**INTRO THREAD and EDD**

Hi everyone! Congratulations on your BFP! Tell us a little bit about yourself and put your EDD below. 

*if someone knows how to make a google doc and put the link in here for us to add that would be great*

I'll go first...

I have been part of the bump since July 2015. I was on the TTGP board from June until January (a brief time away in October. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks-blighted ovum). In January I found out I was pregnant and joined the October 2016 Moms board. I had a missed miscarriage and lost our baby at 12 weeks. He had stopped growing at 9 weeks 4 days. I had a natural miscarriage. I joined the miscarriage board but never rejoined the TTGP board. I lost my baby March 29th and found out I was pregnant again on May 21st. DH and I are very excited but obviously very nervous. We have no living children. I can't wait to see my baby on an ultrasound to make it feel real! My EDD is Feb. 1st! 

I can't wait to meet everyone!

Here is my story

I'm 37 (38 in July) I have two kids that are 17 & 13 from a previous relationship. I had my tubes tied after my 13 yo. I married my husband 8 years ago. We had a tubal reversal Dec 13. We got pregnant twice both ending in early mc. We decided to give IVF one shot because my tubes were damaged. We collected 18 eggs. 8 fertilized normally. We transfered 2 perfect 5day embryos and have one more that made it to freeze. I got my bfp at 4dp5dt. My due date is 2/2/2017 earlier if both babies are in there. :-)  Beta is Friday. 

Edit to add that it's twins!! Ultrasound confirmed 6/10.

Hi! I think I go here now. I got my BFP yesterday for an EDD of 2/3/17 after 6 months of trying. I was active on TTGP for a while a few months ago and then fell away during a very busy work time, but am glad to be back. I'm 31, H is 37, and this is our first pregnancy. It's still very early but I couldn't help jumping in. Feeling all of the feelings-excited, nervous, etc. It's pretty surreal! I won't have my first appointment for almost a month, and until then I feel like I'm sitting on the world's biggest secret. H&H pregnancies to all, and I look forward to chatting with you!

Hello!
So I have been bumping since last May 2015. I had a MC in Oct, my due date was just last week, so I love being able to celebrate new life during this ruff time for me. I am sooo worried about another MC though, in my family we are fertile but have a lot of MC. I am 31 and my DH is 33. I look forward to getting to know you guys.  My due date is Feb/1st/2017.

Hi everyone!!! Today is my 27th birthday and this morning I got our BFP!!! My due date is February 1st, 2017 based off of online calculators! We had a CP last month and I've been extremely anxious since then, so I'm hoping this baby is a keeper! This will be our first baby and I swear the baby dust has been flying around all of my friends and family members, so hopefully it stays with me too! I'm surprising DH with the news tonight!! He's going to be so excited!!!! I can't wait to share stories with you all!

Hi everyone! I got my BFP today and estimated due date is 2/3/17. This is my first pregnancy and I am so thrilled! I'm 27 and my DH is 29. We have been TTC for a couple of months.

Hi! DH and I have been trying for 12 months, and got our BFP a week ago ~ we are so dang excited! EDD is currently Feb 1, 2017 and we're doing our followup hCg tomorrow morning. Looking forward to getting to know you all

Hi everyone! Z. (28) & I (29) have been dating for 6 years, when in March on my birthday, he proposed! He's been in law school for the past three years and now that he's graduated, we are not wasting any time. We pushed our wedding date to 9/2/17 to make way for our baby. Can you say optimistic much? On May 8th (on Mothers Day!) we started TTC. On May 23rd, I took a digital EPT test after my 6AM workout and it was POSITIVE! We were so shocked because we didn't expect it to happen so soon, let alone our first try! But nonetheless we are so over the moon and incredibly excited. This will be our first and we cannot wait for our little bundle of joy to arrive on February 1st, 2017.  

Best of luck to all of us!  So looking forward to this journey with all of you!

Hi all! I'm 38, H is 43, and this our first everything! I got my BFP last night, after a BFN at 9dpo, and then being on the road for work and away from my HPT stash. Looks like my EDD is 2/3/17, but I'll probably have a more accurate idea after my OB appointment (hopefully this week). This happened way faster than I expected- 2 months NTNP, then 2 months when I turned out to have been miscalculating my O date, and then the first month we adjusted timing, bam! I was due for AF on Wednesday, and was cautiously optimistic when she hadn't shown up by the time I got home last night.
Welcome and H&H 9 months to everyone!

Hi everyone. My name is Isis. I am a little hesitant to join but I would like to introduce myself. I took a pregnancy test earlier this week and got the exciting news, BFP! I am cautiously excited, DH and I experienced a miscarriage in March of 2015 and another miscarriage in February of this year. We have a beautiful 3 year old daughter, who we really want to make a big sister, so hopefully this is our sticky baby. My due date is February 4th 2017

ETA: Wishing everyone a H&H nine months!

Hi! I have been on the Bump for almost 8 years! (and the knot back then!) I have been on much less frequently since last January. I kept meaning to get back on but I didn't really feel like my situation fit in. I have two older children and a daughter who is 3. I have had losses before I had my daughter and I spent part of that pregnancy very nervous. I feel nervous this time as well but a bit better knowing they are monitoring everything fairly closely for the first few months. I have had 4 previous pregnancies including one late loss but not including my early losses. EDIT I am more familiar with the way the boards were before last January and I really liked them back then. I am hopeful things are still good.)

I am a gestational surrogate for a close relative.(cousin who is not able to carry) The transfer was only a week ago but I got a faint positive this morning and again tonight. I go for a beta test this coming Friday but I couldn't wait to test.

