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.

Good afternoon, ladies! So, my u/s and b/w today went well. My estrogen is pretty high, 4000-something, so I'm not taking any more stims. I'm continuing my Lupron & will go back tomorrow morning for another u/s & b/w. My retrieval is expected to be Wednesday!!! =) I have lots of follies & as of this morning, they're ranging from 13-18mm. When I asked how many follies I have, the nurse & doctor both said, "A lot!" at the same time. It was funny. The nurse said they actually took measurements on 17 follies today! My lining is 6.1, which is really exciting for me because it's never been thicker than 5 even on the day of iui. So, I'm feeling good about that 'cause there's still time for it to thicken. So, just wanted to give my update. I hope you're all having a great weekend! =)

Hey ladies! We had a great weekend! Hope everyone else did too! :) We didn't get as many pics as I wanted, but we got a few! It was nice just the 2 of us going. We did the float on Saturday, and yes, it rained throughout the weekend but it came and went and then the sun would just shine right out! Missouri weather... that's how it always is! lol :) At least it didn't rain on us during the 5 mile float though! Oh, and our float only lasted 2 hours! The river is up so much b/c of all the rain we've had lately, and the current is stronger than normal. So of course we grabbed the fishing poles when we got back to camp, and then took the canoe back up-river to fish and hang out some more! :) I got a little burned, especially on my legs, but I kept my belly covered the whole time, so we're good there! :) Then the people who owned the campground put on a firework show for us, it was really neat! I couldn't stay up for the whole thing b/c I was just plum exhausted from being in the sun all day, but Sean stayed up to watch it. Anywho, let me get caught up here...! :)
Looloo- OMG, twins! Sorry, but I will get excited! There still there now, and we'll all be praying they both hang on! :) I understand the doc needs to tell you that vanishing twins do happen, but NOT always, so be happy and strong for your little ones! :) I'm sorry you've been spending so much time at the hospital, and that you fainted.... scary!! :( Take it easy, and check in when you feel you are OK to do so! We'll all be thinking of you! :)
Candie- Hey stranger! :) I'm glad your back is starting to feel a little better, and how exciting that your u/s showed you're getting ready to O!! Yay! :) Yes, perfect timing since you and dh went away for the weekend! ;) I understand life gets so busy, but I know you're thinking of us as we are of you! :) I'm trying to cut my hours back at work since there's 2 of us doing my job now, less stress ya know? Plus, I've basically already told the girl working with me that I probably won't be back after the baby is born. Not that I don't love my job, but being a banquet coordinator you have to revolve your schedule around other people's events, and with a newborn at home, and Sean just starting his own business now, I need to revolve my time around my child. :) I still have a ways to go till we get there, so I'll talk with the owner about it later! Hope you enjoyed your weekend!! :)
Mommyin10- Congrats on your lining! Woo hoo! :) Even though you are done stimming, you still have a few more days for it to get thicker. Especially if you do get the hcg trigger tomorrow, your lining will continue to grow until ER so that's great! Plus, you'll be on the PIO shots after "O" so that's even better! ;) That's cute your doctor and nurse said you have a lot of follies at the same time! I know that made you smile! ;) How exciting they measured 17 of them, and who knows, there may be some hiding and more may pop up before retrieval! :) Keep us posted on your u/s tomorrow! I'm hopeful that you'll be able to get your trigger tomorrow, and then ER will be on Wed, and then transfer on Sat or Mon, yay!!!! ;) I'm just so excited and SO hopeful!!! :) How was Carmelo's first 4th of July with his mommy and daddy? I'm sure he enjoyed it! :) I missed my babies, but am so glad we had a nice getaway! It is nice to be home though! :) Oh, I forgot to tell you! We have a new addition to the family! Sean caught a river turtle, and it's so cute b/c he had a freakin' farm of turtles when he was little, so he's always had a lot of fun looking for them on float trips! So he caught one, and of course wanted to keep him! ;) He's out getting a tank for him now, even though we have a 55 gallon tank but we also have fish in there and I don't want him to eat them! I've always wanted a turtle tank too. I love watching them swim, and then come up and chill on the rocks! :)
Rachjas- Congrats on getting the 3rd one back to freeze!! How exciting and suprising! ;) Wow, your beta seems so close... Friday will be here before you know it! Do you think you'll test before your beta or just wait it out? I really think this is going to work for you on the first try! Everything has just been SO perfect, it just has to work! :) I'll definately keep you in my prayers! :)
Mrspace- + OPK yet???? I sure hope so! :)

mommyin10 - Thanks for the warm welcome back. That is so exciting that you have such great follies and your transfer will be so soon! Sounds like you guys had a nice, quiet weekend together, those are the best! Hope you were able to relax together. We had a great weekend too, so nice to get a break and have it be just the two of us. Good luck this week! I am so happy for you. :)
luvkayln - Wow, sounds like you had such a nice weekend too. I'm so happy to hear you are still doing so well. That's great that Sean is working to start his own business! I wish him lots of success. :) I can see what you're saying about your job. That would be hard to juggle a schedule like that with a new baby at home.
Rachjas - Congratulations on your transfer! I hope those little beans hang on tight and we hear good news from you soon! Take care.
Seems like a slow weekend here... hope everyone had a nice holiday.

