Women of Strength

[mommyin10]

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.

Hello all

sorry havent been posting - i been busy with the new house :o) hope everyone is all good xx  babydust to all xx

[dnikki0928]

Thanks for starting a new thread!!!

mommyin09: How are you feeling?

luvkayln: Anything yet? How are you feeling - when do you guys test??!!

Well, no af but I'm pretty sure it's because of the prog. supp. I won't be able to do injects next month if I get that job, but clomid is okay for a couple of months :-) I can't wait for AF to just come and go!!! UGH!

[mommyin10]

Pyar: Sorry!  I started the new thread before reading your post on the last.  I'll switch you to 6dpo tomorrow!  Congrats!!! :-)

Lina:  Thanks for such a sweet post to everyone.  It's nice to have you back with us :)

Babymamma:  Same to you!  Welcome back :)  Have you moved in yet?

dnikki:  I think my ob had told me to take the progesterone till I'm cd30 & then stop, but I can't remember for sure.  My RE just says to take it till my beta, which is Friday.  Just FYI, I'm using a new progesterone this cycle.  It's called Endometrin.  I would highly recommend it.  I can't even tell you how much easier it is!  I would not go back to the other now!!! :)  Best wishes tomorrow!

Hannah:  I read your post on the other thread this morning.  What will the doc be doing the u/s for?  I could be wrong, but I don't think they can see your tubes through a vaginal u/s, just your ovaries & uterus.  Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong! :)  Good luck with the blood test!

Have a wonderful day, ladies!!!

[luvkayln]

Mommyin09- Thanks for starting the new thread! :) And as always, thanks for doing such an awesome job keeping our list updated! You are very dedicated to our thread, and without you we'd all be lost! :)

Candie- Yeah, I haven't been posting much lately, but everything's ok! :) I'm just kinda hangin' out in the 2ww... I'm glad you are feeling better and you were finally able to go back to work! Hopefully you'll continue to feel better, especially b/c you should be getting your +ve opk any day now! :)

Stacey- Thanks for the note! :) I've felt more positive for this cycle since my iui, so I'm prepared for either outcome as usual! :) How are you feeling?

Pyar- I looked at your chart, and congrats on almost being half way through your 2ww! :) I hope the outcome is what you've been waiting for!!! :)

dnikki- The progesterone supplements always delayed my period a day, but it's defintely different on everyone. Is this your first cycle on them? I wouldn't stop them just yet, b/c you just never know. AF will come if  you're not pregnant, even while taking them. It just affects everyone differently. Good luck! Oh, mommyin09 and I don't test unless we really, really think it's going to be +ve! :) Her beta is Friday, and AF should be here for me on Thursday, so if my temps don't drop Thursday, maybe i'll test. :) We'll keep you informed. :)

Hannah- I'm confused as to why they told you you were having an u/s later this week to look at your tubes. You can't see your tubes on an u/s, and if you can then that means something is wrong and they are majorly inflamed. The first time my RE ever did an u/s on me he told me that, and then we scheduled my hsg test. I'm still confused as to why you don't just test. And why didn't the doctor do an hpt test on you today? They did blood work, so is that for a beta?

Babymomma & Lina- Welcome back! :)

mrspace- Congrats on your +ve opk! Oh, but I'm just so sorry to hear about your mom's friend! That's just horrible, and you're right, life is just way too precious! God is taking care of him now, and hopefully an angel came to take him before he even knew what was going on! :(  ((Hugs))

Guesito- Has AF come yet? I'm sooo ready for you to start your next cycle for your FET! I know you are ready too! :) Good luck!!! Oh, and by the way, keep the meds, it's ok! I have 3 more cycles of meds in my fridge ready to go! :)

[LinaG]

Dear all,

I'm very happy and blessed to be back here my precious friends.:)
Thank you for warm welcoming!!!:)

I would like to ask you to give me same answers my dear friends. Thank you very much!:)

It is about my O, I really didn't have time to analyze my symptoms at all, as you all know I was busy with my dad, I think I O'ed immediately after my period but I don't know is that or can it be possible??? Can you look at my OT and give me your opinion and what U think? Thank U!

Mama in 2009 - Based on FF i have O'ed 5 days ago, so based to it I'll be 5DPO today? God knows.

Hugs 2 all!

[luvkayln]

LinaG- I would definately say  you are in your 2ww! Your temps are up there! :) I think it looks like you are either 5 dpo or  8 dpo. Your temps started slowly rising on CD 12, possibly making you 8 dpo today, but if FF is saying you are 5 dpo then maybe they are right! Either way, you've definately ovulated and are in your 2ww! Congrats! :)

[LinaG]

Really LuvKaylin my dear sis!:)
OMG! Can I became pregnant after to many stresses? O my Lord help me!:) I'm excited WOW:)

Thank you very very much!!!!:)
Luv U

[luvkayln]

LinaG- You're welcome! :) Stay excited, God will take care of you! Hopefully after everything you've been through lately, you will get your BFP that is much deserved! :)

[mrspace24]

Hey everyone!  DH and I both have the day off today.  So we're relaxing together.  I have SOOOO Much ovulation pain.  My temp also spiked up today so I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday.  

