AmyF86

Hi all! I am Emeigh (pronounced Amy). I am 27, and DH just turned 35. I had an incomplete miscarriage followed by a D& C on 12/30, but by some miracle of God one month to the day, I had a bfp hpt and blood draw thursday, with a due date of 15 Oct. I will have to do another blood draw for levels this coming week to confirm it is a new pregnancy, but all indicators point to yes. We are so excited, but yet trying to use caution with the small chance it could be residual from my last mc. So MANY emotions!!! Other than that, we live in Tucson, my husband is a pilot in the Air Force, and currently stationed at DM.

Hi, I'm Melissa. Just got a BFP this morning and DH is out of town until tomorrow so I've been trying to come up with a cute way to tell him! We weren't trying, but weren't not trying either but this is our second, our daughter is 2.5 and I was on the July 2011 board so i look forward to getting to know everyone here. I'm not really sure of my EDD.. October 7th or around there!

jljeanblanc

My name is Jess and I'm excited to be here. Due October 4, 2014 with our first. My husband and I have been TTCing for over two years--I'm 32 and hubby is 36. Still cautious as I've had 2 CPs in the past few months, but my beta was 2900 yesterday (and seems to be doubling quite well...) So fingers crossed, first ultrasound scheduled in a week, hoping to see a heartbeat so we can tell our parents!! {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252 {\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Helvetica;} {\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;\red51\green51\blue51;\red255\green255\blue255;} \deftab720 \pard\pardeftab720\sl280\partightenfactor0 \f0\fs22 \cf2 \cb3 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0 \outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 }

Hello everyone!  My name is Kristen and I'm 33.  This is my first pregnancy and my husband and I have been TTC since we got married in 2007.  We went through a lot of fertility treatments in 2013 and ended up getting pregnant during a break from that.    My EDD (my guess) is October 7th and I am currently 4 weeks, 4 days along.  I have my first OB appointment on Thursday.  Have already had 3 betas and my progesterone run and all numbers were good.  I look forward to getting to know you all.

megsandjohn

Hi ladies!
I'm 31, from Toronto, Ontario and this is my third pregnancy. My son is 5 and my daughter will be 3 in March. This pregnancy was a complete surprise but now that the shock is wearing off, I'm feeling very blessed and excited. My main concern is that I struggled with postpartum depression after both of my babies and I'm terrified to go through it again. I'm trying to be positive and just focus on putting supports in place for after this baby is born. I know my warning signs by now so I hope to be able to catch it early and do what I need to do. Right now I'm weaning off my antidepressants and hoping to be able to manage ok without them during this pregnancy.

MissKris57

Hi! My name is Kristen and I am 33. First Bfp received 1-24-14 expected due date 10-7-14. Worked with fertility clinic for 6 months to get my cycles "rebooted" finally convinced naturally after 4 months un-medicated! Super excited!!!! Still in shock

Justabean3

I'm 31 years old and DH is 35. We are expecting my 3rd baby 10/5 - 10/11. They are doing a gestation scan 02/14 to see exactly how far along I am. I have 2 boys one 3 and one 15 months. I have a feeling there could be twins with this one but you never know.  I do newborn photography, 911 dispatcher and I sell Jamberry Vinyl Nails.

britneyfaye

Hi! ::waves:: My name is Britney. I am 24 and H is 25. We just got our first BFP last night (2/1/14) at 9 dpo. Based on LMP we are due 10/10/14. We tried 9 months for this BFP.  The first few months were spent using provera to "jump start" cycles and I didn't O until October. Thankful and blessed this happened naturally, we were scheduled to begin testing in April. Right now we are excited, scared, nervous....SHOCKED!

New to this board. Was part of the IF board for a while - but SO happy to say I am due 10/3 with our FIRST! I am Skye, live in Maine, I'm an RN and my husband and I have been TTC for a year and a half. Obviously, I know this is so early, but I'm very hopeful!

nshay2008

This is my first pregnancy and I am due on October 1st. I just got married 3 months ago, so I guess we didn't waste any time I'm struggling with depression and loneliness this first trimester. Lack of "having fun" if you will. I feel like life is so limited pregnant so I just sit home bored 100% of the time and it's pretty miserable. Can't find motivation to do anything. Looking forward to talking with y'all and getting some ideas to help me get out of this rut.

MissMandyD

Just saw this...I wrote a separate intro on the main board but will add one here too. I just got my BFP today and have my fingers and toes crossed for a happy and healthy 9 months! We lost our ID twin girls at 20 weeks about 6 months ago so my emotions are a mix of excited, scared and nervous. Can't wait to get to know you all and hoping for the full 40 this time!

Hi, my name's Kathleen and I'm 34 years old.  This will be baby number 2 for my husband and I.  Our DD just turned 2 last month.  Due October 2nd.  Although my daughter was born 3 weeks early so I might end up being a September mom this time around.

mandapear

Hi All,

I'm Nina, and I live in the Philadelphia suburbs. I'm a 27-year-old PhD candidate, hubs is a 28-year-old medical resident. We have a delicious son who just turned 1 last week. Just dropped down to BF'ing before bedtime, which apparently was enough to trigger one period and ovulation and then BFP! Feeling very lucky (and just as nervous as the first time around, ugh!) EDD is Oct. 7th. Not looking forward to carrying through the summer, but I'm really excited to give DS a built-in best friend.
