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 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).

Big welcome to Zilly13, I am so sorry for your loss and also sorry to hear about AF..I had a super long cycle this month too. It was awful. I hope you find comfort and support here while you wait.
Happy Birthday princesscto!!! May this year be your best yet and hopefully this time next year you will be celebrating while holding your LO in your arms/belly.

Question of the day: What is your favorite place to buy clothes (in person and/or online)? Is there something in particular you like to get there (shirts/pants/dresses/suits etc)?
Inspirational Verse: ?I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory? Ephesians 3:13
(During a time of great frustration and sadness?as there is a lot going on right now in addition to all the TTCAL stuff?I asked God to speak to my heart and He brought me to this verse. It truly warmed my heart to know that my suffering has not been in vain and that even though there are more trials to come, I know that it will be for the greater glory. I hope it brings you comfort too.)

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 am in the 2ww. And it is harder than I though it would be. Trying not 2 be so anxious. I want to test on Father's Day (10dpo) 4 days before my est.period. But I am nervous.
My favorite place to shop and where most of my clothes are from is Victoria Secret and Aeropostale. Although..Target sometimes does have cute stuff!
I'm still in the 2ww.
QOTD: I go to Debs
Their pants just fit better because I'm petite and I don't have to cut the bottoms that much. I go to JC Penney's for shirts though.
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!
2WW... though I'm fine waiting another 8 months - just sayin!
QOTD: Anthropologie, J.Crew, Urban Outfitters, Piperlime and Nordstrom... Honestly, I'd say 95% of my closet came from those stores... though my older BR stuff has held up well, I've boycotted them bc their CS blows....

I love to shop consignment! I can usually find some great stuff.
If I do buy new then I love Banana Republic and I love to buy my underwear from Fredericks of Hollywood.

Hi all,
I'm new - just posted my intro this morning. I am on my first cycle TTC after our loss... currently on CD 9. I've O'd anywhere from CD 16 to CD 40, so it's kind of a crap shoot, but if you want to check out my chart, here it is: chart
My doctor wants us to try 2 cycles on our own before starting clomid again. She's hopeful that pregnancy "reset" my body and it will cooperate now. Here's to hoping!
Question of the day: What is your favorite place to buy clothes (in person and/or online)? Is there something in particular you like to get there (shirts/pants/dresses/suits etc)? I buy a lot of clothes from New York and Co and Ann Taylor loft. They seem to fit me well.Welcome to the group!
I had a m/c on 6/4 and am waiting for AF to return so we can ttc again. Thank you for the verses. They are a real comfort.
I like to shop at consignment stores. You can find some great deals!
Jennifer
I'm still waiting to O... probably not for another week and a half or so.
Question of the day:
What is your favorite place to buy clothes (in person and/or online)? -- Lately I've been into consignment shopping. I've found tons of great stuff from BR and Ann Taylor. Since I seem to lose and gain weight a lot, I don't feel bad if I only wear things a few times before getting tired of them or they no longer fit. If I'm shopping retail, then it's Ann Taylor or Macy's.
Is there something in particular you like to get there (shirts/pants/dresses/suits etc)? -- In general I love to buy handbags and shoes. After purchasing a very expensive handbag earlier this year, let's just say I'm on a handbag hiatus for YEARS.
Still waiting for AF. My HCG last week was 9, so it should be at 0 this week, which means this spotting should turn to AF soon (right?). I hate not knowing what my body is up to.
I love shopping at Lane Bryant. The clothes are beautiful and affordable, and they have the only pants that fit me just right.
I believe I'm in the 2WW - although for the next few cycles we're just "having fun" and not charting, etc - so I'm basing it purely on the calendar based on my expected period date (6/22). I will probaby cave and test on Father's Day and only tell hubby if it's a BFP. I don't want to ruin his day with a BFN.
I haven't been clothes shopping in WAY too long. I picked up a few things when my boobs stopped fitting in my other tops when I was pregnant (at Old Navy). I really need to do some other clothes shopping. Looking forward to seeing where everyone else shops!