I've been working on a bunch of stuff this weekend.  I have lots of new designs for my website that I'm putting up and I've been working on a blanket for DH and I.  Since we don't have heat in our bedroom it will help a lot until we get moved!

[mommyin10]

Lina:  I completely agree with luvkayln!  Welcome to the tww :-)  I would bet you're 5dpo today!  Yes, there is definitely a chance even though you've been stressed.  Hey, you haven't been worrying about ttc.  Your attention has been elsewhere & maybe that will help.  Hopefully after all you've been through, you will be blessed with a litle miracle!  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you & will update you on our list tomorrow :)

mrspace:  Congrats!  I checked out your chart & it looks like you're in the tww, too!  Woo-Hoo!!! :-)

[LinaG]

Thank U very much my sis for a wonderful wishes & words!:) I hope that God will bless U this Friday!:) Please Lord!!! Hugs & kisses

[jmh2005]

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I have posted. We have had really bad weather here lately and everything is a mess. Wasn't able to make it to our doctors appt to start more femera so I am pretty upset. But the all the hubbys tests came back great including his sperm count. I guess we will just try naturally this month and hope for the best.

Just a side question for everone?

I don't have a clotting disorder or anything but I was just wondering if you guys still recommend taking baby aspirin everyday? Any ideas or other supplement ideas are welcomed.

I am currently CD6...

[Stacey1718]

Happy Monday friends!
I'm glad the work day is over.  I hope those of you who had the day off enjoyed it!  I was a little jealous to tell you the truth:)

Mommyin09 - Thanks again for starting a new thread and for keeping us up to date!  It is so much appreciated!  And thanks for updating me.  With my change in due date my weeks now change on Fridays...so I will be 8 weeks on Friday. :)  I checked out your chart and it looks like your temps are staying up there.  Very good!  I so hope that Friday brings you good news!

Luvkayln - Glad you are feeling more positive.  I know you are missing Kayln :( She is with you always and I'm sure she is so excited for her little bros and sisters.  I am hoping and praying you get good news this week! I'm feeling pretty good.  A little more nausea in the mornings but nothing too serious and other than that just kind of tired.  I love my afternoon naps when I can get them :)

Dnikki - Sorry for your -ve test.  As we always say, it's not over until she shows.  Good luck tomorrow!

Mrspace - Congrats on the +opk!  Yay!  Welcome to the tww.  And I am so very sorry about your mom's friend.  That is absolutely tragic. Life is so precious isn't it.  My thoughts go out to her and her family.

Candie - Glad you are starting to feel better!  Sounds like a nasty bug that you had.  And as luvkayln said - just in time for your +opk!!  

Hannah - Wow...I am confused.  Just be sure you understand what is going on!  It's your body and your life.  Good luck on your beta - assuming that is the test!

LinaG - Welcome back and thanks for the nice note!  And welcome to the 2ww!

Pyar - Wow!  Congrats also in being in the tww!  All the best

OHHhhh friends this is an exciting week!!!  There is a lot happening with testing and betas and I have a feeling we will be adding more to the BFP list!  I can't wait.

SSBD!!!
Stacey

[leighanne143]

i agree with stacey ladies, lets get some BFP's and high beta numbers up here this week.

so we finished jaedyn's nursery.  i will post pics hopefully by tomorrow if medhelp lets me.  i have been trying to post pics of the baby shower for 2 days and it keeps telling me error.

hannah- you have will power girl cause i would have peed on 10 tests by now like a puppy.

[wishandaprayer]

Hello ladies, I am back too!

I started ivf last friday and had my first monitoring appt today-12 follies, 6.5 lining, but have to go back tomorrow-they may start me on ganarelix. Has anyone been through this protocol? 350 follistim once a day and 10 units low dose hsg.

I just don't know what to expect from all of this!!

Lets get some new BFP's this month!!

[mommyin10]

jmh2005:  Hi.  Welcome back :)  I'll update you on our list tomorrow.  I don't have a clotting disorder either, but I was taking baby aspirin for a while. I stopped around Oct. & I'm curious, too, if it's a good idea to continue it...  As far as supplements, I take a Women's One-a-day prenatal vitamin, a Fish oil pill, aVitamin C & extra folic acid every day.  Congrats on dh's S/A & best wishes this cycle :)

Stacey:  Thanks, I will update you each Friday, then :)  Wow, 8 weeks this Friday!?  That's awesome!  Yes, there is the potential for lots of good news this weekend.  I'm very hopeful, yet cautious, so we'll see!  If not, I'm starting an exercise plan on Saturday!!!

leighanne:  I'd love to see your pics!  Hopefully you can get them uploaded.  I'll keep checking.  I'm sure the nursery is just adorable! :)

[mommyin10]

Hi.  I just missed you! Wow, you started the IVF process, that's so exciting!  Do you have an estimated retrieval date?  Good luck to you!!! :)

[wishandaprayer]

So far it looks like trigger on Sunday 25th, retreival 27th then 3-5 for transfer-ahhhh!! This is only an estimate, I have to make sure at my age that I don't get a run away follie to knock me out of this cycle. Wish me luck.

