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.

[bfromthed]

[krichar]

Thanks for starting the new thread!! My 2nd beta was 3609 and I am 5 weeks 2 days now!

[GUESITO]

Krichar I'm so rexcited 4 u!!!!                                          Bfrom- its your turn we are rooting for you!!! Sending lots of ssbd and prayers your way. Xoxoxox

[mommyin10]

Bfromthed: That's great news :) I'm excited for you & dh! You had at least one good-sized follie on each side, so it's lookin really good ;-)

Krichar: Your lil one (s) are on they way! I know I don't have to tell you to enjoy every minute :) I sure did! Did you guys tell your families yet? Take care :)

[luvkayln]

krichar- Yayy, congrats on your numbers!!! Can't wait till your u/s!! :)

Bfromthed- Oh that's wonderful you were able to get the shot! Just in time! :) Welcome to your 2ww! Lets pray you get a BFP for Thanksgiving! :)

Mommyin10- Wow, SO hard to believe the twins are almost 9 months old! Soon you'll be in my shoes with an almost 1 year old, which is freakin' CRAZY!!! I was talking to a co-worker who has an almost 2 year old, saying how I can't believe Addy will be a year in a couple weeks, and he was saying how he can't believe his daughter is almost 2. And I said, "NO, you don't understand! I JUST had her!" Haha!!! Time goes WAY too fast!! I'm excited for her party though! We're having it at the winery, since I'll get the room for free and have a little over 70 people on the invite list, which is absolutely rediculus! The list just kept growing, lol! We're doing a princess party theme, and I went ALL out! I can't wait to show you guys pics! :) So how's everything else going? Are you still loving their daycare? Oh, I meant to ask you. When you took fertility blend, did it regulate your cycles or were your cycles pretty much regular before you started it? I bought 2 bottles of it, and this is my first month on it. I'm hoping it regulates me, so I'm not ovulating when AF should be due! That's annoying! :) Hope all is well, glad you're stopping in more on here now! :)

[sbumblebeeo]

krichar: BFP!!!! 1st u/s 11/26!!

LOOK who's name is on the BFP list with an U/S date!!!!  I am sooo smiling big for you!!!!!  After all this time and you never gave up.  I am honored to know such a strong woman!  Good for you, you deserve it!

[bfromthed]

okay ladies NEED ADVICE.....bd'd on Saturday triggered and bd'd on Sunday and bd'd Monday...had o pains yesterday and today should I try and bd tonite (dh is working late)or should I wait a day and bd Wednesday to give the swimmers time to rebuild? Will this be too late to "catch the egg" if I wait til Wednesday or do you ladies think my bases are covered enough?

[GUESITO]

I would definately b'd just to make sure. Good luck!!!!  We are rooting for you and know you are next!!

[bfromthed]

thanks if I cant tonite due to his schedule I will in the "wee hours" of the morning...like 3 am-ish...lol

[krichar]

My u/s has been bumped up to the 25 because dh has to go out of town on the 26!! One more day sooner!!

Bfromthed- xxxxfingers crossedxxxxx for you!! Good sign the cramps from the good side!!! I will keep you in my prayers!!!

Mommyin10- time sure is flying!!! 9 months already??? Wow!! You are going to be REALLY busy soon!!

[GUESITO]

One day means a lot when so anxious.. yey!!

[mommyin10]

My babies are 9 months old today!!! I can't believe how fast they grow & how much they change from one day to the next. When I called to check on them at daycare yesterday (I call every day), they said they got a big laugh over Ava. She spotted someone's pacifier across the room & did a quick soldier-crawl & snatched it! Haha (& no, she didn't get to keep it ;) She is a girl on the go! She throws a fit if I put her in her carseat or anything that confines her. She's gotta be free :) Ricky has his two bottom teeth & is working on the top two! We have their 9-month check up tomorrow.

How are you all doing?? It's a bit quiet here, huh? I'm really trying to keep in contact ;)

Luvkayln: I can't believe Addy will be 1 in less than 3 weeks! What are you planning for the big day? :)

krichar: Yay! Your u/s is just 1 week away!!! I can't wait to hear all about it :-)

bfromthed: How are you doing??

[krichar]

I posted 2 pics of my inside decorations. I will take more when it is all done and my house is cleaned...LOL!! I have been trying to get the gumption to go outside but our day time high is -20C (-4F) with a windchill so i haven't quite made it outside yet...LOL!!!!

[bfromthed]

wow 9 monts already time flies!

