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.

Well, my blood test today showed my estrogen at 265.  The nurse said it's good 'cause it shows I'm responding to the meds, but because it's over 200, they want me to come in for an u/s in the morning.  They said it's nothing to worry about, but in the back of my head I'm thinking it's gonna be too high & my cycle will be canceled...  Hopefully I'll check in with good news afterwards ;)

rachjas:  It sounds like your little embies are growing well! =)  I'm sure it's a little stressful not knowing when your transfer will be, but hopefully you'll have some answers tomorrow!  How are you feeling?

Stacey:  Thanks!  I'll be updating with u/s results tomorrow instead.  I have an appt in the morning...

ad_06:  Yay for AF! ;)  I'm glad she finally showed & you can move on with a regular cycle.  Sorry about your dad! ;(

mrspace:  Hang in there!  If I remember correctly, sometimes you'll O later when taking clomid.  Keep up the bd'ing! =)

Sry I have been missing. Relaxing as much as possible. Here's a quick update. Transfer went well...it was kind of silly at one point...My RE kept saying "everything looks backward!" Come to find out... after a few mintues... the nurse who was doing the ultrasound had the wand backwards! lol. After that got situated.. all went fine!

Anyway, we transferred 2 blasts (both 1.0 --highest grade)!!! They are beautiful! I started crying when they showed me the picture. They were also able to freeze 2 other blasts yesterday and I just got a call from them today that another one made it to freeze today! So, I have a total of 3!!

Beta is Friday morning at a local lab. Last time I used this lab, I got the call from my clinic mid-afternoon. So, one week from today!

Everyone- I am thinking of all you no matter where you are in your journeys. I want to thank you all for your continuing support, prayer and well wishes.

Hey there ladies!!

First of all, I am so sorry that I haven't posted in a while.  Sometimes life gets crazy I guess and it feels like we've just had one thing after another going on these past few weeks.  My back is feeling better, but still hurting at times, so the doctor is sending me for some therapy to try to stetch/strengthen it.  

Fertility-wise, I am having ultrasounds done this cycle to monitor my ovulation process.  I've had to be at the hospital every day at 7am!  Bad thing was, I got there at 7 today and since it was a holiday weekend, they couldn't do it until 10!  Ugh, no one told me, so I had to drive the whole way home (20 minutes each way) and then drive back later.  The good news is, I have one nice follie that is about 2cm, so they think I should O soon!  We're also going away for the weekend, so it's perfect timing!  There is a town about 2 hours away that we love and they have great fireworks tomorrow, so we're really excited for that.

Well, again, I am so sorry for being MIA lately.  I'll check in when we get back on Sunday and be sure to catch up on all of you.  I hope all you pregnant ladies are feeling great and growing bigger!  :)  I hope our IVF ladies are having success!  And I hope the rest of you are all doing well too.  Take care, and hope you all have a great holiday weekend!  :)

luvkayln- dogs always act up at the worst possible time.  i love pitts.  i had an american pittbull terrior growing up and he was the best dog anyone could ever have.  i hated when people turned a cold shoulder to him because of his breed when in all honesty he was better behaved than there lill old lady dog.  
getting the girls fixed is key because if one of them is in heat then they are moody and will snap at each other.  how is everything else going?  how are you feeling?
jaedyn is great, growing so fast.  i am going to try to post a funny pic of him sticking his tongue out, hes like a gene simmons in training.
