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! =)

I just got the call & here's my update: 21 eggs were retrieved. From that, 19 were mature for ICSI & 16 fertilized! There's 1 they said was in delayed fertilization & then 2 that didn't fertilize. So, my transfer is Tuesday! I'll call them Monday afternoon to find out what time =)
luvkayln: Thank you! =)
rachjas: Can't wait for your update!!! =)
luvkayln: Thank you! =)
rachjas: Can't wait for your update!!! =)
Rachjas- I left you a note, well...2 notes.. haha!! :) But Congrats again!! I'm just so excited for you, and I know you will get awesome numbers today!! I'm already ready for your u/s to see how many you have in there! ;) Good luck today!! Yay, another one added to the list! :) I knew you'd be back there soon sweetie, I'm just so happy! You and dh are blessed! :)
Mommyin10- Update us asap today, k??? I just can't wait to hear how many little embies fertilized! :) I'll be praying for a 5 day transfer, so your "2ww" will be cut in half! Haha!! :) Aww... I bet that was scary to hear that other girl telling her husband that! Yikes, and right before you went in!!! At least yours was a success and you got 21 out! Yay!!! I work until 9 tonight, but I'll be checking asap to hear yours and Rachjas's GREAT news!! :) Oh and YES, seriously watch that movie! I think I told you a LONG time ago to watch it, b/c it totally relates to you! I won't spoil it for you though! ;) Happy resting! :)
Mrspace- Your chart looks absolutely amazing! That temp spike today is beautiful!! :) Maybe your little one(s) implanted yesterday, and that spike today is a sign of it! Ooh, I hope so!! :) I know you're so anxious to test, and I'm sure this just pushes that anxiety, but hold off for a few more days! ;) I tested at 9dpiui and got a +, but didn't want to get my hopes up b/c I just thought it was from the shot, but maybe you can start testing after then?? Good luck either way! If you can hold off, good for you! ;)
Stacey- Thanks for the note! :) I loved that! " Happy sweet 16 weeks!" That was cute! :) So happy 32 weeks to you!! You're just moving right along! :)
Dnikki- Glad to hear your u/s went so great yesterday! :) Did you get some new cute pics? Post them when you can, k? :) Were you really sick like this with DS? Maybe it's another BOY?! ;)

**************************************************************
Good morning & thanks so much for all your support! It means so much =) I'm home today & expect to hear from my doc re: my embryos and how they're doing. I'll be sure to update once I hear from them! =)
rachjas: Yay! I'm so happy for you!!! =) I can't wait to see what your beta results are. When will you find out? Congrats to you & dh!!!
Keyan: That was such a funny story, you made me laugh! Enjoy your vacation from work, but do keep in touch! =) Enjoy!
Candie: That's great that you got some answers from your new doc! Seriously, if you can take something at those three different points in your cycle & it works, Wow! That's all I can say =) It's amazing that they can figure out just what's right for our body. I'm so happy & hopeful for you!
luvkayln: Thanks! As I was getting ready, in gown & cap on the gurney, to go into the operating room, there was a girl next to me (separated by a curtain) who was in recovery. She was telling her husband they retrieved 3 eggs, but couldn't get to them vaginally, so ended up going through her abdomen... That made me a little nervous! haha =) But mine went well & I don't remember a thing from the time they started administering the anesthesia til the time I woke up and was being wheeled into recovery :) I should hear from them by 10:00 a.m. If I don't, I'm supposed to call them. I'll know today when my retrieval will be as well. I'm guessing a 5-day transfer 'cause they said the more you get, the later the transfer will be. If they're of poor quality or there are fewer than 6, they'll do a 3-day transfer. So, hopefully my little ones are doing well =)
Hannah: Thanks =) I think your mind is consumed by ttc at the moment & that's why you're having such dreams. I think everyone worries about being a good mom, so try not to read too much into your dreams. I'm sure you'll be a lovely mom =) Take care!
dnikki: I'm glad to hear your u/s went so well & your little one is measuring perfectly at 8 weeks! =) I hope you continue to feel better & the meds help!
Stacey: Thanks!!! I'll definitely update today once I hear how the little ones are progressing :) It is so exciting! I'm feeling better today, but I don't want to be up & around too much. I plan to watch the movie Baby Mama today :) So many people told me about it & that Tina Fey had a T-shaped uterus, so I have to check it out :) I'm glad you're keeping busy & yes, time will fly by! Take it easy =)
Pyar: Thanks for the well wishes =) Oh & when I got pregnant in April, dh & I bd'd 1 time and 1 time only!!! We were totally not trying & didn't expect it, so.... you never know! =) Best of luck to you & congrats on getting your appt!!!
mrspace: Wow, pneumonia!? I hope you're feeling better today. It's too bad you're at work. Be sure to rest as much as possible. Maybe being sick is why your temps are fluctuating? Do you think you'll test soon? Good luck to you!!! =)
