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.

dnikki: Happy 25 Weeks!!! :)

ad_06: Happy Birthday!!! :)

sbumblebeeo: I agree, don't feel guilty for feeling the way you do. We're all here for you
& we all know how difficult the pregnancy has been for you. Like luvkayln, I've been enjoying mine, but she & I haven't been nearly as sick as you since day 1. We all have the same goals on this thread, to get that long-awaited BFP & to hold our beautiful, healthy babies :) Hang in there! Your anatomy scan will ease your mind, I'm sure :)

Keyan: Your chart is looking soooo good! Okay, we'll pray for high temps & no AF & a
BFP in 5 days!!! I'm definitely rubbing the double belly for you! :)

Luvkayln: Your U/S pics are adorable as always, especially Miss Personality sticking out
her tongue! :-) Too cute! I'm so happy everything went well at your appt. & you've got
her b-day set! Yes, the 7th & 17th are perfect! I hope dh feels better soon! Poor guy ;(

Kmcarino:  Yes, I'm excited, but nervous about our appt next week. I'm hoping & praying we get some answers & good news ;) I'm sorry, but what is vbs testing? Good luck at your u/s tomorrow!

[ad_06]

Thanks for the birthday wishes! It was a long day, didn't get home till after 7. But it's okay, I'll enjoy today! I'm getting ready to go to the dr. I will update ASAP! Keep your fingers crossed for a bunch of follies!!!! I OPKed again this morning and it was neg. I'll check in once I get back......

[sbumblebeeo]

All-
Just when you thought it couldn't get worse...it does.  Yesterday while here at work I went to the bathroom around 11:30, had lunch and almost 2 hours later went pee again.  This time my panties were wet through to my pants.  Just a little on my pants but still, in two hours?  I've noticed a lot more discharge on a daily basis with being pregnant and the book says it's normal so I didn't really think too much about it but in two hours I had seen more than I typically do in 8 hours plus it was clear and thin like water.  I called my nurse Kathy and she talked to the Dr and he wanted me to come in right away.  He did a PH test and some "pedatric" scope and said it looked clear of amniotic fluid but I need to be careful b/c I am so high risk due to my smaller uterus and high risk for preterm labor.  DH asked if it was due to us having intercorse Saturday and told him that I had some weird pains for two days after that.  Doc said it might be and from now on we need to refrain from any sex.  The funny thing is we've only done it about 4 times since I got pregnant and every time there has been some issue, this, or bleeding, or cramps.  Doctor is very interested in my anatomy scan on monday and told me to ask them the length of my uterus to see how much room we are actually working with.  It is all very scary and today I am SO sore from his poking around.  He checked my cervix and said it feels hard and closed just like it should.  Poor Doc looks at DH like "I'm sorry I'm about to shove my hand up her paper dress".  LOL  I wonder if it is as hard for him as it is us sometimes?  K, so that's it for now.  Well see what happens from now until Monday.  I am ready for the weekend.

[Keyan]

sbumbleebleo: what a scare! I am glad your cervix is closed!! ...My cousing and her DH tells me that during both pregnancies, they didn't have intercorse since the time they found out she was pregnant....not that it was order by a doc or anything, just by choice...they wanted to make sure that nothing they did would harm the baby.. probably dh and I decide also on not having any sex...after 4years of ttc...lots of BDing, a 9+ month period break doesn't seem so bad!!  I will keep you in my prayers hoping everything is fine and continues to be fine!  

Ad_06: Good luck on your appt today! keep us posted!

Scripps: Good luck today!! Hoping you get a huge surprise!

Luvkayln: Happy 33 weeks!! How is Dh doing? what did the doc say!

Mommyin10: Happy 19 weeks!! Thanks for rubbing your double belly for me....I am starting to feel a little anxious, but I really want to wait after saturday (estimate AF due date) to take a test....ummmm perhaps tomorrow.....the issue with me not testing, is really because I don't have any HPT at home and I HATE to go to the drug store to buy them!! I feel like everyone is looking at me, and I hate to think someone that I know sees me buying the test and comes to me to ask the question!! agrrrrr!! maybe tonight I will stop at another city drug store and buy one!!

