Women of Strength!

[mommyin10]

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.

I've had a busy weekend, so haven't really had a chance to check in with you all.  I took an hpt this morning & it was negative, plus my temp dropped a bit.  I think I'll stop my progesterone tomorrow if my temp continues to drop.  So, on Friday, I picked up my parents from the airport.  They were on a 3 1/2 week cruise through China, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore...  It was great to see the & hear their amazing stories! :)  Saturday I had to attend a seminar from 8 a.m.-7p.m., so it was a loooong day!!!  Today I got up and went to Pilates & now I'm just catching up on laundry, cleaning, etc. & dh and I are gonna watch a movie & then take Carmelo for a walk.  We're loving his new schedule, by the way :)

Arlotheslug:  I'm SO happy that Alice will be okay!!!  What a scare you & dh had!  Thank God she'll be okay :)  Your boot camp schedule is unbelievable!  Are you continuing with it this week, too?  I'm so impressed!  I've been keeping up the pilates classes 3-4 times/week & the spinning once a week.  This week I plan to go Wed. and Sat.  We'll see! :)

Candie:  Thanks for hoping I'm the next bfp! :)  I really appreciate your support.  Doesn't look likely this time, but as you know, it's okay...  I know with dh's new schedule, we'll be so much more relaxed this time around :)  How are you doing?

Luvkayln:  I'm so excited for you!  This will be a busy week, with your u/s & HSG.  I'm so happy everything is working out for you :)

Stacey:  How are you feeling?  Do you have another appt scheduled?  I hope the bleeding has stopped & you're feeling much better, especially since you can move about a bit more.  Take care! :)

Keyan:  How is the Lupron treating you?  Did you keep up the Zumba classes all last week? :)

Lina:  Will you test soon?

mrspace:  That's great that your u/s is this week!!!  How exciting :)

LinaG- Yes, you were sooo right about the hsg! :) With my last hsg, they didn't realize I was pregnant. I had NO clue I was either! So when they did the hsg, they immediately saw the sac in my uterus, and that's when everyone started freaking out! I was cramping so bad!! So once everyone started freaking out, I started freaking out b/c no one was telling me what was going on. Just that my uterus was too big! So  they finally said they thought I was pregnant, and I just laughed at them b/c I just knew I wasn't! So they had me do a pregnancy test, and sure enough, it was +! :) I had an u/s immediately, and there was Kayln with her perfect little heart beating! It was the best day of my life!!

Leighanne- Thank you so much for the baby dance! ;) I'm really hoping the hsg will really help us out this cycle! I've heard it helps, even if your tubes aren't blocked b/c the dye just expands your tubes. And it having been done just a week before O, hopefully it'll do the trick! :)

Candie- I'm with mommyin09, we're gonna pray extra hard for you!! :) You're in this game with us, and you have a great chance too! I'm hoping that we all get our BFP's together! That would be awesome! Then we could join Stacey, and the original 4 will be celebrating the next 9 months together! Well, Stacey will be a little ahead of us ;) but she's not going anywhere!! :)

mrspace- see i told you it was multiples with a number that high(i might just be the baby whisperer).......BIG HUGE CONGRATS.  wow 3 little ones, that is great.

;uvkayln- so glad you hsg went well.  i started to think i was the only one whose hsg did not hurt because everyone else tells me horror stories about theirs.  hopefully you will get your BFP now that the doctor cleared those tubes.  i am doing a little baby dust dance for you right now,

alrotheslug- wow, this birth mom is lie an angel from above.  i can not wait to share lil boy stories with one another come June.

I have very low internet connection I don't know why, & I hate that, but **** happens! I'll try anyway if U get this it will be fine.

Arlotheslug* Congratulations for your first meeting.:) I'm very happy for U & DH. I'm glad that everything went well with surrogate mother!:) U too deserve this baby angel boy more than anyone & he deserve to be with people like U too. God bless all of U!:) Would U like to be present in delivery room?

Mamushko* Thank U dear for your notes and well wishes I need them a lot.
I don't understand what uterine lining means? What is its function?

LuvKayln* I'm happy for you very much. I told U that HSG will pass in a minute & you are perfectly clean road YEA!:). Hit the road girl with your boy:)
I'm sorry that U had problems before, but I'm surprised how they did HSG on U when you were pregnant already?!? They could hurt the fetus don't U think? But I'll leave the past behind and tell U that I'm expecting a sunshine from U very soon. Good luck with follie check & wish U a blessed next week for U!!!:) SSBD = BFP:)

Stacey* I'm happy for U & your baby angel too, grow baby grow:) Please rub you belly from me also:)
I'm terribly sorry for Jessie RIP. My love goes to your parents!

Keyan* I'm very sorry about your weekend, but I'm glad you're back to a normal life. Thanks so much for your answers & well wishes :)  I'm discovering new thinks LOL. God bless U

Candie*  Thank you for the lovely note and your support. I'm sorry that your AF came but I'll welcome her now & tell her that she is not welcomed next month & so on & on!:)) God bless

WOW Tomorrow is the registration Daddy day!!!:) so it will be busy day for me & DH. It will be tough for me since I'm his witness in State building & I agree he to get married with his women?!?. Now I feel sad & think that I betray my MAMA RIP :((( O Lord Stand by me. I'll describe the hole ceremony another time. I'm tired already I need some sleep.

Girls good night from me & happy tomorrow morning!:)
SSBD,
Lina

Mrspace ~ Congrats!!! I bet you were surprised!! Happy healthy 9 months!!

As for me, I am going to the RE tomorrow, If I get a smiley in the morning, then we will do IUI tomorrow, I guess if not, I'll just have an U/S to see how many follies are there. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Does anyone have any idea of what a "reactive" pap is?? When I had mine in Aug of 08 it was reactive and then I had to have another one done in Feb 09 and I got the results today, and it's still reactive???? They keep telling me that it's not "abnormal" , but wtf? I have never had them come back like that before. Have any of you ladies??

Thanks

I sent you a note earlier, but a big congrats to you & dh! I'm sure it's a shock, but I can imagine how blessed you must feel! :) Share u/s pics soon!

[mommyin10]

Arlotheslug: Thanks :) I'm now thinking of trying IVF after two more cycles of trying on our own. If the meds will thicken my lining & I don't have the risk of multiples, maybe that's my best option... I read that exercise is really helpful as far as kicking our ovaries into gear & thickening our lining, too, so hopefully I'm on the right track :)

Luvkayln: I forgot to mention, my pattern isn't as accurate as it used to be. I O'd on cd14 last cycle, but it's usually cd14-16, so we'll still be close :)

Jmh2005: Woo-hoo! That's great news :) Dont be worried at all about your iui. I've only had 2, but they were both quick & painless. Your doc will insert a speculum, then your dh's swimmers through a catheter. The catheter is super small, so you probably won't even feel it. My second iui, I felt a very minor cramp, but it seriously was nothing major. After that, I laid on the table with my knees up, feet flat for maybe 20 min & that's it! Good luck tomorrow! I'll be looking forward to your update :)
