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 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.

Good Morning!  I got my +opk yesterday & my temp dropped today.  So, I'm expecting to O today, but we're not going to do iui & I'm perfectly okay with that! :)  We've covered our bases & I'm feeling so relaxed & stress-free.  It's really nice :)  I'm off work today, but will cancel my days off for tomorrow & Wednesday.  Be sure to check out our old thread to get the latest updates.

Keyan:  That su cks you were sick this weekend!  I'm so glad you're feeling better.  Just one day of work this week, that's great!  We'll all be thinking of you & looking forward to your recovery at home on Wed. ;)

Candie:  Sounds like a fun weekend!  I love shopping with dh :)  I'm glad you're having nicer weather, but honestly 40s & 50s...  Brrr!  j/k! It's actually been cold & rainy for us since Friday & I love it!  I think the rain has actually relaxed me ;)

luvkayln:  Hmmm... interesting that your ovaries are sore again.  Either way, we are close this time around ;)

ad_06:  So sorry about the bfn! I'm with you, just wait it out at this point.  Hopefully you're too early & AF won't show.  Then you can test again.  Best wishes to you!!! :)

Shysana:  Yay for cm!!!  That's awesome!  Looks like the increased dose of clomid is working for you! :)  Now, come one +opk!!!

mrspace:  Thinking of you & hoping your HSG goes well! :)

[mommyin10]

Hi all!  I'm starting a new thread.

[luvkayln]

Well here everyone is! :)

Stacey- That's awesome that you're moving to a regular OB now! I know how you feel, but stay positive, b/c everything is ok! :) When you had your u/s, did they give you a possible reason for the spotting?

rachjas- Thanks, I am truely ok with the outcome of my u/s. Sean and I decided that if we're not pregnant in a year from now, we'll do IVF. I better be by then though! It's only taken a year for each baby for us, so if our average holds true, we should be pregnant soon! :) Of course, that was with no meds and on natural cycles, now I'm having cysts b/c of the meds and having more annovulatory cycles b/c of it. We've actually decided to finish the follistim that we already have, which is 3 more cycles, and then we're done with the meds. We'll just leave it in God's hands, just like we did before. :) I'm honestly not sure when AF is due. I'm not counting on any time soon though, just b/c my lining was so thin. Doesn't your lining need to be thick to have a period, since Af is  the shedding of the lining? We'll see, I guess. Congrats on your iui today! Sounds like everything went perfect! :)

dnikki- I say test again in the morning!! It still really is early, so I have high hopes for you! :) Yeah, I really think the tattoo will be cute! I'll let you all know when I get it done! :) Of course, if I get pregnant next month, I won't be getting it done for a while! lol :) Good luck for tomorrow!!!

Mommyin09- Where are you??!! Starting to get a little worried! You're never gone this long...  Hopefully you check in soon! :)

[rachjas0623]

luvkayln- I am happy you are o.k with the outcome of your appt. So, when do you think AF will arrive? It is exciting you already have your plan for next cycle. I am glad you are going with your gut. You have to do what is best for you and your family. If you don't mind me asking, who did you get pre-approved through? A local bank?

dnikki0928- On some websites, I have read that implantation can take place betwenn 6-12dpo. But, I think most Dr. would say that would be late. You never know though. I would say... test when you feel most comfortable.

So.. DH made his deposit today.  Pre-wash was 61mil per ml with 50% motility.  Post-wash was 170 per mil with 85% motility. I had my IUI around 4:45. I was scared. It went really well. Home now relaxing.  

[Stacey1718]

Hi Ladies,
It has been quiet!  We had a holiday here today and I have been in bed for most of the weekend.  It's getting to me a little bit!  But I have continued to have spotting every other day and (knock on wood) it seems to be less and less each time.  So hopefully it continues.  I have officially "graduated" from my RE's office and have my first OBGYN appt on Feb 24.  So, I am just crossing my fingers that everything is fine until then.  I feel like I was getting confident with this pregnancy, and last week really shook me up.  Plus the fact that I am still spotting and having cramping on and off.  Ugh.  

Luvkayln - When I read your earlier post I was wondering if your cycle was annovulatory.  Well, at least you know and you can continue to relax for the rest of the cycle.  And that is fantastic about the IVF option.  I'm sure you won't need it but you know, it is nice to have that option there in the back of your mind just in case.  I love your tatto idea too!

Kmcarino - Happy belated B-day!  I hope you get a nice bday present at the end of your tww!

