~**This check-in is for Tuesday March 13. Feel free to begin checking in! I will be around sometime tomorrow evening to catch up with you all!**~
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~

Re: ~?*??*?~Ladies In Waiting Check In~?*??*?~
Hi my loves!! I love the quote and verse! I am again waiting to O. Hoping for great results as I will O right in time for DHs birthday so we will have lots of "fun"!
QOTD: one word to describe me.... I have a few but I'll go with, loving.
Update: CD 24, FF still hasn't given me CH. I never got a +OPK and have given up. I did put my info into Fertility Flower and that says that I O'd on CD 18. So hopefully AF will come on it's own or I will get a surprise BFP cuz I have no hope this cycle.
QOTD: DH and I both agreed it would be "awesome" lol. Honestly I think it would be outspoken.
Hello LIW! I am 32 days past my m/c and anxiously awaiting AF. I am SO ready for her to come so I can feeling like I am moving forward. Being in limbo SUCKS!
Anyway, I guess the best word to describe me is passionate. My husband thinks the choice should be "silly", but I am sticking with passionate!
BFP #2 - 7/1/12 - Met my lucky charm Alexandra on 3-16-13!!!
Hey all, to the newbies, welcome and sorry you are here. To Gatorbaby, ((HUGS)) and T&P to you today.
Update: I'm 5dpo and in the 2ww obviously. I am going to start to POAS on Saturday, hoping the luck of the irish will give me a BFP. There are a lot of us around 5-7dpo, so hopefully there are a rash of positive next week.
QOTD: Positive.
Hey ladies. Good quotes this week. I'm going to have to write those down and save those.
Waiting for AF now. I gave up waiting to O. I don't think it's going to happen this cycle.
QOTD: One word..supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Just kidding. It'd be more like, goofball.
Hi Ladies!
Gatorbaby, extra hugs go out to you today! Lots of St. Patty's Day luck to you all for O, AF, and BFP's!
Update: I bought my thermometer and my hefty copy of TCOYF this weekend. Also signed up for FF and hoping to get over the learning curve soon.
And here's my chart! <--- I hope that linked right. Now I'm just hoping to figure out when I might O!
QOTD: I would think mine would be workaholic. I
my students and do as much as I can for them, which means lots of work work work 
ETA: To fix link.
BFP#1 - 11/13/11, Natural MC - 12/24/11 at 12 weeks
BFP#2 - 10/2/12, Please be our rainbow.
Hello my fellow LIW! Sending AF, O, and BFP dust and hugs to all who need them.
Update: I am on CD8 of my first cycle past m/c. We're TTA this cycle and next cycle is up in the air depending on our emotions.
QOTD: H calls me a firecracker. I'd go with passionate.
Thank you for the hugs!
Update: Still waiting on my RE appt and EDD this week. I'm ready for those things to come and go so I can move on.
QOTD: loyal
Fx for good timed O!
Fx AF shows her face soon so you can get to TTC! Also, if I asked my husband, he'd probably say 'silly' too
Good luck testing this weekend, I have everything crossed for you!
I hope you're able to get your cycle figured out! That's so frustrating when things are 'lining up'.
LOL... goofball? No wayyyyy (fun sarcasm
)
Sounds like some exciting times for you- you're going to LOVE TCOYF! FF was a great start for me, kind of like a 'sneak preview' of TCOYF. Enjoy
Cute!
I am SOOOOOOO sorry! We keep a list of important dates and I was thinking TODAY was the 15th and it's Thursday. Still thinking about you though!
No worries! Thank you for thinking of me. Honestly the anticipation is probably worse than the actual day, so hugs now are good.
After continuous high pre-O temps, I called my OB/GYN's office this morning to ask about the results of my bloodwork. I explained to the nurse about my unusually high temps, that I even used a HPT this morning to make sure it was still a BFN, and that I woke up drenched in sweat again last night (I had that issue last cycle). I told her that I really felt something was hormonally wrong and that I really did not want to wait another two more months before seeing the doc again. I also said that I wanted a referral to a specialist as well. The nurse said the doc wasn't coming in until later today so she will have him look at the lab report and I will get in touch with her in the late afternoon.
QOTD: best word to describe me is a "homebody." I do not have much of a social life. I am content staying home with my family, reading novels, baking, cooking.
ETA: The nurse called me back at 9:45 AM! She said the doc said my bloodwork came out fine, my estrogen levels are fine. Keep taking my temp, keep TTCing...come back in May for my annual check-up if I'm not KTFU by then.
If it were only that easy!! I mean, I can't even predict my cycles. My OPKs are a glaring negative, there's not even a faded line. TTCAL sucks!!!!
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
Good morning everyone. Unfortunately I'm back. Even though I love you girls, I really didn't want to come back. I'm currently on CD7 after my CP. I went for bloodwork yesterday to make sure my HCG is down to 0. My doctor will call me back at some point this week to go over what kind of testing needs to be done since I now have 2 losses.
QOTD: It's hard to think of just one word, but if I had to choose, I would go with weird.
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
Morning! I'm a little peeved with myself. I'm still trying to get to ZERO and had planned on taking a HPT with FMU today. Well, guess who "forgot"??? WTH? How do I forget something like that? On one hand I know I can just do it tomorrow, but on the other hand, shouldn't that be the first thing on my mind?! I feel guilty somehow. Ugh. Technically the dr said to do it in two weeks which will be this Friday so I don't know why I'm beating myself up about it. Sorry for this ridiculous rant! Any whooooo...
QOTD: Stronger!
