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.

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! =)

Rachjas: Yay for your transfer!!! Friday will be here before you know it! How are you feeling? Congrats on having 2 transfered and 3 frozen - That's awesome!!!

Candie: How are you doing? I saw on the other thread you had u/s's done to watch for O...Are you doing IUI this time around?

jmh: We live just a couply of hours from pittsburgh - Our RE here is awesome. He gets people from other countries even just so they can get the proper testing done! If you want, send me a message and I'll give you his name and location and such. Sorry your current RE is.....not so great (I'm being nice lol).

I forgot, I'm going to post pics from this weekend and I'm going to attempt to take pics of my u/s pics b/c for some reason my scanner isn't doing it's job.

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 =)

Thanks!!!

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!