Rachjas - Congrats on your follie and all the best with your IUI!

Dnikki - You are definitely early.  Try to wait a couple of days and try again.  Don't get discouraged just yet!!

Mommyin09 - Hope you had a great weekend.  You are just sailing through this tww.

Candie - I hope you have a great week!  I assume you will O in a couple of days?

Keyan - I am so sorry that your surgery did not go as planned and your results were disappointing.  I agree with the others, this is just the start of the process and every step is in the right direction in getting your BFP!

Take care ladies and SSBD!!!

[dnikki0928]

Hey Ladies :-)

Luvkayln: I wondered the same thing lol! It seems like Mondays are usually slow for some reason. That's great your cysts are gone!!  And awesome you guys got approved for IVF loan! I really hope it doesn't come down to that though... The foot tatoo is a neat idea :-D I think it might hurt though lol!!

Well at 12DPIUI, I had some funky feeling going on in my abdomen. It felt like someone literally was pinching my uterus. The last time it felt like that is when I had my m/c. But isn't it a little late for implantation?  Do you guys think I should test in the a.m with FMU? Anyways, other than that things are okay. I'm still struggling to find a good sitter with reasonable rates. The lady yesterday wants $180 a week!! IS SHE NUTS?!?!?!?!
Well, I don't know where everyone is at, so ya'll must be having an okay day!!

[luvkayln]

Umm... where the f is everyone???!!! Well, here's my  update anyways! There were no follies on my right or left side  ( which means my cysts are gone! Yay! :), and there was free fluid in the back of my uterus- just indicating that there was a rupture. My lining was only at 5.4! So... I think I'm having an annovulatory cycle, which I'm fine with. The nurse thinks the cysts faked my body out, and my body just thought those were my eggs releasing. I'm cool with it! I'd rather it be an annovulatory cycle than have ovulated and having such a thin lining  would probably just end in a m/c if a baby did try to attach. So now we just wait for AF. I'll do the follistim next cycle again, this time without IUI! :) My gut instinct is to not have the IUI ( and I felt that way last cycle too, but my RE talked me into it) , so this time I'm following my instincts! :) So get this... Just to see if we would get approved, I applied for a medical loan for IVF and we got approved. So if all else fails and we're not pregnant lets say by the end of the year, we have that option. I'm sure we will be, or I hope anyways! :) Sean and I are going to talk more about it tonight when  he gets home from work. I went and visited Kayln today. We're putting her spring stuff out on March 1st. Sean bought her a cute pin wheel that looks like a flower, so he's anxous to give it to her. :) I've decided to for sure get another tattoo for Kayln. This time, I'm getting her feet tattooed on my feet. That way, it'll be like she's walking with me. I think it'll be adorable. :) I was thinking about it a while ago, but I've decided to for sure do it. I can't see the one on the back of my neck, even though I know it's there, at least I'll be able to see this one easily! Well, I hope to see some posts on here soon.... Was there a pary and I wasn't invited?! :(  j/k!

[luvkayln]

Good morning ladies! :) Hope everyone had a great weekend and a romantic Valentine's Day!! So, for peace of mind, I called my RE's office this morning and asked if I could have an u/s today to see if I've O'd yet. Since I'm not temping and am only tracking my CM this cycle, I have no real definate way of knowing if I've already ovulated. I had very watery/slippery CM for about 7 days, then it was creamy yesterday, and is now EWCM?! So, I said screw this, I'm calling my RE. :) My u/s is at 1:15, so I'll be able to update soon.

Leighanne- Here's a BIG congrats to you and dh!! I'll check out Jaedyn's pics! :)

Kmcarino- Oops, I missed your birthday! Here's a Happy (belated) Birthday to you!! :) I have a great feeling for you this cycle! :)

rachjas- Wow, Congrats for having a huge follie on your good side!! How exciting!! :) And your first IUI is today! Woo hoo!! :) Don't be nervous, it's such a simple procedure. You can't even feel it. Sending TONS of baby dust your way!! Good luck! :) Oh, and I pay $40.00 for my hcg trigger shot too, so to me that's a good price! :)

dnikki- Sorry about the bfn too... But it's still early! Really! Just Rachjas said, don't give up hope just yet! You may get a suprise very soon! :) I know you're on the verge of giving up b/c of how long you've been doing clomid and IUI, but that's why I think you should give injections a try! I know you're leary of them, but I absolutely love them compared to clomid! I had such terrible side affects with clomid, pretty much every side affect that was listed as a symptom I had it! With follistim, I had absolutely none! They are more expensive, but you have such a higher chance with them b/c it doesn't mess with your CM, it doesn't thin your lining out like clomid does, and you make a heck of a lot more eggs with them! Do what your heart is telling you to do, and stick with that! :) I'm just putting my 2 cents in, but tell me to mind my own business if you want! :)

