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

Sorry for the late start!

?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?

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 Monday 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 verse.  We look forward to getting to know you!

Hi Ladies! I am in the 2WW, only 4 dpo so not far in enough to even START to think about testing. I am really trying to hold out until 14 dpo. I gave DH all my HPTs to hide, so I hope that helps me last 10 more days. I am on progesterone suppositories and they are giving me some lovely MF symptoms, but it isn't too bad because I know it is from the supps.

QOTD: It drives me nuts that I think my SIL takes major advantage of MIL. I like her a lot, but it makes me crazy that she lets her mom buy her everything and do so much stuff for her. DH and I are so independent, and wouldn't want to take advantage of anyone ever. MIL is still super nice to us, but it makes me nuts that SIL seems to take so much from her.

Hello...I actually have time to post for a change.

Update: CD1...that's about it.

QOTD: I have several:

People who smack their food; People who drive with their blinker on; People who drive slow in the fast lane; People who pop their gum (if I'm being honest, though, I do this I do spit it out as soon as I realize I'm doing it, unless I'm home alone, then who cares.)

E&Jhssweethearts

Intro: current status is just waiting for the spotting post m/c to stop, we plan to wait a couple cycles to actively TTC again.

QOTD: irrational irritation would be the way people bag my groceries at the store. I put groceries on in the order they should be bagged. Heavy things first (to go on the bottom of the cart) the pantry items like boxes, jars and cans, followed by all the "cold" items, then things I don't want getting smashed, then (if we have any) personal hygiene products or cleaning products. IDK why it is so hard to bag correctly, don't put my pads in the same bag as my frozen food dangit!!!

Smootiepie

Still no test results .  DH has his follow-up next Friday, so I should have his SA results then (if DH remembers to tell me everything...).  Then, those results will be faxed to my OB, at which point she'll call to schedule my follow-up appointment for the HSG and blood test results (and will most likely go over the SA results, too).  I'm hoping at that point for a plan, but preparing myself for more testing if it's needed.

Update on me:  Nothing exciting, still waiting to O.

QOTD: I get irritated with the people I work with - how many hours they work, what hours they are in the office, etc.  I can't do anything to change it, but it bothers me to no end, especially when I feel like I'm working way more/harder then they are!

britny08

Update: CD 8. Since I don't chart I don't know exactly when I O, but I usually get cramps around CD 10-11 that I'm assuming are before my O. If that really is the case then I should be getting close!

 QOTD: I get irritated with the city dump trucks!!! I always get the chance to sleep in an hour extra  on Mondays after DH leaves for work and Mondays just happens to be the day that the dump trucks come pick up on our block. We live 500 yards from the hospital and have several doctors offices by our house and they all have the big steel dumpters so I get to hear 40 or so dumters clanging around instead of sleep in!! Except on those few holidays on Mondays when the city doesn't work!!

neesie3173

Intro: Waiting for AF after D&C so we can actively TTC again.

QOTD: My co-workers. The 2 I work with regularly can make a trip to the grocery store into a 30-minute epic story, the climax of which is, "I decided to get peanut butter."

Rachaeleigh

Hi Ladies. Yes, I am having an endometrial biopsy on the 25th of this month. I'm kind of embarrased for asking what the biopsy is called bc after you ladies told me, I looked at where the dr had written something for me as a reminder and that's clearly what it said. lol! Oh well. I've had a few rough emotional days. MIL is really trying to comfort me but I just want left alone some times. Still waiting on RPL panel and chromosome testing results...

Definitely enjoying having sex again, but hating that we have to TTA. I keep obsessing that we're missing out this month.

QOTD I HATE when people chew w their mouths open. I also get annoyed when people say "How are you" just as readily as "hello." You don't really want to know, just say hello! Ok, vent over... 

vanessa lynne

Hey L.I.W

   It's been a couple weeks since I've checked in.  Sorry for the MIA.  Mikey and I had a great weekend in the mountains for our 3yr Anniversary..although next time I think we will take Bella..we missed her too much! And the Inn allows well behaved dogs.  I officially have a Tufts Insurance ID number which will cover everything IF related in the future..even IVF! I'm really hoping we won't need to get to that step.  This month we TTC on our own and I'm still hoping for that BFP.  My test date(according to FF) is Monday..but I'm not sure I'll be able to contain myself from testing Sunday on Mother's Day.

 I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  ((HUGS))

Hope hiding the sticks helps you not stress too much. Good luck to you.

Bleh, CD1. But here's to a new cycle! 

And I so do that!

Welcome to Ladies in Waiting. I am sorry for your loss; I hope the spotting comes to an end soon.

Don't be embarrassed; we all have those kinds of days/questions. I'm sorry you've been having a rough time - hope you start feeling better soon.

DC2London:

Hello LIW!  I hope everyone is having a good week!

Update: I'm in limbo.  I'm either 7dpo or just about to O.  I suddenly started getting positive OPK's way after my temp shift soooooo I guess I am just now about to O.  I've posted a couple of other times about it so I'll leave it at that for now.

