Calling All Women of Strength!!!

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.

Hello to everyone.  Sorry I've been erratic lately.  I saw the doctor on Monday.  He looked at all my tests and said I looked o.k. in general.  However, my ovaries were over-stimulated, which he said was strange.  He ordered a new test for Philippe.  He has only 4% viable sperm, and it seems some of those may have "vacuoles," which are little bubbles that make miscarriage more likely.  They can perform IVF in such a way as to avoid the vacuole-ridden sperm.  I had long felt that my previous doctor didn't pay enough attention to our sperm issues.  The new doctor also had me do an hcg test.  On Monday night, it was still over 4,000, which seems very odd since we've known for 3 weeks that the pregnancy hadn't worked.  I faxed the results to the doctor on Friday because I hadn't heard from him.  He seemed really good, but I cannot understand a failure to speak to a patient about such test results.  Last night, I finally got my period, which was quite painful.  That's all I know for now.  

I'll try to check in more regularly, and I'm glad to see that many are doing so well.
