Hello everyone! I am from California. I literally found out this morning. Today was supposed to be the start of my period, but I have been having all these symptoms, and just decided to take a pregnancy test, and it came back positive. We haven't told anyone yet. We are still thinking about who to tell, when, and how. I am 28 years old and am a full time nurse. I am married and have a 2 and a half year old son.
I'm 28 and my DH is 29. This is our first pregnancy after TTC for 6 months. I got my first BFP this past Thursday (I woke up that morning having had a dream that I took a test and it was positive!) and took another test Friday to confirm. We are both a bit nervous, but very excited for this next chapter in our lives. Estimated due date is November 1st.
I wanted to extend my congratulations to everyone on here! Excited to share this journey with you ladies!
I am so excited (and a little nervous) to be here!
I had a mc at 6 weeks at the end of January. The Drs followed my levels down to 0 and my tests at home confirmed I was no longer pregnant as well. I ovulated about 17 days after the bleeding stopped (per OPKs) and our timing must have been good enough, because I've been getting BFPs since 10 dpo. I will have officially missed my period tomorrow (based on usual LP of 12 days).
I have estimated my due date as 11/8/16 based on ovulation.
Hoping and praying for this baby to stick.
H&H 9 months to us all!

Whelp, I got my BFP this morning. I really was not expecting this cycle to be successful because we only DTD one time during my peak time... I actually have yet to tell DH. I still need time to process this information and find a clever way to tell him. We have an 18 month old little girl and I know she is going to be a fab big sister!
Cheers to everyone! I wish everyone a healthy 9 months!
Hi everyone! I got my BFP over the weekend and this will be baby number 2! My husband and I have a three year old daughter and we are both 30. With my DD I went into preterm labor at 31 weeks but was able to hold her full term by going on strict bed rest. I am really happy to be here and excited to be a part of this group! Wishing us all Happy and Healthy pregnancies
Thank you to whoever added me to the spreadsheet! I can only bump mobile on the weekends and the document wasn't opening for me. I planned to update it today, but looks like someone was kind enough to put my info in without me even asking, so thanks!

I intro'd in my own thread last week before this thread was started, so I'll intro here as well.
I got my bfp on 2/24 at 10 dpo. This is me and my H's first baby. We tried for 15 months and 16 cycles. After 13 months we started seeing an RE, did all the testing and found out that everything appeared to be fine with both me and H. We were started on Letrozole/Femara this month and received our bfp a few weeks later. We are both excited beyond words. Its been a long, difficult, and emotional journey.

Hi! I'm Maggie from northern Connecticut. I got my positive test from blood work done last Wednesday (7dpo) and got the news at my annual physical on Friday and am due Nov 5. Hubby and I have been trying since October so this was great news. We have a little girl who's 2 1/2 and has been asking for a baby brother for about a year - here's hoping!
**Edited to update EDD. First ultrasound measured later than we thought. Due Nov 5 instead of Nov 9.
question (not sure the best place to post): how are you all calculating your due dates / how far along you are? Are you just counting weeks from the first day of your last period? Im confused as my first day was January 26 (making me 4 w 6 d and DD nov 1). But I know when you conceived plays a role in it and I'm not entirely sure. I only had one month off BCP and that was 32 days (14 day LP) but no idea what last month was as it's hard to assume they were both the same since bodies are funny.
@kristah2 Pregnancy is calculated based on the average menstrual cycle (28 days), which begins with your period. Typically they use CD1 (1st day of your LMP) to start your pregnancy count. This method assumes conception happens around CD14 when you O. So, you would be considered "2 weeks pregnant" at CD14; however, my FP is longer than average. In my case, I actually O'd on CD23, so I use this at my "2 weeks pregnant" mark and go from there. I could be totally wrong on my date, but this is the closest I can estimate it before seeing my OBGYN. Hope this helps!

I'm happy to join you all from the TTGP board. I tested this morning at 9 or 10 DPO and, after a long 3 mins, got a BFP! I took a second digital to confirm, as well.
Brief about me: DH and I are both 31 and have been married about a year and a half. This will be our first baby.
I went off birth control last Mother's Day and, after 7 months of highly irregular cycles, went to see an RE who diagnosed me with PCOS. I started Letrozole/Femara Feb. 6, then had a trigger shot Feb. 18 - 11 days later, here I am!
Sitting at the RE's office now to get a blood draw and will do another draw later this week to ensure my levels are doubling appropriately. Expected due date is Nov. 11 or 12.
I'm looking forward to getting to know each of you!

