~Ladies In Waiting Check In~

xnbride · April 2011

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).

******************************************************************

Congrats to GPickles on your BFP. Happy and healthy 9 months! I anticipate a big BFP wave in the next few days. There are so many of you in the 2WW!!!

Big welcome to mrsupgrade and nicolelorraine80-I am so sorry for your losses. I look forward to getting to know you and hope that you find comfort and support here while you wait.

Yay AshB62 on the big O! Seems like you have had a bit of a confusing cycle but your chart is looking good! FX you get a BFP in a few days. Thinking about you stillbaking-sorry that TTC has been delayed; I hope your blood tests come back clear. Carolee- I really hope the IUI was a success in-spite of your initial concerns. All it takes is ONE. I hope to see your BFP announcement soon.

MrsMitty08-I hope the provera works. I have been reading lots of good stuff about it. Let us know how it goes. Prayers for VikingQueen and her hubby as they take a TTC break (but not a bump break ?thank goodness); I also love your updated siggy. 1220Winterbride I am glad that your HSG was a success and hope that you are feeling better as it was more painful then you anticipated. I hope it makes a big difference and helps you to get pregnant right away.

Chrystalr03 I love the new siggy. Your pink accented wedding dress was gorgeous!

MissAutumn-so good to hear your levels are down to normal! Yahoo!!

Prayer Request: raecheleblue1?s grandfather who may have a brain tumor. Anoint the doctor?s hands and help them to find a cause and effective treatment plan for him. And provide comfort and peace to his family as they offer him the support and strength he needs to get through this difficult time.

******************************************************************

Question of the day: What is your favorite quote/saying/scripture/words of wisdom- that you often think about and hold dear to your heart? (doesn?t have to be religious or solemn?just something that you like)

Inspirational Verse:

"Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.? Genesis 18:14

nikileebaugh · April 2011

no change here. POAS on Sunday and it still says positive, so i'm still waiting on this HCG to go away. This friday will be 5 weeks post D&C. on a better note, it took a while to come up this time instead of right away, so maybe it's to the point where it has to think about it! (or maybe not .. and i'm just trying to be hopeful lol).

and as for favorite saying/quote i have two:

"I believe in pink.
I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow is another day
and I believe in miracles".
~Audrey Hepburn

and number two:

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, myth is more potent than history, dreams are more powerful than facts, hope always triumphs over experience, laughter is the cure for grief &- love is stronger than death" - Annonymous.

tiffany119 · April 2011

QOTD: Philippians 4:8 is my favorite verse. As women, it is easy for us to to become overly emotional so quickly. God designed us with emotions, but we need to be careful that when these emotions manifest themselves, that we keep our focus on the One who gave them to us. This verse helps me to draw my attention away from my emotions when they're out of check. It helps me to think on things that are true, and not let myself get carried away with assumptions, wrong conclusions, and faulty reasoning.

Tapatio · April 2011

Good morning xnbride! Thank you for updating all of this info every week

I'm waiting for a BFP. I'm not going to hold my breath though.

QOTD: My bff sent me this quote last week and we're going to frame it since I loved it so much. I need something inspirational right now.

"Remember the tide may come and wash away your sandcastle, but the sand still remains, allowing you to build something new."

ECHC829 · April 2011

In the 2WW...

saw my OB yesterday... she ordered CD3 bloodwork for next cycle if I don't get a BFP to confirm/negagate the elevated FSH FR test I took this cycle. FX my levels are fine and the pee stick is trash....

no quote I can think of at the moment... busy day, will be checking in here and there! ((hugs)) to anyone who needs them!

abbs20 · April 2011

I am still planning to wait until May until we start TTC again. But now I have a prayer request along with that. My DH cried himself to sleep 2 nights ago. He is still so upset about losing our son. He refuses to talk to anyone about it (even me sometimes) or go see if he can get medication for depression. Not to mention he is facing a lay-off at work. He has so much on his plate right now he doesn't know how to handle it. He won't come right our and say it, but he blames God for everything that happened (which breaks my heart). If things do not change I will be telling him that we will have to wait longer to start TTC again. Please pray for comfort and understanding for him.

QOTD: There are so many amazing Bible verses that I love, but this one keeps coming back to me.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

"be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you."

-elsie de wolfe

When you are tempted he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

1Cor 10:13

MarxieVonTrapp · April 2011

I am still waiting for AF. Trust me, when she comes, I'll be shouting about it from the rooftops. It'll be 8 weeks since my D&C on Friday. My doctor said to call him on 4/20 (hee) to talk about getting Provera to jump start my system. What's annoying is that I've been having all the PMS symptoms, just no M.

Inspirational: No woman is required to build the world by destroying herself.-Rabbi Sofer, 19th Century

sessa717 · April 2011

I have been lurking for awhile, but just really began posting in the last week or so. I am currently waiting for AF, I had a natural miscarriage on 3/17.

williams4me · April 2011

No change for me...still waiting on my next AF (hopefully next week) so we can TTC again.

Q of the Day: (I found this quote a couple weeks ago, and posted it on TTCAL)

"Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a matter of traveling."

VikingQueen · April 2011

ChristinaCT · April 2011

2WW for me... MF is in full force. FX though, Anything can happen right?

Question of the day: What is your favorite quote/saying/scripture/words of wisdom- that you often think about and hold dear to your heart? (doesn?t have to be religious or solemn?just something that you like)

I have a few... They are good for different reasons

"Every silver lining has a touch of Grey... I will get by I will survive" G.D.

"Blessed all those who can laugh at themselves. They will never cease to be entertained" not sure who write it, it's on a plaque in my house...

"Nothing left to do but Smile, Smile. Smile" G.D.

