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 verse. We look forward to getting to know you!
~buckeyebaby814 & csuperstar02~
A BIG thank you to coreysmomma for running the LIW previously! We wish you the best, as you move forward in your pregnancy!

***```We are looking at ways of streamlining the actual website. If you would like to remain on "The List" page, please post an update to let us know you're still out there. Also, we'll be creating a 'ticker' page (for ladies that have them) that will show what stage of waiting each lady is in. If you would like yours added please mention it in your response. THANKS! ```***
(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).

Re: ~?*??*?~Ladies In Waiting Check In~?*??*?~
Update: Nothing much here! Still on BCPs, but they are not making me as sick as they were, woohoo!!
QOTD: I am not a big TV watcher but my husband and I have a few favorites, thanks to Netflix! We caught up and are current on both 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Dexter'.
Intro: My hcg finally hit zero after a D&C on 12/21 to remove some remaining tissue from my m/c on 9/26. The information page after the D&C said we needed to wait until after my first AF, but I am going to ask again at my f/u if that applies to me or if we need to wait a bit longer. Hopefully AF comes soon.
QOTD: I like most of the crime dramas. I was watching Bones, but not so much this season with pregancy and young baby on the show.
Update: Since I Oed so early last cycle FF predicts I'll be Oing today but I'm hoping it will hold off until the weekend for our trip to Atlantic City since I was still spotting yesterday. My temperature spiked today so fingers crossed it's just a fluke and my body will O when my lining is good and ready.
QOTD: We have just recently discovered The Big Bang Theory and can't get enough! Luckily TBS indulges us with a lot of marathons of it.
BFP #2 on 2/10/12 - Little Nugget's EDD 10/23/12, Natural Miscarriage on 2/29/12
BFP #3 on 6/7/12 - BB's EDD 2/19/13, arrived 2/18/13!
I'm waiting to get that BFP! I'm 5DPO, but actually not feeling too thrilled about this cycle, so we'll see.
GTKY: Umm I'm sort of a TV addict, but right now my favorite show is probably Revenge. I do also love Modern Family and several trashy reality tv shows
Waiting to test, which won't be until next week.
QOTD: I like Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead, and can't wait until the new Arrested Development episodes will air on Netflix.
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!
Hello ladies!
I just started posting here, I lost our baby at 10 weeks. My D&E was 6 weeks ago. We have to TTA for 2 cycles and AF showed up on Christmas Day! I'm charting this cycle and we look forward to TTC next cycle. I've been posting here for a few days now and I'm glad I made the jump to TTCAL while we are still TTA. Lots of luck and love to everyone!
QOTD: Right now, The Middle and Modern Family are my two can't miss shows.
Baby #3 is on the way! EDD 3/8/15
DD1--8/29/10
DD2--11/6/12
Good Morning Ladies.
Welcome izziebee and cjsmom79. I am so sorry for your losses. Sending out extra thoughts and prayers for you today.
Well, AF has come and left so we are officially back to TTC again. I should be O'ing somewhere between the 6 and 16 so I'll start my OPK's then. Temping has completely gone out the window.
I think the last show that I was super in to was Lost. I loved that show. I pretty much DVR everything and watch it when I get a chance but Lost I made sure to watch every single week. Ohh and True Blood but it's hardly ever on. What the heck is up with a 3 month season?
Hope you ladies have a wonderful week, I'm going to go enjoy my last day of vacation.

TTC Baby Rob #2 06/11 BFP 11/06/11 EDD 07/16/12 Natural M/C 11/25/11 @ 6w3d
Baby Rob #2 (Sloane), in our hearts always.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here comes Baby Rob #3
BFP on Cycle 17 09/27/12. EDD 06/04/12! Please Stick Baby! A/S 01/22/13 Baby looking great. Officially TEAM BLUE! Jack is getting a Baby Brother! RCS scheduled for 05/29/13. William Daryll born at 9:59am on 05/29/13. Left ovary and tube removed due to peach sized tumor found during RCS. Pathology came back benign!
I'm just waiting to O. It looks like it's later than usual this cycle and I'm getting impatient. But it looks like I'm almost there.
QOTD: I watch way too much TV so I have a lot of favorites. But since I'm immature, I'll have to go with Family Guy. Next would be all those trashy MTV reality shows (Real World, the Challenge, Jersey Shore, Teen Mom).
BFP #1 ~ EDD 5.20.2012 ~ MC 10.1.2011

