3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments? Confirmation appointment on Monday (7/10). We'll schedule future appointments after my numbers come back. I'll keep you guys posted!
4. Questions/concerns? Oh, I just remembered I have to completely revamp my makeup routine and I'm salty about it. I was just gonna do bareminerals. Other suggestions? I was just going to go minimal (bb/cc cream, concealer, blush, and powder). Might grab a few extras depending on how I want to treat myself (highlighter, bronzer, and mascara).

Nervous AF. I took a pg test today like an idiot and am now worried about the line not getting darker even though I know that's not anything to worry about it. It hasn't even been 48 hours since the last test.
3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments?
I am waiting the results from the HCG and progesterone (betas?) bloodwork I got yesterday. I had my progesterone tested at 7dpo (Sat) and they said my level of 12.9 was in a "gray area".I'm worried it has not gone up yet.
4. Questions/concerns?
Oh I have tons, but I have plenty of time to sit here and google them all haha.

@bethennyfrankel I'll be looking for an update from you Monday!
@muggle621 I was taking HPTs every day (until today because I got the beta results yesterday) and they started to level out after getting darker after a few days. I don't think it means anything, so hopefully that puts you at ease a bit. Please let us know when you get the call about your beta!
I lurked last week's thread over the weekend and saw this came up but I just want to reiterate to anyone lurking: if you were an active member in TTGP but ghosted because you felt you hadn't been around enough to post in the grad thread, please still post here! I know there are at least 4 or 5 of you so far so don't be shy!!
1. Due date? March 14th

*not sure what DD means* But, I'm feeling great - not really having any physical symptoms yet. I'm emotionally a little on edge because there's sooooo much to consider/factor/get ready for when you're expecting. I've done this before, but the same nerves are very real each time!
3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments?
My first appointment is scheduled for July 27th.
4. Questions/concerns?
None yet, but I'm sure they will come!
I'm super happy to be sharing a BMB with you ladies!
I did get my #'s back, I feel a bit better now. My HCG is 62 and Progesterone did go up - it is 21. The doctor is pleased to see these numbers @ 3.5 wks. I have another blood test Monday so hoping to see that HCG go into the hundreds! First u/s and checkup is July 31st.
@ladybugsamom I'm glad to see even ppl who have already had kids are still nervous. Well, not glad that your nervous, I'm just glad I'm not alone in the nerves dept.
@bethennyfrankel Yes, keep us posted after your confirmation!
@heatherdubrow I can't wait to find out how many heartbeats you hear next week!

As far as I'm concerned, and I bet other grads would agree (if someone feels strongly otherwise they can speak up), you guys who ghosted TTGP did so out of respect for long time members and an understanding of the "rules" of that board, and I think that was cool of you. That said, you were contributing members and even if you questioned whether you contributed long enough to post in the grad thread, you still were a part of that community.
@bethennyfrankel so happy to see you posting!!
1. Due date? Roughey 3/8 may change after my first appointment.
2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support
Thrilled to be pregnant. But worried something might happen.
3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments?
First appointment is July 19th. It feels like an eternity away.
4. Questions/concerns?
1. Due date?
Still up in the air, but for now I'm going with March 6th (based on ovulation)
2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support
I am just super tired! And completely starting to freak out about 2 under 2. I'm thrilled to be pregnant but just nervous! Also really just wanting to get through the next few weeks. I forgot how nerve wracking early pregnancy can be.
3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments?
I had an ultrasound yesterday. My result are on the online portal but I haven't heard from the OB office yet so I'll be giving them a call tomorrow just to confirm. I have a nurses appt scheduled for August 1st but no exam until the end of August as of right now.
4. Questions/concerns?
I hope I am welcome here too! I was fortunate I didn't get to know too many of you on TTGP as when I finally decided to stop lurking is the month I got my BFP. I'm so thrilled for all of you and excited to see if any of you have multiples! @heatherdubrow and @vflux33
No idea yet!
2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support
Feeling fine, just sore boobs and tiredness. Today I smelled onions cooking in my frozen lunch and started gagging. If it's not known yet it will be soon, onions are the bane of my freaking existence. I hate them. And now it seems it's going to be escalated.
3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments?
They moved my Tuesday scan to Monday! Yay one day sooner.
4. Questions/concerns?
Nothing yet, just trying to take it day by day.

2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support
Just tentatively psyched. Freaking out occasionally, as someone mentioned above, about the relative darkness of my lines.
3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments?
Just made an appointment for 8/22. Didn't necessarily seem late to me, but y'all seem to be getting in sooner. Mostly I wanted to wait for a particular midwife. Are yours just for beta quant?
4. Questions/concerns?
let me know if you think I'm not ttgp enough for this thread!
@bethennyfrankel I'm no help in the make up department--I minimized my routine into just washing my face.
muggle621 good luck for rising betas.
@ladybugsamom I completely agree on the nerves--I think having a toddler and knowing what to expect makes me more nervous!
1. Due date?
My guesstimate varies by about a week so I'll just see what my doctor says in August.
2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support
I'm having morning sickness at night before bed and sometimes in the morning too. But mostly I'm tired and have this low grade headache I can't kick. I appreciate all the symptoms--even the nausea--because it means I'm still pregnant.
3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments?
First appointment--2 August
4. Questions/concerns?
If I don't go here, let me know. It won't hurt my feelings. I lurked forever on TTGP and then found myself in th January 2018 BMB. Then I had a miscarriage at the beginning of June that sent me to the TTCAL board which led to a month of me posting on TTGP. I'm cautiously optimistic that this one sticks.

Sadly even if there is a great FB group made after birth with zero crazies I'd still have to stay away. Facebook was not a good place for me. I deactivated a year ago and I'm so much happier now. So I hope people don't go there instead because I'll feel left out! Do the BGs erase the BMBs after a certain amount of time?
Hugs.

As for FB, I have a love/hate relationship with it. Every other day I want to deactivate it but then I come across an inspirational and uplifting page that I want updates from, so I keep it.
