not worried at all with my history.  Whatever.  So my new dr will be back hopefully by Friday so I'll try to talk to him then.  We'll see what happens.

guesito- I'm so excited for your FET!!  And I'm glad that your doctor is finally doing something about the coagulants.

stacey- I want to see new photos soon!!  You have the cutest little bump!

luvkayln- I hope you had fun shopping yesterday.  And the u/s pic is so sweet.  I'm so happy for you!!

candie- JEALOUS!!!  I want to go on a cruise!  Ha ha.  You'll have such a great time.  Take lots of pictures and enjoy yourself to the fullest!

dnikki- I cannot believe your boss. What a jerk!!  You deserve better than that!!  What did dh say?  Ugh!   Richard said the same thing about adoption for a long time. He's starting to open to the idea a little but not much.  I bet you won't even need that though. I have high hopes for you girl!  Don't give up!!

Guesito:  Yay!  I'm so happy for you!!!  It su cks to have to demand proper attention from your doc, but I'm so proud of you for doing so =)  Wow, your FET is coming up quickly!

Pyar:  Yep, we're excited for our consult :)  I agree, make an appt with your new doc.  This is a crazy, long cycle for you!

Keyan:  I'm so glad you had such a great time!!!  (and that the bugs stayed outside! haha!)  I'll check out your pics soon.  Yes, I worked on Sunday.  I guess to save money, they cut off the air, which makes sense, but it was HOT!  I finished the appeal I was working on & feel so much more relaxed now...  aaahhhh!  =)  

Hannah:  Sorry, but what did you mean by "Dan has been made redundant?!"  I didn't understand...  I'm glad you're moving forward and exploring all options!  That is exciting :)  Keep us updated on your adoption process.  I'm sure there are many differences than here, in the states.  Good luck :)

luvkayln:  That's great that you'll have a high risk ob!  I know you'll still have concerns and worries, but it will be much more comforting to be seen every week :)  Well, still no +opk, but I'm remembering now that I usually get it on CD14 and then O on CD15-16.  So, it may be delayed a bit due to my m/c, but it should be soon & because I won't be using progesterone, my cycle won't be delayed at all.  Yay, soon I'll know when to expect AF & start my meds =)

I went for my b/w and u/s this morning. RE said everything looks good - Left ovary is still enlarged (at 59)...He said he wuold rather see that than it be down to regular size  (something about it being enlarged in connection with pregnancy...). So I have to wait until 2:00 today to find out. But basically all "symptoms" are gone. So I have no idea what to expect. I didn't POAS anymore, even though I have 3 left.

If I'm not p/g, I'll probably have to go on bcp's for a month to get my ovary back down to normal size. Also, he said usually 3-4 cycles of injects does the trick, but since I'm 23, he said we've basically exhausted our options except for IVF (I won't do IVF). So the plan for now is to do more injects (probably one more time). He said it could be b/c I have bad eggs, which is possible, bad sperm, bad luck, or I'm just not meant to have anymore. Obviously he can't tell me for sure what it is unless I do extensive testing which I really don't have a desire to do.... So, it's all on the table...

I'll check in later  :-)

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

Good Morning! ...........hope you all had a wonderful mother's day

me and dh had a wonderful weekend...I uploaded a few pics...since I know there is few of us here that love animals, there are few pic with animals...there is one that I have to upload with the retreats mascot...Jacky that was her name, she was a cute little dog. It was a nice place, some of its buildings date back to 1836 when it was a coffee plantation, the place needs a little TLC, but it was ok. While we were staying there, we went to the zoo, so that's why there a few animals on the pic. There is a Pic of an Observation Tower... there you get to see a panoramic view of the coast.

Now...catching up on everyone....

Mommyin09: You went to work on Sunday?! and no a/c?! why?! that's good your mil got to spend time with Carmelo and see how much he has progressed!! Friday will be here pretty soon!! ...BTW, the insects were outside the room, thank God not inside...LOL ;o)

Luvkayln: YAY!! I can't wait to see the u/s pic!! congrats!!

Dnikki: I am sorry about AF and your job ;o( .....things will get better!!

Candie: sorry about AF....and congrats on your cruise vacation....well deserve vacation!

Guesito: that's great your doc came thru and is helping you! ....but man ..that clinic is something else...I know you had a few strugels with them...so I am sorry....hopefully this time you will get a sticky BFP and won't need their services anymore.

Hannah: good luck today with the blood work.

