Calling All 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.

Sorry ladies that I haven't written on here lately.....I check on you gals everyday, just haven't wrote.

I just want to welcome the new....these are the most wonderful woman to have around!!!

Also wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day!! Thank you Stacey for saying that! It brought tears to my eyes! This mother's day is going to be kind of hard, knowing that I would be pregnant, but I'll manage to get through it.

I have been doing pretty good, I got my beta on 5/4 and it was down to less than 6.15. So I am getting pretty excited for August to get here! Hopefully financially we'll be able to go back then. This break is going to drive me crazy, because I am so used to going to the RE all the time. I can say DH and I are going strong, and my stepson is still the most amazing little boy I've seen. He is going to be a big brother this week coming. His mom is pregnant, and going to be induced Monday, so he is really excited! I just hope that she still shares her attention, because she hasn't been the best Mom to him, I guess that is where I fill in :) He is my heart, and the strength I need.  

Well ladies I'll post again soon! Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!!!

I have been reading post lately, but not responding too much. DH & I have been sooo busy! Tuesday we have IVF class. I am very anxious. As for this cycle, I went to the RE on CD 14. She said I would O from my bad side in 3 days. Well, I am not real sure if I have O'd or not. Take a peek at my chart! Medhelp & FF have me 4dpo. But, I have never had temps. like this. Also, I did mark down that I got a positive OPK, but I also think that the day after I had a + also. I am really confused. I guess AF will be here went she gets here. I am guessing it will be the week after next. So here's my tenative schedule for the coming weeks as far as TTC goes:

IVF class May 12
AF around May 18ish?
Sign and Consent Meeting May 29
Lupron June 8ish?

Miss you all!

Hannah:  No problem!  You definitely do have a chance, so we'll just wait and see =)  Do you want me to move you to 1dpo as of today?  SSBD to you!!!

naf:  That's great that you'll be covered 100%!  You can ask for a copy of the fax & you can also call your insurance company to confirm that you're covered 100% & for each visit, you can also confirm with your insurance company what is covered and what isn't.  Sometimes you can also just go to their online site & check that way.  I'm glad you found a clinic & you are well on your way!!! =)  At your consultation, they'll probably ask you lots of questions.  You'll tell them your story & find out what their game plan is =)  If you have any specific concerns as to why you're not conceiving, be sure to ask them then & good luck!!!
Gosh, I'm so sorry you lost your mom at such a young age ;(  I can't even imagine what you've been through & what you continue to go through...  I'm glad Conrad is there to give you lots of extra love ;-)  Take care!!!

Mrs_Hynes:  Welcome!!!  You are now on our list.  Hannah is right, most of us have been together for quite a while & everyone is very friendly, helpful & will welcome you, as well :)  When are you testing?  Good luck & SSBD to you!!! =)

Hi everyone

Wow stacey that was said so well and i did get a few tears :)

well here's my story i rang a IVF clininc in Gurnee IL and i sent them a copy of my insurance date of birth and they said they would call my insurance company and find out how much im covered for..... Well they rang back yesterday and said that im covered for 100% i said are you sure and she said they have a fax confirming that???

i was so happy than ive looked around a few web-sites and they say to be careful of this cause sometimes even though they say this its not true.

So ive made an app to see them on the 26th May, should i ask for a copy of that fax so i have it on my file also? Also what sort of questions do i ask them?

As tomorrow is Mothers day i always have good and bad feelings about Mothers day, 1 i love it cause my son conrad who is 4 always gives me the best kisses and cuddles and 2 i lost my mum when i was 8 years old so i do get sad and miss her so much, i know that she is watching me but boy do i wish she was here with me :)

Happy Mothers day again to everyone tomorrow and sending lots of baby dust to everyone