I'm new to the Ladies in Waiting.
I'm currently waiting for my first AF post m/c. It's been about 5 weeks. I've never wanted AF to come so badly...
As for shopping, my favorites are BR, Loft and online sites like Beyond the Rack.
I love shopping for pretty much everything but jewelry, shoes and purses all hold special places in my heart (and drawers and closets and under my bed...Maybe I have a problem).
BFP#2 7/22/11 M/C 9/2/11 at 10w5d
BFP #3 12/8/11 EDD 8/11/12
I am in the 2ww wait and I caved days ago and started testing. The MF is especially strong this cycle. My temps and timing look good but who knows, I am trying so hard not to read too much into it.
Favorite place to shop online are REI and Backcountry and in person Ann Taylor Loft, Eddie Baurer and Banana Republic
Hello, some of you may already know me, but just in case, my name is Amanda. We lost our LO a little under 3 weeks ago. So now I am anxiousely awaiting AF so we can try again. Who knew I would actually be LOOKING FORWARD to her visit!?
My favorite place to shop for clothes, I would have to say NY & Co. I buy at least 90% of my clothes there. Their pants fit great right off the rack (It's pretty rare when I don't have to get my pants altered).
Have a great day everyone!
Good morning!
I'm new to this check in. We are officially TTC after our missed m/c and d&c in March. I was waiting for AF who showed her face this morning, so I guess now I'm waiting to O.
I haven't been buying many clothes lately and I feel like I'm in between stores. I no longer buy much at Abercrombie and American Eagle, but I don't really know where else to go. I do have a weakness for designer jeans and I've bought the last few pairs on gilt.com.
Hi Andrea! I remember you from the mc/pl board. Nice to see you again!

My BFP Chart
Waiting to O. My chart has been all crazy this month. It's only my 3rd month, but every month has been different and it makes me all nervous. Also, usually I get a huge fade in on the OPK's, but as of now I'm getting almost stark white. Hopefully that'll change in the next couple days.
I usually buy clothes at Old Navy. I love Tommy Hilfiger for shorts and pants.
Right now I feel so fat and out of shape I don't like to buy clothes at all

Hi! It's nice to "see" you over here!
::Looks down at ticker:: Ahhhh!
I'm sorry to see all the new ladies here. I'm sorry for all of your losses.
QOTD: Hmmm, clothes shopping, who does that? It's been close to two years since I've bought anything substancial. I've filled my cart up 3 times at NY&Co and haven't made a purchase yet. Ugh. My go tos are Old Navy for basics, like tees and tanks, I like the Limited for work pants. I really think I need to start shopping at Younkers. They have some cute stuff there.
Hello, I have been slacking on checking in...it was a bit much for me at first, I think. I am TTA Until June 2012. UGH!!! But I am also waiting for AF to rear her ugly head so I can get to getting on the BCP.
I shop.....a little bit of everywhere. I just bought some clothes at Gordmans. And I shop at Old Navy (occassionally) and Torrid (LOVE their stuff!). I need to fit my chest so I go where they have a larger selection of bigger girl clothes...Also, I shop at Shopko (they have stuff there that is 1/2 the price of what its at Dillards!)
AF is due on Friday. I stupidly POAS because I am having a really major MF, but got a BFN. I'm thinking I'll probably get AF on Friday and I am telling myself it is okay. Especially since our doctor initially told us to wait 2 cycles, but then said we were good to go if we really wanted to.
Favorite place to shop? I'm really loving Talbots. I know, they used to be terrible. But now they have so much really cute stuff!!
mm 2/17/11 * dd born 4/20/12 * bo 1/3/14 * edd 1/21/ 1/15
Can I join?
Let me start by introducing myself..My DH and I are from Southern California. I have two little boys ages 5 and 3. My DH and I started ttc a third and final child back in March. Spent a lot of time on the ttgp board since then. In May I had a horrible period that started four days early nad was sooo different then anything experienced before. I went to the doctor and they did bloodwork. Found out I was indeed pregnant but was suffering an early m/c. Never had I experienced a loss before and it has been tough on us. Doc. didnt tell us not to keep ttc so we continued as soon as I stopped bleeding but just started cycle day one yesterday so no BFP yet. Hoping this month will be better.
ETA:forgot to answer question. My fave. place to buy clothes is forever 21. I love the trendy stuff and the prices. I mostly like to buy blouses there. Also, love the gap because of their jeans!
Thank you! I ? those kids something crazy, and miss them when they're at their dad's house half the week. I want my full-time baby
I'm waiting to O, and hoping to heck that it doesn't happen during the week of camping (in just over a week). I'll have to figure that one out if so, camping is way less sexy with kids in the tent, especially if they're too old to kick out of the tent, haha.
My favorite place to buy clothes is Nordstrom Rack. I really hate buying fancy clothes at full price, but don't mind the last-year's version of them. I especially like a brand of jeans called "Not Your Daughter's Jeans" because I have a kinda big butt relative to the rest of me and they fit much better than other trouse. For my kids I have a great consignment shop I go to, they're very picky about the clothes they take and my kids are very rough with the clothes they wear, so it's a win/win.
I am waiting to test. I am 9dpo and it is killing me. Sunday can not come fast enough.
QOTD: I shop at walmart. It is really red-neck and hick-y, but my ideal "Shopping time" is when I get off on midnight, and Wal-Mart is open 24 hours. And I actually am ob-longed shaped so Wal-Mart pants fit me actually (I am one of very few people I know who are shaped for Wal-Mart pants)
6 medicated cycles, 2 pregnancies, 1 ectopic April 2011, Early Miscarriage August 2011