Stacey: that's great you get a year to stay at home with Jake!! tell me about work...I am 30 and just received my first SS letter....I can't beleive I've worked for almost have of my age...I started when I was 16, and although they weren't full time jobs...I did work and haven't stop!! I am looking foward for my 3 weeks vacations in July!! all of this overtime of april and may will pay off in july!

Rachjas: congrats on your 2ww!!

ad_06: I am glad you are doing good.

MrSpace: sorry about af, hopefully she goes away soon!! ...can't wait to see the new puppy pics!!

dnikki- Oh no!!!! I'm so sorry you lost your job! :( Don't worry though! You have a great skill, and you will find another job and a boss who appreciates all the hard work you do! :) I'm glad dh was honest with you about not being ready to adopt. I think you should definately give the injections another round, but still not giving up on you this cycle girl! ;) IF AF does show, then move on to another round of the injections, and play it by here. You may feel the need to take a break, but I know you won't give up! :) We are WOMEN OF STRENGTH here, right? Right, OK!! :)

Guesito- Yay, that's awesome news! And good for you for throwing a fit! LOL :) Wow, FET is in 11 days! That's SO exciting! I know you're so anxious, and have been waiting for this for a long time! :) And thanks, we are SO thrilled! I feel SO much better having seen the baby and the h/b!

Okay, so not only did i get a BFN yesterday morning, I got a call from the secretary at work today to tell me "My services are no longer needed..." WTF??????????????????
So I immediately drove to work to pick up all my papers and such and my boss was still there. I walked into his office and saide "Dr.T****, I just want to know if you have a reason for firing me?" Answer: Turns around, shrugs his shoulders and says "Ummm, I don't know, It....Didn't work...out?" ARGH!!! I knew he was an A S S but seriously, when I am one of the only people who show up on time, do their job right and get along with my patients, you're going to fire me???????????/ I wish I could have told him off right then and there, but when I get really mad, I cry lol. I didn't want to make a fool of myself. Sorry for the vent!!!

On another note, my "symptoms" are subsiding. I can now (for the most part) lay on my stomach once again without the feeling that I'm crushing my bbs... So I am prepared for a -ive beta tomorrow. I'm going to do one more round of injects and see what happens. DH shot down the idea of adopting yesterday. He wasn't rude or anything, he just doesn't think he could do it. I'm glad he was honest with me though and I can't be mad at him for it. Maybe he'll change his mind one day...

Well gals, I shall check in later.... Hope everyone is well...

Hugs, Love, and SSBD to all :-)

Candie- Aww..poo! I'm also sorry about AF! :( It'll happen soon! You're getting all this wonderful attention you need and getting all the right testing done, and they'll figure out the issue and BAM, you'll get your BFP and will look back on all this and see how worth it it all was! It may not seem like it now, but we're not even 8 weeks, and I already feel like it was a short journey trying for this baby, even though when we were trying seemed like it was never gonna happen month after month... I know your time is coming soon! :)

Mommyin10- Actually, our next appointment is on the 26th at 7 am. Our next u/s pic will actually look like a baby! :) The nurse today got some really good shots of the baby, different angles and such, but didn't take a very good picture. I mean, you can't really tell what you're looking at. LOL Oh well, we experienced the best part today, and it totally made our day, that's for sure! :) After our next appointment, we graduate to an OB, but we're going to a high-risk OB so they'll do an u/s every week I'm pretty sure. My friend went there, and I'm trying to think of how often she said she went, and I'm pretty sure she said every week after the 3rd month. She also had a stillborn, but it wasn't a cord accident like Kayln's, I guess only half of his brain developed and she lost him. :( It was so sad...! I just got done shopping, and all I want to do now is pass out! I'm pooped! :)

Thank you all for the comments on my u/s pic! It really means a lot! ;) Hope everyone is enjoying their Monday! :)

Good morning everyone.  First of all, Happy late Mother's Day to EVERYONE.

AF is still here, on cd10 and she's kickin' my behind.  It's been light/medium the whole time but the cramping is killing me.  I swear each cycle it gets worse.  This time, instead of having normal (but big) clots, I have tissue.  LOTS of tissue.  And it hurts so bad.  So I'm debating whether or not to call and get an earlier appointment with the doctor.  This is driving me crazy.

DH, my momma, and I talked about all of our fertility stuff this weekend and DH decided to let me know that he HASN'T been paying attention.  The new obgyn we're seeing is about 20 minutes away. But he delivers babies in Omaha which is 1 1/2 hours away.  He's known this the whole time, but now he wants a different doctor again. So our choices are to stay with him or go to a specialist near KC which is where my mom lives.  But then he says that he doesn't want that either because "He shouldn't have to drive that far when he's the dad, my mom should have to drive".  I told him (and I know its' harsh) that it's not about what makes him happy right now.  It's about what doctor can help us the most and which hospital makes ME (the one who will eventually give birth) comfortable.   He agreed and was sweet about it after that.  