[luvkayln]

sbumbleebleo: OMG, that is so scary!! I'm glad you called your doctor right away! That's awesome your cervix is still long and closed! But are they thinking you are leaking amniotic fluid??! I'm with Keyan on the whole sex thing. Dh and I don't have sex, we probably only have about 4 or 5 times this whole pregnancy! I just know that's how we lost Kayln, although we were having a little rougher sex when it happened, it still scares the hell out of me to even attempt to have sex, especially since we're so close to having her now! It's just not worth it! Like Keyan said, after all we go through to try and even get pregnant, why risk anything when it comes to your baby? And if you're having issues after, I agree with the doctor that you should refrain. The weekend will be here and gone before you know it, and we'll all be praying for great results on Monday for you sweetie! But I know everything will be OK! Just take it easy! :)

Kmcarino- Good luck with your u/s today! Too bad you're not able to post pics of your 2 sweeties! So, what is the vbs testing that you're getting soon? Is that on the babies?? Update after your appointment today! :)

Ad_06- Yes, we're all praying for lots of nice big follies for you today!!! :) I'm glad you had a nice birthday, and I know you'll get great news today and have another wonderful day! Can't wait for your update!!! :)

Scripps- Good luck with your beta today!! I'm praying for great news!!! :)

Keyan-OMG, i'm totally stalking your chart! lol ;) It  looks GREAT! I would be going crazy right now wanting to buy a test if my chart looked that awesome! I think you're such a strong person to want to wait tho, just to see if AF wants to show up, but I really have an awesome feeling that this is your month girlie!!! :)

Mommyin10- Happy 19 weeks! Woo hoo!!!! :) Thanks for the photo comments! I know, isn't she just a little cutie, already showing off! lol ;) I just love her so much and I am just SO proud of her that she's improving so much each week! It's just an awesome feeling to know that she's doing so great and is doing above and beyond on her tests each week! :)

Ok, so Sean's appointment went really well! (Keyan, thanks for asking! :) At the ER, they told him they would have to have surgery, no matter what! But at the surgeon's office yesterday, he said they measure the fracture in levels, and Sean's is at a 2 and they operate at 4 and above, so that's good news! :) They gave him some more pain pills and something to help start bringing the swelling down. He'll have to stay in his sling for a while, but I'm so glad that he should be nice and healed by the time Addy comes! :) Ok, we're starving! Addy doesn't know what day light savings time is! Haha!! :) Hope everyone has a great day!!! :)

[kmcarino]

luvkayln- The CVGS is a test done around 10-11 weeks on each baby to check for any chromosomal problems, tell the gender, and also to see if the babies have my disorder or not.  There is a 50% chance.  I will update after my appointment:)

[pyar]

Hi ladies just a quick update.I went to the docs yesterday to see if i could get the bloodwork i need doing  free on the nhs he's going to let me know so again i'm waiting.Keep your fingers crossed for me we just could do with a break this is just so expensive

Mommyin10 19 weeks wow time is flying
sbumblebeebleo i'm praying all is well with you
keyan i have my fingers crossed for you I can relate to how you feel about buying hpt's
luvkaylyn i hope sean recovers well
anyway will check in again if and when i have something to update

[sbumblebeeo]

luvkayln-  Great news for DH!  I'm so glad.  I've been watching for an update.  I still didn't read how he even managed to do this in the first place?  Fourwheeler accident or something?  I'm glad you're ok and no surgery.

Keyan-  Thanks for your thoughts.  I am with you.  Sex isn't important to me at or DH at all right now.  I just want to get through this pregnacy and end up with a healthy baby.  

mommyin10-  Happy 19 weeks.  Just a few more days and we have our anatomy scans.  I can't wait.

sbumblebeeo:  Thanks :)  Yes, I can't wait for yours & my anatomy scans!  Will they check your cervix length that day, too?  I think you should ask or ask your doc beforehand to suggest it.  That's how I got mine checked.  I'm sorry you had such a scare!  I know it's reassuring to have at least your doc check to see you're still closed up! ;)  When the high risk doc checked my cervix length, it was done via vaginal u/s & it was a doc and u/s tech in the room.  They mentioned being careful with the u/s wand just in case there was already "funneling", meaning the cervix is starting to open, because the wand could make it worse.  Just hearing that made me think NO SEX!  Luckily all was well with mine, but I'm with the rest of you.  Dh and I have not had sex since we found out I was pregnant.  We can wait til our babies are safely home :)  Just a few more days for you!!! :)

