*~*~*Ladies In Waiting*~*~* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Welcome to Ladies In Waiting. 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 is every Thursday - New members: Post an intro and your current TTC status. - Current members: Post updates, link to your chart, upcoming appointments, prayer requests. - Weekly check-in's will include an inspirational quote or verse and a question of the day (QOTD).
Please do not worry if your name is not on the check in, I only put those that participated in the previous check in.
I look forward to getting to know you!
Love, Megrae12

Re: ~~Ladies In Waiting~~
Good afternoon ladies. Thank you for the check-in @megrae12. How are you doing?
@peggels24 How are you, hun? Are you charting or taking OPKs to confirm O? I can't remember what you were doing.
I’m doing well. Waiting for AF to go away at this point. It was a much lighter cycle than I am used to – maybe heavy for half of a day and I think it should be all gone tomorrow (when I used to be 8-10 days). I am going to start on Saturday with OPK’s and hopefully start tomorrow with temping. Temping has been delayed because I slept like crap Monday and Wednesday and then this morning, I just plum forgot. The pretty BBT is sitting right on my nightstand (on top of my alarm clock last night) so hopefully it gets used soon J Either way DH and I get to HIO starting Saturday – we are much better about it on weekends so we’re going to push for both days for the next two weekends and then hopefully twice during the week.
QOTW: I would say Fall is my favorite season. I love the cool crisp Fall days when it is still warm enough to sit outside if you bundle up. I love the Fall clothes and I love the holiday anticipation. But Winter is a close second.
I haven't done any more geocaching. I think DH is determined that we won't until he gets me a new gps unit. He's right, but boo.
In good news, we will be getting our first solid paycheck from his new job in Feb!!!! Yaaaay one step closer to being able to finally start TTC! I think we are still on target for starting in the end of April or early May. Sooo exciting, this wait is killing me.
Hi all! Big hugs to anyone that needs them!
Thanks for the check in! How are you doing@megrae12?
Thanks! Actually I am starting to get a little excited about my chart. I keep telling myself that it could be or couldn’t be. Either way, we did all we could so if not, then next time. But then I’m like oh please LORD let this happen! I had some brown discharge (TMI sorry!) and for the most part is gone now. It made me feel like AF was teasing me. Jerk. But today I have actually felt waves of nausea. Not intense so it may be my brain just messing with me. I’m holding off on testing until this weekend, regardless of how antsy I am lol. I’ve never charted before so I’m just not sure what it all means. I saw a dip and panicked then it went up and I was like oh ok. I’m sure I’ll get it straight eventually.
My weekend was a little tough though. My friend just suffered a loss (first pg/loss) and it brought back all these feelings for me. I am trying to keep as positive as I can.
My favorite season would have to be Fall. It’s full of gorgeous colors and smells and it’s temp outside is usually worthy of just jeans and a sweater. LOVE.
Peledreamsofrain yay for pay days! It's exciting, plus the months will just fly by!
peggels24 good luck with temping this time. Hopefully AF will go away and you get the show on the road!
Thanks and thanks for the check in. I am surprisingly ok.
I went in for my baseline appt this am and I have 4 cysts (the biggest 15mm) and I was planning on doing an unmedicated IUI, but I don't know if the cysts will bench me? Has anyone experienced this?
Hope all the ladies are well!

@svancura1 FX for you this weekend! I’m sorry that your past weekend was tough.
@blackvelvet Thinking of you on Monday!
@meagpt22 FX this was your cycle!!!!! Yay for good timing either way.
@holdingouthope Did you find the acupuncture painful? I am so scared of needles and I just don’t know if I could ever do it.
@lt6720 I’m glad that your OB took the time to answer all of your questions and made you feel comfortable.
@hollynleana I hope that the cysts don’t bench you!
@momtobe85 I’m sorry for your loss – welcome. BTW – the first thing I thought when I read your screen name was “Wow, she’s old” I think my brain is on vacation this afternoon.
@racegurl87 Hi! I can’t wait for the bitch to go away!
I am going to take a temping break next cycle. I'll still monitor other stuff. I was thinking about maybe temping vaginally, but I think I'll just take a break completely. When I'm ready to temp again, I'll decide how I want to do it then.
QOTW: Fall is probably my favorite, but that's based on when I lived in Texas and the one year I lived in California. Honestly, this is my first year experiencing real seasons so my answer may change once I've experienced all of the seasons. Who knows.

@peggels24 I definitely gave them to him before the crazy started to hit. He asked for them and I was like, "No, no, silly DH. I will be able to resist." But then I realized that while I was feeling fine in that moment, I might not feel so calm later. So over to him they went. One great thing about DH is that he is very good at holding me to my word. If I try to cave, he gives me this look and I instantly feel guilty for almost giving in.

I'm happy to hear you are feeling a little more positive. I would recommend starting to chart so you can get more in tune with your cycles.
I wish I had started closer to my loss because I had no idea that I wasn't ovulating at first. FX AF arrives soon, hon.