FF Chart
In the 2ww now!
BD timing was poor considering we were on vacation with the family, but last BD was Friday morning and I O'd on Saturday, so it wasn't HORRIBLE, but our chances are slim. Oh well, I guess time will tell!
QOTD: My list of guilty pleasure shows, because my normal shows are boring: Dance Moms, Toddlers and Tiaras, Teen Mom.......wow. I'm a dork!!
(((HUGS))) to you all today!
Hi ladies
Sorry I've been MIA this past week! I thought my time off for Christmas would be at least half spent on the couch bumping and watching movies but of course, I didn't even get one good day of lounging in!! I don't have any updates really....still waiting on my first AF to arrive (should be within the week FX).
Non-TTCAL related updates: over my break I got a wrist tattoo (it's a dove with "Proverbs 3:5-6" sound familiar buckeye?
). Also, I dyed & chopped my hair off...shortest it's been since like 3rd grade but I like the change. Figured I might as well take advantage of the TTA for 2 months and do all of the things I can't do once I'm pregnant!
QOTD: What is your favorite TV show? Grey's Anatomy, Big Bang Theory, & True Blood
Inspirational Quote: My husband says I always come up with the worst possible scenarios..currently writing this quote on a post-it to put on my desk!
Hi ladies!
I am waiting to test right now. If AF doesn't show, I will test on Sunday.
My favorite TV show is The Wire. I also love Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Top Chef!
two years!

Brie Fit Blog | BFP Chart
Good morning everyone!
My update: 11dpo and dying to POAS. For some reason, I'm not feeling very optimistic though, so I'm trying to hold off. Part of me says "just test" to get over the suspense. The other part of me says "just wait" until AF shows (or in a perfect world...doesn't show.)
A good dose of BFP dust would be great and very appreciated!
ETA: Forgot the QOTD!
QOTD: I'm kind of a tv junkie. I love most reality shows (especially on TLC and food network). Private Practice is probably one of my favs.
ETA #2: After reading everyone's responses, I need to add True Blood, The Middle and Modern Family to my favs. I told you I was a tv junkie!
Hi ladies! I'm pretty sure I'm still waiting to O. FF moved my CHs today, but I still don't think I have, unless it was yesterday, but I'm still getting - OPKs. It's frustrating. But DH doesn't mind all the FWP...
My favorite shows are Grey's, Top Chef, SVU (although I haven't watched this season without Stabler), and Modern Family. I also love 90s sitcoms.

Good morning ladies! I am still waiting for AF. On a positive note, at least I am not bleeding anymore (it has been 6 weeks of bleeding)!
QOTD: My husband and I are addicted to Blue Bloods and Criminal Minds. Other than that we channel surf to see what looks interesting.
TTC since 11/09; 5/11: lap (endometriosis-cleared), HSG (high pressure in tubes- cleared) and Hystoscopy (endocervical polyp - removed)
8/5/11: BFP; 11/14/11: no heartbeat on US; 11/16/11: delivered my angel baby, 19w1d; 12/15/11: D&C
PgAL/PAL Welcome
CD 2 here, and I have to say this is probably the worst AF I've had since coming off the pill. It's not crazy heavy (in fact, I'm kind of shocked that it's not), but I'm having horrible back pain and terrible cramps, plus had some awesome nausea yesterday
QOTD: My all-time favorite TV show is Friends. But currently on TV, I'd have to say I'm in love with New Girl!
Update: FF is telling me I'm 4DPO but I think I am out this cycle. To be honest, I am OK with that. FX for an October or November baby.
QOTD: I'm kind of a reality junkie. Love the Kardashians and the Bacehlor (did I really just admit that?!?). I like the singing competition shows to like Idol and XFactor. I caught a few episodes of Suburgatory and loved that as well.

I'm just in a pissy bitchy mood today. I started spotting very very lightly on Sunday, you'd think it was IB. I had a major temp drop this morning and am expecting AF any second now. WTF?!
I have a few favorite shows right now so I can't just list one: Once Upon a Time, NCIS, The Vampire Diaries.

