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 Luckylady55! Happy and healthy nine months!
Big hugs to biddy53178 on the outcome of your recent IUI. I am so sorry sweetie.
Please lift Abbs20?s husband up in prayer as he has been struggling tremendously with their loss.
Welcome Sessa717, lynnshey, karma79, o0PinkLili...(is your account still active?), and busterbeagle I am so incredibly sorry for your losses and I look forward to getting to know you. May you find peace, comfort and camaraderie here while you wait.
Ellebelle2384 is TTC again! GL; I hope this cycle is a success.
Shelshel79 good luck at your appt next Wednesday. Let us know how it goes. (I loved your quote btw?so interesting)
Goodluck to all the testers!! Keep us updated.
We have a lot of prayer requests this week ladies. So please send prayers and positive thoughts on the way, because there are lots of hurting people out there. Big hugs ladies.
Prayer Request: Eris-Alexis and her mom and dad. Her mom has stage 4 cancer and her dad has progressive MS. Pray that their treatment plans would be effective in providing comfort to them and that Eris-Alexis would have the strength she needs to get through this difficult time as she provides support and simultaneously works to provide them a grandchild.
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.
Prayer Request: My friend who lost her 16month old son Gavin on Tuesday (our boys were a month a part). He drowned in their pool. It is hard for me to even type this; my heart is so heavy.
(thanks Jessie for your help with the verse and QOTD)
******************************************************************
Question of the day: What are your Easter/Spring break plans?
Inspirational Verse:
I will say of the LORD, ?He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust? Because he loves me,? says the LORD, ?I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.? Psalm 91

TTA til May. getting nervous!
I am having some friends over for Easter brunch. fun!
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.
***warning - kiddos mentioned***
Good morning - still waiting for AF to arrive. Feeling a little achy, so maybe she will arrive soon?
As for Easter plans, we are staying home. Need to send my oldest a care package next week and work on S's basket. MIL and SIL are coming the following weeekend, so we are in busy cleaning mode.
I plan on getting the brakes on my car fixed, so I don't go careening off the planet. I also plan on eating an obscene amount of chocolate and ham.
Oh and if my family is having an Easter event, I plan on avoiding it like the plague. I just refuse to handle people right now. I think that I'll go to my future MIL's house and have ham and chill with her cats and my future nephew.
I have been meaning to sign up for this check in!! I read it every Tues/Thurs, so I don't know why I haven't given you my info yet.
I am on CD13. Used Clomid CD3-7. Follicle scan yesterday, CD12, looked good so now we're FWP.

TTA sucks.
But I know that we're not ready for a baby. Well, more like I'm not ready to handle another miscarriage so we're waiting. But I got a referral to a really good obgyn so I'm excited about that. Hopefully he will send me for testing!
QOTD: We are going to my family's for Easter. We do every year and I'm so excited! They have been an amazing support to me over the past 8 months and I miss them terriblely. And I'm happy to be 7 hours away from my ILs so that I don't have to see them.

QOTD: all of our family is back in PA, so we are planning on going over to Mammoth Mountain in CA and doing some snowboarding, drinking some bloodmary's on the patio, and watching the pond skim. all the DH's idea, but hey, i'll roll with it.
and i'll be praying for each and every one of those requests. those stories are all so sad, and as for your friends child, my heart is aching for them. that's so tragic. please pass our prayers and thoughts along to them to give them strength, as well as all the other prayer requests. what a sad week this week.

We're TTA until we come to a decision on our TTC plans. Plus, I'm on AF #2 since my m/c and would need one more cycle anyway.
Heartfelt prayers are being said for your friend and her precious boy.
QOTD: We are hosting Easter dinner for the family (15 adults and 5 kids) and the drama has already begun - SIL #1 won't sit next to BIL #2, SIL #1 is requesting the she not be at the same table as MIL and doesn't want BIL #2s kids any where near her all day. Gah!!! Other than that, we're doing the White House easter egg roll the following Monday and I'm super excited!!!!
Waiting to O, my cycle is out of whack and I decided not to temp this cycle so really we are just rolling the dice this cycle!
QOTD: We are probably going to my H's parents for Easter. I'm mostly excited because I found the cutest dress on sale at Kohl's a month or so ago and I'm dying to weart it!
Same ole for me...Waiting for AF (hopefully next week) then we're TTC.
Q of the Day: I don't really get "Spring Break" (although I did suggest to my boss we start).. so it's just the normal work week for me!
xnbride: I am so sorry to hear about little Gavin that is heartbreaking, my T&P's are with your friend and her family.
Many T&P's out to everyone else who's family members are going through a hard time..

We're TTA until June.
Easter Weekend: I will be celebrating the life of a dear friend who we lost last December with her friends and family on her birthday. It will be sad but she always made a big deal about her birthday (celebrated the whole month) and it was important to her family to continue that.
Waiting on AF to arrive..
I am thankful that my test came back in the negatives thought!!! 
Im trying to make plans for a long weekend getaway to Savanna, GA in the next few weeks. Its one of my favotire places in the world and I think it'll improve my soul
Still waiting on AF. Will call my doctor on 4/20 if she still hasn't appeared...CD55 and counting.
I had spring break a few weeks ago and just got shortened hours because I'm staff rather than faculty.
Easter plans: maybe brunch at a friend's or dinner out.

