We are Women, Hear us Roar...

...in numbers too big to ignore, and I know too much to go back an' pretend,
'cause I've heard it all before, and I've been down there on the floor. No one's ever gonna keep me down again.

Oh, yes, I am wise, but it's wisdom born of pain. Yes, I've paid the price, but look how much I gained.
If I have to, I can do anything.
I am strong (strong)!
I am invincible (invincible)!
I am woman!

You can bend, but never break me 'cause it only serves to make me more determined to achieve my final goal.
And I come back even stronger, not a novice any longer, 'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul.

I am woman, watch me grow. See me standing toe to toe, as I spread my lovin' arms across the land.
But I'm still an embryo, with a long, long way to go, until I make my brother understand.

Oh, yes, I am wise, but it's wisdom born of pain.
Yes, I've paid the price, but look how much I gained.
If I have to, I can face anything.
I am strong (strong)!
I am invincible (invincible)!
I am woman!

My dear Friends- update from yesterday

Yesterday I was crushed and today I'm a plain. Yin Yang:)

Last night I couldn't sleep till 4am previously I was crying and suffering a lot, had 1000 of questions without answer, and my DH fell asleep around 2am (we spoked a lot, hug each other, started laughing and decided to BD no matter what his results are!!!.  

Today my DH called me (he was working today) on the cell at 11am to see am I awake, I thought it was alarm clock reminding me that I need to measure BBT.
I finally wake up, with thoughts what should we need to do next, had my coffee, and wrote an message to my Doc, he was on the trip to Germany, and I have appointment for U/S today.
I found out that my message is not delivered, so I was waiting and waiting and finally after 1 hour I got delivery report, so I decided to call him. I did that and he told me that he is not back yet, and told me to go to the hospital for U/S to another Doc. I couldn't wait to tell him about S/A test and the diagnose, so I asked him do I need to see my follicles ???!!! when my DH is diagnosed with something that I don't understand very well, but I know that something is not good, :((( he asked me about diagnose, about semen morphology and said: Don't worry about anything, he is good, he has enough good semen to fertilize an egg :)))) I thank him a million, wished him to have safe trip back home, and to be in touch, hang up with my Doc!  
O my Lord and my dear Mammy, thank U!!!
After that I phoned immediately my DH screamed from happiness, laugh and make my DH to laugh and told him I love him no matter what, he answer the same!!!:) and everything will be alright with us and we are going to have an angel soon, with God help. Thank U Lord!
My husband came home to pick me up and went together in hospital and I found out that I don't have follicle up there, it has started to go down:))) I'm in O!!!
This Doc, was so positive, he said to us "do BD, since the weather outside is cold, snowing and raining and next time when U came here you should be pregnant". :)))
I touched the moon!! :)))
I thank Lord for everything, and THANK YOU ALL FROM MY HEART, MY Med.Help FRIENDS, MY NEW FAMILY!!! that where here with me, give me support and love!!!
THANK U ALL!

Hey Girls ~ it's Trac ~ I'm using Jessie's signon till I'm able to get back on ~ I have no idea what keeps happening, but will take advice to change screenname. The AGP girls started some snarkiness with me confusing me with someone else I guess they had trouble with and just keep it coming my way for some reason I have no idea....then started the bard shutting me down.  It's just plain rude if you ask me.

Anyway - here I am CD19 & 4DPT, and finished up my doxycycline and prednisone yeterday.  We dropped Thanksgiving Dinners (Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, etc..etc) for the Church foood drive, then I went to Costco and the new Christmas Tree Shop with DH & DD then to Houlihan's for lunch and across to Lowes for some replacement houseplants and had the worst diahrrea I have ever had (TMI - I know, but seriously....the antibiotics went right through me).  I haven't been up and around since the ET except for driving to/from RE's office yesterday then I came home and laid down again....really getting stir crazy.  I can't wait till I get pregnant and can finally go back to work after a couple of months.  I took off to try and conceive, but it's just taking SOOOOO long.

I have been having little pangs in my left side last night & today (please make me preggo!!!)....  

So now just wanted to sign on and thank eveyone on here and my friends who are signing on for the support being offered.  I got so angry yesterday when I got frozen, I called my neighbor immediately (GHJunkie/Patrice) I was so PSD.  But luckily she was able to get on and let you guys know.  

It's like an addiction being able to talk to you girls on here but not the people in my everyday life - they just don't get IF and I'm really tired of all the weird questions and looks..... wish the Site Gods would just leave me alone.  It is just totally unfair.

Have a glorious day girls ~ stay warm!!!  I think I'll take a little nappypoo!!

Good morning all!

So sorry Mommyin09.  That is just not fair.  IUI without drugs is certainly worth asking about.  If you are not ready to jump into the world of IVF...why not?

I'm also confused about Tracy.  Her profile is up.  What are we rallying to do? :)

Candie - Good luck my friend!  Fingers and toes crossed for you!!!!

Arlotheslug - I hope you are doing ok.  It sounds like you and dh have some choices and decisions to make.  I wish this experience was not so difficult for us.  It just breaks my heart at times.

Well, I'm off to pick Honey up from the groomer ...her first grooming experience!

Have a great weekend everyone and SSBD!

Well, my beta came back negative!  So, I'm stopping my progesterone & just waiting for AF...  Thanks for all your support! I really appreciate it :)  Keyan gave me a great idea, to try iui without meds.  Because we can't have multiples, it seems like that's a great option.  I guess the only problem would be if I don't O on my own.  When I go in for my u/s, I will ask my doc about it.  Thanks, Keyan! ;-)


Candie:  I'm really pulling for you, my friend!  I sure hope you have better news.