Mommyin09- I had a great time with my family, thanks! :) I haven't seen everyone together since I was 6 months pregnant with Kayln! So it was nice to see everyone together again! My cousin has a 2 year old little girl who she and her husband adopted right from birth. They were there when she was born, and it was an awesome environment b/c the birth mother and her became very close during the pregnancy, so there was no uneasiness for them. Well, guess what! They've been picked again, and this time they're getting a baby boy! I'm just so happy for them!! :) Sean and I went out to dinner last night to celebrate Valentine's Day together, since we didn't have any alone time on Valentine's Day. It was awesome! We stayed there for a while, just talking and laughing! I loved it! :) I'll update asap on my status of ovulation. We won't know an exact O date if I have indeed already ovulated, but we'll have a round about idea I think. And if I haven't ovulated, they can give me an idea too of when I'll O! :) Hope you and dh had a great weekend!!

Candie- You got it, just relaxing and having fun! ;) Too much fun in fact! lol ;) My CM is getting more fertile, so I think O may be coming up soon, if I haven't already. I just find it odd that it was watery/slippery for about a week, then creamy for a day or so, and now it's EW... So that's why I decided to just make an appointment today and know for sure if I'm about to O, or if I already have. I'm still not temping, and I honestly think I'm not going back to it! Especially since I'm going back to the RE next cycle so I can do the follistim again, and I'll already know when I ovulate. I don't stress over my temps before O, just after it! Wondering what every little thing means, ya know? And I can't help it, it's too easy to be anxious over it in the 2ww! Have you been feeling any O pains? You should be ovulating soon, if you haven't already! Hope you're staying busy! ;) Good luck!!!

jmh- Oh, you're welcome sweetie! :) I'll be praying for your good side too!! I know it gets hard, especially when you try to keep so positive every month just to get the same results! But we just have to have faith that it will happen. And even when we get down and swear we're done, something inside us just triggers and we have new found hope for the cycle to come! That inner strength is our hearts yurning to be a mommy, and we will never be able to let that go! It'll happen, you'll see! Stay strong!! ((HUGS))

Stacey- That sounds like you had a great weekend! How fun! :) I'm sorry too that you had a little more bleeding, but at least you know that the baby is ok! It's honestly very common to have some bleeding during pregnancy. For the first 3 months with Kayln, I had "periods" every month where I would bleed exactly 30 days from each other. Just for a couple days, then it would stop. The story I told you when you first had bled, is the last time I ever did. And what's funny is when I was 4 months I actually went out and bought pads, b/c this time I was prepared for it! And it never came again! Our bodies just react differently to pregnancy, so just keep doing what you're doing... relaxing as much as you can! Everything will be fine! :)

wishandaprayer- Thinking of you today!! Good luck with your beta! Everything's crossed for you sweetie! Please update us asap with the good news! :)

[rachjas0623]

I had my CD 14 Re appt. today. It went great! My lining was 10.4.  That is the best it has been. While on Clomid it was 7-8ish. On my bad side, I had my cyst as normal. Then one small follie, around 7 or 8.  On my good side, I had one follie about 23!!! I immediately asked her if that was too big, she said no! She said you are ready for trigger now!  At first she said we would trigger tonight then IUI at 9am Tuesday.  But then she came back and asked about tmw.  So, the nurse did the trigger... which DH was sooo happy he didn't have to.. and we have to wait for the nurse to call in the am.  Most likely, DH will have to make his deposit around 2, then IUI at 4 tmw! That will put us at 30 hrs past trigger. So , what do you all think? I am soo nervous.  This is my first IUI.

mommyin09- First thing I told the nurse today was that my pharmacy couldn't get it.. she told me not to worry.. that had some! It was $40.  Is that a good price? I have never used it before.

dnikki0928- Don't give up hope just yet!

