Calling All 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.

mrspace:  Sorry about AF ;(

kmcarino:  For you, I'm happy AF showed! :)  Now you can move forward.  Sounds like an exciting month for you & let's hope it's a lucky one for you & dh!

babynr:  So nice to hear from you & it's exciting to hear that you'll soon be transferring 3 little ones.  Best wishes to you & your dh! :)

dnikki:  Sorry about jury duty.  I know things are probably different in our states, but we have the one day/one trial procedure, so that if you don't get picked today, you'd be done for the year.  I'm sure you've already gone, but my suggestion would have been to mention in the jury room your situation & if they just tell you to discuss it with the judge when/if you get assigned, then ask the judge for a "side bar" and speak to him/her privately.  I can't imagine he/she wouldn't be understanding, just with my experience.  Good luck!!!

Candie & Keyan:  I'm holding out all hope for you two!!!  Fingers are tightly crossed ;-)

Lina:  Thanks for updating our list while I was gone! :)

Joyce:  I'm glad to hear everything's going well, especially between you & your baby's dad :)

Stacey:  No, I didn't chicken out!!!  I actually had to stand up at a microphone in front of everyone (which is totally crazy for me) and my question was:  when will I have my first child...  the answer was in 4 years & it will be a boy!!!  So, my first thought was that because I look young, that was a good guess for her.  We shall see & hopefully I prove her wrong!!!  We had a great time :-)

wishandaprayer:  I'll be thinking of you today!  Best of luck to you!!! :)

I'm so happy your appt went so well & your estrogen level is where it should be :)  If your follies are around 15mm, they'll be nice & big by the time your iui comes around & how cool to do it on your b-day :)  You will definitely have an exciting weekend!!!

[kmcarino]

My appt. went well.  I am so excited to report that my estrogen is 1224 which is very high for this early on.  I lowered the dosage of the Gonal starting today so hopefully the level will nto get too crazy.  They could not see the follicles well enough to measur emost of them due to bowel issues.  Anyway, they did measure a 15 and two 12s but there are a ton of follicles and the estrogen level proves that so I am ecstatic!!  I go in again on Tuesday.  I hope the follicles do not get too big.  It looks as though the IUI may fall on my birthday, this coming Sunday the 15th!  That would be awesome to conceive that day!  My 6th wedding anniversary is Feb. 14th too.

Good luck to everyone!!

wishandaprayer:  It's good to hear from you!  Let us know if you cave in & test.  Still no +opk & I am working hard ;-)

kmcarino:  How'd your appt go today?

luvkayln:  I'm glad you were able to spend time with Kayln this weekend!  I still don't have my +opk, but will keep testing.  dh has to be at work early tomorrow & Tues (too early to provide his sample before going to work), but he is planning to come home for an hour on the day of iui.  I am so relaxed this cycle that I feel like just saying let's not do the iui if it's that much of a hassle...  It's funny, but I don't even want to worry about anything this time around :) We'll see!  Anyway, if we do iui, looks like Tues or Wed now :)

[wishandaprayer]

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!!

Just wanted to give an update and check on everyone. I am 5dp5det. Well, I feel absolutely normal, and I am trying to stay away from the HPT! I will let everyone know when I go running for the medicine cabinet to grab that stick....

Any words of wisdom for me?

ad_06 sorry about the bfn-lets not give up yet though!

Mommyin09-get to work this weekend if you get the +, (or if not lol)

[dnikki0928]

I hope you ladies are having a good weekend :-) I guess I just want to clarify about the cyst. I shouldn't have called it a cyst - it's not from the clomid but from O'ing - I think it's called a corpus luteum (sp?), so that is what is so freakin big lol! I'm guessing it's a good thing...?

Mommyin09: I hope you get your +OPK this weekend!!!

[luvkayln]

mommyin09- That's awesome you should be getting your +ve opk tomorrow or Monday! Wow, your iui is just a few days away! How exciting!! :) That's awesome you're taking this cycle stress free. It just feels great, doesn't it? :) I know, now that you're over the initial shock of not getting your +ve by Christmas, you just have the whole year to look forward to b/c you know it will happen for you this year! I just went and saw Kayln, the weather is just awesome here! Windy, but finally can wear flip-flops! :) Hope you and dh are having a wonderful weekend, and I hope you have a nice, relaxing week off from work! It will be perfect timing with your iui! Then you can spend the day relaxing afterwords so those little swimmers can do their job! :) What do you plan on doing for the rest of the week off?

kmcarino- Congrats on your E2 levels being so great! :) I know you're so relieved and getting more and more excited for this cycle! I have a good feeling! ;) Good luck at your u/s tomorrow! Grow, follies grow!!!

dnikki- Ouch, a cyst at 42! Wow! I had 2 cysts on my right side, and he measured them together and it was 72! I think they're still there though, b/c both sides have been hurting and my RE said it may take me longer to ovulate this cycle since there were 2 of them. That's great you ovulated 1 egg though, and dh's motility is awesome so you have a great chance! :) Good luck!!

ad_06- Sorry about the bfn and that su cks that you feel like Af is on her way! :( Hopefully not, and you have a BFSuprise coming your way instead! Good luck!!

Candie- Hope you are enjoying your stress free cycle! :) Good luck!!