"I get up, I walk, I fall down. Meanwhile I keep Dancing" Another plaque in my house. Love it! no idea who said it though.

lynnshey · April 2011

Hi, I'm currently waiting for AF so we can get the process started. My favorite quote, one that I keep going back to in times of difficulty, is the Serenity prayer....

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference."

jerryliljess · April 2011

Same as last week. Smile

QOTD: I don't have any inspirational quotes

karma79 · April 2011

Add me to the group please. I'm in the 2ww. Hoping this is the month!!!

mfpickle25 · April 2011

Levels are back to 0 but the hubs and I have decided to wait until June to try again. We want to give my body and our emotions enough time to level out to some version of normal.
Inspiration: One foot in front of the other

MegMeg0913 · April 2011

I am currently waiting for the O monster (my DH new nickname for it). I have decided that instead of mourning the start of a new cycle, I will try and look at it as an opportunity and fresh start.

QOTD: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot chage; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

Muffinhb · April 2011

Af showed up. But she is being nice.

QOTD: My life motto is. Everyone wants to ride in the limo with you, but the only people who matter are the ones willing to ride the bus with you then limo breaks down.

petitbelle · April 2011

You can go ahead and add me to the 2ww...supposed to O today. Really hoping for a Easter BFP!

QOTD: I really can't think of anything at the moment...

TwirlyGirly · April 2011

I'm waiting for AF to show. Tried to find this thread last week and couldn't find it. I know I O'ed last week so just waiting now. Dr says to just keep trying naturally right now, so...just waiting for a cycle to complete & the new one to begin.

QOTD: "Life is not always a destination to be reached but rather a series of events that all too often get passed by without pausing to be appreciated." ~William King, my dad

"This would be a much better world if more married couples were as deeply in love as they are in debt."
--Earl Wilson, American journalist and gossip columnist

glitterfish 213 · April 2011

I'm in the 2ww but I think AF is coming by the weekend.

I think I heard this in a movie but I always think of it and it encourages me:

"It's not brave if you're not scarred"

It just reminds me to push through my fears and know the end result will feel even sweeter for it. It's a big confidence boost to know you can do something without fear stopping you, to truly be brave. I think it applies to all of us ladies TTCAL.

poohbear033 · April 2011

Thanks for the compliment. As far as waiting. I am waiting for my second AF post m/c. After I get her, then we will TTC. Currently TTA, waiting to TTC.

Thank you tiffany119.

Thanks tapatio.

Oatoa · April 2011

Still waiting to O.

QOTD: "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to prosper." - Ben Franklin

It sounds like silly quote but it is the little things that remind me I'm not alone.

MDT082010 · April 2011

Update: Just using the fertility monitor this month. After a week of "highs" I got my peak today. I could use some prayers that I actually O.

The month I got my BFP I did a lot of praying to St. Gerard. I still say the prayer daily on my commute in/out of work.

Inspirational Verse: O glorious Saint Gerard, powerful intercessor before God, and wonder worker of our day, I call upon you and seek your help. You who always fulfilled God's will on earth, help me to do God's holy will. Intercede with the Giver of life, from whom all parenthood proceeds, that I may conceive and raise children who will please God in this life, and be heirs to the kingdom of heaven. Amen.

Sounds like you both have alot going on. I can only imagine the anguish your DH must be feeling after facing the loss of a child and now the loss of a job. I will keep you both in my prayers.

luckylady55 · April 2011

Hi,

I am cautiously celebrating a BFP, my EDD should be 12/24/11. My favorite quote is from Dr. Suess " Say what you mean, and mean what you say, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind."

o0PinkLilies 6100o · April 2011

M/c 4 weeks ago. First cycle since. I"m waiting to O, but I'm worried it may be an a/o cycle. I'd welcome O or AF I just wish ONE of them would show! I'm having to TTA until June :sigh: This is a great post though, very comforting. Thanks xnbride.

My T&P are with you. Big hugs. Yesterday I would have been 12 weeks and telling everyone. I hadn't kept track of the weeks but I had remembered that date. We've decided to start TTC rather than waiting one more cycle so I'm waiting to O.

busterbeagle · April 2011

I would love to get added to the list!

This cycle is my first TTC after my m/c and currently I am waiting to O. Tomorrow is my birthday and all I want is to wake up to a great big temp spike!

Carolee · April 2011

QOTD: This is a tough one for me! I can't really think of one!

MrsMitty08 · April 2011

I'm still on the Provera (last dose will be Friday). Thanks for the well-wishes!

I like this by e.e. cummings:

i carry your heart with me
(i carry you in my heart)

corndog8 · April 2011

I'm in the 2WW as well. I'm trying to keep strong and positive for this cycle and just FX.

My quote that seems to work for me lately is:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference."

somnybooks · April 2011

I am still waiting for hcg to drop (5.2, needs to under 5), waiting for AF, and waiting to TTC in summer.

On the plus side, it's looking like I may actually have ovulated for the second time since TTC (July 10). CM and temps indicate yes but I am only 4 dpo. As FF has a history of stealing away my CH's, I am trying not to get my hopes up. I would be so happy if somehow my body has regulated itself.

QOTD:

A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties. -Harry Truman

Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked.

"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.

"I don't know," Alice answered.

"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Not sure why, but these both motivate and inspire me somehow.

Eris-Alexis · April 2011

Still in the 2WW, but I tested yesterday and got a BFN, which means that the trigger shot is out of my system and I don't have to wait until the 19th to test for real. I am debating testing on the 15th since I have a consult with the Peri that day. I am getting more and more anxious and keep staring at my chart. Embarrassed

Lots of T&Ps to raecheleblue1 and her family. I hope they are wrong and your grandfather is fine. Please keep us updated. ((Big HUGS))