leighanne:  Your pictures are awesome!  Your little one is just precious :)  I hope you heal soon & I'm sure it'll be easier with your mind focused on your beautiful son ;)

jmh2005:  I think we all know how you feel.  There are times when it really hits you hard & other times where it's easier to deal with...  I'm in the same boat.  dh's s/a is normal & I O on my own, so there isn't an explained reason why we're not getting our bfp.  My only issue is my uterus being miss-shaped, but I'm told that won't prevent me from getting pregnant.  Anyway, that's why I didn't mind that we skipped the iui this time.  I think it's gonna happen.  We just can't predict the "when".  I know it's frustrating, but hang in there!!! :)

kmcarino:  Happy Birthday & welcome to the tww!!! :)

Candie:  Yes, there are lots of good people out there.  The news is just generally focused on the negative, unfortunately.  Sending you extra baby dust :)  I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day!!!

luvkayln:  How was your family dinner?  I'm sure you had a great time seeing everyone!  Hopefully your workday isn't too long & luckily you have tomorrow off to relax a bit! :)

dnikki:  Sorry about the bfn ;(  It's true, it is still early.  Hang in there & good luck with the sitter :)

Keyan:  How are you feeling?  I hope you're doing better.  I'm thinking of you! :)

[jmh2005]

Thank you Candie. I guess my frustration is that nothing is wrong besides a blocked tube. Everything came back normal which means there are no answers for us =( I guess since hopefully this will be my first IUI i am still in the beginning stages so we will see...thank you agian

[kmcarino]

I'm sorry about your bfn but it is still early.  I hope you get your bfp in a few days:)  Does your insurance cover any fertility meds?  I think IUI with injectables icnreases your chances of it working so I would suggest that but do whatever works for you!  I guess you missed my post yesterday.  Dh's count was 114 million after wash so I am optimistic this cycle:)

[candie429]

luvkayln - Hope you had a nice weekend with the family.  I'm kind of with you this cycle.  I expect to O soon and I've been keeping an eye on my CM, but I may not know exactly when O happens.  Just relaxing and having fun, right?  :)  

mommyin09 - That's such a sad story too.  I think you're right though, thankfully there are a lot of good people in the world too.  It just stinks because all you ever hear about on the news are all the bad stories.  I Hope you and DH had a great Valentine's Day!

Keyan - Hope you are feeling better.

Stacey - Sounds like you've had a fun weeknd.  I am so sorry that you had to deal with some more bleeding, but thankfully it's all done now and you've been able to get some rest.  I hope you have a better week.

leighanne - Wow, what a story.  I'm so glad that everything turned out alright and you now have your precious little boy in your arms.  I checked out your pictures and he is absolutely adorable!  Enjoy being parents!  :)

kmcarino - Congrats on the IUI!  Those counts sound great.  I hope it works this time!

dnikki - So sorry about the BFN, but don't give up yet.  I'm sure your family history is weighing heavily on you, but you could definitely be different.  We're in the same boat as you because we won't do IVF, so I understand all too well how scary it gets the longer you're trying and when your options are running out.  You're right, you are definitely fortunate to have your son, but God may still have another one in store for you.  I hope these next few tries give you a great gift.

jmh - Yes, I think we all have those days where we get discouraged, but all we can do is have faith and stay positive and pray that God has good things in store for us.  I hope the Femara helps you and you get to experience a full-term, beautiful pregnancy.

wishandaprayer - Good luck with your beta tomorrow!  

babynr - Hope the transfer went well.  Take care.

[dnikki0928]

Good Morning ladies :-)

Leighanne: Again, Congrats!!!! He is sooo precious! I hope you heal well and take care of you and your new little man :-)

Keyan: I'm sorry about the lap results...however I'm glad you know what's going on know. I too have endo, so if you need someone to talk to let me know. I'm always here...

Arlo: Glad to see you on here! DH sounds so wonderful to support you with donor sperm...I'm so happy for you!!! Do you still have adoption under way?

Stacey: Again, I'm so glad your little one is safe in there :-) Just keep on resting! That concert sounds like fun!!

Kmcarino: How did the IUI go? Good luck!!!

To those who AF showed - I'm sorry :-(

Well I'm 11DPIUI...I tested with FMU and got a bfn. I will test again in 2 days. But I don't think I am pregnant. I'm really starting to weigh my options right now. I don't really want to do injectables, and I don't want to do IVF - 1.) We don't have the money to do it and 2.) I don't think I can put my body through it... I'm starting to think that God just wants me to have our little boy. I'm so grateful for him though! I guess I'm thanking my lucky stars that I have one healthy child... We've been doing clomid and IUI since Sept. 2007, and got one BFP but it didn't stick (April 2008). I think I'm going to allow 3 more rounds and if it doesn't happen then I'm done. Maybe we'll start looking at adoption or something. I don't know.... My aunt was 27 when she had to have a hyster due to endo, my mom should have had an early hyster, but she didn't and had sooo much pain and blood. I think at 30 I will have mine, that's 7 yrs... but it's already starting to seem so real.

