~?*??*?~Ladies In Waiting Check In~?*??*?~

coreysmomma

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.

I'm still classified a newb! AF just came to visit the day before yesterday, so the wait is on for her to go away. I did order some wondfo's off Amazon yesterday after seeing everybody talk about them. Yay!

 

QoftD: We're taking our hyperactive dog to the dog park so she can run and play with doggy friends. I imagine we'll come home and watch the FSU game. Other than that, nothing set in stone.

Hey Ladies! Half way through my last cycle TTA. SO this time next month will be baby dancing again...Yay!

We have 3 halloween parties to go to this weekend so it will be busy! Still not 100% on my costume...kinda a procrastinating fall.  I'm sure I'll figure something out before tomorrow night.

Hi Ladies! I'm being kind of obsessive waiting on AF so I can start TTC again. I think EVERYTHING is a symptom of PMS (and I'm hoping it is). "Ooh I'm craving chocolate! It must be PMS!" "OMG I'm breaking out! PMS!" and so on.  

 My plans this weekend are to hang out with some good friends and to attend a surprise 30th birthday party for one of DH's friends on Saturday.  What I'm really looking forward to is next weekend when two of our best friends are moving to our area. I can't wait!

Morning ladies! Welcome to all the newbs!

 I'm still waiting to O. I'm hoping it comes in the next week, but last cycle it was CD28, so we'll see. Boo.

QOTD: I'm likely working this weekend Double-boo!

bribri81404

Good morning ladies!! Welcome to all the new ladies! Congrats to all those with BFP!! Gives me hope! Will be praying for all those on the prayer list!! No change here! January can't get here fast enough cause I am so ready to get this show on the road!!

QOTD: Saturday is shopping day. Sunday I definitely looking forward to cause it's family day!! Having a big group of family over for the Saints game and cooking yummy food! I really love spending time with our extended family!! Awesome times!

7 DPO, MF has def subsided a bit.  Ironically, I was so upset when MF came on full force at 2 DPO, and now that it's backed off a bit, I'm starting to lose hope in this cycle!  Planning on testing only if I'm late.

QOTD:  DH has been OOT all week and gets back early Saturday, and I can't wait to see him!  Then there will be much football watching and a Halloween party that night.  Sunday will probably be pretty chill, which I'm actually pretty excited about.  Oh, and I play DH in fantasy football this weekend...hope I beat him!

I am still waiting for the first AF after my m/c.  I haven't gotten a positive OPK since then, but I did just get CHs this morning.  I hope its right because that will mean we are that much closer to starting IVF.  I've been so stressed that it would never get here, which I'm sure doesn't help!!

QOTD:  I'm hoping we make time to hang out with my best friend and her husband.  We've been so busy and haven't seen them in forever.  Besides that, nothing else planned.  We are closing on a building lot tomorrow afternoon though, which is exciting!! 

mrsjenni

Morning everyone! Still waiting to O... I think.  I'm hoping my cycle isn't all whacky now.  DH and I have been using the date AF should have arrived prior to my CP/MC as well as the start of the MC as CD1 (like my doc recommended).  I feel like I O'd already according to when AF should have arrived (as if I was never PG) but I'm not sure if it's my body acting weird post MC.  

 Sigh.  FX for this cycle.

This weekend we're headed to a wedding on Saturday (that I can now drink at) and then we have family pictures on Sunday.

I hope everyone has a lovely day!  GL to everyone this cycle!

I guess now would be the best time to join since I'll officially be TTC soon. It's been almost 4 weeks since my m/c. The baby wasn't planned but wasn't being avoided either. So I never did any kind of charting. I started charting right after my m/c since I wanted to know when my body would be returning to normal and ever since my loss, I realized how much I really want a baby so we'll be TTC soon. I am now 8 DPO so I'm waiting for AF to rear her ugly head (well this month she'll be looking mighty beautiful) sometime next week.

