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.

Okay, so now I'm completely excited to move forward with IVF. I spoke to my RE's office today & here's the plan. I'll go in on CD3 for bloodwork & I'll start my bcp's then. We'll submit our application for the program which allows 3 fresh/3frozen transfers that day & will know if we're accepted within a couple of days. There's a chance they won't accept me because of my small uterus, thinking it's more of a gamble for them, but my RE has written a letter also explaining why I'm a good candidate ;) If I'm not accepted, then we still move forward, but we'd just be paying for each IVF cycle, rather than the plan that combines 6 transfers. The only reason we wouldn't move forward with IVF this next cycle is if my blood test results aren't good, meaning my egg reserve is too low. So, at this point, it looks like we're moving forward & although I still haven't gotten a +opk yet, we're not going to try this cycle. I still worry about my thin lining & possibly having another m/c because of it, so we'll just wait til CD3 and move forward ;) I'm excited!
Luvkayln: I hope you had a great time at the wedding! I'm sure you did ;) Yes, I'm glad dh went with me, too, because even when I left our appt, I wasn't sold on IVF. I was more bummed out that "my plan" wasn't going forward! Haha! And also, taking in all the info we were given. So, when we left our appt, it was good to hear dh's good reasoning & then digest all the info we were given & yes, this is our best option, so we're happy about it.
Hannah: I commented on the question you posted, but a +opk at 10dpo could be a BFP... unless you're O'ing much later than you thought... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!! Update us asap & Happy Belated b-day. I hope you had a great time! :)
dnikki: How was your u/s yesterday?

Stacey: Happy 25 weeks!!! =) I can't wait to see your little one after Monday's appt! I'm sure he's growing so big. You belly pics are just amazing! It's good that you post them 'cause I think we kind of forget that your belly is growing so big since we can't see you! =) Thanks for sharing & I cannot wait til I'm posting pics of my own!
dnikki: How's the job hunt going? I'm thinking of you & I believe something good will come to you! Be patient & stay positive =)
Keyan: I love your comments to Arlotheslug ;) Just one week to go with your crazy schedule! Thank God! You've been working so hard! I told you before, but if I could somehow donate blood, you know I would. I wish you lived closer ;) I'm sure you'll get everything taken care of & then it will just be a precaution & the donated blood won't be needed ;) That's my hope for you. Yes, as far as our budget crisis, I am very happy to take a day off per month. Heck, I'd be happy with two days off! haha! My time is much more valuable sometimes, you know? Anyway, this is just a band-aid over the problem, so it's said that things will get worse before they get better. I'm sure I'll be okay, though ;) Yes, my countdown has begun & I expect AF next week!!! I'm so happy & so excited =) No, I haven't seen the test either, but I will look, too. Do you have a 3-day weekend?
luvkayln: So, your next u/s is Tuesday! That's going to be so exciting to see how much your little guy/gal has grown =) You'll have to update asap! Will you be working all weekend?
Hannah: I'm glad you're keeping positive & we'll see what happens!!! SSBD =)

Guesito: Good luck to you today!! ...I am praying everything goes as it should!!
Stacey: great belly pics!! you look great! Sep is just a few weeks away!! by then I should be done with my Lupron monthly shots and start my countdown to AF!! Your baby shower is on my B-day ;o) I will turn 31...OMG! ...Well, actually I am 30 turning 29! ha ha...that's what I say when people ask my age ;o) ... !!
MrSpace: I am sorry for all the issues, but is good you have a doctor that is doing all that it is needed to find out what is going on with you!! How are the puppies doing? any new pic?
Mommyin09: I am sorry you will have some $ taken away from your salary, but like Candie said, is better one day than 2 days or even a week or more! I am happy you are on your countdown for AF...It is a strange feeling not to TTC....but all will be good, you will see how this new plan will help you conceive a sticky BFP!! about the test, have you seen it? I will look for it next time I go to walgreens.
Luvkayln: Congrats on your 9 weeks! ...I miss talking to all of you and reading your posts...I am still busy, but is just another week and it will all be done!! although this next week will be the worse...I am working from 7am to 6pm almost every day, so I am exhausted. Can't wait for your belly pics!!
Candie: Hey! It is friday! ...Congrats on your 2dpo!! I am praying hard, your vacations turns in to a celebrating vacation when you get your BFP! I can relate to the pain issues...my best advice...not necessarily doctors approved, although he knew I would do this and wouldn't say I shouldn't....anyway, as soon as I felt like AF was going to show, although I hadn't even spoted, I would take 2 aleve pills and then when I would start AF, and if past atleast 4 hours from the first dose, I would take another aleve pill, this would make it better for me, sometimes after 8 or 12 hours I would need a 4th pill, but almost every time 3 would be enough for me. Also, another suggestion from doctors is to take a pain killers for a few days before AF should arrive. Hope you can figure out what is best for you to control a little the awful pain associated with endo!
Hannah: it is good you are not stressing and SO true, what will be, will be! hopefully you will get your BFP soon!
Arlotheslug: I am so sorry my friend. Just know that when a door closes another one will be open, and when we fill like there are no doors left, we go and get some wood, and we build the door to be open. We just have to keep trying, and beleiving that some day our dream will come true. I am keeping you in my prayers. you know I am here for you.
Update on my surgery - I still need 2 more blood donors, I am working on that, I just haven't made the calls...my pre-op appt is schedule now for June 1st. BTW for you that are thinking of having a LAP done, they usually don't ask for blood donors for this type of surgery, but since mine can turn in to a big one and open, and I've had issues with my Hemoglobine levels, that's why my doc is making me get 2 units prepared for me just in case, is more of a precaution. Back in Feb, when I had my first LAP, I didn't have to this... don't think this will happen to you.
Happy weekend to everyone....COME ON BFPs!!