Anyways, on another note. We are interviewing yet another sitter today and hopefully we like her! I have 2 potential employers so we shall see how that goes! I can't wait to work again! I hope that doesn't sound aweful lol!!!!  Sorry this is so long... and thank you ladies yet again for listening....

Have a great day!!

[leighanne143]

stacey- that voicemail was the scariest thing ever.  i am healing well so far from the c-section.  i am up and moving around very well, the doctors are all impressed.   It does hurt a lot though, i was not expecting this type of pain but then again it is major stomach surgery.

he is great though. i put up a few moe pics.

[jmh2005]

luvkayln

thank you so much for your support. somedays i just feel like giving up and im sure we have all been there. i thought my pregnancy problems could be fixed but i just cant stay pregnant and they dont know why so I am hoping 5th times a charm. since tey are talking about IUI i am getting kina anxious and nervous. I have an ultrasound on the 20th to see if I have any follies on the right side so im praying hard...thanks again for your response

[mommyin10]

Leighanne:  Awww, what a scary start to such a wonderful story ;)  I'm so happy for you!!!  I'll go check out your pictures now.  Congrats!!!

Stacey:  The show sounds like fun & I bet your nephews are having a great time! :)  I'm glad to hear you're resting & doing so well.  I didn't see that story on Oprah, but it's true that although there are so many uncaring people out there, I think there are more who are so good & loving, thank God! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

[Stacey1718]

Happy Valentines Day to all our lovely ladies!

I hope you are all out on romantic dates with your dhs!  Dh and I have dh's nephews for the weekend.  This afternoon we went to the show We will Rock You.  It is a live show featuring Queen music.  It was really good and the boys really liked it.  They are 11 and 15 and very into music.  Things are better with me.  I had some more bleeding yesterday.  I still felt a little upset about it but tried to convince myself to not get too stressed.  I was at my friends wedding reception.  But, I have been in bed as much as possible and taking it easy.  We left the wedding early and dh has been doing all of the fur baby walking.  So all in all feeling better.  Thanks again for all your notes and prayers...it all helped!!

Leighanne - What a surprise!  Congrats to you, dh and little Jaedyn.  You must have been so nervous when you got that message.  I'm so glad everything turned out well and that everyone is healthy.  Are you recovering of from the c-section?   Good luck and enjoy every moment!

Arlotheslug - So nice to have you back!  And wow, that is amazing that your dh is supportive of the donar sperm.  He is so strong....you both are.  It is very exciting and you do deserve to be pregnant, and you baby deserves to get that beautiful red hair of yours :)  What a wonderful plan.  I am very excited for you both!

Candie - That story is soooo sad!  It is amazing how many stories there are. Amazingly sad.  Did anyone watch Oprah where the family adopted the dog that had his face severely damaged when he was a puppy in a dog fighting cage?  It was so sad but another lovely story.  He was the cutest dog and the family just loved him so much. Hey, you must be o'ing soon!

thanks nikki-
yes ladies i had Jaedyn Michael on 2/10/09 at 11:43pm via emer c-section.  he was 6.13lbs and 2 inches long.  so even 2 weeks early he was average size, he would have been big if he stayed in there longer.

so get this.  i was in verizon trying to get me cell phone fixed tuesday night when i kept getting phone calls.  so i finally listened to my voicemails and it was my doctor saying that my liver level was very bad and to head down to L & D because they were going to enduce me because i was shpwing major signs of preclampsia and they did not want my kidneys getting worse.  So of course i freaked out and i was a mess.

we headed down to the hospital and got there round 7pm.  i was scheduled for a c-section for 10:30pm and off we went.  he was born at 11:43pm that night and was perfect.  check out his pics and how much hair he has.

i was a mess that night and all wed because of the morphine that i was pumped up with.  but we are home safely today with our little guy and it is great.  it is amzaing how on love you can fall.

luvkayln:  Have a fun, busy weekend!!!  Enjoy the day with your family! :)  Let me know if you see Taken.