Keyan:  Thanks =)  I'm with luvkayln, I'm stalking your chart too & it looks GREAT!!! =)  I know how you feel about buying hpts.  It's not something you want to explain to anyone, so I would always buy them in between work and home ;)  I'm really excited for you & I will definitely keep rubbing my belly for luck!!!  I know it worked for me when Stacey & luvkayln rubbed theirs for me :)  

Pyar:  Good luck with the bloodwork!!!

scripps:  Good luck with your beta! :)

ad_06:  I hope your appt goes well today & you have lots of follies ready to go this cycle! =)  Update asap!

kmcarino:  Good luck today!

luvkayln:  I'm so glad to hear that dh won't need surgery!  What a relief! :)  Now he can relax with you & get all set for Addy's arrival.  Thank God he'll be able to hold his baby when she's born =)  We're already coming up on another u/s for you!!!  Time is just flying by =)

[mommyin10]

Okay, ladies. I'm not freaking out or anything, but my babies need a few extra prayers ;) My ob/gyn called to let me know the bloodwork I did last week came back positive for Down's Syndrome... It doesn't mean one or both babies will have it, but just that I'm at a higher risk. My results came back as 1/54. At my age & the stage in my pregnancy, my results should be 1/150 or higher. So, we scheduled an amnio for our appt next Wed. The anatomy scan can show findings for Down's or other problems, but can also miss 20%. So, we'll meet with the genetic counselor, do the anatomy scan & the amnio. It'll be a long day, hopefully not too emotional... I'm wondering if my testing was done with knowledge I'm having twins or if that even makes a difference. Just 6 days to go...

[sbumblebeeo]

mommyin10-  OMG!  I am so sorry that you didn't get great results of no chance of DS.  Just one more thing to worry about.  I will definetly have you in my thoughts when I go to sleep tonight and pray it all turns out to just be a scare!  

Chin up, positive thoughts...

XOXO

[mommyin10]

Thanks :) I'm staying positive & will hope for great results next week. I read that there's a greater chance of a false positive when you simply do a blood test, as well as my age. So, with the amnio & anatomy scan next week, we should have some answers :) Thanks for your sweet comments. :)

[kmcarino]

mommyin10- I am sorry about yoru blood work results, but like you said, it does not mean that either oen of the babies has Downs.  I really hope that the amniop and anatomy scan will show that both babies are healthy.

AFM, I have some sad news.  Baby B did not make it.  We did nto see or hear the heart beat.  I was confident that I would hear both heart beats today since we saw Baby B's heart rate last week, but the doctor could not see the baby at all...just the yolk sac.   She called my regular doctor and he wants me to come in next week to have him scan me.  I don't know what difference that will make but I have to get blood work anyway for the CVS.  I am so sad that I lost this baby.  This was probably the one that does not have the disorder.

[ad_06]

Sorry it took so long for me to update. We did some Christmas shopping today. Everything went GREAT!!! I have 2 follies that are ready :) He was soooo busy today, they were running like an hour behind, so he never said how big they were or anything.....after the u/s he gave me a perscription for Overdril (250mcg), I had to run to Walgreens and get it and take it back there. I got my shot and we are doing IUI in the morning! Yay! I have never taken Overdril, so hopefully it does make them release. I told the nurse about the progesterone and she said that they will give me a script for it tomorrow and usually you start taking it 3 days after the IUI. Keep your fingers crossed girls!!!! I'm so excited!!!

[mommyin10]

kmcarino: I'm so sorry to hear about baby b ;( If the doc wants you to see your regular doc next week, does that mean there's still hope?

Ad_06: Congrats on two beautiful follies & best wishes for your iui tomorrow! :)

[ad_06]

Okay ladies.....today is the day :) I just have a ? Like I said I have never taken Overdril before, so I don't know what to expect. Will it give me a + OPK, just because I took it. Or am I really O? I tested late last night and got a smiley, and got another one this morning :) I just wanted to be sure that Overdril doesn't give you a false +. Hopefully the nurse will do an U/S too, so I know that they released. So I guess after today I will finally be in the tww!!

