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~
To keep track of all your favorite Ladies In Waiting visit the Official Group Website!
***```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: Just waiting to trigger/O! I have my monitoring appointment Thursday morning, I'm keeping my Fx that my follie(s) are ready to trigger so I don't have to go back Friday!
QOTD: We would LOVE to move to Ireland. Both my husband and I love Irish culture and just from seeing movies/pictures of Ireland we can tell it's gorgeous!
I'd like to be added to the list! My name is Tricia, MH and I have been TTC since Oct. 2010. Most of my history is in my siggy. I had a surprise miscarriage this past Thursday (2/16). I didn't even know I was pregnant until I got to the ER. Right now we are waiting for my doctor to give us the green light to TTC again.
QOTD: In a perfect world I'd love to live in Ireland some day. I've always wanted to go there, it's so beautiful. But right now, I think I'd love to move back to NC (we live in PA) to be close to my family again.
Good morning LIW! I slept a total of 4 hours last night. I'm having such anxiety. I just wish this 2WW was over already. I'm 10dpo and got a BFN this morning, and MF is driving me nuts!
QOTD: I'd live on a Greek island. But considering their economic and political issues these days, I won't be going there any time soon.
I guess I am 5dpo. FF would not give me any CHs unless I removed some +opk indicators. And it is dashed Chs. Whatever. I just want to get on with this cycle.
QOTD: that is a toughie because I have been to some amazing places in Europe. I guess I would have to say Italy, but I love Paris and London too.
BFP#2 ~ 8/2/11, EDD 4/11/12, D&C 9/12/11 at 9w5d
BFP#3 ~ 4/15/12, EDD 12/21/12 ~ DD born 12/22/12
I'm currently on CD9. I'm hoping I O nice and early again this cycle because then that would mean I would O by this weekend. I'm really hoping for a November baby!
QOTW: I would love to live in Florida where it is almost always warm. We could probably also afford for me to be a SAHM if we lived there, which would be really nice. A friend of my sister's just moved there and my sister is seriously considering possibly moving down there in the future. If that happens, I would have to follow since I'm really close to my sister. My parents already said they would follow me wherever I go.
BFP #1 ~ EDD 5.20.2012 ~ MC 10.1.2011
BFP #2 ~ EDD 11.15.2012 ~ CP 3.7.2012
BFP #3 ~ DS born 12.03.2012
FF Chart
Good morning, ladies!
AF is finally gone so we can try again. I haven't gotten up the confidence to try charting yet (it looks so intimidating!), so we'll just BD the heck away until AF shows up again.
I can't say that I'd live anywhere else (I love Southern California, and we live close to our parents), but I'd love love love to visit Europe someday!
BFP#1 - 11/13/11, Natural MC - 12/24/11 at 12 weeks
BFP#2 - 10/2/12, Please be our rainbow.
I would like to be added. I am on CD4 after our first cycle TTC after our miscarriage. I knew if was probably unlikely to get a BFP on our first cycle since it took 6 cycles to get pregnant last time but I still had my hopes up. I want a baby so badly yet the next 2 cycles would be bad to be due right during our busiest season at the jewelry store that I work at.
I have an appointment with a new OB tomorrow so I am hoping she believes in charting unlike my PCP who was my OB. I also wonder if she will agree with me taking B6 to help lengthen my LP.
My husband and I would love to move somewhere in the Caribbean where we love to travel to different islands on our vacations.
BFP #1 12/24/11 EDD 9/5/12 MC 1/14/12 @ 6w 3d
BFP #2 3/28/12 EDD changed to 12/7/12 Beta #1 9DPO 29 Beta #2 11DPO 121
It's a GIRL!
My BFP Chart
Update: I just got AF so its CD1 for me! She came a little bit earlier then my 40 day cycle so I am happy! DH and I are hitting it hard these next couple of months because the due dates would be perfect since our work schedules slow down during the winter months.
If I could live anywhere, I would say Hawaii - went there for our honeymoon and fell in love! So laid back and relaxing.. But anywhere with a beach is better then Iowa lol!
Hey all, O dust and BFP dust to all who need it. Welcome to the newbies, sorry you had to join us and GL to you on your TTCAL journey, I hope it's a short one.