luvkayln: Sounds like you guys had a great time! I can imagine how exhausted you must have been =) So, what's the turtle's name?? How cute! I love turtles =) Thanks for being so excited for me. I am, too! Oh, Carmelo did amazing on the 4th! There's a fireworks show at a stadium a few blocks away, so we can watch them from our front yard & we took him out with us & he just curled up and relaxed. Not even a flinch! =) So, we had fun & it was very relaxing. I didn't feel like doing much 'cause my ovaries feel like they're about to explode! haha! I'm not complaning one bit. It's all well worth it! =) So, I'll update you tomorrow about my appt, but I do think I'll trigger tomorrow night & then retrieval would be Wed. Yay! Tell me more about Sean's business venture... How exciting! Well, talk to you later & welcome home =)
Candie: I'm glad you had a nice, romantic getaway! =) I'm excited for you since you're being monitored this cycle & I'll be thinking of you tomorrow at your appt, as I'm at mine ;) Good luck & keep us posted!!!
mrspace: Congrats on the +opk!!! =)

dnikki: Yes, you remembered right. I have a T-shaped uterus. It basically means there's not as much room as a normal uterus, so multiples is a high risk. So, yes, we're only transferring one embryo & freezing the rest. The more I have retrieved, the better my chances are to have one amazing embryo to transfer and some to freeze =) Congrats on the trip to Puerto Rico! That's awesome! I've been there & it is beautiful =) I bet Keyan could give you lots of travel tips!!!
Candie: Good luck at your appt today! =)
Well, I have my u/s this morning, so I'll make this quick. I'm expecting to hear that I'll take my trigger shot tonight, meaning retrieval will be Wednesday!!! I'll update you all later today =)

Okay so I accidentally wrote on the other forum, and not the new one. I am 4dpo today, according to my chart. I got my +opk on Friday (cd22). The O pain is awful, but SOOO worth it. I am starting to think we may get a bfp this month, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
I went back to the doctor after my accident and they said I had a slight concussion. I 'm fine now. I have a really nasty head cold now. I am at work, though. I'll be leaving early. My boss is sick and won't be in til noon, and I have a feeling that I'll be leaving shortly after he gets here.
I will update more later.

Where is everyone today? :) My appt went well. The doc said I'm ready & had the nurse give me all my instructions re: trigger, retrieval, etc., but we were waiting on my blood test results. They want my estrogen to drop a bit. I just heard from the nurse, who said my estrogen is now 5510. She thinks it'll probably come back down tomorrow, but I guess we'll see. So, I have another u/s & b/w in the morning & hopefully my retrieval will be Thurs... Hope everyone's doing well :)
mommyin10- Don't freak out about the E2 level! But, you need to be relaxing and drinking TONS of fluid. Especially the days following ER. When I went in for my ET, my ovaries were still huge and my E2 never got like that. Be cautious! You will probably end up with some OHSS. Just take it as easy as possible. I am thinking of you this evening as you trigger!
Hey ladies! I am still lurking!! LOL
Well, alot of you know my struggle with TTC #2, I am quitting BC again this Saturday. So, when and IF i do O....it will be while I am in FL the end of this month for my 20th reunion! Yikes!! Where does the time go???? So, any prayers and crossed fingers will greatly be accepted!! =)

Thanks, Keyan & rachjas! I am definitely staying positive & have been drinking A LOT of water =)

mamatina: Welcome back =) Enjoy your reunion & best wishes to you & dh!!!

Lina- I am so sorry to hear that your dad is sick. I hope that your job eases up on you and that you will feel better soon. I am thinking of you
I am glad that everything is going so well with all of you. We have twins, which is awesome, lots of follies for Mommyin10, Rachjas had her transfer and had three to freeze which is great!, Luvkaylin is feeling good and had a good trip, and dnikki is feeling better:) For the most part, things seem to be going well right now.
I also wanted to update that I am no longer on the bc pills. I am still taking 10 units of Lupron and will start Gonal F and Menopur on Thursday. My air conditioning/heating system is being replaced in my new house supposedly on Thursday so I am hoping to finally move in:)
Good luck to everyone:)

Keyan--- ohh now that you say it like that... I am soo anxious!!
mommyin10- I totally didn't see the comment about ER Thurs. I am sure things will be great with your E2 tmw!

