Hi everyone ! My name is Yarleen and this is my 1st pregnancy (yay!). My DH and I had ttc for 3 months before it happened. I'm currently 5w 5d with current due date of 12/11. I had an early ultrasound thinking I was further along but just saw the gestational and yolk sac so an agonising two week wait (thought I was over that!) before my next ultrasound.
I'm 27 and live in TX and currently trying not to obsess with my worry of miscarriages. Never had one before (that I knew of) but these are so random which makes me feel uncomfortably out of control. Just eating healthy and trying to get through to April 28th for the ultrasound.
Happy to be here, and joining this group of amazing people.
Got a BFP on Apr. 5th, and am 5 weeks along today with an EDD of Dec. 16th. That said, (**TW** I had a CP/MC on my last cycle **END TW**) my dates might be a little off.
I'm 31 and married. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have one furbaby, but otherwise I'll be a FTM. I also love reading, crafts, and being outside!
Positive thoughts/vibes/prayers to you all for a happy and healthy journey here together!
I'm also a crocheter. I think it would be fun to share projects. I saw this idea farther back in the thread.
I'm 38 and from Illinois. My husband and I have been married for 3 years. This will be our second child and both were conceived with IVF. My husband is fine but unfortunately I have PCOS/blocked tube. Our first was a boy who is now 19 months old. I'm torn on what I would want this time. I think of all the boy stuff that we could reuse and save so much money. Then I think about a girl and how much fun that would be. I guess we will see!
I hope everyone has wonderful pregnancies and that all of your pregnancy symptoms don't drive you crazy...lol.
I too am a first time mom but this is my second pregnancy. (I had a miscarriage back in October 2016 at 8 weeks) I am pretty nervous about losing this baby as well, but I am trying to relax and remain hopeful. That said, I am SO excited to be pregnant! My EDD is December 13th, but I think that might be adjusted a bit once I have more appointments because my cycle is longer and slightly irregular. I typically ovulate around day 20. I got a very faint positive on April 11th and then I got my confirmation BFP yesterday on April 14th.
I am so exited for this next stage of life and to be able to share it and have the support from all of you!
Hi! I still can't believe I get to write this but here it goes!
I'm Caitlyn. I'm 27 and DH is 28. Last year we were diagnosed with infertility. Testing revealed I have blocked tubes so our only option was IVF. We did one cycle in December (**TW** which was successful but ended in a m/c at 5w6d **TW**).
Our second cycle was in March and we got a BFP again! Our betas were much higher this time so I'm feeling good about this pregnancy. My EDD is 12/16! We have our first ultrasound on Thursday at 5 weeks 5 days!!!
I'm so excited to see some familiar faces and look forward to getting to know the rest of you! Happy and healthy 9 months to you all!
Me: 28 DH: 28
TTC #1 since Nov. 2015 Dx: Both tubes blocked, PCOS, DOR, RPL IVF Cycle #1 Dec. 2016 - 11R·11M·5F - Transferred 2 - BFP - Miscarriage - 0 Embryos Left
IVF Cycle #2 March 2017 - 5R·4M·3F - Transferred 1 - BFP - Miscarriage - 0 Embryos Left
I'm due with #4 dec. 18th. I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks last December after baby died for unknown reasons at 9 weeks. So I'm very apprehensive as many of you understand. My other kiddos are 4, 3 and 17 months. I love having them close together. This will be our largest gap at 25.5 months.
We have been in Texas the last several years, but are moving to Prague, Czech Republic in a few days. So I have a lot of researching to do as far as labor and delivery goes. Apparently you go to a doctor of your choosing for the first trimester and register at the hospital you'd like to give birth at when you're 13 weeks. Then you go straight to the hospital for checkups the last trimester.
Anyway, I look forward to following all of you the next few months!! Best to you all!
Hi! I'm Tara, estimated due date is 12/11. I got my BFP yesterday after telling myself I was late because I started taking new meds this cycle (Lexapro). It has been a long 13 months of trying - Mirena was removed last March and DH conceived in July but I had an ectopic pregnancy and emergency surgery in August at 7 weeks. I have a 6 year old who will turn 7 December 28, and I am really hoping she gets a little brother or sister for her birthday. Her stepdad and I are cautiously optimistic.
