Calling All 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.

For those who missed the wonderful news, I'm posting dnikki's message from Sunday morning:
Happy Sunday gals :-) I hope everyone is having a good weekend. My SIL cam up from SC yesterday so it's really nice to see her - DS is just loving her lol!! We are going to my MIL's today for a bit. DS is still doing well with potty training but once he's engrossed in something he doesn't let you know when he's gotta go. But at least he still goes when prompted! I was nauseated a bit last night - had one of my sour suckers (for some reason they make it go away for a bit) but it came back right before bed last night. So this morning my dogs wake me up..I decide I'm going to POAS even though I'm only 10DPIUI. I layed in bed with it on my nightstand staring at it literally keeping my fingers crossed and praying for  alittle nudger in there...HOLY ****! My digi says "pregnant"!!!!! SO now I'm hoping it really is right and that I didn't pee on it for too long or something silly like that lol!! DH doesn't even know b/c he's at drill! SO between now and later I will have to think of a cute way to tell him. I think I might also try to get in for a beta tomorrow morning. Do you all think this is it?? Mommyin10 - if you make a new thread could you copy and paste this in there?? Thanks ladies!!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all  :-)
*****************************************

Also, I posted on our old thread that Keyan is in the hospital.  She's okay, but will be hospitalized for a few more days because her WBC was too high.  Please keep her in your thoughts & prayers! ;)

That's great that you're almost done with your bcps.  I seriously feel like cr ap!  I have a headache, cramps & I'm oh, so nauseous ;(  I'll be fine, though.  Yes, hopefully my body gets used to them quick! =)

[mommyin10]

Everyone:  I just heard that Keyan is OK, but was admitted to the hospital on Friday night.  Her WBC is high & she's being given antibiotics through IV.  She's expected to stay a few more days.  Please keep her in your thoughts & prayers! ;)

dnikki:  I can't wait to hear dh's reaction to your exciting news!!! =)  I'll be checking in throughout  the day tomorrow.  Best wishes for your beta!

guesito:  I'm SO happy to hear that you guys will find a more compassionate doc & give it another try!!!  That is really great news =)  So, were you saying that you were taking the blood thinners & shouldn't have been?  I'm just so sorry for all you've been through, are going through & I hope it's a happier road from here on out ;)  Take care!!!

[dnikki0928]

Thank You Thank You all!!! DH still isn't home, but he should be here in about 45 minutes!! I am still in shock and I can't wait for my beta tomorrow :-) I won't be able to post the results until later in the day - sorry! But I'll be about 2 1/2 hrs away from a computer unless I stop at my mom's lol... But I go in at 7a.m  so wish me luck!!!

Guesito: I am so happy you and DH are going to give it one more shot! I haven't checked out the website yet, but they sound aweful! I wish you much luck, hugs, and prayers for you :-)

Stacey: Thanks for rubbing your lucky belly lol :-)

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[GUESITO]

By the way check put their website and give me your honest opinion based on their website..   www.fertilityexperts.com

[GUESITO]

Congratulations!!! You must be over the moon! Have a happy, healthy 9 months! Yey!

I just wanted to thank everyone for your beautiful notes and comforting words they mean a lot to me.

AFM-  Hubby and I are still in shock and can't believe it. We have never trusted our RE  for several reasons and the only reason I stayed with them was because I had frozen embryos left at their clinic.They never return calls, Theres never a Dr. to talk to.. You only speak with nurses and only see a Dr. for the retrieval and transfer... Im so pissed at them right now...I was under the impression that I was under blood thinners and for testing positive to coagulants and when my nurse called me to tell me about the BFN she said " You may stop all meds including the prescribed multivitamins" In total shock I responded I thought Folplex was for my Blood thinning and she responded " No, Dr. decided not to put you on any blood thinners just vitamins"  And usually we charge for a follow up consult but we will wave it this time"  Not only have I trusted this people TTC, but have left over $22,000 cash! and they have the nerve to treat me this way!!!!


Anyways I thought It would be the end of IVF'S for me because DH had said that he wasnt willing to go through all the emotional IVF roller coaster again but..... This morning he suggested he go with another RE and give it one more shot  =) Another option for me is a tubal reversal my stupid RE also suggested they where too damaged beyond repair but knowing how they are who knows if they wanted to make more money through IVF instead. I was so naive.. If you go to my RE's website that should give you a clear signal not to go with them.... It's very outdated, no successful rates listed,  among other signals.... My only  infertility issue is a tubal Iigation in 1998 (Young & Stupid!!)

Soooooo anybody know of a good clinic with high success rates either in Florida or  willing to travel if need be.


Thanks!!!

[rachjas0623]

dnikki- Yes!!! That's awesome! Have you decided how you are going to tell DH?! I am sure your numbers will be great! Rest up!

mommyin10- Hopefully your body will hurry up and get use to those BCPs. But, probably by the time you do.. it will be time to stop them anyway!!! Tomorrow evening is my last BCP!!! Then I will be expecting AF. I am guessing Friday?!?!

[ad_06]

Congrats!!!!!!!! Good luck on your beta!! We do so much worrying the whole time TTC, then it still continues after our BFP's. I'm sure everything will be fine though. I'll keep you in my thoughts. Congrats again!!