Mommyin10- Thinking of you today!! Hope those levels have dropped a bit so you can trigger tonight, and have your ER on Thursday!! Keep us posted, and GOOOODDD LUUCCKKK! ;) Oh, I remember you wanted to know about Sean's business! He started his own tree trimming business, and he's doing really, really well so far! His hope is that after the baby is born that I'll be able to stay home and do paper work, payroll, answer the phone, etc... If not, I decided I'll get on with the state since I'll have benefits and can start saving for retirement... Gotta think about the future! :)
Keyan- Nope, no more fighting! Which I'm glad about! They're still getting fixed, and I'm hoping that will help to calm them down and they won't fight. Yes, we had a great time! :) We'll definately have more time to do something else together before the baby comes, and then we get to start planning family vacations! Can't wait! :)
Mrspace- I LOVE your thinking!! Keep the positive attitude up, and we'll all be praying for your BFP for you as well! :) I looked at your chart, and it looks great!!! :) Hope you are starting to feel better today!
Dnikki- Congrats on your trip! Wow, that sounds awesome! :) I felt like I was showing super early too, but Im JUST now in maternity! It happened this weekend! ;) I have 1 pair of old navy jean shorts and I put them on this weekend after my shower, and they fit! But when I went to sit down... a whole different story! lol ;) So I'm officially in maternity shorts/capris now, still holding off on the shirts so my belly will show off better! :) Even though it's clearly BIG! Haha!! :) We took a couple pics over the weekend. I'll be sure and post them! :) Can't wait to see your u/s pic!!
Well, I'm off today but I gotta run to the bank and put some money in there. Then i'll be finishing cleaning this house, and then running to the mall to get a few more pairs of maternity shorts. All mine are basically jean maternity shorts that I have now, and I can't wear blue jeans to work. Any excuse to go shopping, right? lol ;)

Hey everyone. I didnt know that I would be so busy with a newborn! I think we went to the doctor everyday for the first week of his life. He had jondus(spelling) really bad and had to be put on one of those light blankets. It was a pain and he had to be on it for a week. He still has a low level of jondus and they said that it is bc it takes breast fed babies longer to get rid of it. Then he wasnt gaining weight like he should bc of the jondus so it took him 3 weeks to get back to his birth weight. We have to go back Friday to get his weight rechecked. Then his skin on his lil thing grew back in a small area so he is going to have to get recut... no fun. His doctor said they probably wouldnt do it until he was 6 months to a year... Im hoping they will do it sooner than later. Poor baby. I cant beleive he is almost a month old!
Other than that everything is going good. Olivia still doesnt like the fact that she isnt the baby anymore... which means she cries all the time for no reason. I put 2 new pictures up from the fourth of the kids.
I hope everyone is doing well! SSBD to all

Hi Ladies,
Sorry for being MIA. It's been a busy time! We had our floors done last week and were at my parent's house from Thurs to Sunday. Well within an hour of arriving at my parent's house on Thursday I started to bleed heavily (sigh!). John and I rushed to the closest hospital which is very close to where my parents live. They kept me for 24 hours monitoring me and Jake and to ensure the bleeding stopped. So, the rest of the weekend I was pretty much in bed. I had an appt today and my doctor has put me back on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy :( So I have to stop working pretty much immediately. I'm just happy that I am only 5 weeks away from my c-section and that of course Jake is doing perfectly fine...almost 4lbs!! (and the floors look good!) It's a bit stressful because I have to wrap up work really fast and fill in all the mat leave forms etc.
Mommyin10 - So excited for you and all of your wonderful follies!!! That is so great. Can't wait for your ER on Thursday...yay!
Luvkayln - Glad you had a nice camping trip and that you have a new family member! Turtles are very cute. Great news about Sean's business and your plan. That is amazing!
Looloo - twins?? How exciting!!! I know it is a bit nerve wracking at this stage but just stay positive and take care of yourself. They will be just fine!
Mrspace - Fingers crossed for you this cycle!!
Rachjas - Can't wait for your beta friday....sending positive thoughts your way!!!
Candie - Congrats on being 1dpo! Look forward to your update!
Well...sorry for the short update but I have a meeting with my manager very soon to break the news that I am finished work as of...now! I'll be around much more over the next little while! :)

Stacey: Girl! Take it easy lol :-) I'm sorry you started bleeding again but so thankful everything is okay :-) I'm glad Little Jake has just 5 more wks to bake in there and then he can come meet you guys!
Luvkayln: I picked up a couple of maternity tanks just b/c they are looser in the belly - and they are sooo comfy lol. All my reg stuff still fits, but it just kinda looks like I'm just fat instead of p/g through clothes lol - I guess I just haven't popped yet! Have fun shopping!!
Mommyin10: How's everything going?
Well baby officially does not like cocoa - and it sounded so good this morning so I had a cup along with a granola bar - yup all came back up. So today, I've been struggling with what sounds good and tastes good. I picked up some chicken pot pies (not exactly real healthy) but I don't really like to look/smell/cook raw meat right now. But I had one for lunch and it tasted really good! Now I'm making some cinnamon rolls lol. Mmmmmmm :-) I also took an hour and a half nap this afternoon while DS was down (and he still is yay!). Anyways, I'll check back in later :-) Hope everyone has a good day!
Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

My estrogen has dropped & now we're all set for trigger tonight & retrieval on Thursday morning! Yay :)
Stacey: I'm so sorry you had a stressful weekend, but like dnikki said, I'm so glad you & Jake are ok! I'm sure it's hard to wrap up at work with such short notice! Hang in there & take it easy :) Just 5 more weeks to go!!! I'm glad your floors turned out so nice & you're now back in your own home :)
dnikki: That's great you found something the baby likes! Gosh, I haven't had a chicken pot pie in years! :)
jessie: Cute pics! Sorry Zachary has had some speed bumps! He sure is a cutie :)
