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.

Well, dh & I had such a great time fishing!  It was so much fun to get away for even a short time & just enjoy ourselves =)  He had chartered a boat for my upcoming b-day & the boat holds 6 people, so we invited three of his co-workers (one is a married couple), the other is the woman's son & then he brought his father-in-law.  We boarded the boat Thursday night & started fishing early Friday morning just off the coast of Catalina Island.  We were looking for yellowtail & I caught my 1st one!  I actually caught two, which was awesome.  Really hard work, but fun ;)  The tradition when you catch your first yellowtail is to eat the heart... no kidding!  So, I ate it & I have to say I surprised a few of the big guys onboard!  Haha!  Anyway, we got home late last night & then just relaxed & cleaned our gear today.  We're cooking fish tonight =)  I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Sry I have been MIA. Yesterday, the day after ER, we got our call around 11. Of the 22, 16 were mature. Of those 16, 6 fertilized with ICSI and 3 were discarded. The remaining 7 needed to 'grow' a little before being fertilized. Needless to say.. I wasn't to happy.. well optimistic after that call. The lady said 'if anything changes we will call you back this afternoon.' Well, I never did get a call. That made things worse. So, I woke up this AM not knowing when to expect a call.... I got one at 9:30. First of all, I was happy they did call and I was happy they called early!

Of the 6 that were good yesterday... 4 of them were graded 1.5 (3 of them 4 cell and 1 was 2 cell), the other 2 were graded 2.0 (both of them 4 cell)... so, all 6 of those are doing well

Of the 7 they were waiting on... 5 were discarded and 2 are great, graded 1.5 (both 4 cell)

I am in a much better mood today. I am more optimistic. It sounds like the 8 I have now... are doing pretty well. They even told me that they would call me tmw. So, it sounds like I will be doing a 5dt (5 day transfer), that means Wednesday!

ALL- Thank you all so much for your notes and well wishes! Tmw was just a very stressful day!

Mommyin10- I am sry you are experiencing headaches. Have you tried tylenol extra strength?

Well, stims are going well.  I've had a major headache since Friday & I'm SO tired.  I feel like this AF is so different, probably because of the bcps and Lupron, but ever since it started I've felt like this.  We got up to do our two injections this morning, then went back to bed & I didn't wake up til 10:00!  Crazy! :)  Now I'm getting ready to meet my girlfriends for lunch.  Hope you all have a great day!

Stacey:  That's great that your floors are being done this week!  You will definitely love them, I'm sure! =)  We finished our floors in our front room & it looks beautiful!  The rooms look bigger and cleaner to ;)  Yeah, my ER should be early next week...  I guess we'll see with my upcoming b/w and u/s, but they said it's generally 11 days after I start my stims ;)

ad_06:  This is a long cycle, huh!?  Will you see your doc at all or just wait it out?  Good luck! =)

Guesito:  That is great news!  Congrats =)  Is your reversal scheduled already?  How's your daughter doing?

Joyce:  Yes, let us know when you post new pics of the big guy! =)

[ad_06]

I really don't have an update... I'm on CD 33 and still no AF. BBs did eventually get sore, but nothing major. So this cycle is completely wacko!! I don't know what's going on this cycle. I guess I'll wait and see if AF comes.....I hate having these long drug out cycles!!!  

I'm glad to see that everyone else is doing good and moving forward! I can't wait to join everyone!!

Good luck to all the ladies TTC and the ladies with the BFP's I hope everything continues to go smoothly!!!

[Stacey1718]

Mommyin10 - Wow you are moving right along!!  That is awesome and I honsetly can't believe how quickly your ER and transfer is coming up.  I've already started to rub my belly for you!  Regarding this week we are moving into my parents house on Thursday probably until Sunday.  The work starts Thursday morning.  We are finally taking out the carpet and exposing/refinishing the original hardwood.  I have wanted to get it done for a long time and finally it is getting done!!  But it is a pain because we need to empty rooms and pack up stuff because of the sanding and varnishing.  Ugh!  It better look good that is all I can say! :)

GUESITO - Great news!  Do you know when you could actually get the tubal reversal?  How invasive is it?  Very excited for you.

Well, I am up early again this morning.  Sleeping in is getting harder and harder...probably a good thing to get used to! :)

Enjoy your Sunday's everyone :)

hello ladies sorry i have been MIA... been very busy with Daniel. He is one month old today, and is just a gem. he got weighed and measured on friday and weighed in at 10lb 13oz and was measured at 20 1/2 inches long
keep in mind he was 8lb 8oz and 19 3/4 at birth only a mere month ago... the boy can eat.. ***** down 4-6 oz every 3-4 hours... which is normal but it is crazy how fast he is growing... i will have to take new pics and upload them soon... i will let you know when i do so.

good luck to you all and i hope to see that BFP list grow grow grow