I also did a brief intro in another thread last week, but I might as well add myself here.
*losses mentioned*
DH and I are both 30, we've been married for 6 years. We started TTC back in 2012 and after two miscarriages we decided to take a long break from TTC. Our break turned into 3 years of focusing on careers. We decided to start trying again in 2015 and after 8 cycles we finally got our BFP. Based on my LMP I'm due 10/31, but I know I ovulated on day 18 so for now I'm going with 11/2 until I see my OB. Hoping that this will finally be our take home baby!
Congratulations to everyone! Looking forwarding to spending the next 9 months with you ladies.
Not sure how often I'll be around but figured I might as well intro. I was a reg back in 2012-2014, before TB went belly up for a while. I have a daughter who was born in May '14 and now I'm super excited to be doing it again with a few of my M14 bishes.

EDD is Nov. 8th based on O date.
I think "figured I might as well intro" is code for "was peer pressured into introing" by the best/worst friends ever.
I just found out we are pregnant after 6 months of trying (our first baby took ONE time of unprotected sex, so the few months was a surprise!). We are so excited and thankful to get to do this amazing journey again! my EDD is 11/5
Our daughter is 3 (Dec 2012) and my pregnancy and birth with her was wonderful! Despite my GD, I would be so honored to have such a lovely experience again!
I loved thebump last time, and I anticipate seeking wisdom and comradie as we all grow these sweet babies this go 'round
Hi everyone! My name is Marilyn, I have a son, almost 10 months, named James. And my husband and I are finally expecting #2! We started NTNP in January, then in February I used one of those useless ovulation calendars online. This month I did test strips and it worked! I am so excited to be pregnant with #2 and just am excited and loving life! With my son I absolutely adored pregnancy so I am hoping for a similar experience. My only worry is that I am still nursing and my son is on EBF. I am hoping to nurse the entire pregnancy and tandem feed, so fingers crossed on that one. Looking forward to meeting you all!
Hi Ladies and Congratulations to everyone! My husband and I found out over the weekend that I am pregnant with our first baby after trying for 6 months. My estimated due date is November 8. We are so unbelievably excited!
I'm so computer illiterate that I'm afraid I'll accidentally delete the entire spreadsheet if I attempt to add my info. BUT! Im on baby #2, due date of November 4th, and we are definitely finding out the sex!
Hi everyone!! My name is Lindsey and I'm pregnant with my second. I have a daughter named Riley who was born 6/14/13, so she's almost 3. My husband, Mike, and I have been married almost 4 years (March 24th). I used the bump during my first pregnancy and am excited to get to know you ladies! Although, I imagine I won't have as much time since I have a 3 year old this time around.
We got our BFP last Wednesday and by the date of my last period our EDD should be 11/1/16.
Hi ladies, I am new to the bump. It's been about 10 years since I have been in a birth club. I am 35, dh 27. Because of deployments constraints and my age we thought we should start trying now thinking it would take a while. This was our first month TTC and low and behold BFP on a digi at 11dpo. EDD of Nov 7th. I have a short LP so I am sure it will be later than that. My last 2 pregnancies delivered late. Ds1 was 40w 2d and DS2 at 42w 2d. Just interested to see how things have changed. It's been awhile.

Hi everyone! Im cautiously joining you. I had a loss in December at 7 weeks. After being benched for one cycle, we were lucky enough to get pregnant again. EDD is 11/2 by LMP, and 11/5 by O date. I'm having a hard time getting overly excited, as I'm afraid of another loss, but I thought I'd try to wade into this board a bit. I'm 32, DH is 33, and we've been married for 5 years.

Still nursing here too, although my DD is a little older. I'm not sure we'll make it all the way to November (I'm actually pretty ready for weaning to happen), but good to know there's another still-BFing person here!
Hi everyone First timer here! My sister suggested joining as it has helped her through three pregnancies and she is still close with the ladies from her first son. Well, I'm 31, my fiancé is 32 - and honestly this was our 'first try'. We weren't necessarily TTC, but we weren't preventing. Just decided to see what happens. Low and behold two weeks after valentine's day here I was on Sunday with my BFP! We're both pretty shocked, but more than excited
what is "team" in the spreadsheet? Like.. which "gender neutral" color do you prefer for a baby? It took me a long time to guess that but I'm not sure if I'm right. Just read the whole thread again to be sure I didn't miss it.

Its for the sex of the baby. Green means you're not going to find out until delivery. For those that do opt to find out the sex during their US's/labs, they can update the spreadsheet with "pink" or "blue."
