CALLING ALL WOMEN OF STRENGTH!!!

[dnikki0928]

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.

Hi ladies! I got my +opk on Thursday (CD 14) and another one on Friday! So according to my tracker, I'm 2 dpo today, although I really think it's 3dpo b/c I didn't feel any O pains past Friday. Oh well, at least I'm in my 2ww! :) We bd'd Wed thru Fri so we'll see! I'm thinking I may follow bfromthed and have a progesterone test done just to make sure?? Although I'm pretty sure b/c I'm not having O pains at all anymore, and that's my key sign... I'll probably still have it checked though! lol!
Bfromthed- I'm sure if you would've waited one more day it would've been more accurate, and would've showed that you did in fact O! I would call and double check with your Dr. Maybe you can have another one done just to reassure yourself! :)

Dnikki- Mommyin10 texted me that too! That's SO gross! Uugh!! I put Addy on Enfamil and seems to be doing great with it! Hopefully Peyton will adapt ok too! :) Lucky you, wish I had some time off from work too! ;)

Krichar- Yayyy!! Look at you! I LOVE how positive you are! :) I agree, this IS your cycle!!! :) Good luck!!!!


I already did this once and I pressed something and it deleted everything lol!!! I'll update on myself later!

If I got anyone's updates wrong, let me know! Have a great day everyone!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

Hi ladies! :) Well, NO spotting all day... finally! I thought the spotting would never end! It stopped mid afternoon yesterday. You guys would be proud, I didn't test all weekend! lol! The dr said to test tomorrow morning, so I will. I got to thinking, if I ovulated when I last felt the O pains, which were really bad pains so I'm thinking that's when it happened, that would be at 12 dpo tomorrow. My temps are lower than after O temps tho, so who knows! Not me, can you tell! ;) I'll keep everyone posted on my results. I am holding out the tiniest bit of hope. Not too much tho, just b/c I honestly have no idea what is going on!!

Sammy_J- you know what...? I was the exact same way the cycle I got pregnant with Addy! That was the month we actually just had fun with everything, instead of making it a routine! We tried forever it felt like, and we thought why would this month make any difference? So we dropped the stress and had fun with it, and ended up pregnant! :) I know you do care and want it to happen, but I completely understand where you are emotionally. After months of trying and getting your hopes up, eventually you have to just start gaurding yourself... I am hopeful for you and pray for a bfp for you this month!! Welcome to your 2ww! :)

bfromthed- I know clomid can delay your ovulation a bit, so don't worry! :) I'll check out your chart now!

[bfromthed]

Thanks so much for the well wishes....Im cd17 and my temps are all over the place not sure what to make of it but anywho will keep testing til I get there...Wishing everyone all + results..Sticky Vibes and baby dust. God Bless!

Hi all!

I got my trigger on 10/14 and had 2 IUIs on 10/15 and 10/16.
Now in the 2ww, in my case its always a 3ww :(

Feeling negative and apathetic. After 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs I don't want to keep my hopes high. If it'll happen it will. Don't want to obsess about it. Can you believe it this time around when I used to go for my ultrasounds I wasn't even interested to find out how many follies, what size, endo thickness etc. I was like: whatever! I'm so sick of the roller coaster of emotions when you see the progress bit by bit and in detail and obsess over every day's scan results... I'll just go for the beta now and get the news once and for all.

BTW how much did any of you rest after IUIs? For the IVFs I was on 2 week bed rest but now I am just relaxing a bit and not taking it too serious. Live down one flight of stairs and have been going up and down 4-5 times a day. Is that bad?

dnikki
Thanks for keeping the thread rolling. You do a great job :)

Guesito:
so happy for you :) I can imagine the emotions when you feel the lil one move inside you. Such a miracle :) enjoy every moment.

bfromthed
I know its been a tough time for you. Glad to see you are hanging in there and sending tons of babydust and positive vibes your way. Hope you get a healthy baby this time around... hugs.

mommyin10
Wow 8 months! can't believe it... keep is posted how things go.

sbumblebee
WHat a nightmare! Can't believe they are so incompetent. Hope you are feeling well and strong. Shelby must be such a source of comfort and joy for you, 6 months already!! :)

luvkayln
Keeping fingers and everything else crossed for you that its implantation bleeding. Hang in there. Whens your beta?

Mommyin10- How funny they scored differently in different areas, but ended up with the same score!! Haha!! That's too funny! :) I bet it was cute to see them interact with the therapist! :) Wow, they're doing great on their weight! Addy weighed 20lb, 4 oz at her 9 month check up! When we took her back around 10 months for a rash she had on her left foot, she weighed the exact same! I worried for a minute, but then realized how much more active she's been now that she's ALL over the place! :) OMG, right now sh'es doing everything possible to get to this keyboard! lol! She's so hilarious!! ;) Ya, it's funny b/c in my mind I'm not even considering being pregnant right now, b/c I feel like that would be too good to be true, I guess! I'm still spotting today, which I didn't even check my pantiliner all day b/c I was so busy at work, and when I checked it when I got home there was barely anything on there, but it was light brown. When I wiped, tmi sorry! there was nothing there! This is how it's been all week, and I'm OVER IT!!! I'm just ready for it to be one or the other, a bfp would be fantastic, but I've accepted the fact that it's most likely not and AF just needs to hurry up and get here! I just am confused as in if i'm not pregnant, then do I consider this random spotting AF? Or do I take provera to bring on a cycle and possibly confuse my body even more? What do you think?

mlward3- Welcome!! :) I'm so sorry for your recent m/c! I also just recently miscarried in July (6-7 weeks). This is our first cycle ttc, and of course my body is being crazy! Well, if you knew my history this year you would understand! :) Had a baby in December, didn't have a cycle until May b/c I was breastfeeding and then ended up pregnant that same cycle! Then miscarried in July. Was this your first baby? Good luck with the clomid!!! :)

bfromthed- I know your +opk is right around the corner! :) Keep testing!!!

Guesito- Congrats on feeling the baby! Aww, I remember how awesome that was!!! I'm not exactly sure with Kayln when it was, I'm thinking 20 weeks, but then again wasn't quite sure if that's what I was feeling, but then realized it was so I'm sure it was a lot sooner then 20 weeks! :) With Addy is in my 16th week that I for sure knew that's what it was! :) Only a couple more weeks till you find out the sex!! So excited!

Krichar- Happy birthday! :) And congrats on starting your meds today! Woo hoooo!!!

[bfromthed]

just checking in and see so much is going on hoping all the cycles and our better halfs are healing well! Good to see all the babies are growing and doing well.

afm....ned opk today small temp jump and little twinges here and there so now I will keep testing daily so I wont miss my mark.
Just still praying for us all daily! God Bless....baby dust and sticky vibes
