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.

ad_06: Happy Birthday!!! :)

sbumblebeeo: I agree, don't feel guilty for feeling the way you do. We're all here for you
& we all know how difficult the pregnancy has been for you. Like luvkayln, I've been enjoying mine, but she & I haven't been nearly as sick as you since day 1. We all have the same goals on this thread, to get that long-awaited BFP & to hold our beautiful, healthy babies :) Hang in there! Your anatomy scan will ease your mind, I'm sure :)

keyan: Your chart is looking soooo good! Okay, we'll pray for high temps & no AF & a
BFP in 5 days!!! I'm definitely rubbing the double belly for you! :)

Luvkayln: Your U/S pics are adorable as always, especially Miss Personality sticking out
her tongue! :-) Too cute! I'm so happy everything went well at your appt. & you've got
her b-day set! Yes, the 7th & 17th are perfect! I hope dh feels better soon! Poor guy ;(

luvkayln- I am so happy that your last appt went so well and that Addy is doing great breathing very well on her own!  You asked me a question before and I forgot to answer, so I wanted to tell you that I don't know how to post pictures on here and also that my mom has my scanner at her house, so sorry, I won't be postiong any of my ultrasound pictures:(

sbumblebeeo- I am sorry that you have been having constant headaches.  It would be very hard to enjoy pregnancy when you feel like **** all the time, so don't feel bad.  We all understand.  I can't wait to find out if you are having a boy or a girl:)  Hang in there.  It has to get better...you'll see.

mommyin10- Only a week to go before your anatomy scan:)  Time is flying so that is good!  I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow an dwill have my next ultrasound.  The VBS testing will probably be in two and a half weeks.

Lina- I am very sorry about your negative beta:(

Luvkayln - I think my linning was 5 something. This cycle had been going pretty quickly. I tested this morning and got a negative. So we will see what tomorrow brings with the u/s and all. I will def get the progesterone this time. I am getting so excited.

Well I better get ready for work, today is my birthday.....yipee (lol) But today is my long day so I won't even get home from work til 8ish tonight :( Oh well maybe we can go out to dinner tomorrow after my appt.

Luvkayln-  Thanks for the note and thanks for the novel.  I read it all and I am soo happy for you.  I can't wait to see all that.  Just a few more days and we'll no longer have an "it" we'll have a boy or girl.  I am trying to focus on that and less that there is enevitably something wrong.  Such a downer I can be sometimes....  Poor DH.  How in the world did he break his collar bone?  You knew we would ask.  I hope for a speedy recovery for him he is about to be a dad again!  We need him healthy for those 3:00am diaper changes LOL.  Take Care, I am so happy you are relaxed and happy.

Keyan-  Thanks again for your note and message.  You seem so sweet.  I am hoping you get your BFP soon and join us on the list!!!!

Luvkayln: Congrats on a great appt yesterday!! YAY for the 7th!!! OMG, I can't beleive the countdown actually started!! I am so excited for you and Dh!! Thanks for the good wishes for me!! ..I am starting to get nervouse!

Sbumbleebeo: Like I said on the note, we are all here for you! Don't worry for feeling sick and wanting to have your baby in your arms and skip this whole 9 months thing! probably everyone feeling sick would feel the same! I pray you start feeling better and that the rest of your pregnancy you feel excelent and are able to enjoy it.

Mommyin10: Well I was thinking more like at 17dpo, only because I am not really sure if I did Oed or not and just to give it some time...lets see how my temps behave and of course if AF stays away.

scripps: I will be thinking of you tomorrow, hoping for a great surprise!

Ladies: keep rubbing your bellys for me, Please!!

