Women of Strength!!!

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.

BFP= Big Fat Positive (Positive pregnancy test)-- That's great your cycles are regular, that will help you a bunch on keeping track of your cycles. OK, cycle day 1 is the first day of your period or AF ( aunt flo). Once we know what cycle day ( or CD, for short) you are on, we can add you to our list and we'll know where you're at in your cycles. Do you know what day you started your period this month? If so, we can get you added to the list right away! :) Also, you'll want to find a remedy to know when you are ovulating. They have ovulation predictor kits ( or OPK's for short) that you can find by the pregnancy tests at the store, or you can chart your temps every morning. If you decide to do that, let us know, we can explain what to do there. :) Thank you for your sincerety on our horrible loss! But Kayln is taking great care of her mommy and daddy, because we're pregnant again! :) She's going to be a big sister in Heaven!! :)

I am soo sorry for you lost!!!! keep your head up high, it do get better with time, (like the wine commercial ;-). I t will be alright. You are right I have found some new friends that has really helped during my time of frustration.

In reference to this info you posted:
If you let us know what cycle day you are on, we will add you to our list. It kind of gives everyone an idea of where we're all at in our cycles, and once you get pregnant, you get to be on the BFP list.

Can you tell me how to actually track my cycle? May 1st is tomorrow and I want to start fresh. I do know I have a 28 cycle and I usually come on before the 10 day of each month, unless my cycle has changed. It has been before the 10th of each month since January, and what is BFP list?

Ladies, I am so sad! :( Baby possum died today!!! I thought he was  doing ok, but I guess he was just so young, he just needed his mommy! ;( If he would've been a  little older, at least had his little eyes open, I think he would've made it. But he was just so young! I started bawling when I saw him, and then just left him in the bathroom for Sean to come home and take care of it, and when Sean did, I was seriously bawling and very upset! I am glad though that he died in a warm little bed with his towel, and not outside in the pouring down rain and be all wet and cold. So for that, I am greatful. Sean buried him in the backyard. I took a picture of him, and this is the way I found him. He just looks so peaceful, almost like he's just sleeping. I'll upload it later tonight or tomorrow, I'm still just upset about it. It's funny how fast I got attached to him, and only had him for 2 days. Like Mommyin10 and my mom said, at least he got a lot of love for those 2 days...

Anyway..

garlattad- Welcome to our thread! :) You will find lots of wonderful ladies here, very supportive and just plain awesome!!!! I'm glad that your dh is now being very supportive of ttc, and working together on this is what will make it happen! :) Not just to make love of course, haha, but I mean emotionally too. It's a lot of work, especially if it doesn't happen right away. It becomes frustrating, but if you two just stick together, eventually your dreams will come true! I'm glad to see your dh is getting a SA test done, and you are getting a dye test done to check your tubes. That's probably one of the first steps that needs to be done, before you put a lot of time into it. If you let us know what cycle day you are on, we will add you to our list. It kind of gives everyone an idea of where we're all at in our cycles, and once you get pregnant, you get to be on the BFP list! ;) Good luck to you!!

dnikki- That's great you're not feeling too bad, but OMG, I totally hear ya on the sore boobs! That's exactly how I feel, and I keep meaning to go out and buy some sports bras because they are just so sore! It's probably a mixture of the hcg shot and after ovulatin, it's normal for them to be sore. But hopefully it's just preparing you for your BFP! :) Hope you had a great time at dinner with your family! :) Oh, and thanks for the congrats! ;)

Hi ladies  :-)

Luvkayln: Congrats on making it to 6 wks!! How do you feel?

Garlettad: Welcome!!!

I don't feel too bad - my left side can get pretty crampy at times and sometimes it feels like someone has a knife through my belly button...But as long as I get p/g and have a good p/g then I don't care!!! I'm still bloated, not as bad as I was and my bbs are absolutely killing me. I had to sleep with my sports bra on last night!!! I dread even taking my bra's off b/c they hurt so bad. I think it's from my trigger and also the injects...
Well DH, DS and I are going out for dinner, so I'll check in later tonight!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

Hello ladies!!!
I am new here I signed up lastnight and wanted to make new friends. Well I made a few already. (Excited!!!!!)

This was my delema:
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for two years now. I have tried pre-natal vitamins and I just ordered Geritol. Do anyone have ay suggestions for my husband and me? My husband works 11pm-7am and be so tired ha sleeps most of the day, so when I O he cant make love to me because he is tired and sleepy. I only O once a month and I cant even get his cooperation for this short period. This has frustrated me so much.It seems that I am the only one who want to get pregnant, when we both agreed on to ttc together!!!!!  

I have gotten some good feed back on my issue and I thank everyone who contributed and the ladies thats going to contribute.

Outcome of Issue:
Not fruastrated anymore ladies!!!!! I just signed up last night and have had a lot of support from the woman here my first night and I am greatful for that. I now know I am not the only one going threw this ttc stage. Thanks to all the women for your advice!!!!! I talked to my husband and now he have a better understanding of how conception works (not just one person and being cooperative when I'm O) He says when I tell him I am O he will make love to me no matter how tired he is, he will do it before he goes to sleep of course. He also is going to get a sperm count to make sure he is okay along with taking Geritol. And when I go to the doctors (not until June, what a long way off)I will ask that my tubes be check to make sure they are not blocked. This is now working out, WITH THE BOTH OF US!!!!!!!!SMILE.