Hello I'm Cristina from Venezuela and 7 weeks pregnant. My husband and I have a 7 year old boy and even this pregnancy was totally unexpected we are really happy about it. I have my first appointment in 2 days and really nervous
Hi ladies!!!! I'm finally posting my hello!! I've been lurking for a week or so, and keep finding myself coming back all the time, so I figured I better say hello!!! I love that this is here for us, because for me it's very valuable to have all you ladies that are on the same time table with me! I appreciate all of you, and look forward to learning a lot!!
I am getting ready to turn 30, and scared to death about this! This is my first pregnancy! DH and I had been trying for 11 months! I had my 12 month appointment scheduled to meet with the doctor to start looking into things and SURPRISE! Being my first pregnancy everything, all the feelings, are very new and it's so good to see that I'm not alone.
I'm very bad with all the abbreviations here, but am learning!! BFP was the start of April, and EDD is 12/7. I go for my first appointment in a week and a half, and am pretty anxious!
Hi everyone! My name is Leigha. I am 26 years old and a mom to a spunky and sweet 21 month old girl. I got my BFP on the 10th (5 days before expected period) and my EDD is Dec. 23rd! I had a miscarriage last June and DH and I have been trying for number two ever since. I am a NICU nurse (I work 1 shift a week) and I also sell LipSense so I am able to stay home with my toddler for most of the week. I am looking forward to getting to know you all! My last bump crew from my 2015 baby are all still really close!
Hi, I'm Alena! I just tested this morning 4 days before expecting AF, but had a clear positive. Based on my LMP my EDD would be December 26. I have a 22 month old as well. I'm a bit nervous since I had severe all day sickness the last time around starting at 6 weeks until 30 weeks. Hoping this time will be different!
Hi everyone! I just got my BFP this morning (4/17) and due date would be December 21. I have a 15 month old daughter as well. I was active on the D15 board so I am really excited for a D17 board/baby as well!
Hey guys!! So glad to finally be here. Got my BFP yesterday, with an EDD of December 18th.
I'm Amanda, 30, from Ohio, I've been married for almost 3 years. This is our 2nd pregnancy and our last child. I have a son, Everett who will be 2 on April 28th and a stepson, Brennan who just turned 4.
I have the best mom group friends from before and can't wait to get to know all of you!
Hi Everyone! We are expecting baby #3 December 24th!! My BFP date was 4/11. We lost our second baby at 14 weeks, she had Trisomy 21. I then had a chemical pregnancy in January. I am so anxious right now as I just want this baby to stick! Our son will be almost 4 when this baby comes along. Good luck to all!!
Finally got my profile unlocked after taking a few years off since my first DD (Nov 2013 baby) - and finding my way here again. EDD 12/20 after having a successful frozen transfer during my first cycle of IVF ever. My first DD was naturally conceived after 3 months of TTC, but we faced 2ndary infertility this time around and we determined it was male factor infertility. If anyone makes a spinoff FB group - please let me know as that happened with my Nov 2013 moms and I am much better at keeping up with FB!
I have been lurking for a while hoping I would get to join you. DH and I have unexplained IF and did IUI. This is my 3rd pregnancy (TW, one loss, and rainbow twins). I've had +HPT all weekend but confirmed with a BETA today. EDD 12/25

Hi All! TB is finally letting me post! ACK! I have been reading all your intros, and I found a few people I really connect with, but it is impossible to go back through all the responses
I am 30, DH is 32. We live in SE PA, have been married nearly 8 years, and TTC since the beginning of 2013. 2014 we were dx with severe MFI. Late 2015 > mid 2016 we started IVF and had two failed cycles (12 and 15 eggs fert, but we'd get 1 or 2 to xfer from the batches), and were advised that his swimmers were not genetically OK and we should go with a donor if we wanted to conceive.
We called off IVF and researched every adoption "type" out there. Embryo, private, foster, foreign... feeling out where we were comfortable, learning about each other... and we came back to donor sperm, in the end - very contrary to what we thought we would be doing, to be honest!
Our first donor IUI cycle (natural) failed, but this one (Clomid + trigger)... so far it's worked! I got my BFP a week ago at 12 dpiui (aka DPO); my beta at 15 dpiui was 199, and my beta today at 18 dpiui was 674!
My EDD according to Google is 12/21. After having completely lost hope, I am really struggling to enjoy this and not be stressed that I will lose the pregnancy. I will do my best to not be a debbie-downer, I promise!
We haven't told anyone, and most likely will not - even though we are both very close to our families - until 12 weeks (see above paragraph )