[Keyan]

Mommyin10: I am sorry you have a new thing to worry about ;o) ... I will def keep you and the babies on my prayers!

Kmcarino: I am sorry about baby B ;o(

Ad_06: Congrats on the +opk, Good luck today with the IUI!!

So yesterday night me and dnikki were able to meet here in PR and it was really nice to meet her and dh....and awww I GOT to RUB her Belly!! (thanks dnikki)... she has the cutes belly bump and a beautiful pregnancy glow!!

I decide to buy an HPT yesterday right after work and of course I couldn't wait until today, so I got a BFN yesterday afternoon ;o( ...I am a little sad, but now I am just preparing myself for AF, so it was a good idea after all to take test....I just hope AF doesn't keep me waiting.

[luvkayln]

Keyan- How cool that you and dnikki got to meet yesterday! :) I'm sure you loved rubbing her belly! Aww...! ;) I'm sorry about the bfn tho, but don't give up hope! I know it's better to prepare for the worst, but Addy still has her little fingers crossed for you! ;) I'll check your chart out here in a minute, it's been looking SO great, I just think you should wait and see if AF does show and then maybe retest WHEN she doesn't! ;)

Mommyin10- I'm sorry about the blood test, but you're absolutely right! Those things give such a high rate of false positives, that's why I never get them! My doctor with Kayln warned me of that, and so that's when I decided I would never take them b/c why stress out for nothing?! I know you had to get the test done b/c of the babies being boy/girl from one embryo (Possibly!) and that's interesting that you probably do get a much more unaccurate result if there are 2! We'll just be patient for next week, and I just know you'll get great results!! :)

Ad_06- Wow, congrats on your 2 beautiful follies and how exciting you get your iui today! Gosh, it's a good thing your u/s was yesterday, you may have missed your O!! lol ;) That was quick! ;) The Ovidrel will give you a + on your opk, but it WILL ensure that you ovulate! I've taken them with every iui cycle, and actually they should do an u/s tomorrow to ensure that you did ovulate. Just ask them about it. They won't do one before your iui because you want your eggs to be there right now. :) Good luck!! I'm confident this is your month!! :)

sbumblebeeo: Thanks, I'm relieved he didn't have to have surgery either! :) He's still taking it easy, but like Mommyin10 said, it's a huge relief that he can actually hold Adalynn when she's born! :) Oops, did I forget to tell you all how it happened?! Well, he's a tree trimmer, and he lifted these huge tree stumps onto the trailor and that's what we're pretty sure did it. The surgeon "rates" the break of the bone, and anything over a 4 needs surgery and his is only at a 2, so that's good! :) I hope you're continuing to take it easy! Monday will be here before you know it! :)

Kmcarino-OMG, I'm so sorry about baby b! :( I know how heartbreaking it is, especially after seeing them both perfectly fine last week! Let's just pray for baby a that he/she stays strong! When will you do the testing for your disorder and when will you get the results? I know what happened last time, and it makes me nervous for you to test this baby, but I pray that this pregnancy turns out different for you! :)

Scripps- How'd your beta go yesterday??

Dnikki- Hope you're having a great time! :) I bet it was cool getting to meet Keyan! I bet she's even sweeter in person! ;)

[luvkayln]

Keyan- Your chart still looks absolutely awesome!! Remember, we weren't EXACTLY sure when you O'd, it may have been a day or two off, so please wait and don't give up!! I really do have a great feeling for you this month!!! :)

[scripps]

Hello everybody,
mommyin10: I so admire your strength and hope that all will be well.
kmcarino: You too deserve a break, so my thoughts are with you.
keyan: I struggle with the hpt's too.  I bought a bunch when I was in the U.S. this summer and made myself crazy with them this cycle, because for 2 days, it looked like they might be positive.  I think I might avoid them from now on.
luvkayln: It's so nice that you have time for everyone.  You must be getting so excited.

So, my bloodwork showed no pregnancy.  I did some research on the estrogen, and it seems that it should be low at this point.  In fact, it's better that it is, since low estrogen at the beginning of a cycle usually leads to better stimulating.  My period started yesterday, so today is day 2.

