We are Women, Hear us Roar...
...in numbers too big to ignore, and I know too much to go back an' pretend,
'cause I've heard it all before, and I've been down there on the floor. No one's ever gonna keep me down again.
Oh, yes, I am wise, but it's wisdom born of pain. Yes, I've paid the price, but look how much I gained.
If I have to, I can do anything.
I am strong (strong)!
I am invincible (invincible)!
I am woman!
You can bend, but never break me 'cause it only serves to make me more determined to achieve my final goal.
And I come back even stronger, not a novice any longer, 'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul.
I am woman, watch me grow. See me standing toe to toe, as I spread my lovin' arms across the land.
But I'm still an embryo, with a long, long way to go, until I make my brother understand.
Oh, yes, I am wise, but it's wisdom born of pain.
Yes, I've paid the price, but look how much I gained.
If I have to, I can face anything.
I am strong (strong)!
I am invincible (invincible)!
I am woman!

Have you considered/trying acupuncture for your arthritis? It helps IMMENSELY and you can go off the drugs. I have been going for quite a while and it has helped me immensely with all my pains and problems.
I am glad to hear af still has not shown. Do you still have af like cramps like I had when I got pregnant?
Hi guys:
Thank you all for your words of support. I am really thinking I am pretty much out of IVF world. They think that my arthritis drugs (which help me move) maybe interracting with the fertility drugs. I can't go off the arthritis drugs completely or I am in alot of pain. So, I have the test on Friday - I don't think it will be good. And, we have an appt on Monday to talk options with the Dr. We may try an IUI this cycle with some donor sperm we have as a backup - not our first choice, but as DH and I discussed, we just want to get out of the gate ;-) Have to talk to DH more about this . . . I am worried he is agreeing to it not, b/c he is comfortable, but b/c he does not want me to be so sad.
Well, Onward and upward!
Enternidad and Guesito: Thanks so much for the kind words . . .
Mommyin09: Thanks for the note - I left you a message. I really appreciate it! This all is just not fair . . . You getting excited for the weekend? How is Huck holding up?
Stacey: Thanks! Unfortunately, they want at least 5 and my estrogen has to be higher to show that they are good follies. BUT, if a few are good - we may try IUI with the donor sperm. . . .
Luvkayln: You are always so supportive - Thank you. I am really happy AF has shown - maybe the cheer worked??? I hope the u/s goes well.
Guesito: Good luck tomorrow! WOO HOO first Beta . . .
Tracy: I am happy the transfer went well - sending karma and support . . . REST!
Candie: Thank you my friend . . . you too are a great support. I hope AF stays away and Friday brings us both good news . . .
DNIKKI: Happy recovery! Good luck with the Boards. Are you close to completion?
Leighanne: Thank you. How are you holding up mama to be. . . . .

Good morning ladies!
Mommyin09 - Wow...still no af?? That is great! I really hope she does not show!! Regarding our squirrel, I don't think the little gal made it unfortunately. She was making daily visits and we tried to catch her to take her to animal services (her hind leg was obvioulsy broken) but she was still able to move fast enough that we couldn't catch her. She was also able to climb trees...not very well, but she could. So we were hoping that she would heal and every time we saw her we would throw her peanuts and she would eat a bunch! However, we have not seen her since late last week and I have to think that she may not have made it. Poor thing. I still keep my eye out for her every day though.
Candie - Fingers crossed for you!! I hope af stays far far away!
GUESITO - Thanks so much for all the info and advice! I can't wait to hear about your beta results...woo hoo!
Arlotheslug - My heart breaks for you. I can't imagine your disappointment. But, it is still early and this could change. Please try to stay hopeful. Friday is still a couple of days away and time for those little guys to grow. Even if they can retrieve a few!! If nothing else I hope they can give you some answers. Thinking and praying for you and hope you see some positive results on Friday.
Luvkayln - Yeah for af! Finally! Good luck with your u/s tomorrow and your final round of clomid. It's great that you have a next step of going to injections...only if needed!
Joyce - Congrats on the heartbeat!
Tracy - Glad the transfer went well with your one little embryo! Good luck and glad to see you are resting. I am concerned about the "resting" after transfer because I do find it difficult also. I can't imagine 4 dogs!! I have one dog who loves attention and walks and not sure I can hold off on that for too long!
Have a great day. It's great to see our long BFP list...but there is a lot of room left on there. SSBD!!!

mommyin09 - I'm so happy that AF has still not shown for you! Thank goodness your squirrel didn't get swept away. I would have been freaking out too! Poor thing. As for me, I never make it to 14dpo, so I'm really over 1/2 way. Usually, I make it 10 days, so I should know by Friday.
luvkayln - OK, I'll say the opposite thing for you that I said for mommyin09 - Yay for AF! It's so funny that it means something so bad for some and so good for others. :) Good luck at the doctor.
Arlotheslug - Oh dear. I am so sorry. I hope you get better news on Friday.
Tracey - Glad the transfer went well. Good luck!
Joyce - That's so wonderful that you got to hear the heartbeat. Has to be the greatest sound in the world I'm sure.
eternidad - Thanks for the encouraging words. You are so right. We can't give up because I'm sure God has some wonderful things in store for us. We just have to be patient. It's certainly not easy sometimes, but that's what faith is all about. Congrats to you!
Guesito - In case I don't post again today, good luck with your beta tomorrow!

Hey Everyone.... WOW the BFP list has really grown!!! CONGRATS EVERYONE!!!
I hope everyone is doing well :-)
I had knee surgery last Tuesday... Everything is pretty good now, I still have soreness and limited movement but it gets better everyday.
As of right now, I'm waiting for AF to show... I'm on CD31 today. Sept was 30 days, October was 31 days, so I'm guessing I have one more day... I should be back in the TTC game around mid December!!! I take my boards in less than 2 wks (in which I should be studying for them right now...) I can't wait for them to be DONE!
DH and DS are doing good - DS came down with a cold yesterday... He's a little worse today but hopefully that means it's on it's way out already...
So there is my update :-)
Hope all is well!!
SSBD, Hugs, and Love :-)