Keyan:  Best wishes to you!!!  I'm glad you're moving forward with your lap & January isn't too far away.  I'm sure you're scared, but also excited for it to be done :)

Lina:  I left you a message, but I'm just so sorry you got bad news today!  Believe me, I know how it feels to have a curve ball thrown your way & you feel like you've lost all hope... but once you're able to process the information & get some options from your doc, you will feel positive once again.  Take care!!!

Tracy:  I'm confused.  Why were you kicked off?!  I sent you a note & it went through, so are you back on?  Thanks for the info :)  I'm glad your b/w came back so good!

hope to hear some good news from all of your appointments...i will hit 12 weeks tomorrow.  i get to go for a allergist appt on dec 4 because my asthma has gotten worse since i got pregnant. i am reading a whole bunch of stuff about when you will feel baby movements....and it seems to say that the more pregnancies you have the sooner you feel it...so since this is technically my 6th pregnancy.... i should start feeling SOMETHING in the next few weeks...that will set my mind at ease once that happens.
there have been a couple of times i THOUGHT i felt something but figured it was just gas or something as the baby is still barely the size of a lime...lol

hope all goes well for everyone and i wish you all the best....TONS OF SUPER STICKY BABY DUST COVERED IN HONEY going out to you all...............

Guesito: Congrats on the + Beta, and I am sorry about your grandpa.

Arlotheslug: I am so sorry, my friend this TTC doesn't get any better....again I am sorry. It is true, you need to be sure about dh decision. One way or another, you and dh will have soon a baby, I know it, beleive it. How did your test go?

To all the new ladies....welcome...I will try to catch up on soon on all! I completely agree...our BFP list needs to continue to grow.

My update/BW Results:
Everything looks great! ~
EST-698-/- PROG- 53-/-Lining 12 IEHH
I asked (since other girls on here asked me): "What does it mean when your lining coverts?" They want the Progesterone above 30 with US - and after transfer it changes to an hh pattern.
Medication adjustment: no
Able to drink Green Tea decaf? Yes - actually can have under 12oz caffeine a day
Can I go back to acupuncturist? Most acupuncturists wont see you once you are potentially pregnant..there are ways that they actuallly do abortions with acupuncture because it redirects bloodflow throughout the body.
Preg Test Dec. 1st!
.........time to take it REALLY EASY!

mommyin09 - Good luck with your bloodwork today.  I know, it seems like every time you schedule it, AF goes and shows up.  I hope not this time!!!  Keep us posted.  As for me, no AF yet.  I was going to test, but chickened out.  If I make it to tomorrow, I definitely will.  

Arlotheslug - Lots of luck at the doctor's today. I hope he has some encouragement for you.

luvkayln - Thanks for the good wishes, you're the best.  It would be so awesome to have that BFP in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I don't want to get my hopes up yet.

Guesito - Congratulations on the BFP!!!!  That sounds like a great beta number.  I am so happy for you!!  On the other hand, I am so sorry about your grandfather.  It is never easy to lose someone, especially someone you have been so close with, but i hope you can find comfort in your many good memories and I'm sure he will be watching over you and your little one.

kmcarino - Thanks for your encouragement.  No AF yet this morning and temps are still high, so we shall see!  Now, let's see some of that positivity for yourself!  :)  You're only 9 dpiui, so don't read into your symptoms too much.  You could still be just fine.  I hope so!

Michelle - Again, I am so deeply sorry for what you are going through.  I pray that your procedure goes smoothly today and that you are given the strength you need to heal both physically and emotionally.

     Hey everyone! Im sorry I have been MIA for about a week.  Work has been really busy and the internet wasnt working at the house... not that I would get to use it since my kids were sick and I was going to bed at like 730.  Things over here are better.  Both kids have a little cough but are much better than what they were.  I still have a cough that I dont think I will ever get rid of! The cough med that my doctor said I could take tastes horrible and makes me want to throw up.  
      The kids biomom has been calling like everyother day, which is really good for her.  I think it is only bc her little sister pesters her about it.  We still havent let her talk to the kids yet... she is scheduled for a D&C Monday and then after her last check up we are going to wait a week and see if she still sticks around.  There is a huge chance that she will just disappear again once all the doctor appt are over with.  
      It took me about 30  minutes just to skim through all the posts Ive missed, so if I missed any one Im sorry!



Michelleinhawaii:  Im so sorry for your bad news.  Please keep us updated with everything.  20% is a low percentage so please dont get your hopes down.  We are here for you if you need to talk.

Guestio:  Congrats again! Im sorry about your loss.  I know how you feel.  My grandfather died years ago and the other day I realized that he wasnt going to be here when we have our baby.

Arlotheslug:  Im sorry about your news.  It bites that your arthritis medicine is affecting you ttc.  Is there nothing else you can try?

To all the new cycle buddies:  Welcome! The ladies on here are great!  They will try to answer any questions you might have and if they dont know the answer, they will search it! Trust me I know! They have done it for me.

Mommyin09:  Im hoping you get your bfp that you deserve! Please dont give up!

luvkalyn:  A cyst?  Im glad they caught it on the ultra sound.  I bet a med-free month will be good for your body before injections!  


Sorry if I missed anyone or anything important! I promise I will try to keep updated!   My doctors appointment is on Monday and Im so nervous.  Its just that I have never actually seen the fetus.. just the sac, so Im afraid that it might not develop.  I know my chances if that are low but until I see it I know I am going to worry.  Im just glad I only have the weekend to wait!