I was very disappointed when my new doctor didn't call me yesterday.  He had the bloodwork results, and I left a message.  He had told me to stay on the medications until he could see the results of the second test, but then he never called, never responded to my message.  When I talked to him today, he told me to start treatment--and he hadn't told me to take anything for this month, so I think he was confused about who I am!!!  I mean, there's no way I could do ivf's back to back, and he never gave me a protocol to follow if we got a negative result.  I suppose he might have returned my call without looking at the file, and maybe he's tired too, and maybe I just expect too much, but I can't tell  you how upsetting I find that kind of inaccuracy.  I went through it with my last doctor, and I just can't bear it again.  We're seeing him on Monday, and he really needs to win back my trust.  

I hope we all get some rest this weekend.

[kmcarino]

mommyin10- The doctor I saw last night called the doctor I usually see and who saw me last week.  She wanted to talk to him about what he actually saw.  He told her that he saw the yolk sac, fetal pole, and heart beat.  He told her that he wanted to bring me in early next week for HIM to scan me, which I don't really understand why since it can't make a difference if Baby B already passed.  I don't think there is any hope since they definitely saw its heart beat last week and I don't see how it could go backwards in development.

luvkayln- I am feeling so very down right now.  Your note made me cry.  I can't bear to think of the same thing happening as last time.  I am also very nervous about getting the results from the CVS.  The CVS will most likely be on Monday Nov. 22nd and I will get the gender results and whether there are any chromosomal concerns the day or so after and will get the result of whether it has my disorder around two weeks and one day after the CVS, so around Dec. 8th.  You will already have Addy in your arms when I find out--that is so very exciting for you:)

[sbumblebeeo]

kmcarino-  I'm very sorry to hear about baby B.  I was so convinced that you would get to see to perfect little beings.  I truly didn't see this coming.  I am so sad for you.  These pregnancy hormones some times get the best of me and I sit at this stupid PC and drip tears into my keyboard.  :(  So much bad news lately.  You, mommyin10, scripps...and then there's my scare with the leaking fluid.  Well let me just say when it rains it pours, and on all of us apparently.  The next round it going to be great news.  You will find out that baby A is perfectly normal, mommyin10 will soon see that the babies have NO DS, scripps will get her BFP next month and me...I'm going to find out exactly what my uterus looks like and be able to relax a little.  That's just the way it's going to be or my name isn't....SHANNON!  (And it is)   :)   Try to chear up.  I can't imagine how you feel.  I am sorry.

scripps:  I'm sorry for the negative beta ;(  I'm also sorry that you're not feeling confident with your doc.  Sure, he could be tired or overworked, but it's important that you feel like his most important client & get the accurate information you need.  I hope at your appt with him on Monday, he does regain your trust.  Take care!

Keyan:  I'll chek out your chart, but I agree with luvkayln...  don't expect AF just yet.  Everything looks so good & it is still early at 14dpo.  Wait through the weekend & see how you're feeling.  If AF doesn't show, test again!  We'll all be praying & rubbing bellies for you!!! =)  That's exciting that you & dnikki got to meet! =)

luvkayln:  Thank you!  It's funny how I keep getting news that could go either way & it initially freaks me out, but then I feel a sense of calm come over me.  I need to protect my babies & stay as optimistic as possible ;) I'm honestly not worried about DS.  It's scary to be told that you're in the range for "something", but I feel like we'll get great results next week.  You're right that the only reason we tested is because of our u/s last week...  DS is really the least of our concerns, but we're hoping and praying that our babies are perfectly healthy little ones! =)  On the 35 and over forum, women were posting their test results for DS in response to my concern & one was 1/18 and the amnio shows she has a perfectly healthy baby =)  So, just a few days to go...

sbumblebeeo:  Read my post to luvkayln :)  Just a few more days til your anatomy scan!  I'm so excited for you.  I heard they're done in 3D, so well really get to see our little ones :)  Have a great weekend!

sbumblebeeo- Thank you so much for your support.  You are right--there has been some bad news and scares for everyone lately but hopefully everything will turn out well like you said.  I was also very confident that I would hear both heart beats but we didn't.  I am feeling pretty down today.  I still can't believe this has happened.

I know it's gotta be really hard, but try to stay positive for your little one. He/she needs mommy to be strong ;)
