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

This is for Tuesday February 28. Feel free to begin checking 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 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).

Question of the day: As csuperstar02 and I have shared in the past, we are working on a new project for the LIW site. Since we?re more familiar with Google, we?ve decided to switch over the LIW website to blogger.
If you?ve not given us your ticker (in the exact code format as shown below), please do so if you want to be included on the graphical ticker page!
Check it out now on the LIW Blog!
**If you have already shared your ticker code, please just check out the blog and provide feedback (good, bad, suggestions) as your QOTD response!
**If you have already shared your ticker code, please just check out the blog and provide feedback (good, bad, suggestions) as your QOTD response!
C&P from last week:
If you have a ticker AND want to share it on the LIW website, please put it here. The thinking is that everyone will be able to see at a glance where people are in their waiting pattern!
HOW?
***if it's in your siggy, you can go in and copy/paste from there!***
Go to >Sharing >Graphical ticker >Customize your Charting Ticker,
(Just hit next through the 4 screens if you don't want to make any changes.)
and copy and paste the HTML link here. PUT A * RIGHT AFTER THE A and you should be able to post fine.

Re: ~?*??*?~Ladies In Waiting Check In~?*??*?~
yay!! Excited for you that you were able to trigger today!
Thanks! He's doing ok. Still having headaches though
he's going for a second opinion Wednesday. Thank you for asking 
Thank you! I will add you to the list when I update everyone's info tomorrow night!
Hi LIW. I hope you are all well. O dust and BFP dust to all who need it.
I am CD3. AF came after a 24 day cycle and a 14d LP, so that is more like normal. I got a new Therm today and will start using it to temp tomorrow. My old therm, seemed to have fave temps. We'll see if the new therm makes my chart look any different. I'll all stocked up on OPKs and HPTs, so as soon as AF skips town, we'll get back at it.
Love the Dr. Suess quotes, BTW!
Hello, fellow ladies in waiting. Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Been taking a pseudo-break from Bumping, but still wanting to keep tabs on everyone, so I've mostly been lurking and commenting here and there, and doing the check ins I'm a part of for the most part.
I'm currently waiting to O. started taking my Wondfos again this morning. Feeling pretty positive and hopeful lately.
Hope all of you ladies are doing well.

Hi ladies!
I'm so excited for Read Across America this week, too! I bought lots of Dr. Seuss goodies at Target earlier this year and have been saving them for a special "birthday party" for this Friday.
If I'm lucky, I O'd a couple of days ago, so now I'm just waiting to see if AF will show.
My FX for you, buckeye -- and so glad to hear about your hubby!
BFP#1 - 11/13/11, Natural MC - 12/24/11 at 12 weeks
BFP#2 - 10/2/12, Please be our rainbow.
Happy Monday to everyone!
Current status: Waiting to O. Since coming home from our vacation I've been finding it really hard to wake up to temp, hence the missing data on my chart. But I'm back to work this week so I don't have a choice in waking up now
QOTD: The new blog looks great!
DD born 3/23/2013; Baby #2 EDD 9/7/2015
Hello LIW!
Current Status: Still waiting for 1st AF.
QOTD: Like the new blog. Found my ticker on the site, but not my name under waiting to TTCAL. Love the quotes!
BFP #2 - 7/1/12 - Met my lucky charm Alexandra on 3-16-13!!!
Hi there!
I am currently on CD14. My first cycle post d&c. I have been using opks and checking cm for the first time and I'm 97% sure I ovulated on CD10 which I think is super early, but since I never charted before and I just had a miscarriage I think is possible. I made DH do the BD the other day when he got home from work at four in the morning just in case. FX I'm right. Good luck to everyone.
Thanks- I'm excited that I triggered too, I hate waiting to O!
Fx that 'whatever' you're waiting on, it gets you to pGal
Thank you!
I am also excited for this week! I teach kindergarten so Dr. Seuss is a staple in the classroom. We will be making oobleck (from Bartholomew and the Oobleck) and eating green eggs and ham!
Fx you O'd and your timing was good!
I bet it's difficult to wake up early just to temp after a vacation! I know I struggle with it during summer break- good luck this cycle!
I think for the most part, if you have a ticker you will just be listed there. But since you are currently waiting to TTCAL, we will add you to that list as well!
GL to you!
So sorry about AF coming, I was really hopeful for you! That is good news though that your cycle has straightened up! GL to you!
I was wondering where you'd been. I hope everything went ok as you said good bye to your sister. ::HUGS::
Good luck this cycle!
Buckeye, FX you will get good news in March! Maxsom, happy to see your post...I had been wondering about you too.
i might test tomorrow. I think it could go either way. I had menstrual-like cramps yesterday but it is hard to tell because my lower back/hip is acting up too. There are other MF symptoms too, but I had them every cycle. My temps just seem to be steady and not rising high enough. I have to keep reminding myself it is winter and I am temping a half hour earlier than my BFP cycle which was in July. If I get another BFN and AF still doesn't show up, I will test again on Saturday which will be CD16.
AF, O, BFP and anything else dust to everyone!!