I don't really have anything exciting going on this weekend. I'll probably spend most of the weekend just hanging around the house. I actually want next week to come already since I'm excited for AF to come - something I never thought I'd say LOL.

Congrats to those that got their BFP's!  Nothing new besides just taking Estrace this morning and waiting to O.

QOTD: I have to wait on Saturday for my HCG shot to come in the mail and afterwards, DH and I will probably do some grocery shopping.  Sunday, I have to go for a CD 10 cycle scan about an hour and half away.  Afterwards, we're going to go to a wine tasting in the area with some friends.  I'll probably be the DD but it depends on if I'm still on Estrace.

Hope everyone has a safe weekend!

I haven't posted in this thread before but I figure now's a good time to start )

I am waiting for my BFP. I'm at 10dpo today, had another drop in BBT this morning and another BFN so I am probably out but who knows. I feel like I did everything I could to help things along and our timing was as good as it could be under the circumstances so if it didn't work I have to believe that it didn't happen for a reason.

ETA: Oops, forgot the QOTD :

This weekend we need to put up hay for the mini horses for winter. We are in the process of selling a couple of our older mini horses and are looking to add a weanling mini to our horsey family. Hopefully we will have a couple to check out this weekend. We will also work on last minute things for halloween costumes and probably run an errand or two. We should be watching the Gators game but I have to see what kind of mood I am in....another BFN might ruin my weekend.

Good Morning! I had my D&C on Sept 30th. FF just gave me my crosshairs today and says I ovulated on Sunday!  Waiting for Af to arrive and then we can begin TTC again.  Very anxious and a little nervous.  Thank you for making me a part of this group!

AdaraMarie

Hello all, still waiting for AF here.  According to FF I am at around cycle day 60. 

DH told me recently he wants to wait until after the holidays to TTC to make sure he still has a job next year.  I was surprised because he just started a new job and I didn't know there were doubts about it.  It is good though because it takes some pressure of my wait for AF.  I hope she comes in November so my body is ready to go.

 

This weekend we might drive to see DH's family.

vanessa lynne

Good Morning Ladies!

     I have been on and off a bit the last couple weeks.  I got a positive OPK this AM and we are desperately hoping this is our month.  If AF shows her repulsive face, the next step is testing. November will be a year from my BFP with Aidan.

Praying for you all!  ((HUGS))

QOTD: We are going to a "Roaring 20's" Halloween party on Saturday night. I'm hoping it doesn't snow tonight and that the rain stops.  Planning on taking my brother and his fiance's engagement pictures over the weekend.  The fall colors will be beautiful in the background!

Steph_NJ

Still nothing new to report -- just still waiting for my first AF post-D&C. My D&C was Sept 29, so almost a month ago now. I was feeling a little crampy this morning so that got my hopes up. Weird that I'm hoping for AF, that's never happened before. Then 2-3 cycles before we're cleared to TTC again.

This weekend: we're going to a going-away party for friends who are moving halfway across the country. DH & I will really miss them! Then my mom's coming over on Sunday to watch my town's Halloween Parade with us. She made DD's costume (little red riding hood) by hand, so this'll be a chance for her to see DD in it. My mom always made my brother and my costumes, so this is a nice tradition. I only wish I could sew so I could keep it going!

Congrats to :  jsunflower, Pachita, mypeanut22, Laurakat81, and dfduke1221

Sending ((hugs)) and thought to midwestmartins LoveOfMikesLife aadewitt pangl79 KGS2003, and E3A7AGGIE and any one else that needs them

QOTD: We are going out to eat with some friends on Friday, Saturday a Halloween party, and Sunday just relaxing and a little cleaning  

 

ktsnshn

Congrats to all the BFP's! Welcome to all the Newbies! I am still waiting for my first AF post D&C. This will probably be my status for the next 4 weeks or so, since it has only been two weeks since my D&C. I have had some spotting the last two days, but otherwise I think things are going pretty well. I am feeling much more patient about AF and TTC again, than I did after my first D&C.

