We are 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 realiizes 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.

Okay all!  So exciting day for me.  I'm on CD 4 (according to this site) and I just started Clomid today!  My doctor told me to start on day 5 but that's INCLUDING my one day of spotting.  So to her, I'm on CD 5, if that makes sense to anyone.  I had a serious temperature spike this morning, also. I have no idea what that means.  My temp is normally very very low (like 96.5).  And the last few days it's been right around there. Today it spiked up to 97.3 though.  Not sure why.  I'm usking OPKs so hopefully (if I'm just ovulating VERY early) I'll catch it.

Guesito- I don't know you very well at all but I'm so excited about your results today!  Good luck, sweetie!

ad_06- It's nice to meet you!  I'm new to the thread too.  I also have PCOS.  I will be keeipng my fingers crossed for your BFP!

babynr- I'm so sorry about the loss of your dad.  You'll be in my thoughts and prayers!

Leighanne143-  thanks for the support.  My m/c's were spread over 3 1/2 years, but nonetheless.  I was very very lucky though.  Through it all my DH (who was my fiance at the time) stayed right there beside me the whole time.  Well, sort of.  Technically he was half a world away in Iraq for some of them, and stationed on the east coast for the rest of them.  But nonetheless he was there for me and loved me through it all.  I'm very lucky.  I'm so sorry to hear about your losses.  I know how difficult it can be.  And to have them so close together is terrible.  

Thanks to all for the welcome's.  I can't wait to get to know everyone better!

Wow, so many new buddies!  Welcome everyone!

mommyin09 - I hope those little eggies stay put until DH is available!  :)  I can imagine that IUI is probably pretty stressful on him, so hope he's doing OK.  Are you nervous?  Something new is always scary, but I hope this is the answer for you!

luvkayln - Your tree sounds adorable.  I can't wait to see pictures.  I know this is a rough time of year for you and my heart goes out to you.  I hope this Christmas brings the hope of what's to come and many blessings to you and DH.

Arlotheslug - Oh dear, don't you dare blame yourself.  I know what you mean, it's only natural to question it and think that you could have done more, but cancer sometimes is just one of those things that sneaks up and there is nothing we can do.  I am so sorry for everything that you are going through and I understand completely if you need to take some time to heal.  Know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Stacey - Wow, you're right, we definitely need some good news.  So sorry about the horse.  And about your MIL, man it's just not fair that she's been through so much and now she has to deal with this as well.  I hope she starts to feel better soon.

Guesito - Good luck with your u/s today!  Maybe we'll be doubly congratulating you soon...  :)

Keyan - How are you today?  No AF yet I hope.  

babynr - I've often thought about you and I am so sorry for the loss of your father.  you're right, it's never easy no matter what the circumstances.  I pray that your family is comforted by your memories and is given the strength to get through this difficult time.  On a better note, good luck with your next IVF.

jmh2005 - Good luck today.  hope you see lots of good follies!

ad_06 - Welcome!  I'm so sorry you've been struggling for so long, but hopefully this new doctor will be able to help.

hannah1505 - I hope things work out for you.  I know what you mean, everyone always has an opinion on our lives and it is none of their business.  We're always being asked why we don't have kids yet, what are we waiting for, etc.  I am always shocked by how insensitive people can be.

babynr- Hello, it is great to hear from you even though it sounds like things did not settle down very much.  i am so sorry for the loss of your father.  that must have been a very difficult thing.  I hope thoguh that you like the new job.  when do you start?  I want to go back to school to take an ultrasound technician certificiation course.  Being a social worker is just tough and i kind of want something to fall back on that i dcould do an overnight shift and my fiance can work the day shift so little Jaedyn will not have to be in day care often.  That is also exciting that they will be sending your egg to you in Jan.  Thank you for your sweet comments, yes the belly is getting big.  i am trying my best to take care of it to the fullest.  I am going to leave you a comment also on your page:)

mommyin09- yeah it is getting huge, although that is great because more people can share their support with one another.

welcome everyone who is new:)
