* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

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. Please make sure that if you get a BFP to PM me. I try to check PGAL, but sometimes I may miss it.

I look forward to getting to know you!

Love, Megrae12

@megrae12 thank you for the check in! how are you holding up this week??

AFM I have been taken off the bench. all looks well and they told us to just go for it, so still waiting for AF or now to O, no clue what is going on.. I was in the hospital for several days to do gallbladder attacks and had forgotten to temp so there are a few large blank spots, but we are bd'ing and I'm taking OPK's just waiting waiting waiting... the dr agreed to let me keep ttc if I stay on a strict low fat diet to keep the stones at bay, so grilled ck breasts and salad it is!

QOTW: I love bbq ck with backs attached, corn on the cob and cucumber salad.. mmmmm although I can't eat any of it

I am ok, still crazy stressed, but somewhat better now that my AC is getting fixed! Yay for TTC!! That is awesome!! I am sorry about the diet, but look at it this way, it can some unintentional weight loss

@ashtog GL to you as you burn the bench! I have to say, I think you are so incredibly brave and strong. I had my D&C on the same day your DS was delivered. I'm so happy for you that you're able to try again and I really hope you are successful sooner rather than later!

@megrae12 Yay for getting your A/C fixed! I imagine it is hot hot hot where you live.

As for me... work on the book is going pretty well. I've made some good progress the last couple of days. I've got more than half of it edited. I should be in OK shape for my Aug. 15 deadline for turning it in. Of course, it always takes me longer than I think it will!

QOTW: My favorite summer dish is anything to do with fresh tomatoes when they are at their peak in late summer. Seriously, I could gobble down gallons of super ripe, colorful tomatoes of all colors, drizzled with good olive oil, salt and pepper. Mmmmm.

It is very hot down here! I am so glad things are moving along so well on your book! I can only imagine what a labor of love that is.

DenaMaree · June 2014

@megrae12 I can not imagine going a day without air conditioning..ugh! So glad you were able to get it fixed quickly!
@Ashtog, Yikes...I'm so glad to hear your feeling better!! Yey for the weight loss! Intentional or not, losing a few pounds always makes a person feel good! So hope you get your BFP soon!
@BookishMomma, WooHoo for making your deadline! Keep up the great work!

I'm on day three of the heaviest period of my life! The cramps have been killer! And yet I'm so happy to have my AF that I couldn't care less. Bring on the midol and heat pads

. I'm still benched through the next period (praying I continue to have them between 29 and 32 days) and we are a go to TTC with my ovulation in early Aug. My Hubby booked us at Planet Hollywood in Vegas august 7th to 10th and if my cycle and ovulation cooperate we get to hopefully begin the TTC while there!

QOTW: I love grilling! My favorite this summer has been grilled salmon and asparagus.

BookishMomma · June 2014

@DenaMaree I can't remember, is this the first period after your D&C? If so, I'm not surprised that it has been heavy, given your circumstances.

DenaMaree · June 2014

Yes, BookishMomma! It arrived eleven weeks to the day post D&C. I was pre-warned by many great friends on here that I could expect my first AF to come with a vengeance and they weren't kidding