I think I Oed on CD39 or possibly CD41 (stalk my chart if you want, I'm not sure), so I am now waiting on AF so we can try again.
I buy most of my clothes from LOFT, Old Navy, and Gap. I love Anthropologie but I can never afford anything there.

I'm new to this check in:) I'm orginally from the north, now reside in the south with my Marine hubby. We have one really large labradsourus and a rescue hound/lab pup. I teach and recently started teaching yoga as well. We had our micarriage May 3rd and got the ok to ttc June 3rd. I'm currently waiting to O.
My favorite clothing store is lululemon. Such an addiction. Other than that I just love buying cute little dresses from sale racks or boutiques. Who doesn't love a bargain?
I am waiting to O - any day now!
Question of the day: What is your favorite place to buy clothes (in person and/or online)?
Express and NY and Company
Is there something in particular you like to get there (shirts/pants/dresses/suits etc)? All!!

In the 2ww.... Hoping although my temp took a huge dip today!
QOTD: All my work clothes are from NY&co and I love buying long summer dresses and sun dresses from Ross and Bealls. They always have cute dresses that fit me well and cheap!
Ov watch is driving me crazy! I am starting to wonder if this thing is working right. After a week it started telling me it wasnt reading so I read the manual and it said to lay the watch on a damp cloth to moisten the sensor. Now it feels like I have to do this every night for it to work. It does say that I am on fertile day 3 though. Anyone else use Ov Watch?
Thankfully I am also POAS. Still no +OKP so I am still waiting to O. (I think)
QOTD: Charlotte Russe I guess because one of the ladies there always helps me shop. She puts things together that I would never put together on my own and they always look great.
FX for all you ladies and thanks again for all your support.
Vinceandang and Buckeyebaby I am so sorry for your loss.
Welcome Zilly13. I hope you find as much support here as I have.
Happy Birthday princesscto. Hope it is your best year yet.
Congrats busterbeagle have a H & H 9 months!!!

Too beautiful for this earth
BFP #4 - EDD 12/09/12, Lucille arrived 11/26/12
I'm still waiting for AF, I'm thinking and hoping it is coming next week, that is if I am right about O'ing last week. I'd love to see AF for once, not only because we could TTC again, but also because I'd rather not have AF for our vacation in a few weeks.
Question of the day: What is your favorite place to buy clothes (in person and/or online)? Banana Republic outlet- I just went there this weekend and realized that I almost always buy something when I go there.
Is there something in particular you like to get there (shirts/pants/dresses/suits etc)? Dresses, pjs, shirts
Good Afternoon!
You have me as waiting for a BFP but my progesterone levels havent been looking too good so I've actually been TTA until they are normal again (possibly with meds starting next appt). Hopefully I can TTC again in August/probably September.
QOTD: I'm a fitted t-shirt and shorts person most of the spring/summer/fall. Kohl's has great t-shirts and Old Navy has great shorts. Also love their bathing suits and dresses.
Last time I checked in I was waiting for AF and thank goodness it has come and gone. Now waiting to O. DH and I were going to TTA until July, but decided to let nature take its course this month. If it happens I will be ecstatic, but will start the OPK's and temping next month if I don't get a BFP this month.
QOTD: A lot of my clothing has come from Old Navy. It's where I get a lot of my summer clothes.

hi ladies, I am onto my 2nd 2ww since my D&C and I"m becoming very impatient, I was hoping to be pg by my birthday which is today and well that's a no go, so FX within the next few weeks I will get a BFP. I'm praying for BFP's for all you lovely ladies!
I am in my 2nd cycle TTA. My first OB appt for Clomid is mid July we are so excited. I just hope we are able to conceive our sticky baby. My plan is also to go on progesterone supplements.
My favorite places to shop are Old Navy, Target and Macys. I could spend hours in each of those places.
I *think* I'm in the 2WW. I used OPKs for the first time this month and they just confused me! I never saw a true positive. Who knows?
QOTD: I buy clothes from Kohls and Maurices alot. Depends on my mood...
