Hi! I'm Megan, mom to 2 little girls. We had a MC in Feb, but went on to try again. I got my Bfp at 10dpo. My EDD I sent 12/26/17. SO happy to be here it has you ladies!
Hi I'm Eighmey (Amy). This is my second pregnancy. As of tomorrow, I will have a 3 year old little girl, Lizzie. We just got our BFP yesterday, and I believe I am due somewhere around December 22nd. I am so excited to be adding to our family. I was part of the April 14 board, but wasn't able to participate as much I would have liked. I can't wait to be part of this group! Congrats ladies!
Got my BFP today! EDD according to last missed period is December 24 but know I ovulated 20 days in so more like December 30! Coincidentally have a doctors appt set for Thursday so going to ask for blood work when I go! This will be my second baby! I have a 19 month old daughter!
Hi! Congrats to all of you!! I live in Minneapolis with my husband and our 14 month old little boy - I was part of the February 2016 group. I only creeped in thay group so hopefully this go around I'll be a little more active I found out this weekend. I had my IUD taken out 6 weeks ago and had planned to give my body some time to regulate...which did not take too long! I am due on 12/28....excited to be a part of this journey with you all!
This will be mine and my husbands first child . I'm hoping to meet some nice mommies on here , as I had a discussion going and had some hurtful replies .
Hello hello! My name is Vanessa, I'm from Texas. EDD is 12/30/17. This will be our first non fur baby (we have 2 black Labs and 4 crazy cats). We've been trying for a little while (4 years) and have had two MCs and two failed IUIs. Needless to say I am a walking talking ball of anxiety but I am on a mission to try and stay positive (and stay HPT positive!). I'm a Disney maniac and a fantasy nerd and I'm excited to get to know you all!
Hello! I'm Christi! Texas native living in the Pittsburgh area.
I'm about 7 weeks with an EDD of Dec 6th-8th. I'll know more after my first ultrasound tomorrow. I've suffered 5 losses, all before 6 weeks so I'm cautiously hopeful this time. I'm 29 years old and Dad and I have been trying for 4 years. This will be baby #1 for us if we can carry to term.
Hey, ladies! Took me a couple minutes to get over here, but I'm so excited to be here! I'm Elizabeth, and I live in Ohio with my DH and almost 6yo son. I was on July 11 BMB but hope to participate more here, and I think that will be much easier now with so much of my TTGP family here (yay!!). EDD is 12/31 (DS' bday is 7/3; guess I'm trying to see how many holidays I can take over ) It will be so different bringing a baby home in the winter compared to the record heat we were having when DS was born. Anyway, looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Hi everyone! I'm Erin. After having 2 MC's the past year (which was extremely emotional for us) my husband and I are hoping the third time is the charm. My son will be 3 next January and this baby's EDD is 12/28/17. I hope to get to know all of you and help in anyway I can.
I hope everyone has a happy and healthy pregnancy!
Heyyyy everybody! I am beyond excited to join you! I'm Hope, I'm 27 my husband is 31 and we live in NC. We spent the last 2 years trying for our first and after 3 failed iuis and 1 successful ivf round we are finally pregnant! We did pgs testing and ended up with only 1 good embryo so we know our little poppy seed is a boy! Our due date based on calculators is 12/28!

Hello all.. My name is Karyn and I'm a pregnant with our first. I'm 36 years and will be 37 when this baby comes. I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in November 2011 then with Endometriosis in March 2012. We've been trying for about 7 years. We did clomid, femara, 2 rounds of IUI - all which failed. We turned to IVF and thankful it worked on the 1st try. We have an EDD as 12/6 (based off of IVF 5 day FET) or 12/8 based off of LMP. I am currently just over 7 weeks. We had an u/s on Friday and saw and heard the heartbeat (beating at 156) for this little one. Graduated to the OB so we have our first appointment with the nurse tomorrow and 11 week u/s and dr physical on 05/18.
