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.

Good afternoon, ladies!  So, my u/s and b/w today went well.  My estrogen is pretty high, 4000-something, so I'm not taking any more stims.  I'm continuing my Lupron & will go back tomorrow morning for another u/s & b/w.  My retrieval is expected to be Wednesday!!! =)  I have lots of follies & as of this morning, they're ranging from 13-18mm.  When I asked how many follies I have, the nurse & doctor both said, "A lot!" at the same time.  It was funny.  The nurse said they actually took measurements on 17 follies today!  My lining is 6.1, which is really exciting for me because it's never been thicker than 5 even on the day of iui.  So, I'm feeling good about that 'cause there's still time for it to thicken.  So, just wanted to give my update.  I hope you're all having a great weekend! =)

Thank you all so much. I just was expecting higher. In my info packet, it said that would like to see something between 50-100. grr..... then it said 5-45 most likely would be a chemical... so what about 46, 47, 48, 49... I feel like I am in a black hole. My beta is at 9:45, so 25 hr 15min later. I am hoping for a huge increase. I probably won't get the call until later in the afternoon. Usually, my RE calls on the weekends.

mommyin10- Congratulations on having 16!!  That is great!  

rachjas- I am thinking of you.  I know you must be so worried, but try to relax because worrying is not going to help.  I hope that your number triples by Sunday:)  In the meantime, try to take it easy.

We finally moved into our house today and are staying overnight for the first time:)  I have an appt. for my stim Day 5 blood work and u/s on Monday morning.  The shots are going well, except for some bad headaches from the Lupron.  

Have a nice weekend everyone:)  I can't wait to hear everyone's updates:)

My level was only 54 14dpo and I am 16 weeks pregnant. I still have cramps as well. Mostly from the uterus growing, but in the beginning it is usually from the embryo implanting. Keep positive. I will keep you in my thoughts

[dnikki0928]

Rachjas: Mine was only 55 and I had and STILL have cramps! Girl you ARE pregnant! You need to stay positive (although I know easier said than done...). Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...Good Luck!!

[mommyin10]

Oh, I know you were hoping for higher numbers, but remember when I got my BFP at 9dpo?  My beta was only 20.9. 48 is still PREGNANT & I know you're scared, but just stay confident & take it easy the next few days.  I'll be thinking of you & praying for your #s to more than double on Sunday!  Stay strong & best wishes =)

[rachjas0623]

Just got the call. It was only 48, 14dpo. Progesterone 27. I am cramping. Repeat Sunday. Not too confident.