BFP#3 ~ 4/15/12, EDD 12/21/12 ~ DD born 12/22/12
BEB, I'm so happy you were able to trigger and it wasn't too late! Fingers and toes crossed for you!
I'm in the sucky boring week and I'm waiting til the weekend to start up my OPKs and temping. I decided it's not worth the anxiey to temp throughout my whole cycle so I'm just going to do it to confirm O, then wait to test at 14dpo....we'll see how long that plan lasts
Dust to all!
Hi L.I.W !!
I just got home from the RE. I went Friday as well for B/W to detect my LH surge. Friday was too early..so I went this morning too. I'm anxious to hear what the results were. My OPK last night had a line almost as dark as the other. This morning there was also a 2nd line but not as dark..it may have been too early in the a.m. According to just my temps..FF has given me dotted CHs on cd12..but that's pretty much impossible..since the b/w said I was no where near O on cd11. Well..the waiting begins!!
On another note..I've been struggling a lot. Everything from the day I delivered Aidan has been replaying in my head all day, every day for the past 11 months. I don't want to forget, but it's just so hard to relive it over and over again. I barely sleep and wake up in the middle of the night having panic attacks. I still can't believe Aidan's 1st Bday is a month away. I painted him a cupcake yesterday to put at the cemetery for him for the month of March.
I hope everyone is doing well.. ((HUGS)) to all!!
BEB I am so glad you were able to trigger yesterday. GL to you this cycle.
Dee, I love your new "pee on all the sticks" pic. That really made me laugh this morning.
Update: I am in the 2ww. I was feeling positive, but yesterday was really dealt a blow. I had posted earlier about my one sister being pg, well yesterday I came across some info that has me about 90% sure my other sister is also pg. I am really feeling down bc they both seem to get pg so easily. I tried for 2 years before concieving, only to loss our LO. I am just really struggling today.
The new blog looks really great. You ladies have done a wonderful job putting this together. Thank you!
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
Good Morning Ladies! Not much new here, just waiting to O. I am going to start OPK's tomorrow and try to do it 2x a day. Last cycle I never got a positive so I think I missed the surge. Hope to catch the surge this time around!
Baby dust to all!!
((((HUGS)))) I'm sorry you're having a rough day
I don't have much to update this time. My betas dropped down to 15 as of Friday so I'm done with b/w (which is wonderful). I'm still waiting for my first post m/c AF. Because of my PCOS my gyn has agreed to give me Provera if it doesn't come on it's own in a "reasonable amount of time". I'm hoping it doesn't take long because MH and I are ready to start trying again. Waiting sucks.
I'm not charting so I don't have one to share.
QOTD:
Checked out the blog and it was awesome! Looks great ladies keep up the great work.Buckeye & Ktsnshn - I'll keep my FX for you!!
And big ((hugs)) to Dee and Vanessa.
update: AF just arrived for the 2nd time post m/c, so DH and I only have to wait one more cycle before we TTC again!! Waiting these past couple months has been frustrating for me (although I know that I'm fortunate that we didn't have to wait longer) and I'm so looking forward to trying again! I just feel like it will be a refreshing step in the right direction (or at least a return to normalcy).
AF dust, O dust, and BFP dust to all those waiting!!
The blog is looking awesome - great job! And yay for triggering. I definitely have my fingers crossed for you this cycle.
I'm currently in my 2WW. The past two cycles I had 2 days of +OPK's. I would assume I O'd on the second day both times. But based on temps, it always looks like it's on the first day of +OPK's since I have a bigger spike then. So I'm either 5 or 6DPO. I'm probably going to wait until at least Sunday to test when I'm 10 or 11DPO. I have no idea if I'm feeling good about this cycle. I'm sure I'll feel less and less confident as the days go on.

Hello LIW!
I haven't been temping mu ch this cycle. We just moved into our house and my routine has been way off. I can't wait until all the boxes are unpacked and everything has settled. I've been in a funk lately and I really don't know why.
The new blog looks great! Thanks for all the work you do for it!
{{HUGS}} to all!
Hi Ladies
Update: I did indeed get my BFP Sunday morning
EDD: 11/2/12. So I will be over in PGAL & the November boards waiting for many & many of you to join! Thank you for being of support to me over the past few months, & I will be praying for lots of sticky babies for you all too!
Lots of Love & many (((((HUGS))))) ~ Kristina
Congrats Krissy! BuckeyeBaby, yay for triggering!
I'm waiting to O. This is my first time trying wondfo's, and for some reason I'm having a hard time reading them. I've been terrible at temping this month. I don't know what my problem is! I'm not putting too much stalk in this month. Next month, I need to get my butt back into temping!
Sorry I am late to the check-in, but I wanted to add that the new page looks really nice! Kudos!
My update- I am waiting for AF after my second m/c. We were so hopeful at the start of this year but unfortunately those hopes didn't last long. I m/c'd on what would have been the due date from our last m/c in July. Needless to say it has been a very tough month and year so far. 2 m/c's in less than 9 months. Boo.
Congrats to the ladies waiting to O and test- best of luck to all!
Update: I *think* I'm 2-3 DPO. I haven't gotten my CH's yet. I go to the Dr. on Thursday to discuss what's been going on since my ectopic surgery and make sure things are on the right track after losing a tube. Hopefully we'll have a good conversation.

I haven't checked in for a few weeks. I'm a bad girl!! And still late to the game
I'm on the verge of cross-hairs today, FF actually gave them to me for Satruday until I entered my very first ever positive OPK !!! I admit, my heart stopped this morning - it's the difference between not a chance in hell to perfect timing, I'm having fun charting, even though I think my temperature are like a roller coaster
Oh, and BTW, I need to update my name with my fancy schmancy chart!!