Update: I am still waiting for my HCG to drop to 0. Last thursday it was down to 112. I go in for *hopefully* my last draw this thursday. It's so hard when the phlebotomist doesn't know that you WANT your HCG to be low and they try to be excited for you and start asking too many questions! ugh....
QOTD: I have several, but I always go back to How I Met Your Mother. Doogie is so hilarious

Hi, ladies! I'm glad some of you are doing so well! I'm sorry to see some of you needing to join us, but welcome, and I hope you get your take-home babies soon!
My update: I guess I'm back in the 2ww since FF decided to change my O date again. This is now technically 3.5 wks in the 2ww. The waiting is driving me crazy!! But I like our odds better with this O date, so I can deal with that if it means a BFP.
QOTD: I am in love with The Big Bang Theory and Doctor Who!!
I have about 3 1/2 more weeks of BCP and hopefully after that we can start TTC again. I just want my bleeding/spotting to stop for good.
QOTD: Private Practice is probably my favorite drama, and Modern Family is my favorite comedy.
Mother to DD, born sleeping on 9/28/11, and DS, born 3/12/13, 5lbs 13oz, 19in
Update- I believe my first AF post m/c is finally coming. Despite the fact that I have a birthday getaway trip planned with H for this weekend, I am hoping that this spotting means her return. So looking forward to not having to avoid anymore and actually getting to TTC again.
QOTD- I love Dexter, HIMYM, and Modern Family.
Update: I think I'm O'ing today, so I guess I'm waiting for that egg to get out there and find a good sperm to hook up with!
QOTD: I watch too much TV. My fave is The Biggest Loser, but I also love The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family and HIMYM.
Married my love 6/11/11 | MMC 10/11/11 | Eliza Frances born 9/18/12 | Rhett Garland born 2/24/14
You probably have better timing than you thought. I always thought I needed to hit O day too. Apparently O-2 is the best day for chance of conception.
Edited to make PIP smaller
Brie your chart looks stellar! FX for you!
Update since last week: I O'ed finally on CD 23. Very exciting stuff for me. Now we'll just see what LP decides to do. If all remains on schedule, AF should show this weekend. Then we are TTC again. Woot!
QOTD: Favorite all-time TV show is the Golden Girls. Proud to say I was loving it long before Betty White became cool again. :P Seriously, I can't NOT smile when watching those episodes (as well as wonder what was UP with 80s Miami fashion!)
Hello Ladies!
I'm 5dpo right now and with this cycle being the first one with temping and all that, I kinda feel good about it. I know our timing could've been better, but well... We are going to see
Other than that I just really hope that 2012 is going to treat me better really soon. The last two days were ridicoulus...
QOTD: My favourite show is "One Tree Hill" and I'm excited and sad all at once, that the new season is going to start next week. It's going to be the last season ever and it's only 13 episodes long. Booooo!
Update: I'm waiting to O... Still trying to figure out how my timing was off last cycle, but oh well. FX this one will be it.
QOTD: I love The Good Wife, One Tree Hill, Teen Mom ( my guilty pleasure), The Voice (can't wait for it to come back in Feb.)

I'm still waiting for AF #2 to show up after m/c in early Oct. It's been almost 6 weeks since my first AF so I'm hoping it shows up soon. I've also been testing just in case, but no luck there either. =
QOTD: My current favorite TV show is How I Met Your Mother. We don't get any channels, but do stream Netflix so I watched seasons 1-6 over break. lol I can't wait to watch the first part of season 7, but not sure when I'll be able to.
I think I'm in the 2ww (FF has moved my o date twice this cycle). So I guess I am waiting for AF being that we had to TTA this month. Hopefully we'll be ready to go again in a few weeks.
As for TV...I love TV! Fave shows are Revenge, Grey's, Private Practice, Bones, CSI NY and One Tree Hill. My guilty pleasures are the Bachelor/ette/pad and Biggest Loser.
Hi everyone! I'm a little late today, since I was teaching. But here goes:
I am currently waiting for AF to arrive. I haven't really officially started charting - I have to buy the right thermometer and all that. So I'm just keeping track of how long since my natural m/c started.
QOTD: My all time FAVORITE show is Friends. Right now I love American Horror Story (and all my others, greys, private practice) And my guilty pleasure it Teen Mom.
~*BFP #2 6/8/11 missed m/c 10.3 wks 8/11*~

Thanks! FX for you too!

Brie Fit Blog | BFP Chart
AF is finally here so now I'm waiting for her to be over so we can TTC! I'm on CD4 so AF should be gone tomorrow.
My favorite show right now is probably Dexter. LOST is my all time favorite show. I still rewatch the seasons. I'm into the intense shows where I have to figure out what's going on
Welcome to LIW! Sorry you've been through such an ordeal, hopefully you won't have to TTA too long!
I just started watching The Big Bang Theory too! We really like it
I have EVERYTHING crossed for you! I really hope this is your cycle and you get a BFP!
