*-*-*-*Ladies In Waiting Check In*-*-*-*

member
This is 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 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. I look forward to getting to know you.
To keep track of all your favorite Ladies In Waiting visit the Official Group Website!
(My faith has played an integral part of this journey. I truly believe in the power of prayer and keeping God at the forefront of this process, so if you have any questions or want to talk please don't hesitate).
******************************************************************
Whoohoo! It is almost Friday. Anyone have fun weekend plans? We are participating in a March for Babies walk.
Congrats to MommyandKate on your
BFP. Happy and healthy 9 months. Grow baby grow!!!
Boy we have quite the diverse and talented group of ladies here. I feel very lucky to have this opportunity. Such a blessing! ?.And wow, we have a lot of 2wwers. I am hoping that we have a lot of graduates in the upcoming days. I will be stalking your charts and checking the PGAL boards frequently! Keep us updated.
Welcome RebandJake (hey stranger ;-) I hope you get your BFP soon. And to a big hello to kristie2422 and Angie14. I am sorry for your losses. I look forward to getting to know you and pray that you find comfort here while you wait.
Keep Carolee in your prayers on Friday as she will be doing her second IUI. And don?t forget (as if you could) about 1220winterbride?s HSG today. GL ladies and let us know how it goes.
FireFightersgal I am glad that you are at peace with your decision to TTC again and I hope that you get a BFP soon.
Woot woot to Mrst-tobe and Williams4me?can you hear it? The song tune ?back in the saddle? is playing just for you! GL ladies.
Apparently AF had the wrong addresses when she paid a visit to jerryliljess, pnkfaerie instead of vikingqueen and MarxieVonTrapp. Boo. Sorry ladies. I will send up prayers for restored order and peace while you wait.
******************************************************************
Question of the day: What is your favorite song?
Inspirational Verse:
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight? Proverbs 3:3-6

Re: *-*-*-*Ladies In Waiting Check In*-*-*-*
Ugh AF still hasn't shown her ugly face yet.. I'll be testing once again on Saturday and if it's not positive I am going to go in for a blood test to be sure next week and get started on meds to restart my cycle.
QOTD: My Favorite song right now is "Odd One" By Sick Puppies
perfect verse!
My fav song is "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins.
and thanks for the prayers about my HSG, I'll post a review when I get home.
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.
I havnt decided what day to test yet.
QOTD: Sunday Morning by Maroon 5

My OB gave me the go ahead to start my 3 months of monitoring so I'm pretty happy about that!
QOTD: My favorite song is Austin by Blake Shelton. I have no idea why, but it just is so sweet to me.
You and me both, VikingQueen. I spoke to my doctor on Monday and he told me I had to wait two weeks from yesterday to check in, but he was "80% sure I'd get it by then." So f'ing annoying. I've never wanted AF this bad, ever. Not even after all my irresponsible nights in college.
QOTD: I'm quite partial to "Raise Your Glass" and "U & Ur Hand" by P!nk right now. That sentence hurts me to write it. Why can't she spell?
mm 2/17/11 * dd born 4/20/12 * bo 1/3/14 * edd 1/21/ 1/15
Okay, I have "Back in the Saddle Again" stuck in my head now! haha
QOTD: Gosh so hard to choose just one!
"If I needed you" by Townes Van Zandt or "Wayfaring Stranger" (old gospel hymn)
I think I am Oing (CD17), I expect to get CH tomorrow (no OPKs this month, just charting).... so I guess that still makes me waiting to O, or maybe 2WW.. I dont know
Wow, favorite song ever - Landslide, Fleetwood Mac.... right now - Young Blood, The Naked and Famous

Still waiting for my beta results from LAST Friday's blood work. I called Tuesday and both the lab and the hospital had no record. I called again today and they still don't have results.
Edit: Forgot to answer question: Drunkard's Prayer :Over the Rhine
Thank you!
I am almost definitely in the 2WW, although probably 1 DPO so no CH yet.
There is no way I could pick one favorite song....
Carolee and 1220winterbride, my T&P's will be with you today and tomorrow. 1220winterbride, keep us updated how your HSG goes!
xnbride, thank you! Not only was she sent to the wrong address, but she was a PITA the first few days of her visit. Even though I'm bummed that I didn't get a BFP, with AF showing I'm going to my OB for a HSG on 4/14. As of right now I'm going to wait one cycle unless my doctor tells me otherwise next Thursday. Hopefully, that won't be the case but I rather be safe than sorry. As always, I'll keep you guys updated!
FX for a BFP to those that are testing.
QOTD: My favorite song is "This is Us" by the Backstreet Boys. One of them sang this to me during their tour this year, so it holds a special place in my heart.
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!
I love it too!! Super cute.

My favorite song ever is Sia "Breathe Me" my favorite song at the moment (during this whole process) is Godspeed by Dixie Chicks.

Favorite Song: (At this current moment) Sara Evans: "A Little Bit Stronger"

In the 2WW... I forget how many DPO I am
hehe
QOTD: OK, there are too many "favoirte" songs... So I will pick one for today. Song Bird by the Grateful Dead. OK 2... Peanut Butter Pudding Surprise By My Morning Jacket
Here are the Song Bird Lyrics, for those that don't know:
All I know is something like a bird within her sang,
All I know she sang a little while and then flew on,
Tell me all that you know, I'll show you snow and rain.
If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passin' by,
Laugh in the sunshine, sing, cry in the dark, fly through the night.
Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore.
Sleep in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind.
All I know is something like a bird within her sang,
All I know she sang a little while and then flew off,
Tell me all that you know, I'll show you snow and rain.

Hi ladies
I am in the 2WW, I am trying to hold of MF, but it is trying to worm its way in. I am not sure what is my favorite song, I like alot of songs, especially anything by Billy Joel.
I love Don't Stop Believing! DH and a couple of friends and I were walking home from a bar one night and DH pulled up the video on his phone and we started singing along. As we walked, singing loudly, everyone we came across joined in. It was like our own little Flash Mob (without the dancing). One guy even played air guitar for the guitar solo. It was one of the best and most surreal experiences in my life.

Well FF just gave me crosshairs finally today (I was starting to wonder) so now I'm in the 2WW. It's a little weird to me to O on cd19 since I usually have always had a 27-29 day cycle (O around cd13/14 - and know that my body could still be off due to loss or stress), so ... who knows. Just keeping FX.
QOTD: I think currently it's Britney Spears "Hold It Against Me", but there are just a ton I'm digging right now.
