TTC After a Loss
~?*??*?~Ladies In Waiting Check In~?*??*?~
This is a group designed for all the ladies in the various stages of waiting after a loss: waiting to miscarry, waiting for AF to arrive, waiting to TTC again, and waiting for a BFP. Since this process is such a true test in patience, it is nice to have the support and friendship of other women going through similar experiences and emotions. Check in every Tuesday and Thursday.
New members: Post an introduction and your current TTC status and I will add you to the list! Welcome :-)
Current members: Post your updates, link to your chart, upcoming appointments, prayer requests, and if you get a BFP, please feel free to post here (along with your EDD).
There will be a question, a place for prayer request, and an inspirational quote and verse. I look forward to getting to know you.
To keep track of all your favorite Ladies In Waiting visit the Official Group Website!~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~

Re: ~?*??*?~Ladies In Waiting Check In~?*??*?~
Hi everyone! I am waiting to test. I am at 8 dpo today and thinking this could be it although how could I be that lucky? I'll probably test tomorrow (since I got a bfp at 9 dpo last time). Good luck and prayers for everyone!
QOTD : Hmmm, I picked up some dunkin donuts coffee on the way to work. That is always a treat for me!
AF is kicking my butt. I took a sick day and I'm curled up on the futon eating crackers and drinking water while bumping. Blech. But she will be gone soon and then we can get this TTC show on the road!
QOTD: Nothing. Unless you call staying home sick something. I would love to change it to something exciting but I feel too crappy to do much. So... watch movies?
Oh, and MegMeg updated on PgAL about Mork. There were still no heartbeats and she is scheduled for a D&C. My heart if breaking for her.

My Blog: The Canadian Housewife PGAL/PAL Welcome My Chart
After my body cooperated so well last month and I O'd on CD 16, I was hopeful for this month, but I'm fearing my body reverted to it's old ways. I'm currently on CD 22 and will hopefully O today (got a positive OPK on Sunday and yesterday). While CD 22 isn't horribly late, I'm afraid my cycles will just get longer and longer again. I guess it's wait and see. Dr. wanted us to try 2 cycles on our own to see what my body was doing before determining where to go from here. chart
QOTD: Today I am going out to dinner w/ a friend I haven't seen in a long time and going shopping for a new dress.
Thanks for the update. I didn't lurk too much on PgAL. I am so sad for her. It is just not fair.
Danielle
QOTD: I've painted my toenails. That is about the extent of my excitement for the day so far. I will probably go on a bike ride later when dh gets home to watch the girls.

I'm waiting for AF... I had a temp drop yesterday to just above the coverline, and today it dropped just below. Hurry up and get here, AF! When she shows, I'll call the RE and find out if I can start IVF in August or if I've missed the cut-off. I hope I can still do it.
QOTD: I'm having lunch with some friends and I'm stopping to shop on the way home (for clothes).

Thank you for the welcome!
QOTD: I'm taking it easy today- that's something right? I'm giving myself a break from the housework, logging back on and updating fertility friend, and eating chocolate covered almonds. That's about it!
QOTD: Today I am hopefully getting a job!! I meet with the owner at 2pm! FX
Well Thursday I was really excited because I thought I was getting AF, well today that b!tch still isn't here! So much for being hopeful
But on a positive note, I'm super excited that there is going to be a NFL season!!! That means when we go to NY in November (my first time) that we will get to go to a game:) Giants vs Seahawks I believe it is..... Just one more thing for me to have to "wait "for
After waiting for what seemed forever, got CD1. What a tease! I guess I'll be waiting to O.
QOTD: After work and after all my running around I have to do (get blood work and get my prescription for Femara), I'm going to relax and have some
Because of the great "Snow"vember of 2015, my medicated cycle was cancelled. However, we were blessed with our little rainbow baby due on 8/14/15! Baby J had other plans and decided to make his grand ole entrance on 7/4/2015!
Surprise! Our little girl entered this world on 12/8/2016 after her eviction notice was long past due. Our little turkey baby turned into a snow baby!
Thank you Danielle for the shoutout.
I took an IC test this morning and it came back +.
according to my ovulation date and LMP my EDD is April 7, 2012
I am terrified!
QOTD: I am waiting to hear back from a job today, so FX I get it! other than that I may go out for some icecream later!
Hi Ladies!
Update: still nothing on the AF front. I got a negative test on Saturday & was pretty bummed out. I have no clue if I ovulated late or not. I hope, among all hopes, that we hit the target so to speak. If I can hold out, I will test again Friday or Saturday if nothing happens. So fingers crossed this is it... I am really at a loss with what is going on otherwise. I could just be having the never ending cycle.
I am honestly affraid to test. I don't want to see another negative. So I will hold out as long as possible.
QOTD: Something for myself, eh? I got nothing. Hopefully I can get out for a walk or run tonight when I get home to ease my mind. That would be awesome.