[dnikki0928]

Okay, so I decided to take another test this afternoon - just to sort of ease my mind until tomorrow. So at 630 this morning I got a BFP with FMU and then around 1 I took another before my shower - another BFP!!! I love seeing the pregnant words lol!!! So now that it has sort of hit me, I am sooo excited and I want to scream with joy (DS is sleeping htough lol)!!! DH cannot get home fast enough tonight!! Nervous for my beta tomorrow though - you all know how I feel... I'll check in soon!!

[leighanne143]

dnikki- i know its 25 cause when i used the clear blue digi, i went for a beta the next day and it was 32.  so they test accurately fairly early but is good that you got a bfp at 10p iui cause that means the baby implanyed nice and strong right away.

[dnikki0928]

Mommyin10 & Stacey: THANKS!!!!I am excited, but like I said, still cautious.  I cannot wait for DH to get home tonight!!! He's going to be sooo happy! I'm going to get a little gift bag and a Father's Day card and think of a poem to put in it along with my p/g test....I think - as long as I can do it before I burst open my mouth whhen he comes through the door! Stacey - how are you feeling hone? You don't have too much longer to go! Are you still doing the bedrest?

Dnikki:  OMG!!! =)  Yay!  What wonderful news!!!  I can't wait to see your beta results tomorrow.  See, I told you you were following in luvkayln's footsteps!  haha!!!  Oh, I can't wait til you tell dh.  I'm sure it's so hard to wait.  I'm just so happy for you & I understand being cautious, but I bet your numbers will be music to your ears tomorrow =)  I'll start a new thread tonight or tomorrow & yes, I'll copy & paste your post if some of the girls haven't check in yet.  Congrats!!!

rachjas:  That's great that you're not feeling side effects from the lupron!  I react to estrogen & I think it's kicking in from my bcps because I couldn't sleep last night & feel really nauseous today...  Hopefully it passes.

Has anyone seen Knocked Up?  We just saw it last night & it was funny =)

[Stacey1718]

Wooo hooo!!!!  Congrats!!!  That is awesome.  YAY!  We were due for another BFP.   Your HCG is probably good since you were feeling sick and you got a +ve at only 10dpiui.   This is definitely it!!!!  Can't wait for your beta results!!

[dnikki0928]

*CBE* digital

[dnikki0928]

Leighanne: We were posting at the same time! THANK YOU!! I keep reading different things about the SBE digi's - that they read at 25 then again they read at 50. So hopefully my levels are good tomorrow since I've been having "symptoms" since 5DPIUI.

[dnikki0928]

Luvkayln: I'll be able to tell DH tonight when he gets home - I think I'll wait for DS to go to bed first that way it's him and I. I already feel guitly that you guys know before him lol - But I really need reassurance lol! I know I  won't relax after my numbers lol!! But the thought is there....I won't be able to post until tomorrow evening b/c I'm going to see my Grandma since she's still in the hospital and then going to visit my sis since today is her birthday, and all of this is 2 1/2 hrs away. But we won't be telling anyone until around 6 wks or so just to be safe. I think we will tell my SIL though since I know she would LOVE to be the first to know  (+ she's a doc lol), and she's up from SC so it's perfect!

[leighanne143]

OMG congrats dnikki.  the clear blue digitals pick up with a low amount of HCG.  i used one at 9dpo and got a pregnant too.  dont worry i bet all is well.  enjoy your day and relax.

[luvkayln]

dnikki- Oh, they will, don't worry!!! That's awesome you got your +ve so early! I had taken my test at 9dpiui and it was +, but I was still cautious b/c of my hcg trigger shot. But since you didn't take a shot, this is FOR REAL girl!!!! :) I'm so excited for you! I'm excited we get to add another to the BFP list, woo hoo!!! :) I'll be checking in all day for your beta numbers tomorrow! And trust me, you think you'll relax after your beta numbers tomorrow, but you won't b/c then you'll be waiting for them to double! And then you'll be waiting for your u/s, etc... It just never ends! lol :) I can't wait for the other girls to check in and see your news! :) When will you tell dh???

[dnikki0928]

Luvkayln: Thanks!! I can't believe I got a +ive! I'm only 10DPIUI! I am still cautious though...I go in for my beta in the morning - so as long as those numbers come in good, then I'll start to relax a little.

[luvkayln]

Dnikki- OMG, Congrats!!!! I'm so happy for you! Woo hoo!!! You must be over the moon right now! Yes, your numbers are going to be a great number, especially since they showed up on a digital!!! Wow, I'm just so happy for you! :) We're going to be super close in our pregnancy, that's awesome!! Congrats again!!!!!!

[dnikki0928]

kmcarino: Thanks :-) I'm being really cautious though... I go in first thing in the morning for a beta to see where my numbers are at. I think they are at least 50 since it came up on a clear blue easy digital...?

[kmcarino]

Congratulations!!!  I am so happy to hear that you got your bfp:)  Yes, this is it for you!!!  I am so excited for you!!!  Enjoy every moment!

[dnikki0928]
