@jesuisjamie I understand being nervous. I am a wreck. This time they put me on progesterone and high dose folic acid. I'm praying for a healthy baby this time. If something happens again I'll be finished. My brain can't handle going through it a third time. I'll have to check my grammar since we have an English teacher in the group lol. It's my weak point
Speaking of progesterone, has anyone ever had migraines while taking it? I'm taking 200 mg oral capsules. TIA
@fiddleRN79 I feel your pain! It's so much to go through. I try so hard to relax and stay cool, but the "what-ifs" are never far from my mind. If it helps, I always try daily "mantras" that I program into my phone as pop-up reminders. They tend to comfort me when I see them and remind me to breathe and relax and surrender control (which is my big issue, lol). Stuff like, "today I am pregnant and I love my baby" (not mine- stole that from the PGaL boards years ago).
And don't worry about your grammar, lol! I happen to be of the "modern" mindset where I believe in the evolution of language and don't begrudge common grammatical mistakes. Heck, I often make them myself.

Ultrasound @ 7 weeks 5/25: We have a heartbeat!
Hello everyone! I am a 35 year old (36 by EDD) first time mama with an EDD of 3/3. I got my BFP on 6/25, 3 days after I missed AF. I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks in January. Needless to say I'm a bit nervous right now, but also very excited!! I've already had 2 sets of betas...546 at 4w2d and 997 at 4w4d. My doctor is happy with the numbers and has me going for just one more set on Monday. I have a 10 year old step daughter, who we are sure is going to be very excited once she find out. I am a school teacher and have the summer off, which is wonderful because I've been feeling pretty tired this week.
I got my first faint positive test Friday at 8 DPO but didn't want to post until my lines were more solid. My husband and I are early/mid 30s. We have a 4 year old who will be beyond excited when we tell her. Based on ovulation, my due date should be March 16.
I've been lurking around here for a few days and am excited to join you all!
I *hope* to be a TTM **TW** I've recently been dealing with miscarriages after successfully having children. Not really sure why, but hoping the things they thought were possibly contributing are under control. I'm sad there are so many here who have experienced this but also SO happy because well, we are currently pregnant! END TW.
A little unsure of when we are due, I have our first ultrasound in about a week and a half so I'm hoping to get a more sure date then. My babies come late, so my gut tells me either way I'm likely a March mama. We will see! Excited to chat with you all.
Hi, I'm Megan(34). I just got a BFP on Friday 6/30 and we have been trying since last October. I have an 8 year old boy and 4 year old girl. I am a hair dresser and had been planning on leaving my salon a treat the end of the month to stay a time home so this is perfect timing.
Hey everyone, I'm due about march 8th (waiting for first ultrasound to truely confirm as my cycles are irregular). This is baby #3 for my partner and I, we already have a boy and girl so are just excited for whatever this pregnancy brings us❤️ Congrats to everyone for their babies!
I'm feeling the same way @fiddleRN79, I am not sure I could handle another loss and doing it all over again. I'm nervous but trying to remember I can't do anything but what I'm doing and what will be will be.
Hi! I'm Meghan and I'm due 3/15! I got a squinted yesterday and a faint but there line today.
This is my 4th child. I have 3 boys, a rising 1st grader, a 4.5 year old and a just turned 2 yr old.
TW: I had a surprise pregnancy this past fall that ended in a missed mc at 9w, baby stopped growing at 7. Dh wanted to be done, so that was a really devastating loss. Beyond the loss itself, I thought my chance for another baby was gone. Thankfully this feb dh had a change of heart. I had a CP in may and am taking progesterone supplements. :end TW
This is our last baby. I'm almost 37 and only have 1 ovary so I feel my clock ticking. And 4 is enoug!! Im a sahm and it'll be returning to work probably within the first year for this baby. Ive breastfed all my kids, and throughout all later pregnancies. I've had 1 epi and 2 med free births. We were team green for all prior babies but with 3 boys... we are finding out this time.
Hello ladies! New to TB and a first time mom to be over here! Due March 1, 2018. Very excited to be parents and can't wait to learn more about these little miracles!
Im Tanya and I'm a 26 year old mom of a 20 month old boy. He keeps his father and me on our toes for sure. Lol. This will be my 3rd pregnancy, first was an ectopic, but 2nd viable baby! My EDD is 3/2. I'm estimated to only be 5w 3d right now! Very excited to add another baby to our family!
Hi everyone! My name is Haley and we just found out last weekend we are expecting baby #2 (we have affectionately nick named them baby williams 2.0!) Our son just turned 2 in June. EDD is March 7. Looking forward to this journey with you all!
Hi everyone! I'm Lauren, my EDD is March 11. I have a 19 month old son and have been on TB since the beginning of my pregnancy with him (I'm still in touch with my November 2015 moms.) I am looking forward to getting to know you all. My husband and I are thrilled to have another baby on the way.
Hi everyone! We got out BFP on 6/30/17 after a first real month of TTC. So sort of a surprise since it took us 1 1/2 years with our first who will be 2 in October. Estimating our due date to be around March 10 but since my cycles are longer than normal it is hard to tell. Dating ultrasound scheduled for Aug 3.
Hi everyone! I just got my BFP today (July 3), and have an estimated due date of March 10! I have a 10-month-old DD who was born in August 2016. DH and I planned to stop preventing a couple months ago and let whatever happens, happen, but start officially TTC in November. We ended up getting pregnant before I even had my first period, so it was a bit of a shock, but definitely an exciting one. *TW* I had a miscarriage prior to conceiving DD, so I may be a bit of an anxious mess until my first ultrasound. My goal, though, is to relax and enjoy this pregnancy since I didn't really get a chance to last time. *TW*
I'm also currently breastfeeding/pumping full time and plan to continue as long as I can. So any advice on that is welcome!
I've been on TB since early 2015, first in the TTGP group, and then was really active in the August 2016 BMB. Those women are some of my closest friends and I don't know what I would do without them. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you as well!
Hi from Canada! I am a long time lurker since my first pregnancy but decided to try and participate a bit more for this one. I am a STM, we have a son who will be 2 in October. Had a surprise BFP on Thursday June 29th after what I thought was a light period abruptly stopped. Expecting for March 7th, but my first came 1.5 weeks early, so who knows. I will have beta hcg level drawn tomorrow (it was holiday weekend for us, so most clinics closed today. ....happy Canada day!!). As usual I am super anxious and probably will remain this way until morphology ultrasound at 20weeks
Hi everyone! It's pretty surreal to be intro'ing on a BMB after years of lurking and over a year TTC. This will be our first baby. My husband and I were scheduled for an IUI in July for unexplained infertility. I got my BFP on Friday 6/30 (decided to test before a weekend at a lake with lots of drinking for 4th of July) and bawled my eyes out where there was a second line. I was hesitant to post here for the past few days but have been lurking. My EDD is March 13th according to FF. I've taken numerous tests since the BFP and had a much darker line today so I'm finally deciding to post. I also had a blood test done Friday and just got the results today. I wasn't temping but I estimate Friday was around 10dpo for me. My progesterone was 12.7 and my hcg 65. I am scheduled to go back in the next couple days for a redraw to make sure my levels are rising. I'm honestly an anxious mess and have been googling if those numbers are good all afternoon! We have our first ultrasound scheduled 7/28. Sorry for the novel. I'm very excited to be here and to get to know all you ladies!!

