Women of Strength!

[mommyin10]

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.

I've had a busy weekend, so haven't really had a chance to check in with you all.  I took an hpt this morning & it was negative, plus my temp dropped a bit.  I think I'll stop my progesterone tomorrow if my temp continues to drop.  So, on Friday, I picked up my parents from the airport.  They were on a 3 1/2 week cruise through China, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore...  It was great to see the & hear their amazing stories! :)  Saturday I had to attend a seminar from 8 a.m.-7p.m., so it was a loooong day!!!  Today I got up and went to Pilates & now I'm just catching up on laundry, cleaning, etc. & dh and I are gonna watch a movie & then take Carmelo for a walk.  We're loving his new schedule, by the way :)

Arlotheslug:  I'm SO happy that Alice will be okay!!!  What a scare you & dh had!  Thank God she'll be okay :)  Your boot camp schedule is unbelievable!  Are you continuing with it this week, too?  I'm so impressed!  I've been keeping up the pilates classes 3-4 times/week & the spinning once a week.  This week I plan to go Wed. and Sat.  We'll see! :)

Candie:  Thanks for hoping I'm the next bfp! :)  I really appreciate your support.  Doesn't look likely this time, but as you know, it's okay...  I know with dh's new schedule, we'll be so much more relaxed this time around :)  How are you doing?

Luvkayln:  I'm so excited for you!  This will be a busy week, with your u/s & HSG.  I'm so happy everything is working out for you :)

Stacey:  How are you feeling?  Do you have another appt scheduled?  I hope the bleeding has stopped & you're feeling much better, especially since you can move about a bit more.  Take care! :)

Keyan:  How is the Lupron treating you?  Did you keep up the Zumba classes all last week? :)

Lina:  Will you test soon?

mrspace:  That's great that your u/s is this week!!!  How exciting :)

So I had my PRE-FET consult yesterday. My Dr. thinks the reason im miscarrying is because is due to coagulants. He suggested im clotting while pregnant which prevents oxgen for the baby-fetus. He says its not a big deal at all and that a daily dose of steroids will do it. He said I will be on the same dose of  Progesterone in oil and I will also start Estrace(Estrogen) very soon. Estimated date of FET 5/20 beause  I missed my date this month.. Oh well!  God knows what he's doing.....Im happy with it.


Have a great weekend!!!! :)

Well I am up, and getting ready to go to my RE. I don't think we will be doing the IUI today, because I am still getting a neg OPK!! I don't know what is going on this cycle? Maybe I am just going to O late. Last time we did IUI, I O on CD 13, and today is CD 16. Who knows. I just hope that I don't have to go back Monday, which I mean I will, but I today will make 3 days that I have already missed work to go. Next week I have to miss Tues, and Wed. because my Dad has to have a heart cath. So I don't know if I can take Monday off! We'll just have to see what the U/S shows today! I'll update more later.

arlotheslug...

Thanks! I will keep everyone posted on EVERYTHING! trust me lol

[mrspace24]

Thanks!!  We are really happy.  I'm REALLY tired.  Ha ha.  DH and I were talking about it while we were looking at the u/s pic last night.  We both think that A and B are boys and that C is a girl.  DH thinks A is a boy because it's bigger than the other two.  DH just wants it to be a strong big healthy boy.  I don't care as long as they are all healthy.  

I can't wait to see u/s pics of your little baby and to hear how all the adoption stuff is going. It's so amazing.

HI everyone:

Well trying to keep myself calm and convince myself that the adoption is going to happen . . . keep the karma flowing.

Pyar:  I am very sorry.  I am not sure if you remember, I went through a very similar situation - I did not respond to any injections with the IVF (2 cycles) . . . We also were against donor egg b/c for us at that point - it just made sense to adopt - I also have friends who have 3 (and with 4&5 on their way) with donor eggs . . .  I know how painful this is . . . . but I also know that you will be strong and feel good again.  Give yourself some time.  

ad_06:  Good luck tomorrow!

Luvakyln:  woo hoo! IUI here we come!  

Mommyin09:  I can completely understand accepting IVF . . . I hope the dr will answer all of your questions . . . . Thank you.  I hope you have a good weekend. too!

Candie:  I hope you have a fun weekend with DH . . . thank you for your well wishes - I hope this happens too!  

Kenyan:  I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling.  I hope things are ok and get better . . . you are in my thoughts!

JMH:  I am glad the IUI went well - very exciting!

MRSPACE: OMG! OMG! OMG!  Wow. . . . congratulations.

Stacey:  Good luck on Monday . . .

Mamatina:  It is good to hear from you!

LinaG:  I hope the wedding went well . . .

Happy Friday . .. enjoy your weekend!

jmh- I know, after I saw you pic I was like I am 95% sure that was you all.....lol I was so surprised that we have the same RE! This is my 3rd cycle there and I love it! I would say my favorite person there is Fran the nurse, she is so motherly. Dr. Toffle is really nice too and seems to know more than any other doctor that I have been to. Well good luck and I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!!


Candie- Thanks, hopefully I will get my IUI tomorrow :)

So I have to go to the RE tomorrow! Hoping to get a + OPK in the morning! I will let you ladies know.