Me: 37, Hubs: 41, Furbaby: Gizmo 11/2011: dx with Stage 1 Thyroid Cancer 03/2012: dx with Endometriosis
Hi everyone! I got BFP on Easter Sunday. Haven't been to the OB yet, but according to ovulation, I'll be due on or around 12/22. I have one son, born 7 months ago, so these two will be pretty close in age. I was pretty active on my last BMB, and hope to be here too!
Congratulations to all of you beautiful ladies!! I just got a BFP on Saturday!! My due date according to my LMP would be December 21. *trigger warning* I had a miscarriage in October and I'm really hoping this is my rainbow baby. I'm 35 and I have a 19 month old son. I look forward to getting to know all of you ladies!!
Hi! I'm Jaimee, 32. So excited to have found this group. EDD is Dec 19. We've been TTC for almost a year (after taking a break) hoping this one sticks! Fingers crossed! *TW* Had a MC New Year's Eve of 2015 at 8 weeks. These boards were so supportive then, I'm hoping for good times this round! *TW* Just at 6 weeks but first apt isn't for two more weeks, hard to wait that long!
my name is Natalie and I'm 29 years old. I have a 16 month old daughter who, when I was pregnant, I used to be on the Dec 15' birth month club and I figured I'd join again as it was so helpful throughout my pregnancy.
BFP was 4/20 Due date Dec 25 (another December baby!)
im so excited to be on this journey with you all!!
Hello! My name is Christine and I live in Houston. Excited to be joining this group. This will be my 3rd baby, and I have never been a part of an online birth group.
My first is also a December baby (who will be 5 this year) and my second will be 2.5 when the baby joins our family.
BFP 4/3 EDD 12/11
7 weeks today! Have not yet made an appointment with a midwife (life is busy with 2 other kids) but hoping to in the next few weeks.
Hi everyone! I sometimes lurked while pregnant with my son back in 2012 and decided to be a good citizen and post this time around. I have an almost-five year old son who was born by cs in 2012. I just had a miscarriage in February and got my BFP after one cycle. Here is a weird thing -- got the BFP 4 days after expected period on my birthday, April 23! I was thinking it wasn't going to happen because I got a clear negative the day before. Maybe God wanted to give me a birthday present! Hoping for rainbow baby this december. EDD might be 12/28 based on a web app.
Health and happy pregnancies to all of us!! Congrats everyone!
Me: 34 DH:34 BFP: April 1st (It was not a joke) My husband and I are stoked. He thought I was playing an April Fool's Joke on him. Married: January 9th 2010 We have one daughter born August 13th 2012. I'm excited to be here and go on this journey with all of you.
My first ultrasound is on Thursday. I'm excited, but nervous.

Hi ladies Very excited this thread is up. I got a positive BFP April 4 and my EDD is 12/8. I am waiting to see the doctor 4/26 just to make sure all is ok as I had a spontaneous MC Aug 2016 at 7 weeks due to hcg levels not rising. We are hoping and praying for our rainbow baby, very excited to have our ultrasound this week. Hoping to see everything great and hear babies heart beat I am 7+3 today.
@tamalahoops IVF mamas unite so excited for you - we can just sit back and smile smugly at all the "look at my ultrasound, is it a boy or a girl?" posts that will start in a few weeks!
@jljeanblanc Yes! I am so glad we found out gender because I am so impatient!

Hello! I am 38 and my husband is 45. We are a bundle of nerves right now! *TW* We have had 2 losses, one a stillbirth at 26 weeks from trisomy 16 in 2015, then a MC on New Years Eve of this year. I only had 1 period before conceiving this pregnancy and was tracking my O, which does not line up with this u/s, though a strong heartbeat was found. I am hesitant to get too engaged for fears of another loss, but so grateful for the support and community here.
We live in St. Paul, MN and have 3 fur babies, 2 cats and 1 dog. We rescued them all, so they each have their little quirks. I love all things fiber and sew, knit, spin my own yarn, and weave. Fiber keeps me sane during these unknown times.
