TTC After a Loss

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

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 an introduction and 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 quote and verse. I look forward to getting to know you.

To keep track of all your favorite Ladies In Waiting visit the Official Group Website!

  • Good morning!!

    I am kind of new... I have been on the board since June 1st, but have been waiting on my cycles to even out. Now I am officially waiting to O (which should be today or tomorrow), and then I'll be in the 2ww. :)  

    My favorite outdoor activity is going on a walk!! :) DH and I often go on walks together, and it's so nice and relaxing.

    I love this sign :) :

  • Good morning! 

    Update: waiting to test/AF, which ever comes first.  If it's AF then I will call my OB & start testing.  I pray everday that cycle 8 post loss won't arrive.  In October, it will be one year since we started trying for #2.

    QOTD: My favorite outdoor activity would have to be concerts.  I love them.  i don't go to as many any more, but there is nothing like going to a 3 day festival or the Jazz series on the green every summer.  It's a great way to meet like minded folks & just relax & have fun with your family.  Other than that walking/hiking.

  • Good morning!  Look at all the new BFPs!!!  Keep them coming....

    I am currently in the 2WW and have finally experienced MF.  I never understood the concept of this until now!  I still have a long way to go before I can test, but every little twinge of sympton is making me wonder...

    QOTD:  I love hiking! 

     Our baby boy,Logan, was born still at 19w3d on 7/1/2011
    Our 2nd baby boy, Mason, was born still at 20w3d on 1/31/2012

     After a much needed sanity break... we are praying for our rainbows

    ((BFP 7/29/13))  ((EDD 4/12/14))  It's BOY/GIRL twins!!!

  • *ticker warning* 

    Thanks Coreysmomma.

    I got my BFP on Friday. I finally had the blood test and the dr called right away because I had a xray scheduled. My EDD is May 14. Congrats to the other ladies as well.

    QOTD: I love taking outdoor pictures. I think they make the best backgrounds. I also love to go hiking.

  • Good morning!

    I am hopeful that my first post-D&C AF might show up today. Which means we could TTC, although I still don't know how I feel about that yet. We have our genetic counseling appointment in about an hour to discuss the Trisomy 21 diagnosis and see if we are carriers. I really don't know what to expect so I hope it goes well.

    QOTD: I love walking through pretty scenery at our local nature preserves

    Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
  • Good morning girls!  I am a little concerned this cycle because FF just gave me CH's saying I O'd on CD10.  That is pretty early compared to my normal cycle..if its normal at all.Huh?  I hadn't done an OPK yet because I usually start them cd10/cd11 at the earliest.  I guess Im now in my 2WW.  I hope everyone is having a great week!

    QOTD: I really like swimming and fishing. Big Smile

  • I am eagerly awaiting AF so we can start TTC again. 

    QOTD:  I'm not a huge outdoor person.  Walks are good, I love eating outside, and I really want to go to some of the fall festivals that are going on now.

  • Good morning!

    AF showed her face so I'm waiting to O, which will be for awhile.

    QOTD:  I love to go downhill skiing.  Every winter we get a ski pass at one of the resorts and hang out with friends. 

    5/16/2005: M/C at 7 wks
    5/3/2010: MM/C at 7 wks 6 days
    5/25/2014: CP at 4 wks 3 days

    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!

  • Based on my OPK's I ovulated 3 days ago (12 days post D&C- started testing at day 10, got a darker than the control line day 12 and now light again).  I am now waiting for AF, who hopefully will be on schedule.  I'm not sure what to expect after the D&C.

    My favorite outdoor activity is playing soccer.  I have been playing in a couple of indoor and outdoor leagues for the past few years.  I missed this season due to being preg and then mc, and am contemplating the winter indoor league- hopefully I will be pregs and that decision will be made for me!