GTKY: I am irrationally irritated by DH's cousin who dresses her daughter like some kind of whacked-out dollar store doll.  She has a ridiculous speshul made-up name and her parents take every opportunity to plaster some enormous flower to the poor girl's head.  It's obnoxious.

Ok...maybe I'm a little bit jealous bc I want a daughter.  But I will dress her properly.  And give her a real name, for heaven's sake. 

Wow, that is quite the difference of stages of waiting! Sorry your body/OPKs are being difficult. Keep us posted.

Hi Vanessa, good to hear from you and glad you guys enjoyed your anniversary trip. While I do hope it doesn't come to  IVF, that is awesome to have insurance that would cover it! Color me jealous! 

Have a great weekend!

Intro: Waiting for AF after D&C so we can actively TTC again.

QOTD: My co-workers. The 2 I work with regularly can make a trip to the grocery store into a 30-minute epic story, the climax of which is, "I decided to get peanut butter."

I am sorry for your loss. Welcome to the check-in; I hope AF doesn't keep you waiting too long.

lsuhoneybadger

Hey LIW!

 

Update:  Today is CD3 so nothing exciting going on here.  Just waiting for AF to leave town.

 

QOTD:  My irrational irritations are people who drive in the left hand lane when going slow (usually talking/texting on a phone) and people who think their time is more important than anyone else's.

killian09

I'm doing okay.  No real updates. I was in a panic this morning. I decided to worry that the BCPs may not have been effective right away when I started taking them I may actually be pg again (which would be bad bc we are under doctor orders to TTA).  So I POAS and BFN.  Which is good.  And I think I'm certifiable for even worrying about it. But my mind was going through all the things I've been doing "wrong" for the past 3 weeks--drinking, taking advil, caffeine, not to mention the lingering effects of MTX.

 QOTD: noisy chewing.  Oh and coworkers who borrow my mechanical pencils, then click the lead out really far, and then break the lead while writing, then click it out again super far, repeat, until all the lead is broken....haha.  

GatorBaby2012

Update: Waiting to test. Probably will at 10dpo, next Thurs.

Hi ladies, I am brand new here, just came over from the other board unfortunately my 3rd board in as many months. But bringing positive vibes and hopes for all of us. I hope I have the signature right.... I am here due to my loss on March 27 of this year. We have the go ahead to TTC I have ovulated yet but I am watching closely. I usually can just tell when I am ovulating but testing is a better option. I admit I am nervous being here and may disappear if I figure out I am not quite to the point where I am ready. Just hoping I am. Yes, nervous but for the most part, I am going to be positive.

 

As for the QOTD:

Irrational Irritations right now Mother's Day commercials are annoying the heck out of me. And bad drivers make me want to scream 

NBBride05

Update: Its been a tough week. Sunday would have been my 1/2 way point (20 weeks), today is exactly 3 months since my loss and AF is here. No wonder I have been crying all week - having a hard time keeping it together! 

QOTD: As a teacher, it annoys me when students ask me the same question that I just answered because they were not paying attention. I also get annoyed when people start a sentence with I would like to tell you about.....if you would like to then just do it!

MeganS313

Update: went into the Drs office today for what SHOULD have been my 10 week first OB appointment.  My Dr said since I've been do for a pap for a while anyways I could keep the appt and just make it my annual exam.  I got there and they had cancelled my appt b/c they knew about the m/c without telling me or telling the Dr!  seriously b/c I needed another reminder. 
Although, I'm SUPER glad I went.  She said my cervix was wide open and I had a huge clot working it's way down and it was stuck there.  To do my pap, she removed the clot.  It was a little bigger than a golf ball.  She said that with my betas as low as they are this could possibly be the end.  She said it was likely the reason I was still oozing and bleeding a lot. Since she removed it, the bleeding has been less thick and much less.  Hoping she got me moving along and the bleeding will end soon!

QOTD: so many come to mind!  I hate when people don't use their turn signals, or when they leave them on on accident.  I hate people who take advantage of others who have trouble saying no, I hate when my co-workers think it's ok to be hateful t each other and then attempt to be nice when bad things happen..

Atleighdan

Update: I am currently waiting on my bloodwork results from my appointment last Friday. I am also waiting for this cycle to be over so we can officially start TTC again! Unfortunatly, I am on CD 5, so I still have a bit of waiting to do. May is pretty busy, though, so hopefully it will go quickly!

QOTD: I am not really sure about this. I have a lot of things that irritate me, but I think they all affect me. I am sure there is something. When I get irrationally irrational today, I will update!

Elle jM

Hi Ladies! 

No real updates here.  I'm 8DPO.  Yesterday and the day before, I had major mind fetus.  I was only 6-7 DPO, and I'm well aware that I was out of my mind.  Today, I'm convinced we're totally out for this cycle. 

QOTD: I have a few.  Toilet paper has to with the roll out.  It really annoys me when it faces in.  I change it in the office!  I hate when people don't use their directional.  What is so difficult about pushing a little lever up or down?  I can't stand when people have to swing their car the opposite direction to make a turn.  Really?  Maybe you need a different car, because you clearly can't handle that one.  I have more, but I'll stop now!