For me, I am 11dpo and no sign of AF, but BFN yesterday. The good news is at least my LP is 11 days min this cycle (was 14 before m/c and 9, 10 and 11 post m/c). I will test again tomorrow, but I am no longer confident this cycle. I actually had a big breakdown when I went to bed last night. It's really hitting me that our EDD for our loss is fast approaching. I am so dreading that date as it is the day before my DHs bday. I was really hoping to be pg by then, and I know that is still totally possible, but if it's not this cycle, I won't be past the first tri and since my loss was late first tri, I will be a basket case. I hate the thought of celebrating DHs bday and knowing that a member of our family is missing from the festivities. I am not getting any younger and every cycle that passes without a BFP is another cycle closer that I become to having only one child. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for that and I know alot of you ladies would kill to be where I am, but I desperately want another child. I am battling between anger and sadness. I fn hate this so much.
As for the QOTD, I love living in Canada. I think I am incredibly lucky to live in this great country. I might enjoy living in somewhere in British Columbia, it's beautiful and has better weather than we have here.
Waiting to O! I had an almost + OPK yesterday so I am thinking within the next few days I should have a +. DH & I are going away on vacation this Sunday for the week, so hopefully that turns into a "conception moon." Wouldn't that be lovely!?
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be Italy. People there are so calm and the way of life is completely different from NY! Sometimes I hate the rushing around, busy streets and just noise everywhere! But, I would need my family to come with me - I would be lost without SOME of them! lol
BFP #2 - 04/04/12, 1st Beta @ 9DPO 19, 2nd Beta @ 13 DPO 168. 1st u/s - 4/30/12 - we have a heartbeat!!
BFNs and no AF. It is driving me crazy. I wish she would hurry up and get here. I just want to start over with the next cycle.

BFP #3 4/19/13 Beta1- 106 Beta2- 524 Beta3- 3500 EDD 12/22/13 LO born 12/31/13
I am just waiting to O. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will O before CD 17, so that we can try. Otherwise we are out for this month.
QOTD: I would live in New Zealand. I backpacked through there on my way home from Antarctica and absolutely loved it.
I had my blood drawn last Wednesday and my b/w came back clear. That was my 6th blood draw and I only have one left. After I get my b/w done in March I will be cleared to TTC. The only thing that sucks is that by the time I get cleared I will have missed my chance that cycle so I won't be able to really TTC until April. I had really hoped to be pregnant by the time my EDD for my twin angels rolls around but that looks very unlikely since I would have to get pregnant on my first cycle (their EDD is 5/4). Other than that I am doing well. I'm currently enjoying a week off of work b/c it is Mardi Gras down here in Louisiana
QOTD: hmm, I don't know if I have a particular place in mind but I'd love to find someplace where the humidity is just right, the temperature is usually in the 60s-70s but never goes above high 80s and never below the 30s, and there are very few natural disasters.
Update: Currently on CD4. AF is almost gone! I am waiting to hear back from my RE so he can send my Clomid RX to the Pharmacy like he was supposed to do yesterday! I just feel like I am behind since I was supposed to start it yesterday. Then I will be waiting to O.
QOTD: Germany! My DH and I are both German and we love the culture and Germany is just such a beautiful place. I am just hoping to get DH on a plane so we could visit. I can't even get him to fly to Texas with me so this probably won't happen either.
Hello LIW!
Update: H and I decided to wait another cycle before TTC. We bought our first house and are moving this weekend so we want to take some time to unpack and settle in before TTC.
QOTD: Either Seattle or Vancouver.
Update: Not sure if I O'd, but fairly certain I did on CD18. Busted BBT giving me favorite temps, and doing weird things. Started a thread about it. Going to go EOD for another few days.
QOTD: I like living here in CA. I don't think I'd want to live somewhere else.
UPDATE: 3DPO (but could be 4 or 5 DPO depending on whether my temp was accurate). For now, I'm going with FF at 3DPO. I probably won't be able to hold off testing until 10DPO--so a week from today.