Hi everyone, I am new here. I have lurked about for a few days, but decided now was as good as any to make my first post. I just had a natural m/c last wednesday at 6w2d. My ob is having DH and I take a cycle off of ttc so I fall in the boat of waiting for AF.
QOTD: Today- grocery shopping and hanging with the H when he gets off. I am going to try and con him into going and doing something this evening =D.

I got + OPKs yesterday and today so we're humping a lot! I will expect AF on August 8, which is when we're on a cruise. Question is, do I bring HPTs and tampons? Just tampons? Just HPTs? Nothing?
QOTD: we're getting a new, free dryer tonight! It makes me better because our current, 25-year-old dryer makes our clothes smell like vomit.

I'm in the 2ww, 3 dpo. I'm going to try not to poas until AF is due. Not much else to report on that end.
QOTD- I think tonight maybe we'll go get some ice cream...the good stuff from the dairy farm.

Hi everyone! I'm pretty bummed today. I know it's only been 3.5 weeks, but I already feel like AF will never ever come back. My mind has gone back to day one of TTC when I would go months without a cycle.... I really hope I'm wrong and she will surprise me by showign up.
I am also waiting for my doc to call back about the genetics results. I've only been waiting since Friday!!! Grr.
I thought I had some ovulation pain last week, but who knows. I can never tell. I just started charting last week, so it is really crazy looking right now. There is no way I can tell what's going on yet...
QOTD: Nada outside of going for a smoothie at lunch.
Our baby boy,Logan, was born still at 19w3d on 7/1/2011
Our 2nd baby boy, Mason, was born still at 20w3d on 1/31/2012

Hi Everyone!
Congrats on the BFP wave! I have started charting more consistently but was pretty confused this morning when my temp dropped quite a bit. I just finished AF a little over a week ago so I don't know what the temp drop is indicating. Anyways, I am still waiting at least one more cycle and hoping it passes quickly!
QOTD: Today I let myself sleep in. Usually I am up early and at the gym by 6 a.m. but this morning, I just couldn't do it. Since it was cooler my kitty came up and snuggled with me so I slept in a little longer than I should have, but oh well!
Hoping my 2nd AF since the m/c comes in the next few days-will be a sign I'm back on track.
QOTD: Eating some chocolate!
Currently waiting to O. Could be today through the end of the week. Excited because it looks like my body didn't skip a beat after the CP!
QOTD: Done nothing so far today for myself (although I will be BDing tonight with DH!), but yesterday I got myself a big, fat ice cream cone!
I finally got my first post m/c AF on Sunday! HOORAY! I am anxious now to see if this current cycle will be wonky. Let the countdown to O begin.
QOTD: Hmmm, my initial answer was definitely nothing. To change that I have decided to leave DD with DH this afternoon and go to the range and hit a bucket of balls, not overly exciting but at least it is something!
DD born 4/3/10 BFP 4/9/11 missed mc @10w4d- forever loved
BFP 8/21/11 EDD 4/29/12
Today I will read something not TTC related...like a book not a magazine.
No new updates.
My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Thanks hun!
((((HUGS)))) I "heart" you. Hang in there.