Your beta is just around the corner!!

Thanks for keeping everyone united through these threads-I am trying to catch up now

[Keyan]

Good Morning!

Luvkayln: we haven't "talked" in a long time.....hope you are doing good in the 2ww and getting ready for a BFP!!

Stacey: WOW..Congrats on the 8 weeks...just a few more weeks until you start to feel the little one..wow how exciting!!!

[mrspace24]

Hey everyone.  I'm 2 dpo today.  It's been a bad weekend (other than getting the house) and DH and I are fighting like cats and dogs.  

Last night was our last night of BD'ing while I was ovulating.  When we started this our Dr. told us to BD EVERY DAY while I was ovulating. So that's what we do.  Well last night we went to bed and I tried to...start things up.  He rolled over and said he wasn't in the mood.  I told him that we had to.  That when we started this, I told him EVERYTHING it entailed, including BD'ing while I was ovulating.  No matter what.  And he agreed to that.

He said that when I told him that he said "I could probably do that".  Probably meaning that he doesn't HAVE to.  

Of course I got soooo worked up and upset.  Here I am charting every day, waking up to take my temp every day, going through the crazy mood swings and hormone surges and side effects of the stupid clomid.  I work at this EVERY DAY.  He's given ONE job and can't do it?  And that ONE job is to sleep with his wife!  I was just so upset.

So I don't know what'll happen now.  I think we might be done.  We have one more round of clomid left but I don't think we're going to do it.  Not if he's going to pull this.  I'm not going to go through the hassle and the pain of doing all the charting and monitoring and taking the drugs for him to just cop out like that.  I'm still pretty angry.  I'm sure it'll blow over but we'll see.

Granted, I'm also still really upset about losing Dane. It's just been one of those weekends.

You all are wonderful.  Thanks for letting me vent for a minute.

wishandaprayer:  Yes, keep a tight hold on that follie! :)  Best wishes for your retrieval.  It's coming up quickly!!! :)

Keyan:  It's good to see you back on our thread :)  I'm glad to hear Barbie's doing better!  It's back to work for me today...  Talk to you later!

mrspace:  Sorry for the frustrations, but I've learned that if dh isn't in the mood, you shouldn't push it.  I think it's the "having to" that ruins the mood.  You really don't "have to" bd every day.  I'm sure you've covered your bases :)

So, my temp keeps dropping & I'm starting to think AF may be around the corner...  I hope not, but we'll see! Have a great day, ladies!

[luvkayln]

mrspace- I sent you a note, but caught you here first! I'm so sorry! :( I don't understand that either! I think sometimes for men it takes the "fun" out of bd'ing when you know you have to, ya know? I completely understand where you are coming from though. We chart every day, take these meds and go through all the side affects, work at it EVERY DAY and all we need from our husbands is just to cooperate and bd! Maybe he just doesn't know how to deal with the stress of it all like we do, ya know? I looked at your chart, and your bd pattern looks great so I wouldn't worry to much about not being covered, b/c you are! :) Maybe just try not to think about it too much, and when you've  calmed down you and dh can talk about it tonight. Just explain to him that you guys are a team, and it's not going to get anywhere if you both don't work together on this. When guys don't know how to talk about things or reveal how they are feeling, they do stupid things like this... I know you guys will work it out and you will keep trying. ((Hugs))

Stacey- Thanks! I'm feeling a little better today. Your nausea will subside soon, and you'll have more energy than before you even became pregnant! My 2nd trimester was a breeze! :)

Candie- Thank you so much for your note yesterday! You always just know what to say and pop in right when I need you! ((Hugs)) Patiently awaiting your +ve opk!!! :)

Keyan- I know, I was just thinking the same thing! I've missed talking to you! Are you not charting this month? My 2ww is almost over, just a couple more days now... If I'm not pregnant this time, we'll have to do next cycle med-free since I know I'm gonna have a ton of cysts in my ovaries left over! Then the cycle after that we can do another round of meds! :)

wishandaprayer- Wow! Congrats on the IVF!! :) Things are already moving very quickly for you! This will surely bring you your much deserved BFP!!! Good luck! :)

mommyin09- Looks like you have lots of updating to do on our list today! :) Everyone seems to be back and ready to go! :) We only have a couple more days to go! Still stayin positive? :) Can't wait to see your temps today! Mine dropped a little, but FF is still saying it's triphasic but you know that doesn't really mean anything! It just sounds good! :)

Welcome back to all the ladies that've been gone for a while! Let's get some BFP's soon!!! :)

[luvkayln]

Mommyin09- Oops! I just missed ya! :) I'm going to check out your chart now!!!