**Thanks Buckeye, for this QOTD. It allowed me to type "stronger" which makes me feel even STRONGER!!!!
***BFP 1-22-13, baby boy dx with Trisomy 13 at 15 weeks.
We let him go to Heaven on 4-27-13 at 17 weeks 1 day***
Good morning Ladies!
Update: Who the heck knows whats going on with me! I'm kicking myself big time for not temping. I'm on cycle day 28, which pre miscarriage would mean that AF will be showing tomorrow. I know all bets are off on a post miscarriage cycle, and I "believe" I O'd much later then normal. I say believe, because I did not temp. I did get + OPK's, but can't confirm that I truly O'd. Again, why didn't I temp?!?!
QOTD: I can't pick one word! I guess I'll go with complicated!
There is a lot of us around the 5-6 DPO... we will all have to keep an eye out and keep everyone sane! Baby dust to all!!!
I am 6DO... going to wait till end of next week to test. Like I said before, our timing was not the best but there is still hope. Waiting to test on my brother's birthday... maybe it will be a good day!
Good morning LIW!
Update: I am waiting for AF to leave and waiting to O (on CD6). I have been feeling very down after AF showed last week. I am trying to pick myself back up and get ready for O this weekend. DH keeps saying that it is only the 3 cycle TTCAL, and I keep saying that I feel the weight of the 2.5 years of trying. I wish I could be as positive as he is.
QOTD: I would normally say determined, however, I have been feeling pretty defeated lately.
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
Thanks for checking in buckeye, hope you are doing well! Huge hugs to Gatorbaby!
I am currently in the 2WW. I thought I O'd earlier than FF thought I did, so I think I'm out this month, that's why I'm not obsessing over it.
QOTD: One word to describe me. Some people might say rude, I say I'm honest.
TTC #2 BFP 12/6/11 chemical pregnancy natural mc 12/18/11
TTC #3 BFP 3/19/12. 4/9: HR of 134! **Bake Turkey, Bake!**
**All ALs Welcome**
The errors are really bad right now. I tried to post an ETA in my message somewhere up on this thread and I gave up after getting like 6 error pages. So I hope this one goes through...
The nurse called me back at 9:45 AM! She said the doc said my bloodwork came out fine, my estrogen levels are fine. Keep taking my temp, keep TTCing...come back in May for my annual check-up if I'm not KTFU by then.
If it were only that easy!! I mean, I can't even predict my cycles. My OPKs are a glaring negative, there's not even a faded line. TTCAL sucks!!!!
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
Update: Still waiting for my levels to drop. I can't help but laugh - FF has given me crosshairs - on CD8 - my hcg is at 767. Um, yeah, I don't think so. Needless to say, I will not be including this chart in my stats!
QOTD: DS mentioned
That's tough - I think if I have to pick one, I will say content. As much as I would like another baby, if for whatever reason we don't have one, I have a sweet, funny, loving little boy, and he will be enough. I also have an amazing DH who has been a rock - I am lucky.
*PGAL/PAL Welcome*
My Ovulation Chart
First of all, I just want GatorBaby to know I'll be thinking of you this week. I dread coming up on my EDD, and know this will be an emotional time. T&Ps.
According to FF I O'd on the 5th, so I'm 8dpo. However, this being my first cycle since my loss, I got frustrated and stopped peeing on everything in sight, so no OPKs to back that up. My temps are all wacky right now, so I'm hoping it's right. Hoping stupid old AF comes for a visit in about a week. Stupid hussy.
QOTD: I'd have to go with "spunky". I think that sums me up. I was actually thinking of "firecracker" too, and see I have a sister firecracker on this board!!!!
Update: This is the part where you all point at my chart and laugh. I'm like 82,497 DPO today according to my janky chart and my very broken BBT. Obviously, this is not the case. I will be seeing a doctor about this issue this month. I have never hit Cycle Day 42 before, other than the weird post-D&C cycle. My body is obviously peeved at me. Oh well, it'll get over it. Maybe my ovaries and uterus went on vacation.
QOTD: Happy.
I'm doing okay. AF decided to show up 6 days early so that really caught me off guard. I'm still not sure if there's a blessing somewhere in there. Maybe my body is still adjusting and getting back to normal. But I'm thankful and won't complain. At least I'm getting my period; some women are still waiting for theirs.
Today is Ethan's three month birthday and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Three months ago, I was almost six months pregnant, just a couple of weeks away from vitality. I did look at my old bump pictures and Ethan's ultrasounds. It was bittersweet. I really didn't want to go to work today but then I thought about what was I really going to do at home? So I toughed it out and went. Trying to stay busy. I think AF is doing that for me.
My one word? Fabulous. Or resilient. Either one works.
I'm glad your b/w came back ok, but sorry you're still having negative symptoms
I'm so sorry for your loss hon. Big ::HUGS::
I would be irritated with myself too- completely understand!
FWIW, I O'd about 5 days late each of my first, post m/c cycles. Sorry you're in a AF limbo, of sorts.
Congrats on your first ever +OPK! Happy humping
Stay strong hon! 3 months is really short in the grand scheme of things, but I absolutely understand the frustration. ::HUGS::
Sorry you think you're 'out' this cycle. Hope you get some different news at the end of your 2ww!
LOL @ FF... crazy charts. Your temps are probably erratic somewhat from the hCG still being in your system!
Fx AF won't be here in a week! Hope you're able to stay sane
Sorry you're in LP limbo... that must be so frustrating! I like the word you used to describe you- you ARE happy
I always enjoy reading your posts and CPs!
Big ::HUGS:: Sending T&Ps to you! Glad your body seems to be getting back to normal though.