The puppies are doing GREAT! I have new photos up and you can see their little pretty eyes SO well.  They are walking around a lot more and growling and starting to do little puppy barks.  But everyone's doing great.  

dnikki- I totally know what you mean about your facebook story.  On myspace I got a bunch of "happy mother's day" comments from some of my friends, who know the trouble we've had.  Then this girl writes me a HUGE email saying how I didn't deserve them since I have no children.  And that while it may sound harsh, I needed to hear it.  Because then maybe I'd try harder to be a good mom while pregnant instead of always losing my babies.  I wanted to punch her in the face.  Bah!  I agree with the other girls here.  Keep testing! You do have good symptoms!

luvkayln- Congrats!  I can't wait to see the pic.  I will go look here in just a minute!

stacey- Your comment was so sweet and really touched me.  I hope that you, dh, and Jake had a great mother's day weekend.

Good morning!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! =)  I was so busy, I didn't get a chance to log on all day.  I started off with Pilates at 9am, breakfast with dh, then went to work for 4 hours (they turned the air off, so it was unbearably hot!) Then maybe 1/2 hour after I got home, my MIL came over & we had a cake for her & flowers, then she joined us for Carmelo's walk ;)  It was good 'cause she hasn't spent much time with him & the last time she did, he was still too shy and afraid of her.  This time she saw him run & play & just be himself ;)  We finished the day with a nice dinner, glass of wine & the finale of Amazing Race!  We're getting excited for our consultation on Friday!!! =)

luvkayln:  Yay!!!  I'm so happy for you & dh!  How cute that he so wanted to see the h/b ;)  I'm glad you both were able to see it and feel more at ease.  What a wonderful Mother's Day gift!!!  I'm glad you were able to spend some time with Kayln before the rain.  What a perfect day, mommy!!! So, is your next appt in two weeks on Monday?  I can't wait til you get to see your little teddy bear ;)  

dnikki:  I'm sorry you got a -'ve ;(  I agree, though.  Don't give up hope yet.  We'll all be thinking of you & hoping for great news tomorrow!!!

Mareski:  Good luck with the new RE! That is exciting :)

michelleinhawaii:  Thinking of you today & hoping that your beta is negative!!! =)

Jessie:  Good luck today!!!

Good morning!! We just got home from our u/s, and got great news! :) We saw the baby and the h/b!! I'm just SO happy!! :) The h/b was 141, and Kaylns at this stage was 147! :) I've already uploaded our new u/s pic. It was so cute at the doctor's b/c the h/b was so tiny, and I saw it right away b/c I knew exactly where to look but Sean kept having a hard time finding it! So I kept asking him if he saw it, and he's like..."Ya.." but he really didn't so the nurse zoomed in on it for him. :) It was like that episode on Friend's where Rachel kept saying she saw the baby, but really didn't and Ross kept having to show her. :) Our next appointment is in 2 weeks, and then they'll release me to the high risk doctor right across the street from them. :) And I have an appointment with them 2 weeks after that. My next u/s pic the baby should look like a teddy bear, that's what Kayln looked like at 10 weeks. :) Yay, I'm just so over the moon happy right now!! I can't wait until we all get to experience this! There's nothing like seeing your baby's h/b for the first time. I still remember the first time I saw Kaylns, it's just absolutely amazing!! :)

Well, I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day yesterday! We went and saw Kayln yesterday, right before the rain came so it was perfect timing! :) I'm off today, so I'll finish what I didn't get finished on the house yesterday, and of course, after that I'll take a long nap! :) Hope everyone has a great Monday!!

dnikki- Did you test again? I hope it was just too soon yesterday! Good luck! :)

Happy Mother's Day!! :) Sean got me a Mother's Day card and signed "Love, Baby, Sean and Baby Kayln." I thought that was sweet, being as I told him not to get me anything. :) My u/s is early in the morning at 7:30, so I'm sure I'll have an update before a lot of you are on here in the morning. Wish us luck! :)

dnikki- Oh, I'm sorry for the -ve! But like Stacey said, don't give up! Positive's show up at different times for different people, so hang in there! I'm holding out a ton of hope for you! You're having great symptoms!! :) Enjoy your Mother's Day!!!

Stacey- Are you enjoying your first Mothers Day?? I hope so! :)