QOTD: This weekend will be pretty busy for us. Tomorrow DH and I are grabbing a quick bite to eat and then going to a Halloween party. Saturday I am having coffee with a friend who is in from out of town, and then family time. Sunday we are taking DS trick-or-treating with my niece. I am really looking forward to this weekend, but what I am looking forward to most is our upcoming trip to FL in November. I really need some chill out time and some time alone with DH!

Hugs to anyone who needs one today. I hope you are all having a good day!

juliane2004

I'm 4 DPO today, and waiting for my BFP!

GraceInCA

Status update: In the 2WW. I'm not feeling great about this cycle. I don't think it's happening. I almost wish it would just be over so I could move on to the next, but my LP is typically 14 or 15 days long.

QOTD: Nothing major planned for the weekend. We have to get a costume for my son. I'm planning on just taking it easy and maybe getting some stuff done around the house.

LoveOfMikesLife

I'm still in the 2 ww, however I'm fairly positive AF is about to show up.

And with the insurance thing it's probably for the best until I can figure it out

I have to work all weekend but I am looking forward to carving our pumpkins on Sunday! Yes we waited until last minute.

catdwg83

Yay for the BFPs!

Welcome to the newbies & I'm sorry for your losses. This board is awesome for support & information.

As far as my wait goes, AF is still here.... kinda. Its been a really really light flow. Like, a pantyliner-deserving spot on day 1 & then quarter sized spots since then. Its CD4 & still no normal flow. I'm still counting it though, as long as the next cycle is normal-ish! This weekend I'm going to bake & cook for Halloween get-togethers, & watch the game. SouthernBelle & I are having a very mini TB GTG too Should be fun!!

maxsom

I'm new to the Ladies in Waiting group, been on the boards for a week or so, now.  I'm exactly two weeks post-m/c and waiting for AF so we can start TTC again.  My first beta check on Tuesday came back at 11!!

Question of the day:

What are your plans this weekend?  What are you looking forward to?

Today's my Friday (took day off tomorrow).  Babysitting my 10 and 8 y/o nephews and 3 y/o niece tonight, relaxing tomorrow, weinie roast at my mom's tomorrow evening, haunted house with DH and DSS after that, then Saturday having a pancake breakfast with my mom, aunt and sister @ my mom's.  I'm looking forward to a nice, relaxing weekend with lots of time spent with family.

benoitfan

I'm relatively new here, intro'd a couple of weeks ago and on last weeks checkin.  I'm waiting on my first post m/c af.  Physically, I am doing much better and feel pretty good.  My cold is gone, so that helps. 

As for emotionally, that's another story.  I saw my GP Tuesday because I am not sleeping well and everytime I eat, I feel sick afterwards.  She put me back on an rx for anxiety I used to take pre pg to help with the sleep and it seems to be working.  I'm also looking into counselling as I am having a very hard time dealing with this loss.  Hopefully it will help because I hate being in this funk.  It sucks.

 

QOTD

This weekend DH and I are going to a hockey game Friday night.  Other than that no major plans.

AustinBride06

2ww for me!  I'm really hoping this is the cycle.  I have a really good feeling about it.... Testing on 11/2.

orangegoggles

Thank you for the prayers! I feel much better and have tried to make a plan this week to work out and do something nice for myself.

QOTD: We have a Halloween party on Saturday and then Sunday we will probably be lazy and watch football all day.

hopefulheart211

QOTD:  this weekend we are going to a halloween costume party.  I'm looking forward to it after the awful week we've had.   I was keeping my fingers tightly crossed that this cycle would be a good one for us and we'd get a BFP, but AF just arrived.  I was crushed this morning when I woke up to bright red blood.

I guess my update is that I'm back in the waiting game again.  We've decided to take a break for the next 2 cycles and not actively TTC.  Its sad but a little freeing at the same time.  I was so hopeful for this cycle.  I need to regroup my thoughts and move forward.

 

Congrats to all the wonderful BFP's!!!!