QOTD: I've traveled all over, and we loved Italy, but I would only want to live there if I could bring our families with us. My parents won't be on this earth forever, and my nieces and nephews will only be children for a finite period of time. I don't want to miss any time with any of them.
Update: Just waiting to O. I will start OPK's this week. Hopefully we get some good timing this cycle!
QOTD: If I could, I would move to Rome. We had an amazing time there when we visited.

~*~*Everyone Welcome*~*~
Hello Ladies!
Nothing new on this front. We officially end our TTA next month and we really don't know if we're going to try again soon or postpone it. We want to travel and go overseas to visit family (my husband is Ukranian) and in order for us to do that, it would mean postponing TTCing for a while. We do want to get pregnant sometime this year, and we will.
Now I just gotta lose all this poundage I've gained. Geez. I enjoy junk food way too much. I have to get in shape for our March for Babies walk in April.
If I could live in anywhere in the world...hmm...probably nowhere but here in LA. I really love it here.
Welcome to LIW! I'm sorry you're here, but this is an amazing group of ladies! Do you have a f/u set up with your RE?
I agree that you're definitely 5dpo! You're so lucky to have gone to Europe! My husband and I want to go to Italy some day
Good luck TTCAL! I have a friend who lives in Hawaii right now and she loves it. I would be surprised if she ever moved back to the mainland!
Fx you O early! I am on CD 10 so we're close together
GL TTCAL! When I started temping I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing, but I definitely learn by doing. I found the tutorials overwhelming so I just temped for a cycle THEN read all the tutorials on FF and then it made much more sense to me. Also, I spent a lot of time chart stalking to learn
Now that I can pretty much know down to the day, when to expect AF (or be hopeful for a BFP) I don't think I could ever let it go!
Welcome to LIW, so sorry you're here though. GL this cycle and with your new OB appointment. Some OBGYNs are all for (and knowledgable) about charting and others are not. My first OBGYN told me my charts were ALL wrong and I wasn't Oing when they said I did because people with 28 day cycles O on CD 14
My current OBGYN (and RE) both support me charting and felt it gave them documentation of my short LPs (always 9 days).
Just know that the medical community is pretty divided on short LPs/LPDs. Some believe it's a problem, others do not. How many cycles have you had a short LP? I would ask your new OBGYN at what point they would check out hormone levels (CD 3 b/w, 7dpo b/w) if you continue to have short LPs. Some short LPs can be corrected with a progesterone supplement during the 2ww while others require something more serious (clomid is the only thing that fixes my short LP).
Best of luck to you and keep me updated
Congrats on your longer LP! Small victories
Fx you'll get some even better news in a day or two! While I am not in your shoes (I have no children) I could imagine how heartbreaking that would still be.
I keep (seriously) discussing moving to Canada with my DH but he has no desire to leave the states. I think your country is awesome and beautiful!
Fx you O soon for your 'conception moon'
::HUGS::
I know you don't temp, but are you (somewhat) certain of your O time (via secondary signs)? Maybe you just O'd late... Fx that you are not out!
Fx you O soon so that way you have a chance this cycle! New Zealand sounds like a teachers dream come true- there's such amazing educational research and practices that come from there!
That is a long wait! Fx that it's a good wait
Sounds like we should start and Irish wanna-be club
Lucky you- week off for Mardi Gras! Great news about your b/w, hopefully your next one clears you to TTCAL!
I still think that is nuts that your RE forgot! Then again, at my REs clinic his nurses fill out the Rx's and the REs just sign them, the only thing we get called in are trigger shots since they come from a fertility pharmacy.
Congrats on buying your first home- so exciting! I'm sure you'll be so busy moving in and putting the personal touch on your home that this month of not TTC will fly by!
Sorry your BBT crapped out on you. Sounds like you're covering your bases though!
Good luck to you this cycle! I love living in a rural area! We're about an hour from a few big cities, but we have many Amish for neighbors
Good luck this cycle! I can barely hold of until 10dpo too. Hopefully the extra day in February will bring you good luck
Fx for good timing!
How exciting that you may be going overseas to visit your DHs family! Good luck on losing weight, it's hard but I have faith in you!
You're not late- just in time
Sounds like you've got a good goal in moving into charting, one step at a time!