My appointment went great today! :) At our u/s's, Addy is given a 30 minute time frame to do certain things such as breathing, move so much, etc. Well, our 1st timed u/s was 3 weeks ago, and she took the whole 30 minutes and needed the buzzer to scare her to get her breathing; last week she only needed about 20 minutes and I had to roll on my side to get her to practice breathing; BUT this time she only needed 5 minutes! and was breathing as soon as the nurse started the u/s and was SO active! It was awesome! Each week she's improving so much and I'm just so proud of her! :) My NST went great also! I kept having to hold the hb monitor down on her b/c she was doing so much moving it couldn't keep an accurate read on her! lol ;) I guess she just really enjoyed that banana we ate for breakfast! Haha!! :) I didn't get a weight on her b/c apparently we're only supposed to do her measurements every 3 weeks, so that was a bummer but at least I know she's doing great!! My induction date is schedule for December 7th and we go in at 6 am!! Yay!! My doctor said she'll check my cervix the week before, which will be Dec. 1st and my last appt! :) and if my cervix is hard as a rock and not thinning out at all yet, she'll have me come in the night before and start my induction then just so I'm not in the hospital forever, which is awesome! Either way, she'll be born on the 7th and then Kayln's birthday is 10 days later on the 17th! I think that's cool! :) I got a few new pics of her today, in one of them she's sticking out her tongue at us! lol ;) She was just so cute today, showing off her little personality! OMG, i feel like I'm writing a novel! Sean wasn't able to come with us today b/c he broke his collar bone! :( He has an appointment in the morning with the surgeon to go over his xrays from the ER from last night, and then we'll schedule his surgery. He's in a lot of pain right now, but I'll keep you guys posted on his progress!

sbumblebeeo: Sweetie, don't feel bad! We all know what you're saying! It's hard being pregnant sometimes, and we know you just want to get through it and get your baby safely  here!! I swear the day we found out, I was like " OK, I'm ready to deliver!" lol ;) I do love being pregnant, but I've been lucky and have had an easy pregnancy (knock on wood!!) but we're not all the same and pregnancy definately affects people differently! :) Your anatomy scan will go just fine, don't you worry about that! I totally understand about your nightmares, I have them all the time too! And I swear my hb monitor is just a godsend, especially when she's not being very active or if my mind starts playing tricks on me!

Keyan- Awww, thanks! :) It's funny b/c I literally look like ALL pumpkin in the pic! lol ;) Tell dh thank you too! :) I agree with Mommyin10, your chart looks great and I'm crossing everything that yesterday's temp was implantation! I can't wait for test day!! :)

Ok, I'll upload my new pics now! :)

mommyin10-  I'm here.  I guess I just don't have anything to report but these headaches never seem to get better.  I can't barely stand it anymore.  One monday when I see the doctor I am going to ask if he can give me something for it.  I waited untilt the second trimester for it to get better like the book said, nothing.  I bought new glasses $400.00, nothing.  I take sinus meds daily, they help a tiny bit.  I do ice packs and they only work while the ice is there.  Nothing helps.  I hate to complain but I wake up with a headache and go to bed with a headache every day.  I hope he has some idea.  
On top of that...Most people get excited about their upcoming doctors appointments...me not so much.  I start having nightmares.  Sunday was really bad so last night I went to bed at 7:45 and slept the whole night through.  I have so many nightmares.  This time the doctor told me he couldn't find her heartbeat anymore and they would have to take out the baby.  I couldn't sleep so at 5:00am I got out the heartbeat monitor until I found it.  It helps in that moment.  

I can't really say that I enjoy being pregnant and I feel like that makes me horrilbe.   We worked so hard and so long for a baby and I secretly feel like I hate being pregnant.  I just want to skip this whole 9 month ordeal and get what I really want... a perfectly healthy baby.  Everyday has been physically hard on me in some way or another.  There isn't anyone that I feel I can talk to b/c my family just says "this is what you wanted" which it is.  And on here.... I feel so guilty b/c I know what it's like to go through the TWW and get the BFN's time after time.  I know they all feel like they would be happy to have a headache everyday if that meant a baby and I do too.  It's just hard day after day.  

I bet you are sorry you asked...  sorry.  I don't usually vent that much.  I saw your picture.  You look great.  I can't wait for your anatomy scan.  I can be excited about yours...I'm just fearful about mine.  :(

Take Care and Thanks for being here all the time.

You really looked adorable! ...I know when Addy grows up, she is going to love that pic! ...I saw your note..thanks! ...and probably I will just wait it out, and maybe if no AF by next Monday, I will test then...of course If I start feeling any symptom, other than feeling like AF is just around the corner, I will test sooner.

Jmh2005- I'm sorry AF showed and I'm sorry you're not feeling well! I hope you start to feel better soon so you can be ready for this cycle! ;)

LinaG- I'm so sorry your beta was negative! :( I was holding out so much hope for you sweetie! I guess that progesterone just really delays your cycle! If anything, now you know what to expect from it, ya know? I am glad to see you are still so positive, and you are right, it is ALL in God's hands and your time is coming soon! :) Will you do iui again this cycle do you think? Ok, time to cheer AF on!!!