Hey everyone! I got my BFP on 6/27! My cycles are long and irregular, so I'm not exactly sure of my due date, but I'm estimating 3/9-3/10. I have a 10 month old DS and I'm so excited to add a sibling to the family in March. I'm a little intimidated to have 2 under 2, but it's what I've always wanted! I was an August 2016 mama with my DS and I can't wait to get to know everyone better! Congrats to you all!
Hi guys! I got my BFP yesterday after 5 months TTC this time. We have a daughter that will be 2 at the end of the month. It took us 10 months to conceive her and 8 months for a MC before her so this one was quick and has me a worried mess. According to a due date calculator I will be due 3/3 but I have terrible cycles so I think it will be more like 3/12. I was a part of the Aug15 group that has moved to FB so hoping to be a part of this group as well!
Hi I am a first time mom due March 2, 2018. We found out on father's day which was so sweet I couldn't have planned it better if I tried! Definitely feeling the morning sickness and fatigue beginning so I'd love to what from you mommies how to get through these rough first weeks.
Hi, my new friends! My name is Carol and I'm just so excited to have a second sweet baby.
Not sure of my EDD but it's late Feb/early March.
I have a sweet 22 month old son. I had a wonderful time on my Sept15 board and formed lifelong friendships. These women were my dear support and I am so so excited for my new lifelong friends here!
Hi all! First time mom (feels so weird to say that) here, EDD March 2nd 2018. I have PCOS and conceived after fertility treatments. It's been a tough road to get here and I'm really hoping to stay. I've had 4 betas so far and they've all been doubling nicely but I don't think I'll be able to really feel like this is real until I see the heartbeat. First ultrasound is this Thursday at 5+6, so hoping with everything I have it will look good.
@sar_bear Ehhhhh a fellow Canadian!! It's nice to see an other one on here, I know our experiences will be a little different, so it will be good to be able to discuss. Good luck with your blood tests this week!

I was on the bump a while back when I was ttc #1 but it seems like a lot of rules have changed. Can anyone link the TOU for me?