Candie:  Oh, there are just too many stories like that.  It just breaks my heart ;(  We recently had a story of a white lab named Giddeon who was rescued & I won't go into detail, but it was just amazing that he was in such awful shape after being hit by a car & when he was rescued, his tail was wagging at the site of his new friends.  They took donations, as well & he's doing great now!  Thanks so much for all the baby dust!!! :)  I hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day & how appropriate that you expect to O!  Best wishes!!! :)

Joyce:  Congrats!  I'm sure you're thrilled to be having a beautiful little girl :)

[kmcarino]

Joyce- Congratulations!!!

Thanks for all of the best wishes for today.  My IUI went great!  I just love Valentine's Day!  I am having ovulation pain now but at leaast I know I am ovulating.  My husband's number was 256 million before the wash and 114 million after wash!!  I am so glad I had him start taking extra vitamins...it made a big difference!  This is the most he's had!  We have a good chance this month I think:)  I go in next Saturday to check progesterone and estrogen levels.  Good luck to everyone!!

[Joyce49788]

24 weeks today with a GIRL..... my next appt is March 11th.  good luck to all

[luvkayln]

babynr- How exciting!!! :) That's awesome all 3 made it through the thawing, and all were able to be transferred! I think the odds are in your favor! This is gonna be it! :) Keep up the positive attitude, and God will take care of you! Good luck! :)

Candie- OMG, that story about the dog is SO sad! :( But, I'm so glad there are people out there who care and giving of their time and money to support him! And that's great he'll make a full recovery! Poor thing! :( Screw his old owner, sounds like a loser and unworthy of the dog! I'm totally with you! Anyone that would hurt a helpless animal or child is a piece of ****, and I could care less about them! I hope the dog finds a loving home, with people that deserve him and that can give him the love he deserves! That's great you'll O soon! :) I'm honestly not sure when I'll O... My ovaries have been sore for a while now, and my CM  has been watery for almost a week now! My RE did say it'll probably take me longer to O since I had 2 cysts, and when I had just 1 cyst I didn't O until CD 26! So we'll see. I guess I'll know when AF shows when I ovulated, lol! ( 14 days before! :) Good luck to you, and have a wonderful day tomorrow!

Keyan- Oh, I'm so sorry about your news! :( But, that's great that you're starting to take Lupron, and will go back for a second LAP and hopefully get things the way they are supposed to be then! These are just stepping stones to your BFP! Get lots of rest so you have a quick recovery! Enjoy your Valentine's Day tomorrow!! :)

Mommyin09- That's so funny you mention seeing Taken, because Sean will NOT stop talking about that movie! LoL! :) He wants to see it so bad, so of course, we will! I had another LONG day today, with setting up for the Valentine's reservations for tomorrow. But the room looks so sweet and romantic, it'll be perfect! :) I have to go in tomorrow morning for an hour or so to finish up some things, and then we're off to St. Louis to have dinner with the whole family. We didn't do Christmas this year with them, so we've decided to spend it together tomorrow so it should be fun. Then on Sunday, I have to go in early to get ready for a bridal show event we're doing at the winery, so it'll be a busy weekend! I finally have a day off on Monay, yay! :) Who would'a thought I'd be excited for a Monday! :) I hope you and dh have a great day tomorrow! :)

Arlotheslug- Wow! What a sweet, sweet dh you have! How unselfish of him to do this for you!! Aww... your post just made my heart melt! :) You deserve to be pregnant, just like he said! And you will be! :) You're just one CD behind me, but I'm not sure that I've even ovulated yet, since I have 2 cysts and my RE said I'll probably ovulate really late b/c of them. I know it's hard not to be anxious about your next cycle, but you can't help but be! I know we're all just as excited for you as you are, and we're so glad to have you back! :) God will take care of you! You'll be a mommy, you'll see! :)

jmh- So sorry AF showed, but how exciting that you're starting Femara! I hope this it does the trick for you! :) Good luck!!

kmcarino- Good luck tomorrow! This has got to work for you! There's so much love going on for you tomorrow, and what a way to top that off with making a baby! It's almost too perfect! :) Leave it in God's hands, and He'll take care of you! :)

mrspace- That's awesome you and  dh had a "play day" yesterday! :) I love those days when you can just really appreciate each other, and have fun together! That su cks you and him won't be spending much time together over the weekend, but at least you'll have Sunday and Monday to celebrate together! :) Good luck to you as well this cycle!!