Update... In the end of the 2WW. Praying for a BFP, but not confident
Hope we get a big TTCAL wave going.
QOTD: Easter will be at my parents house with their annual Easter Egg hunt. Very excited for DS to be a part of it this year more than others...he will finally be able to do everything on his own thought I sure big cousing Jake will help him out anyway. Those 2 are like two pea's in a pod.

QOTD: Our family gets together for Palm Sunday rather than Easter. We'll do an egg hunt and dinner and everything this weekend with my nieces. On Easter, I will go to a sunrise service on the Delaware, help serve the annual Easter Breakfast at my church, attend services and spend the rest of the day in the cemetary with my father tending the family plot. Its very nice low key day for me.

Waiting to O again.
I don't get a spring break... boo! But I do have memorial week off and I'm looking forward to gardening.
I got AF, now I'm waiting for my dr. appt on Monday with Specialist to discuss next steps. I'm hoping I'll be told it's ok to TTC at the appt. I feel ready
On Easter, I'll be attending church and then going to my Inlaws. I always enjoy spending time there...and the food will be delicious!
I've prayed for those requests. So sad....my heart goes out to the families
I am so sorry about your firend's DS. That is just heartbreaking.
No updates for me, still TTA until the end of June, barring my test results.
QOTD: I honestly have no clue what we are doing for Easter. Pretty sure we will be at my parent's house for lunch, but no clue after that. The IL's don't like to plan things more than a few days in advance.
3 DPO...just waiting.
QOTD: Working all Easter weekend...it's ok though. I really don't want to see all the new baby's dolled up at church this Easter. Hey, I might even volunteer to work Mother's Day too...
As much time as I like spending time with God, I am not happy about all the prayer request lately. I am saddened every time I see another request and I am crying after just reading about Gavin. He and his family and friends are in my prayers along with anyone else that has been asking for prayers.
Thanks for your prayers for my husband. He has had a couple good days now and I am hoping that they continue.
We are still TTA until May.
QOTD: We are not sure of our plans for Easter yet. We are going to Easter brunch at our church and then the resurection service after, but we are not sure about what we are doing with our family. They are having sepatate celebrations and we are going to have to choose one over the other or try to make both...Grrrrrrrr.
positive OPK yesterday and today so should be O anytime now.
I am so sorry to hear about Gavin. That is so sad. Sending out T&Ps for families and friends.
My Easter plans is to work. I feel like lately I don't get any holidays off. It kinda stinks.

ETA: You and your friends will be in my prayers for the loss of little Gavin.
I just got done with the hysterosalingpogram and the doctor that did it said that I don't have to wait for next cycle! I'm still waiting to ovulate!
QOTD: On my side, we don't have any grandchildren so my parents don't do anything. However, I go to the other side and visit my niece and nephews.
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 for all of the T&Ps and support ladies. I really appreciate it.
Continued T&Ps to raecheleblue1, her grandfather, and whole family. And huge T&Ps for your friend, her family and you. I can't imagine going through that loss.
I am having a hard time this week. Still in the 2WW and the MF is killing me. I have been overanalyzing every little twinge and it is driving me crazy. I had some light spotting last night and was convinced that AF would show this morning, but so far nothing. Normally, AF shows within a couple of hours of spotting, so I am hoping that this is implantation spotting. Only time will tell.
Plans for Easter/Spring Break: Easter Saturday we are going to my parents house and are going to celebrate both Easter and my birthday. I have this whole next week off, so I am going to try to treat it as a Spring break and see if I can find fun ways to distract myself. I am also planning on doing a bunch of cleaning that I have been slacking on .
BFP#1 - 9/2/10, EDD 5/14/11, Twins Hannah and Liam lost 11/7/10 @ 13w1d.
BFP #2 - 2/9/11, EDD 10/13/11, LO lost 2/13/11 @ 5w4d
BFP #3 - 5/9/11, DS born 1/13/12

Lots of T&P to those who need it!! Makes me sad to hear the tough times some of us are going through. Be strong ladies, you'll make it through!
Still in the 2WW, however I expect AF to arrive soon. This is my 6th day of spotting so far...and I'm getting a little sick of it!
QOTD: Probably will be going to my parents. My sister who lives in TX will be visiting for the weekend, so that'll be nice. They may come here though because she has not seen our new house yet. If they do, I'll be planning a delicious meal
Should be Oing tonight (hence the early check-out from TB)
QOTD: Going to the beach with IL's and my parents for a beach Easter egg hunt and rack of lamb on the grill
mmmm
Tomorrow is my last day of Provera....then I'll be waiting for AF. I can't wait until I'm done with this Provera. It is not fun.
I already had spring break but DH and I don't have plans for Easter weekend...probably just hanging out by ourselves (no family nearby).
