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 :-)

Ok ladies, I'm really starting to doubt this whole implantation thing! I've been doing lots of research on it, and everything I've read said it can last up to a week, but when I look at charts w/ it, it's only lasted 1-2 days, and when I had it w/ Addy it only lasted 1 day. If I'm still spotting today, which I just got out of the shower and there was nothing before i got in the shower, then this would be 5 days of spotting. I also took my temp this morning, and it was low at 97.1. I took it at 7am, which is when I took it when I was charting, and that low of a temp was when I was in the beginning of my cycle, before O. I mean, the first day of spotting, I did put a tampon in and it didn't even fill half of it. It was just like on one said and it was a darker brown, but ever since then it's been light pink (for 1 day off and on) and then the last 2 days it's been a super light light brown/cream color. If this is supposed to be an AF, it's no normal AF! I've decided to call my OB today, just to see what she says. I'll update soon!

Hey Ladies!  i am finally back.  Surgery was miserable and they tried to kill my DH several times.  They gave him the wrong insulin for 2 days and had his sugar numbers up to 600 before they called the diabetic team.  I flipped out and told them all that they were not to treat his diabeties anymore.  I took over and his numbers came down perfectly!  He lost so much blood during the surgery that he had to have 4 units put back in durning surgery and then 3.5 after.  Then Saturday night they gave him a muscle relaxer to help him sleep.  Well with the pain meds his stats dropped and they called a code blue on him.  What a mess!  They pulled out the paddles to jump start his heart and he opened his eyes and YELLED WAIT, I'M AWAKE!  I'M ALIVE!  Then he called me and said come up here they are trying to kill me.  Poor guy.  Shelby and I stayed at my moms about 20 minutes from the hospital for 5 nights.  It's been a very trying time for us.  He is home and healing a little every day.  Thanks for the prayers!

Luvkayln... what a mess your cycle has been.  I am so confused.  I don't know if I should be holding out for a BFP or wishing you good luck.  I am sure it will all straighten out soon though.  I couldn't wait to get on and check on you.  It sounds like you and Sean are doing better too and that is great.

shelby is ALL over the place!  She is officially crawling!  And yesterday when I waved at her she opened her little hand and closed it like she was trying to wave back.  Of course it was the cutest.  I got her 6 month pictures done and they are gorgious.  I'll have to get some posted.

Going to get movies for DH and I believe I hear someone wiggling.  She must be up from her nap.


XOXO

Mommyin10- Hi there! :) Oh how adorable!! The babies are gonna look SO cute in their outfits!! Don't forget to post pics! ;) We got Addy a ladybug costume! I can't wait to see her in it! :) I've been feeling nauseated already this morning... I"m not sure what's going on. The main reason I think it's implantation is b/c everything I've read says if it was AF trying to start, then it could start out light but will get heavier that day or the next. And in the past, that's always been the case. I don't start out spotting, but it will start out light, but not THIS light! If I continue to spot today, today will be the 4th day. I've read online that most times it ony lasts a few hours to a few days, but it did also say that it can last up to a week. I know with Addy, it only lasted a few hours. It just ***** I really don't know what "dpo" status I am. I know I had horrible O pains for 3 days when AF should've come, which is funny b/c that's exactly what happened the month I got pregnant this last time! I remember having horrible AF cramps, even bending over b/c they hurt so bad, and ended up being pregnant! I've had cramping, but it almost feels like a dull ache that comes on and off. The O pains I felt were about 8 days ago, and that's when we bd too. When I found out I was pregnant this last time, I found out on 11dpo and the line was barely visable on the test. I did test yesterday, and it was neg. So I'm thinking I'll wait a few more days and test again. I'm curious to see if the spotting will/has stopped today. I just think this is so weird. I've never done this before! I just pray that if it's not implantation, that nothing is wrong!

Glad to see you're back...all done with Clomid I hate the side effects it really makes me feel weird...so just on standby waiting on + opk...have been having small twinges on the left (no tube there) but praying I o from the right....

Hi, ladies! So sorry to stay away so long... Dnikki, thanks for doing such a great job keeping the update going. I'm happy to see everyone's still offering support to one another :)
I've been crazy busy with work, babies, home, etc, but no complaints :) Ava threw up while at Kindercare on Thursday last week, so had to come home. Then Ricky got sick Saturday & my dh got sick Monday night... Thank God it was quick for the lil ones & they're back to their happy lil selves again. It's so sad to see them sick :( I'm convinced that mommies just can't get sick because although I felt like hell yesterday, I didn't throw up & still cared for the babies. I mean, what would happen if mommy was sick?!? Daddy was in bed...
So, they'll be 8 months on Monday! I can't believe how fast time flies... Ava has started to say dada! She is a chatterbox. It's nonstop dada, dada, dada & then other things that sound like blah, blah ;-) I told Ricky it's up to him to say mama! heehee
We've got their Halloween costumes all squared away! I'm
so excited! Because of Ricky's hair, I thought he'd make a cute "greaser" from the '50s. We found him a neat leather jacket, he'll wear jeans rolled up, a white Tshirt & we found cute lil hightop shoes! Ava has a poodle skirt with petticoat, a white onesie, pink shoes & a black scarf. Oh! And tiny cat eye glasses! So cute :) Can you believe she's almost 8 months old & her shoes are size Newborn (that's 0-6 weeks!) She's a petite one!
They have their developmental evaluation on Friday. They do that for multiples who were born 6 weeks or more early.
Anyway, just wanted to catch up & say Hey! I think of you all often & miss chatting with you all!!!

Luvkayln: Wow! I will be praying for good news!!! :) Addy is so adorable!

Guesito: I'm so happy for you & excited for you to find out the sex of your baby!!! FYI, I did the intelligender test too! dh didn't want me to, but I did ;) If I remember right, it said girl, but then I did another test, like the Chinese something or other, and it said boy. So, I said, okay! It's bogus because they both said something different... Haha! Then I
had a girl & a boy ;) So, we'll see very soon! Take care!!!

Keyan: How are you doing? I'm excited for you & dh to try iui! I'm
sending lots of prayers your way!!!

Krichar: October 25 is coming up fast! Praying for you :)

bfromthed: How'd you do with the clomid? Best wishes!!!

[bfromthed]

hoping tings are all + for you!!!! Think + :-)