Congrats!!! Praying this is your sticky baby!
Hi everyone. This is our first TTC cycle after our m/c and I'm currently in the 2WW. We'd been not trying/trying since Jan before our BFP in May and I just feel like time is running out on me due to my age. No symptoms and our timing was off this month so basically I'm waiting on AF later this week.
Good luck to those waiting to O and those in the 2WW! Hope AF stays far, far away! Hugs to those on the CD1 wave.
QOTD: Our wedding album arrived today from our photographers and due to a mixup at the production facility we received 2 free parent albums. They're all gorgeous and totally stopped the pity party I was about to throw today.
Kimberly
I'm currently in the 2ww. I'm trying not to get too hopeful, since I don't chart and am not sure about exact dates. This was supposed to be our "try without REALLY trying" month, but, of course I'm still so anxious. I will be on vacation in New York camping with IL's when AF if supposed to show. Another reason why I'm hoping this is a good month - camping while AF is here is NO FUN!
QOTD: Um... today is my day off so I have tons of cleaning to do. :-( And I have to go get a TB shot for work. Yuck! I think once I get home (and get a few things done) I'll just lay on the couch and Bump and eat yummy food!
And congrats to all the BFP!!!!!! Have a H&H 9 months!
Hi All. I'm waiting for AF or BFP. AF was due yesterday and no signs of her yet. My last two cycles were 24 days but the one before than was 28 so I need to just wait this one out?
QOTD: I'm going to see my best friend and her twin babies tonight. I love being around those babies. They make me feel so calm and at peace with myself.
Update: Waiting for a BFP or AF. I'm trying not to pay attention to MF or how many DPO I am. I am not going to waste $$ on tests this month unless I'm actually late.
GTKY: I went to the gym this morning.

Hi Ladies, I am currently waiting to O (should be next Monday or Tuesday), and then start on my hormones for IVF. Eeeekkk!!!
I am recovering from viral gastroenteritis - I was so sick this whole weekend, and being sick when it's 100+ degrees out is not fun. I wanted to die.
QOTD: I'm not doing anything for myself (just working). I really need to change that huh?

I'm waiting to test. I've been playing with my chart methods. I like research better this month. Going by that I"m 6DPO
QOTD: I went to the gym for a workout although I didn't feel like it at lunch and had a nice refreshing shower....now waiting for quitting time so I can go home and chillax.
Hello Everyone!
It's been a minute since I've updated on one of these. Well, we're not officially trying but we're not not trying. We're seeing what happens and if it happens around the time I'm fertile, bonus!
What have I done for myself? I'm looking at a Louis Vuitton bag. I've been looking at one for the past six years but I think I'm finally going to get one this fall.
Hi ladies. I am back from an unexpected bump break. I had to travel to NJ for work. WOW is it hot there (and I live in FL).
I am waiting to O. Should be any day now. Blood work on Thursday to double check my progesterone and then it's off to clomid and progesterone next cycle.
It sure would be nice to have a BFP for my birthday next month.
Question of the day:
Hopefully getting a good nights rest. I havent slept very well since my trip to NJ. Also editing pictures from the wedding I shot last weekend.
PGAL/PAL welcome

Femara + Trigger + IUI#2 = BFP!
"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." ~Gandhi
so many BFPs and CD1s this week. Wow!
I am waiting for AF (my second since D&C) so that we can get this freaking show on the road here. Cannot believe she isn't here already, trying not to get too angry, but TTA will do that to a person, I guess. I charted and ovulated MUCH earlier than my usual this month, and I was hoping my LP would be the same, nice and short 10 days. No such luck, on 14 DPO now and getting antsy. Whatever.
QOTD: I am just finishing a nice glass of wine. And I'm off to finish a book I've been reading for some more 'me' time---The Help. Love it!
