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! =)

rachjas: That's great you're transferring the best 2! I'm so excited for you =) I saw your other post & was curious about the progesterone injections. So, you started them the day after retrieval? I guess the fun continues, huh?! =) Yes, I have a few little bruises. My lower belly looks almost polka-dotted ;) Well, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!!! Take care =)
pyar: Your post cracked me up! Haha! Yeah, are you cd12 today? I must not have back-spaced far enough ;) I'll fix you tomorrow!
Luvkayln: Yeah, the "O" pains hurt, but at the same time they make me smile 'cause I know the meds are doing their job ;) My guess is that my retrieval will be around next Tuesday, so we'll see. I'm not sure whether we'll do a 3 or 5-day transfer. We'll have to see what our doc says. Yep, an u/s and blood test tomorrow before work. I'm anxious, too, to see my follies grow & hopefully my lining will have thickened. If so, I'll have lots of hope! =) That's great that you're all packed up and ready to go on Friday! I'm SO happy that tomorrow is my last day, too. Thank God for 3-day weekends! =)

Rachjas- How exciting that your transfer is set for tomorrow!!! And OMG, they're transferring the best 2 and freezing the rest, how awesome!!! :) SO, how soon can you test?? I'm already anxious for that! lol ;)
Mommyin10- Yay for the O pains in your ovaries! I know with the Follistim alone for me I felt it right away like I was about to O any minute! Those are some very powerful meds, that's for sure!! ;) So, you have another u/s tomorrow, right? I can't wait to hear how many more follies have popped up and how much bigger the other ones have grown! I'm anxious to hear about your lining too! So, do you have an idea of when your transfer will be? Probably late next week, right? I guess depending on if they do a 3 day or a 5 day transfer? I'm so excited! Ya know, Rachjas will get her BFP right around your transfer time! That'll be awesome b/c you'll be next in line for yours! Yay!!! :)
Mrspace- I looked at your chart, and it definately looks like you could be ovulating today! Especially with all the O pain you're having! I know this is your trail month, but how awesome would that be if you got your BFP in a couple weeks??! ;)
Keyan- Thanks, I hope so too! All's I know is this alone time with Sean is much needed! I feel like this week especially we haven't spent any time together, just b/c he's working longer days than usual now and I'm just sad I don't have him around as much! :( So this weekend will be all about us and we'll just be able to have a good time together! I can't wait! :) Sorry the meds are giving you such horrible hot flashes! I bet that was terrible not having any ac either! Yuck! We don't have central air, so we have ac units and we have that on full blast in our bedroom, but the fan on the highest level and it's always freezing in here and I love it! :) We'll see how no ac treats me this weekend, but I'm prepared! ;) Oh, and all's I can say about your hot flashes is it's just getting you ready for pregnancy b/c JUST WAIT darlin'!! I get them SO bad! ;)
LooLoo- Hope you're able to check in soon and share how your u/s went! :)
Dnikki- Hope you start to feel better soon!
Mommyin10- Yay for the O pains in your ovaries! I know with the Follistim alone for me I felt it right away like I was about to O any minute!

mommyin10 you have just had me so confused you have me as cd112 for a second because of my last long cycle i thought it was true then reality set in, your finger must have slipped i thought i was losing the plot
mommyin10- We are transfering the 2 best!! Yep, she said they should also know tmw. if we have any to freeze! I know what you mean about the bloating! Mine is a little better now. I told DH I felt like I was carry two baseballs in my pelvic region at the end of my stims....If kind of gave him an idea of how I felt. Are you bruising any from the stims?
How exciting! That's awesome that you have some nice blastocytes! I guess you'll find out tomorrow how many they'll transfer? I bet you'll have some nice embies to freeze too. Wow, this is exciting news :) It's funny you should ask, because YES, I'm feeling lots of action! It hurts a little even just walking & I'm bloated! Haha :) You know, when I had my trial transfer, I emptied my bladder one hour prior, then drank 16 ounces of water 1/2 hour before. Surprisingly it wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought :) You'll do great! I'll be thinking of you & awaiting your update :)
mrspace- It sounds like O is right around the corner!
mommyin10- Are you starting to feel 'action' in your ovaries?!
luvkayln- I can't wait to see more pictures!!!
Got a call from the nurse this morning... transfer is set for Thursday, 6dt. I have to be there at 12:15pm (est), ET is set for 12:30. I am empty mu bladder 1 hr. ahead of time and then drink 6-8 glasses of H2O! ohhh boy.... Maybe I should have practiced that?!?! : ) She also said told me a little bit about my embies, but said that they Lab would call later. Well, 3:55pm rollled around.. they hadn't called. So, I called them. What they nurse told me this AM was pretty right on... the lab tech. can just go into more detail.
6 from group 1
2 graded 1.5 (both blast!!!!)
2 graded 2.0 (both morula - stage before blast)
2 graded 3.5 (1-3 cell and 1-4 cell ...... degenerating : ( )
2 from group 2
1 graded 1.5 (blast)
1 graded 2.0 (blast)
She confirmed that they will pick the best 2 tmw... and she said she think we may have some to freeze. She said they can tell us tmw!
