Calling All 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.

Yippy!  I'm so happy for you.  I got my beta back.  4weeks 6days=1090.  My first apt. is the 21.  I'll be 8 weeks on the button.  Another bets next Thursday.

To: Everyone
Beta today was 648 from 274 on Wednesday, so that's good.  

On the other hand, my doctor--who forced me to make a 3-hr round trip to pay him for a little information--told me that he didn't want me to fly to the U.S. next week.  Before the ivf I asked him if I could fly if I got pregnant, and he said yes.  

Since he didn't answer my email on Tuesday and tickets at reasonable prices were almost gone, I bought tickets on Wednesday.  The thing is, my doctor is off to Greece tomorrow and told me he won't have email, so it's not like he can take care of me during this time, and he didn't have any specific reason for telling me not to fly other than it's a long trip (10 hours of flight time).

I was really upset because I hate struggling for information and I hate people who change their minds for no reason and without explanation.  

DH thinks the doctor is fickle and unprofessional--he has changed his mind on me before, and DH thinks making me go see him today for a few answers was greedy.  Oh, I asked the doctor about pre-natal vitamins, and he said I didn't need them--just keep taking the folic acid, and he'll give me iron pills later.

Do you all think that I could make the trip with every caution for circulation (circulation socks, lots of water, frequent strolls down the aisle)?  It would do a lot of good for my stress level to be in the U.S. with family for a while rather than alone in a Paris apartment.  I would like to know your opinions.

That would probably depend on how many stops, fne, your flight makes.  Ask another Dr., as a hypothetical ?, just 2c what they say.  Go to questions on a forum that M.D.'s answer to all that post them.  

They'll still tell you to check w/your Dr., 1st, anyway.  You have to decide, what's more important, how you feel, or the baby's welfare?  The ball's in your court.....GL

Hey everyone.  I didn't come to work until noon today and I'm leaving early because I have a massive headache.  I've been wearing sunglasses at work, ha ha.   Well I had a MAJOR temp spike today.  From 96.1 to 97.5    so that looks good.  Still got a -opk, but I'm really not worried. I figure we're bd'ing just in case, so there's not much else we can do.  

Sorry it's so short today but I feel like poo.  So I'm going to head home here in about 10 minutes!  

Have a great weekend everyone!

[mommyin10]

Hannah: That's great you got an appt scheduled! Is it a consultation? What do you mean you were on Big Brother? The TV show? I'm sorry you're not feeling well... Take care! ;)

scripps: Great beta!!! I don't understand why your doctor told you you don't need prenatals?! That's very odd. If I were you, I'd take them anyway. I don't know about flying. Maybe you could ask your sister to ask a doctor for you?

Sbumblebeeo: Wow, that's a great #! :) I'm sure that news put your mind at ease ;)

Stacey: Thanks!!! :) Happy 35 Weeks!

AMus4u, I don't understand why the number of stops would make any difference, but it's one stop, two flights.  Also, I'm obviously not going to choose my feelings over the baby's welfare--I don't know why you would even suggest that's the situation,

The question is: is there any threat to the baby's welfare?  Nothing I could find on the internet said there is.  My doctor gave me no reason--everything looks great.  I'm distressed because I want to trust my doctor and do as he says, but this is the same person who recommended 3 hours of travel on metros and buses today so I could pay him for information he could have written in 5 minutes in an email and who said I don't need pre-natal vitamins.  Hence, I would like to know what professional advice other people have received on this issue.