EDD February 6, 2017

Wow, how cool!  What an amazing gift to give your cousin.  I'm so sorry for your losses, and FX for good news from your betas!

Hey ladies! 

So I just got my BFP on Friday at just 9 DPO and I am honestly terrified. I tried two different brands of HPT and they both came back positive, so I called my OB/Gyn's office and she told me to come in for a blood test to confirm. Of course, because it was Friday, and this is a holiday weekend, I have to wait until Tuesday to find out what my HCG levels are, as per the charting I have been doing for BBT estimates that I am only 3 weeks. My last visit from AF was a short one, only two days..and very light. So, I am completely befuddled. My DH is still very unsure about everything and at one point, he told me to "call the clinic" to get more information on RU-486. But then last night, he got teary eyed and said, "We are having a baby". So, needless to say, it has been a very emotional weekend thus far. My EDD is on or about Feb 5, 2017 based on my charting. I should have a better idea next week.

I am 31 years old (32 in August) and DH is 33 (34 in Sept). This is my first CONFIRMED pregnancy and we recently had a scare at the ER that they suspect could have been a very VERY early miscarriage, but they are still not entirely sure. I ended up having to take progesterone to stop the bleeding. SO, again...very nervous..terrified..I am a Paramedic, so you would think I would be better prepared for this, but I'm not.   

I'm glad several of us are in the same boat!

Hi hi! I've been on TB for over a year, but lost track of when that started a while ago. We've been TTC since May 2015. I'm 4 weeks today, EDD is 2/5/16 (DH's birthday!)  This was a surprised for us, as we were told to wait a cycle and weren't really crazy about temping/OPKs/etc. However, a happy surprise!

***TW loss mentioned***

I'm 29, DH is 30. This is our third BFP (in a row, no less) the other two ended in MC. We're hoping so hard and are cautiously optimistic that this will be our rainbow baby! It's a bit stressful as we're terrified of another loss and I just finished week 1 at a brand new job, but I'm not letting that scare me right now!

Happy to be here for the time being and congrats to all!

**tw: loss mentioned**

I just got my BFP yesterday! I'm 28 and husband is 26. We had been trying 7 months this time around. We were surprised to find out we were pregnant in August, but it ended up being a blighted ovum. This time around, we are both feeling very hopeful and excited! EDD 2/6/17. Congrats to you all! Wishing everyone happy and healthy pregnancies!

alexandra3733

Just got my BFP yesterday after two months TTC and EDD is February 8, 2016. 

**TW - loss mentioned**

I lost my my son at 28 weeks four months ago due to a large abdominal defect called gastroschisis. It was an extremely tragic loss and TTC helped us grieve. 

Before losing my son I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks last February and two miscarriages at 6 weeks before that.

I'm so excited to be pregnant again but extremely nervous has well. Praying hard that I'll get to meet this little one.

Hello everyone! I got my bfp on Thursday with an EDD of February 1. 

Tw loss mentioned

After TTC for 10 months we got our bfp in March but lost the baby at 6.5 weeks. After that we were told we had a 1-3% chance of concieving again due to MFI and were set to start IVF in June. This baby totally surprised us and has officially been nicknamed 'Clutch Baby'. We are cautiously optimistic after two blood draws and good doubling time. We are praying this is a sticky baby but haven't told anyone yet! 

Yailani23

@MedicMomma84 Thank you so much. I appreciate it! I'm sending good thoughts your way as well. Here's to sticky babies!

Was greeted by an interesting surprise this morning; I'm pregnant 
EDD is 2/2/17 with #2.  I have a DD who will be 2 in December. I am also going to join the January group since I had a c-section last time and may opt for a scheduled.

Jamiemitchell85

Hello!! I got my BFP on Saturday.

This is baby #3 for me and DH. Completely shocked that we got pregnant on cycle 1. 

TW... This is our rainbow baby after losing one back in Janurary.

EDD is 2/2/17

Super excited to get to know everyone here.

Hello all! My husband and I are both 28 years old, and we're expecting our first baby on or around  February 2, 2017!!!! Beyond excited. We got our BFP on May 22, 2015, after two months of trying. We wanted to start trying in December, but had to push our timeline back because of an unexpected complication with my IUD. After years of waiting for my husband to be ready, and seeing all my friends have babies, IT'S FINALLY MY TURN!

Congratulations to everyone here! I'm excited to get to know you **

Hi!

I've been on TB since I was pg with DS who's 2 in Oct. I literally just got a positive. We haven't been trying and I was lacking on my bc. EDD is 2/5. I'm kinda really freaking out. 

Knottie14796507

Hi Ladies!!!!

I got my BFP on the 23rd! It was my first cycle trying and off of birth control after 8 years! To say we were a little surprised it happened so early would be an understatement! 

EDD: February 2, 2017!

You should be able to post anywhere you want! I think you can just only pick one to go on your homepage. I'm sure Jan would also be glad to have you. I've lurked there quite a bit waiting for this board to pick up.

Hiii I got my BFP yesterday. This is my second DS will be 3 in November.  DS was sort of a weird miracle baby because after a year ttc number 2 we found out I only have one tube and no eggs. 

This is was my first round of ivf. I had 5 follies 3 fertilized 2 made it to blastos and just one made it past genetic testing. 

It's another boy

I was a bumpie with them, but couldn't log into my old account.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Hello! I just found out I'm pregnant with number 2. I think my due date will be in February or late January, but I don't see my doctor until the 23rd so I'll know more then. Either way I'll be around lurking and commenting until we eventually become the bestest of friends and ditch The Bump for a mommy Facebook group. I really dislike this format.
