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 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.

Good morning everyone, and what a wonderful day it is!

I'm cd19, but no signs of O.  Which is okay.  We're taking time off so I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

Well, all my worries from yesterday are gone.  I prayed and freaked out and stressed out all night about our financial issues.  

This morning I logged on to our bank to check our account and guess what....
Our tax return hit.  Not only that, but our tax guy got the amount wrong. BY 500 DOLLARS!  So we ended up getting back 500 dollars MORE than we expected.  Then, DH's pay check hit our account, which is normal. But there's also something else in there.  We had another deposit hit for 250 dollars.  It's still in processing so I dont' know where it's from yet.  But wow.... I'm so less stressed now. God provides!

Dh is doing okay. Still having work troubles, but he's dealing.  I'm looking forward to the weekend. I have been thinking about buying some over the counter pain pills.  I haven't slept more than 3 hours any night this week.  And that was a GOOD night.  I'm so tired and I don't know why I'm having sleep trouble.  But I'm thinking about taking some sleeping pills this weekend so I can get a good night's sleep in.  Does anyone know a good one to take?  I don't really want to take anything that I could get addicted to, but I don't know if there's anything like that out there.

Well as usual, you've all made me feel better!  It's so typical of me...any day off I have I tend to get down when I spend time alone, I especially miss my dad (passed away Nov.23rd) and that sets off the melancholy.  He knew how much I wanted more children and when he was sick would ask me how I was feeling and if the pregnancy was going well...it was hard to remind him I'd miscarried.  Maybe he's got God's ear right now, one can hope.  Thanks daddy.  I'm turning 47 tomorrow and know this is my last shot, just one, not asking too much I think.  Nancy Grace got 2 at 47...could happen.  
Stacey-your words helped so much, thank-you, you and that baby stay well.
Arlo-your turn is coming, you so deserve it, we all do!  Thanks again everyone,stay strong!

Arlo: Thanks for the thoughts :-D I am going to injectables, but I have 15 pens donated by a drug rep so I am very thankful for that. I just hope the first cycle works b/c I can't afford injectables month after month lol! What were you on?

rachjas: I commented on your post, I hope my info was a little useful :-D

[rachjas0623]

I am sooo discouraged.  I have been Oing normally pretty much the entire time I have been ttc. I normally O later in my cycle. But since I have had my HSG, LAP, been on clomid and this cycle femara.. It keeps getting early. Last Sunday, I had an U/S to check my follies with femara.  I had one my bad side that was 7-8 and one on my good side 23.  I got the trigger then... and had my 1st IUI Monday (30 hrrs. later).  The day after my trigger, the morning of my IUI my...my temp was high for me.. like after O temp. I think it was because I got up to use the potty and I kept tossing and turning... the injection site was hurting really bad.  The day after me IUI, my temp dropped tremendously. Then had gradually gone up from there. On my monitor I got a peak reading the day of my IUI and the day after. Then wed it went to high and today it is low. Did I really O? Luckly, my nurse called Wed. and said the doctor wanted me to get bw.  She wants to check my progesterone.  That will tell me if I O'd right? What's a good number? But questions... why is she checking it on CD 19?....only 4dpiui....ohh I am rambling.. please help!

Hi everyone,
My day is gearing down (or at least I am gearing down), so I thought I would pop in.  I swear the cats are preparing us for baby time - Savana and Alice (who sleeps in our bedroom with us) were fighting and keeping us up - and when I can't sleep, my mind wanders - so not much sleep last night.  I swear I am going to collapse!  And we have to get a hot water heater - but it could always be worse .. . .

Babyny:  I agree with everyone - you are very early.  I have to admit, your strength is a great inspiration for me.  

Dnikki:  I am sorry about the BFN, but am glad you are moving foward.  I did not have such a great reaction to injectibles, but I think that is b/c of my arthritis.  I did not find the shots that bad.  I wish I could give you my extras .  . .

Stacey:  Have fun telling tomorrow!  That is so exciting - enjoy it!

Luvkalyn:  What a bizarre story - how sad too.  I understand drug addiction, but I have a really hard time with parents doing that.  It is one thing if it is just you, but you have a responsibility.  I know this may sound heartless, but this feeling is why I can't forgive Kurt Cobain, etc. . . . Like you, I REALLY want AF to show - so I can just get started!

Candie:  I hear ya . . . ah well, it is the price we pay for good football teams ;-)

Mommyin09:  PLEASE bring the sun!

Mrspace:  Good luck, but also, like Guesito says, please be careful.  I am a little suspicious as well.  I know a house can be terribly exciting . . .

Guesito:  I know it is hard, but I am glad you are moving forward . ..  

Kenyan:  I really think the snuggle time is soothing for the soul . . .

Happy Thrusday!
Going home in the snow!

Be really careful!! I work in the industry and there is no way they can rise your score by you paying a credit card. Maybe the underwriter would only approve your loan if you ARE under certian amount of debt but as far as rising your score it doent sound right.. They are not the credit agency they are only a lender/Broker and have no say so in your score...Ask questions and research. Good luck I hope everything turns out ok.. We ecstatic when we bought our home... I can relate!

AFM-feeling better.. Momma wanted me to have a baby with dh sooooooo we are moving forward..... Im guessing a FET March/April maybe...
