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.

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! =)

[mommyin10]

JMH2005:  It's good to hear from you, but I'm so sorry you weren't treated nicely by your RE's office ;(  That su cks!  I think you should definitely search for someone else in your area.  They should really be much more understanding.  Hang in there! ;)

luvkayln:  OMG, I'm sorry about the fight! ;(  I'm sure that was scary & stressful being alone.  I'm glad they're okay & that's a great idea to get them fixed.  Relax tonight & no more stress for you! :)  I will for sure ask about my lining & I'll update after my appt.  We reduced the Follistim again tonight, to 100 iu's.  My estrogen was 1230.  I'm glad they're monitoring me so closely.  I feel like all's well =)  You have a great time this weekend with dh & baby ;)

Hannah:  Sorry your appt didn't go so well.  I hope you get your letter soon & some answers so you can move forward.  I know it's frustrating.  Just hang in there! :)

Rachjas:  Congrats on your transfer!!!  Let's do the "stick, babies, stick" cheer! =)  Take care & best wishes!!!

Hey girls! OMG, my dogs (the pitts) just got into a HORRIBLE fight while I was outside playing with all 4 of them with frizzbee's! It was bad b/c I was the only one here, and I had to drag them inside to get them to quit so I could hurry up and shut one in the bathroom just to get them to let go! :( It was bad you guys!! So, they're getting fixed next week! I can't have this around my child!!!! And you know what's crazy?! They only fight when I'm pregnant! I think seriously they can sense my hormones from the pregnancy, and it makes them b*tchy towards each other. They hadn't fought yet since I've been pregnant with this baby, but I'm not doing this and this has been long time coming anyways to get them fixed. They really are VERY good girls you guys, so please don't generolize (sp?) b/c they're pitts, ok? They're very good with kids, it's just weird they only act this way when I'm pregnant!! Anyway, I called Sean all out of breath, and told them it was time and it's happening next week to get them fixed, and he completely agrees. He was more worried about me sitting down and getting a drink and calming down, and of course I did, but I was concerned b/c I still hadn't checked them out to see if they were hurt and get them cleaned up. They're both fine though, Ava has a cut on her eye and that's about it. Anyway, I just had to vent...

Mommyin10- Thanks! You almost set me back a week on this pregnancy! lol ;) I can't believe 15 weeks is already here! I feel like Stacey was just here and we were so excited that she was almost half way done! :) Congrats on all the follies, and good luck at your u/s on Sat!! I'll be sure and check in on Sunday when we get home and see how everything is! Be sure and get your lining measurements too, k? ;) That's SO awesome ER will be next week! Gosh, that's just right around the corner, and then we'll be anxious to hear about your embies every day until they're ready for transfer!!! :)

Rachjas- I saw your mood, and congrats on getting 2 transferred!!! That's perfect! ;) Were you able to freeze any? Try and take these next few days easy and stay relaxed as possible! When's your beta?

Keyan- Thanks for the note! :) We're definately excited to go and have US time for once! :) It's important for your relationship, ya know? Life just gets so busy sometimes, so it's nice to be able to have a weekend to ourselves... Thanks for updating our thread for us today! :) Enjoy your weekend!!

Jmh2005- Thank you! :) I'm sorry your RE is being so unsupportive of you and dh! :( I would definately try on your own for a while, and in the mean time, find another RE near you who will not give up on you guys! Gosh, we tried for a year with our RE and he never once gave up, so there's hope out there and doctor's who really care about their job, and they put their heart into their job than those who just do it for a paycheck! Good luck, and quit staying gone for so long! ;)

Leighanne- I hope Jaedyn has a great first 4th of July!!! :)

Mrspace- That +OPK is on it's way, don't worry! :) That's crazy they don't want you to bring any "baby" stuff this weekend! I'm glad you will still do it, b/c you wouldn't want to miss your O time!

Well girls, I'll check in on Sunday and I'll be able to upload some new belly pics! Beware, b/c I'll have a 2 piece on! ;) I love wearing 2 piece's when I'm pregnant so I can really show off the belly!! :) Have a great weekend!!!!

hey ladies.  quick check in.  glad many of you are progressing and have IVF's set up and growing follies.

i started my new job yesterday and its a little hectic but not too bad.  i have to run and make dinner and do the family stuff but i am going to try to catch up this weekend and write some individual notes to people.

[jmh2005]

Ooops I am CD 8 too I forgot to update!

[jmh2005]

Hey girls! I feel terrible I have not checked inwith you girls in ages. I am really down lately I called my RE today to tell them we are taking a break and they were rude. I asked if there wasa different plan we could do that was not so expensive or somethingbefore we move on to injectibles and the receptionist said she doubts it. First of all who are you? And wha gives you the education to tellme this?

Basically I feel like this office is givig up on me so we are just going to try naturally for a while and see where it leads us. Ill be researching more RE's in my area I am close to Pittsburgh so I am sure there are more doctors who wouldn't give up on us after just 10 months of going.

Congrats to luvkayln on your second trimester.

Good luck to everyone and I will be posting now more often.