Afm: I am ok 3dpo had some cramps when I woke up this morning but I think it was from the ice cream (late) last night because after I staarted moving around I was dine a 3dpo I dont think I should feel anything this soon....just on standby til Sunday and I will have progesterone drawn I wont get the results bk til Mnday because its drawn on the weekend. I am not trying to get too anxious but at the same time remain optimistic! Thanks for checking in on me :-)

[bfromthed]

i wont be doing the official test for another week or so 8 days to be exact but because I have access to the lab I had some blood drawn today and it came in at a 7 which anything over 5 is considered a + but I do keep in mind that I am only 1 week past taking the trigger shot which can still be in my system...I just have been having really bad cramps the last few days on and off and again  the same thing happened with my last bfp 1 week after trigger I checked it was a 3 and climbed from there so praying that is a good sign...since Im working in the lab today I just wanted to see where it was...I also had my progesterone drawn and due to it being the weekend I probably wont get those results til Monday.

[bfromthed]

progesterone came in at 14.5. Not sure what that means besides I did ovulate. I thought I read at least 10 on non-medicated and 20 on medicated but my re's office said anything above 10 on a medicated?? Anywho I am still having a stomach ache not even in the lower abdomen just feels like a kid that ate too much junk...it was so bothersome that it woke me up outta bed at 3am :-( Other then that temp is still on the rise but othere then that no bb's tenderness or anything. Im 5dpo today so not looking to feel much anyway I will be testing in a week if no af....wish me luck..
baby dust and stick vibes to us all...
Beatrice

[bfromthed]

temp and progesterone took a huge drop this morning...not upset just frustrated want my sticky bfp..but mentally prepared for the next cycle.[

[sbumblebeeo]

Question... Shelby is 7 almost 8 months old already and I stopped nursing at 4 months (had a lot of frozen milk from pumping) and I still have not had a cycle.  I'm starting to wornder if I ever will.  I had hoped that having a baby would some what regulate my body and maybe just maybe help it out.  Any thoughts?  Should I call the doctor?  They'll just want to put me on birth control and I don't want that.  Seems like stopping ovulation isn't a great idea.  I took a ovulation test last week b/c I was having pains but it was clearly negative.  I do plan to ask my doctor for Clomid again after I go for my yearly PAP next May.

[bfromthed]

thanks for the encouragement i did look at my bbt chart from my last bfp I had a temp dip on day 7dpo and still had bfp...and today is 6dpo and I had the temp dip so who knows its just gets hard at times but I am a fighter and I believe that the Bible says to be fruitful a reproduce so I am standing on his word...beta in a week!

[luvkayln]

Mommyin10- Happy 9 months!!! Yayyy!!! :) Oh, so we're planning a huge Princess Party for Addy! :) Hard to believe it's next Sunday already!!!! Are you going shopping this Fri? We're shopping all weekend, lol! I've been going crazy getting things for Addy, but my excuse is that her birthday and Christmas are SO close together! Haha!! :)

bfromthed- Your chart still looks wonderful! Don't give up on this cycle, it's still very possible! :)

sbumblebeeo- Yes, I think you should call your doctor. I know at 6 months I quit nursing b/c for one my milk supply went down, and for two, I was pregnant again! lol! But I know I had my first AF when Addy was 5 1/2 months. They've been pretty irregular ever since my m/c, but I'm trying these fertility blend pills and hoping they help. So far I'm CD 20, and no +opk yet... :( I keep feeling my gearing up to O pains, so hopefully it's on its way!! Anyway, so next May you'll start trying again! Yayyy!!! Ya know, they may have another alternative than BC pills to help regulate you right now. Just call and ask, it won't hurt if anything! :)

Krichar- Just a few more days till your u/s! Yayy!!! I bet you're SO excited! How're you feeling? :)

[sbumblebeeo]

I wonder if I should try those fertility blend things.... Hmmmmm

[bfromthed]

Wishing all of you a Happy BFP Thanksgiving...loads of baby dust and sticky vibes for the holidays....I am 7dpo no symptoms yet and if no af by the 29th I will poas and see what happens. May God bless and look after us all as he hears our cries, he knows our heartache and successes on this journey. Lets continue to support one another and when you do get your blessing please dont forget about us that are still chasing our dreams...May God Bless each and every one of us and our individual needs
Beatrice
ps ready to shop on Friday!!!!!!!!!! :-)

[GUESITO]

My ob appt went great baby is doing great got to see her getting so big...she weighs 1lb already soooo happy!!!

[luvkayln]

Sbumblebeeo- Oh ya, duh, I should've recommended that! lol! It says they can take up to 3 months to take effect in regulating your cycle. But if you did them now before you're ready to try again, by the time you are ready your cycle will be back to normal... hopefully! ;) I know for sure if you call your OB today and ask for something, they'll give your provera to jumpstart a period. So maybe you could do that, and then once it comes start the fertility blend. Just a thought! :)

Guesito- Congrats, it's always reassuring to see them and how well they are doing! :) Yay, 1 lb!! That's exciting!!! :)

bfromthed- Hoping you get your BFP right in time for Thanksgiving!!! :)
