TTC After a Loss

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

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).

I hope you all had a nice holiday weekend. I know how hard this holiday has been for many of you and I just want to send my love your way. Also an extra big hug to those TTA; it is such a tough thing to do and you are doing a great job! Hang in there. I hope the time passes quicker then you ever expected.

    QOTD: My grandma's homemade mac and cheese!

  • thank you so much for remembering me.. I am so nervous tomorrow and not sure what route me and DH are deciding on.. if I am going to be getting on BCP for a while or just continue to go with the flow as we are now..

    My favorite comfort food has to be a Snickers Milkshake from The Cookout (not sure if these are national yet but they are everywhere here in NC)

  • Waiting to test. I have about a week to go.  I believe I am 10dpo today, but since I don't chart, I don't allow myself to test until AF is "late".  She is due to arrive on Saturday.  If she doesn't, then I will test on Tuesday.  It's been a long wait.  A week feels like forever!!!

    My favorite comfort food is my mom's lasagna. She loads it up with sauce and tons of cheese. Mmmmmm.

  • Well I am new....but I think I like the sound of this group.

    DH and I had been TTC for almost 9 months when we got a BFP on 4-11-11.  On 4-16-11 I started spotting, and the next day I was in the ER due to major pelvic and lower back pains.  I had surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy that day.  

    Right now I am waiting for my post op appt on friday.  DH and I really want to start TTC again really soon.  Of course we will follow whatever advice the doctor says, but I know it might drive me out of my mind.  I already had AF about 3 days after the surgery from what the nurses say, so hopefully my body wont take forever to go back to normal

  • Thanks for that verse! :) Needed it today.

    I'm waiting for test results: The doc did Chromosomal tests (DH and I), lupus, sickle cell, and blood disorders. I get results on May 9th. Hoping to be able to start TTC then. I'm actually ovulating soon and it bothers me that I'm TTA, but it is what it is.

     My favorite Comfort Food is whatever is good, greasy, and I don't have to cook (pizza, french fries, mac and cheese)

  • I would like to join you Ladies in Waiting.  my current status is: Just finished AF and I can officially TTC again! so I am now waiting to O.

    My favorite comfort food is Hawaiian Pizza! yummy 

  • AF is still here, but not making as much noise as she did when she first arrived.  I'm still trying to work off the pounds to make my cycles more regular (how I got pg in the first place), but I'm bored with Power 90.  I think I'm going to purchase another Beachbody product called Turbo Jam and see if that's better.  I do better with dance/routine workouts.

    QOTD: Meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

    Thanks for the shout out XN!  It was pretty exciting to get a + OPK this weekend.  Although due to scheduling and my poor OPK reading skills we may not have timed it well.  I am currently in the 2ww. 

    QOTD: My mom's homemade meatloaf and mac&cheese.  So good to eat but so bad for  you.

  • I'm a habitual lurker, but your invitation seemed so warm, so I'm jumping in for a change!
    I am a newbie and waiting to O (should be on Mother's Day). I got married in October, started TTC right away, had my very first pregnancy in January and a m/c on Valentine's Day. :( I have faith that God will give me a baby when the time is right, but until then, I wait, I chart, and obsess over it. :)
    As for the QOTD: Mom's chocolate chip cookies. I'm convinced you can taste the love.

  • I had my 6 week pp appointment yesterday, now I just have to wait two more weeks for my blood results to come back and to have my annual appointment and than I can officially begin TTC!

    Edit: Forgot to answer the QOTD: I love pretty much anything unhealthy lol, but when I'm in need of some comfort I tend to go for fried food.

  • I would love to join this group! I am currently in the 2ww of my second cycle TTCAL. I will try really hard to hold off on testing until Saturday but we will see.

    Favorite comfort food...hmmm....that's a tough one, I love food! Probably pizza or some kind of pasta and for dessert, chocolate chip cookies or some kind of icecream.

  • Still waiting for AF (just 2.5 weeks so far), and drinking that Women's Health tea, and raspberry leaf tea, and POM, and rubbing snake oil on my belly all day.  I have been temping just to get an idea of what's going on, but I think my thermometer is broken or something because I can literally temp three times in a row and get different temperatures every time.  It seemed to work just fine back in February, but might need new batteries or something.  Since the beeping makes me insane, I'll just get a new one.  Anyhow.

    Favorite comfort food is a spicy Korean soup or ramen noodles (my mom's versions of comfort food :)
