Calling all Women of Strength...

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 realiizes 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.

found this on 2ww.com - so true lol


You know you're TTC when...


- the Big 'O' no longer refers to orgasm, but instead to ovulation

- you show everyone who will look at your bbt charts

- every twinge is a potential sign: ovulation pain OR perhaps implantation

- it no longer strikes you as the least bit odd to check out at the pharmacy with both HPTs and tampons in your cart.

- you schedule your social events around your ovulation day

- if your OPK comes up +, you cancel all social engagements that night so you can BD & lie with your legs elevated and butt up in the air afterwards

- you talk using mysterious acronymns that only your ttc buddies understand: ttc, BD, ewcm, bbt, opk, 2ww

- your morning motto is: "Don't talk to me until I've taken my temperature"

- you take your temperature more than once a day (committed TTCer)

- you refuse to finish decorating that 3rd bedroom in your new house, because you can't stand the thought of getting it just the way you want it only to have to tear it apart next month in order to make room for the nursery you'll be needing.

- you put off buying any fall/winter clothes, because you hope they won't fit by the time the weather gets cooler.

- you clip coupons for OPKs and HPTs

- your doctor says, "Now take these home and inject this needle into your stomach every day" and you don't even flinch.

- you spend more on OPKs, HPTs, and fertility supplements than you do on clothes

- the thought of nausea makes your heart skip a beat!

- you make a mental note of what day of your cycle it is before you say "ok" to a drink

- you get sick but make sure you can take the medicine in case you are pregnant...and would rather stay sick if you can't take the medicine..

- you finally look forward to mornings! Another opportunity to take and record your temp!

- you refer (and think) of your husband, not as his real name, but as the letters "DH" in real life

- you suffer silently from Infertility Vision (IV) - defined as the ability to see pink lines that nobody else can see. It's a very common condition among POASers during the days leading up to the official test day. Research is still being done, but at present there is no cure for it!

Stacey:  Yay!!!  I'm so happy for you :)  I'm sure you will lead the way for the few of us who have been supporting each other since Day 1!  You & dh are so deserving & I'm just so happy for you!  When will you go back to your doc?  Congrats !!! :)

Candie:  Welcome back & congrats on your +opk!  Woo-Hoo!!! :)  Let me know when you want to be added to the dpo list.  I'm glad you had a nice, busy holiday :)  Are you back to work tomorrow or off another week?

Luvkayln:  I'm sorry you're feeling so down.  I sent you a message...  Since you wanted AF to show, I'm glad she did & she showed on Sat., the day you wanted her to! :)  Now we are 1 day apart!  I hope you can get in to see your RE tomorrow.  I'm sure they'll squeeze you in 'cause of the timing issues.  Take care :)

dnikki:  Happy almost anniversary! :)  How exciting to be seeing Trans Siberian Orch.!  They put on a great show, enjoy!!!

pyar:  I looked at your chart; and like I wrote to you, it's hard to know when you O'd 'cause you don't have AF & earlier temps listed.  I guessed Dec. 19 or 24, but you're indicating 9dpo... When I look back 9 days, I would guess you probably O'd 8 days ago only 'cause of the temp dip.  My temp always dips the day of O...  sorry I couldn't help, but I added you to the dpo list!  Congrats :)

leighanne:  I hope your hands/wrists feel better!  Take care :)  Not too much longer!!!  What is your due date?