Hello, I'm Jessica and I'm 30. My EDD is Christmas Eve by my calculations, but my first appt isn't until May 4. My DS will be 2 in June. I'm still breastfeeding and hoping to allow him to self wean but it's becoming painful! I live in Iowa and we farm many acres of corn but I'm an absolute city girl, originally from MN, and had never even been to a farm until the day my husband proposed 3 years ago. Happy to be here!
Hello all! My name is Meg and I'm from SC. I'll be 30 on Friday, and I'm pregnant after my first round of Clomid. My husband and I found out when we went to the ER April 11, 2 days before AF was due, because I was having excruciating abdominal pain for the second time in 4 days. Turned out I burst a small cyst the previous Sunday, and a much larger one that morning. Needless to say it wasn't how we thought we'd find out we were pregnant, but we are super excited! Based on charting my due date is December 19, but my first appointment isn't until May 15. I've been lurking and nervous to post, *TW* because I had a previous miscarriage at 6 weeks, but I'm hoping this will be our rainbow baby. *TW* Good luck to everyone and I hope to get to know you guys!

Hi everyone! My name is Jenni. I just got my positive pregnancy test yesterday (4/25)!
This will be my third baby, and I'm still kind of in shock about it. About a month ago, my husband and I couldn't decide definitively whether we wanted to have another or not. So we decided I'd stop taking my birth control and just "see what happens". And this is what happened. No "trying" or anything. I realize how lucky we really are to be so fertile, when others struggle for years to conceive. Even my own sister went through six failed IUIs. So I'm feeling a little guilty, scared, excited, nervous, crazy.
My EDD is December 31st. New Year's Eve! But my daughters were both about a week early, so I'm thinking Christmas!
Congrats on nursing for 18 months! I am still nursing my 22 month old. Do you plan on nursing during pregnancy and tandem feeding? I wish there were a "breastfeeding during pregnancy" thread. It's starting to get painful for me
My name is Sam. My wife and I just got our bfp a few days ago. I am pregnant with baby #4 (our last one) and due 12/29/17...which just so happens to be our anniversary!
Congratulations, everyone! My name is Traci, and I'm 30 and a FTM. I got my BFP at 13dpo on April 4 after a CP in October 2016. I'm about 7 weeks along, and I believe my EDD is December 14.
DH and I are thrilled and also cautiously optimistic. We ended up having the first scan last week, which was earlier than expected since I was concerned about some heavy spotting. Luckily baby is developing on target, and we were able to see and hear the heartbeat for the first time!
Looking forward to being a part of this community!
Hello, I'm Nese and I'm 38yo DH is 39yo, I am 8wk5d pregnant with our first miracle baby after trying off and on for 8 yrs! It is still a surreal experience for me . God is so good & faithful!
Hi ladies! I'm Carly, EDD is 12/13. I got my bfp last night, and i'm still in shock a bit this will be baby #2, our DD is 10 months old. I was wanting to wait until the end of summer to start trying again, but looks like plans have changed! I'm a little nervous about having 2 under 2 but overall excited. My first pregnancy was fairly easy so I'm hoping for the same this time around!
Hello! I'm Sara from Virginia- I'm 25 but will be 26 at my EDD, Dec 23. This is my first pregnancy and DW and I are BEYOND excited. We got married 3/12/16 and my DW came to the realization that she is MTF transgender in April of 2016 so we have been TTC since then.
I had actually completely given up on the idea of having our own LO but as soon as we gave up "trying" and keeping track the BFP happened!
I'm Rebekah from Minnesota. Due 12/27. This is my first so I'm cautiously optimistic everything will go smoothly. I'm at 5 weeks, or almost six depending on what calculator you use. Feeling pretty good so far other than mild cramping and bloat. And going to the bathroom all the time already. I'm an identical twin, and they run in my family. I had several days of implantation bleeding so I'm already worried it's twins!
Hi everyone! I'm Allison from New Jersey. I'm 30 and my DH is 34. This will be our first. We got our BFP on April 1 and our EDD is December 14. I am cautiously overjoyed, but I wanted to wait until our first OB appointment to officially post my introduction. We had our first US this past Tuesday and everything looks good so far. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 9 months!