Mommyin10- Your new pic is absolutely awesome! You look GREAT!! :) I'll update asap after my appointment today! I can't wait to see how much Addy has grown! I hope she didn't gain a whole pound again this week! At the rate she's been going, I'll be having a 10 pound baby! Yikes!! lol ;)

Scripps- I'm so sorry about your low beta number! I too am not really sure on what your numbers should be, but I'm thinking the progesterone should be at least a 10 in a non-medicated cycle and at least a 15 in a medicated cycle. I'm not sure if that's different with IVF tho? Do you still have a repeat beta on Thursday? Hopefully you'll get a suprise BFP! Your numbers have to start out somewhere, so hopefully you get a great number then!

Ad_06- Thursday will be here before you know it! :) Hopefully you'll see more follies than last month since they upped your dose this cycle! What was your lining at last time, do you remember? It was obviously nice and thick since AF lasted longer this time, which is awesome! :) Be sure and get progesterone this time too after O to help that baby that's coming!! ;) Yayyy for starting opk's tomorrow!! This cycle is moving right along already! :)

Dnikki- Be safe and have fun! :)

Thanks ladies for all the photo comments of Addy's first halloween!! :) I'll update after my appointment later on! We're taking our tour of labor and delivery at the hospital today too since we've never been to this hospital before. I also got Addy's pediatrician lined up yesterday, so it's all coming together nicely and getting more and more real that she's almost here! Yay! :)  Gotta jump in the shower now and get ready! Hope everyone has a great day!! :)

Scripps:  I'm sorry about the low beta.  I don't know much about your hormone numbers, but I do believe my estrogen was very high even before the transfer.  I can look it up, but I think it was in the 5000s?  I can't remember as far as the progesterone numbers go...  Take it easy moving boxes & good luck on Thursday!

Keyan:  How are you feeling?! :)

I uploaded a new pic from our concert last night!  dh got us VIP tickets to see Rob Zombie, which included a meet & greet before the show.  We were able to talk to him before he took a pic. I told him we were pregnant & wanted to see how our babies liked his music.  heehee :)  He said, oh, no!  Don't let me see you up front :)  He was very personable, but I got nervous & didn't take the best pic!  Oh, well!  We had a great time.  Dh won a raffle and got a free shirt, plus we were able to go to the merchandise booth before the general public, so I got a hoody, dh got another shirt & then they gave us a goodie bag, too, which had another shirt, key chain, etc.  We were able to go to the very front, but it was all general admission, standing only.  I didn't think I could handle that, so we sat in "disabled" seating, which was awesome because we could sit with no one directly in front of us & when I stood, I had a great view :)  We had a fun time & now I'm exhausted!  Gotta get ready for work :)

I had my first blood test today, and the hcg was 1, so either it didn't take at all, or it took for 10 minutes a few days ago.  Obviously, I'm feeling terribly demoralized.  Every time I do this, I'm told that although we don't get a lot of embryos, they look very good, so I can only assume there's some problem with my uterus and implantation.  I also did hormone testing today, and wonder if anyone on here can give me feedback about the numbers.  Estrogen: 46.  LH: .5, Progesterone: 14.3
From what I can glean online, the estrogen is really low--it went from 1000 on 10/16 to 46 today.  Also, I think the progesterone should be over 20.  Does anyone know anything about these numbers or can compare them to their own numbers 12-14 days after transfer?
I have another blood test to do on Thursday to see what happens.  We're moving tomorrow, so have to go pack boxes.  All the best to everyone and thank you for any information you may have.

Mama of 2 beautiful baby angels in 2010 :) - I'm sorry that I haven't write you in this thread for a long time.
Yes I'm today 18dpiui & no AF yet.
I have done Beta on 16dpiui and it was negative. As I told U & another girls here that I'm in God hands & I didn't want to test till tomorrow Monday.
But I was 15 days on progesterone suppositories after IUI & my med help friend Linda suggested me to do beta test ASAP because if I'm pregnant I will need progesterone more. I phoned my clinic told them that I'm 16dpiui with no AF, they told me to go immediately for Beta test since my ObGyn told me to test on 15dpiui.
Medical sister told me to continue with progesterone suppositories and to do another Beta in 2 days or if AF shows to stop progesterone. No AF today:)
If AF doesn't show tomorrow I will go after work to do another Beta.
Thank U very much for rubing your belly for me!:)
God bless U and take good care of you!:) HUGS

To ALL - Happy Halloween and God bless U all!:)
SSBD & Love,
Lina
