Tagging a few ttgp grads from the May bmb as well.

If you'd like to tag a grad, obviously, please do so. I have a hard time keeping track of regulars that graduated. :-D
@yogahh : FX for a great first appointment and I know the first trimester can be an emotional rollercoaster.

Anything exciting to share? I told my mom yesterday and she is so excited. She also told me that my due date May 29th was my grandparents wedding anniversary. I can't help but think that it is their way of saying they're still around.
Questions, concerns or other? Not really. I went to see DR 2 weeks ago because according to my LMP I was 7w but obviously there was nothing on the U/S because I was only 4w. He sent me for BW and everything looked great. So I do feel lucky and have peace of mind that things are going well so far. I would be going out of my mind if I had to wait the true 7w+ like everyone else.
GL to everyone on your TTC journey and hope you can join your BMB soon.
How far along are you? 10 weeks plus a little

Anything exciting to share? The news is finally starting to set in with DH. We still sometimes can't believe it's real.
Questions, concerns or other? Sometimes a catch my self checking CM and wanting to temp because it hasn't sunk in 100%. Lol. Although the symptoms are starting to show up little by little and I'm like, "oh right!" Haha. I miss you guys.

Anything exciting to share? Just found out that my husband's mid-tour from his Korea assignment should fall right around the time of my due date. So he may not miss the birth! We are pretty stoked about that!
Questions, concerns or other? I definitely miss this board and all of its spunk! I was a little hesistant to post to the grad check in, but I'm glad that there's a way for me to come here and say "hey" and let y'all know that i'm still lurking over here in the shadows, and wishing you all the best in your TTC journeys!
Yay! I so hope the timing works out and your husband can be there, @josie12367!

Which birth month board? May 2016
Anything exciting to share? I really haven't had any morning sickness. Some waves of nausea and food aversions but nothing crazy. My already big boobs (34D) are busting out of my bra and I definitely have a blump. I wear my belly band to work because buttoning my pants is a struggle. I'm excited for my first appointment next Tuesday on 10/13 and we are telling our families around Halloween (if we can wait that long...it's proving to be a struggle). I also sleep a lot, I am tired all the time and take a nap every day when I come home from work.
Questions, concerns or other? I'm a little freaked out that I don't really have morning sickness but I'm constantly telling myself that not every woman experiences it. I found out I may not get an ultrasound or hear a heartbeat at the first appointment so I'm a little bummed.
I miss this board, I think I spent more time on TTGP than I did in real life! I miss all the regs!
eta: I have no idea why everything is bold, I un-bolded things.

BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
Which birth month board? May but occasionally June.
Anything exciting to share? My first appointment is in 2 weeks. I'm super excited/nervous for it. We are going to tell my parents sometime the week after my appointment.
Questions, concerns or other? Not much. I'm similar to the other ladies with not a whole lot of symptoms. Early on I was so hungry and thirsty. Now I'm just bloated all the time (and I thought period bloat was bad). No MS, once in a while a smell will throw me off but nothing terrible.
Good luck to everyone TTC!

Which birth month board? April 16
Anything exciting to share? Hopefully something soon - had blood drawn for panorama test last week so should know results in the next week (trisomy risk and sex of the baby).
Questions, concerns or other? I could swear there were more TTGP grads in April, but maybe they're just not lurking. I am glad that the "you guys are so mean bc you don't agree with me" drama seems to have died down for the time being.
I'm jealous of all of you without any morning*** sickness. (Although mine didn't really get bad until about 7w, so you might still get lucky, ha!) A coworker who just had her second baby didn't have MS with either pregnancy. Let's just say I am jealous. Mine is just this week finally starting to get better.
***ALL DAY
@AEG84 I am totally on the MS train. It has been pretty bad lately. I feel like i'm seasick, and want to puke, but can't. I'm also hungry all the time but can't actually eat anything. I didn't have any of this with my first, but I'm finding out quickly just how different each pregnancy can be! So you are definitely not alone...lol.
How far along are you? 5w1d (time is passing soooooo slowly)
Which birth month board? June 2016
Anything exciting to share? Just that I am making a concerted effort not to go insane! I thought the TWW was bad (and it was), but after a MMC this summer, I just want to have my first appt and ultrasound. Appt is on the 27th so I won't get a US until after that. I just want to see that baby is the right size and it has a HB! AAHHHH! I have also recently decided to try meditation and have adopted the mantra, "Chill the fuck ooouuuutttttt."
Questions, concerns or other? See above. Plus I miss you guys!
Hi ladies! I really appreciate all the info I received here and definately think that it made my journey so much easier. I still lurk and hopefully can help when needed
We have been married since September 28, 2013.
We had our first child, Zoey, February 7, 2016.
I was pretty active on here for the majority of my time TTC, I never announced my bfp I just moved on to my board
**previous loss mentioned***
How far along are you? roughly 5 weeks I think (going based on O because my cycle was about 60 days and I am still waiting on my OB for an appointment to confirm)
Which birth month board? June 2016
Anything exciting to share? Nothing really, DH keeps looking at me saying I have a "glow" I say it's gas LOL
Questions, concerns or other? Just waiting for my OB to call me, I had an early loss in August and he was the OB I dealt with. Last week I had heavy bleeding (3-4 days) and some cramping so I went to my GP because my OB was closed that day. She drew betas (35.8 Thursday, 66 Friday and 257 on Monday) the U/S on Friday did not show anything but my betas keep going up..so FX. She forwarded everything to my OB and when I called the secretary informed me he would call me with an appointment...I just think with my past history and current events he would want to see me sooner than later..

Anything exciting to share? 6 days till my ultrasound. Trying not to get my hopes up too much before then, nor purchase any pregnancy/baby stuff b/c i don't want to jinx anything
Thanks again for all the advice on this board! Hope to see many more of you over on the June board!!

Anything exciting to share? Not a whole lot yet. Just very happy and hoping for a safe and healthy pregnancy. H was ecstatic when I told him, and is super happy. He wants to tell everyone and their uncle. We told H's mom, step-dad and siblings last night...MIL cried happy tears and is going to start buying things like a crazy woman. I have had such a hard time not being able to tell my mom and dad - They live 4 hours away and we wanted to tell them in person. They will be in town this weekend so we are telling them tonight!! We are taking them out to dinner. I am making inserts for the menus that have the "Grandparents Special" and list baby back ribs, baby carrots, baby potatoes, etc for the food specials and going to ask the waitress to put them in my parents menus before they get there.
Questions, concerns or other? Nothing so far. I had my first appt yesterday to get a confirmation test. Just really hoping to make it through the next 8-9 weeks without any complications, and have a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Hey! Not sure I counted as a regular, but I posted often on TTGP and I still lurk here every day

Anything exciting to share? Not yet! I haven't had my first ultrasound or real appointment. I'm meeting my midwife in two weeks for the first time, so I'm pretty excited about that. I guess the fact that my symptoms are minimal is pretty nice, too. I've had a few waves of nausea, but nothing major. A saltine cracker usually fixes it. Fx that doesn't change!
Questions, concerns or other? I'd like to say that I miss this board a lot. I hope to keep seeing a bunch of BFPs! Good luck to all of you

Anything exciting to share? Things are going well. I feel like I've lucked out as far as minimal symptoms.
Questions, concerns or other?
I really miss the tone of this board. There is such a camaraderie here that I don't feel on the BMB. BMBs seem better the more TTGP grads they have, so I'm hoping for a lot more BFPs for you ladies. Best of luck!