  • Update: still waiting for AF, counting down the days before follow up appt with OB (T-minus 9 days!). Noticed EWCM yesterday so that gives me hope my body is gearing up for AF within 2 weeks. Fingers crossed...the sooner I get AF, the sooner I can start TTCing again!

     Outdoor activity: I love hiking, but I also love hanging out at the splash park pool with DS in the summer (I miss that!!)

  • Good morning.  I went in for more bloodwork so they can see if my levels are going down and pretty much confirm the m/c.  Of course I'm hoping they say I didn't m/c but I know I did.  I felt and saw it all.  Sad  We plan on TTC right away.  Once AF comes back it's on! 

    I love snowboarding and I love outdoor festival type concerts.

  • I've been lurking since Aug, I m/c on the 27th. I'm waiting for AF to rear her ugly face so we can get back on track with TTC. my OB told me not to worry about anything this month and just let nature take it's course for my body to heal. Once AF starts I'll get on the charting bandwagon. Had a follow up yesterday at the OB to check my blood level and make sure everything has gone back to normal so we will be ready to TTC.

    My favorite outdoor activity is running. I love this time of year when it cools off enough I can start running outside again!!

  • Good morning!  I'm still waiting until next week to test/for AF to arrive (obviously hoping AF doesn't show up).  I'm not sleeping well because I'm so anxious this time around since this is our first time TTC since my D&C.

    My favorite outdoor activities include cookouts and going to college football games.  Of course, the best combination of those 2 is tailgating, particularly at WVU games.

  • SO happy for everyone's BFPs!! I'm visiting with AF right now and hope to let things happen naturally this month. I'm charting, but I think it's more to give myself a sense of peace and control (since it feels like it's really still mostly out of my hands). 

    QOTD: I absolutely LOVE being outdoors this time of year. I enjoy gardening, and I've got loads of daffodil bulbs (52, actually) to put into the ground before it gets too cold.

  • Cycle 14 ttc ugh, so frustrating. The Dr. thinks I might have pcos because of all of the cysts he saw while looking at my ovaries,and mentioned putting me on clomid. I put a call into his nurse yesterday and am still waiting to see if we will start it this cycle. Fingers crossed he decides to go with it this time. I am so depressed and just tired of everyone else around me being able to get KTFU, but me. (sorry ladies, I am just so over it right now)

     QOTD: I love to sit outside and watch the puppy play and read when the weather is cooler and not 98 degrees ugh!

    Hope all of you have a wonderful day!!!

  • Status: Going to test tomorrow if no AF. I don't have high hopes. I think it's only a matter of time before AF shows. As irrational as this sounds, I don't feel pregnant.

    QOTD: I don't know if I can narrow it down to one. I love walking, hiking, sightseeing, kayaking, boating, and a bunch of others.

  • I'm still in the 2WW hoping that something happens one way or another this weekend.  I'll probably POAS on Friday or Saturday.  I'm just trying really hard to be patient!

     

    QOTD: I'm a big walker, DH and I walk almost everyday.  I especially love it when we hike in the woods or walk on the beach, but even just walking in our neighborhood works for me...as long as I'm not on a treadmill...I hate that!

  • Hi! Thanks for the welcome! I wasn't originally going to Come on this board and just stick with the TTC board because I thought this board would be too depressing...but you ladies are great!! Sorry for underestimating you all :) Thanks for the welcome...can't wait to get to know you all! We are only in our first cycle of trying (5 DPO) and hoping for a positive on day 14!

  • Hi Ladies!! Waiting the torturous 2 weeks to test!!! 

    Fav Outdoors activity: Sunset beach walks with DH!!!

  • I am currently waiting to O, I guess.  We're in our 2nd cycle waiting to TTCAL.  We will have an hsg test done sometime between CD 8 and CD 12.  I'm a little nervous about the pain, but I know that it will only help us get some answers before we start TTCAL again. 

    QOTD: My favorite outdoor activity is probably anything!  I love being outside, especially now that the weather is actually cooling off.
