Welcome ladies!

Please say hello and tell us a little about yourself. Feel free to include your estimated due date, BFP date, if you are a FTM, STM or what not and any other information about yourself that you'd like to share. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Good morning ladies! MH and I live in Northern California and if all goes well this will be our first baby. *TW* I had two MCs this spring, one at 5 weeks and the other (a MMC) at almost 12 weeks, so I'm pretty nervous here, but cautiously optimistic. */TW* I got my BFP on Sunday, and am 4 weeks today, with an EDD (according to the internet) of 4/5. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

I am a STM. Due date is April 1st, 2018. I got my vfbfp on the 18th at 10dpo. I'm currently 4w4d. Baby #1 and #2 will be 20 months apart, God willing. #twoundertwo I gave birth at home to my first with a midwife and plan to do the same with #2. ETA: I'm from MN.

Hi ladies! I'm a STM from PA. Due Date is currently putting me at 4/7/18. I just got my BFP on Wednesday (although a VVFL on Tuesday night). Our DD is currently 3ish, and will be 4 right in April as well. We have been trying for a long time with this one, and I recently had a MC in May which was devastating. Hoping for a sticky baby this time! 

I'm also still pretty close with my birth month club from my first baby, although we've migrated over to Facebook at this point.

@sandbridge1030 So sorry about your loss. I too am close with my Aug16 group that moved to FB. Looking forward to gaining new friendships here. Hang on sticky beans!

Hello everyone.  I live in Georgia.  My husband and I have been TTC for 10+ years.  I have premature ovarian failure and we just went through our 3rd cycle of IVF.  I just got the call that my beta was 1020 and hoping to see that number multiply by Monday.  Praying this baby sticks as first two rounds ended with chemical pregnancy.  My EDD would be 4/2.  Looking forward to getting to know everyone on this journey.

@sandbridge1030 @cammi1975 So sorry to see so many of us with losses here. FX for take home babies for all of us

@BumpAdmin Can we get a sticky please?

holly321

Hello ladies.  I am from Maryland.  This will be my third.  I had a miscarriage in between my two, at 14 weeks, and a possible CP, that we could never confirm.  I have a 6 year old DD and a 4.5 year old DS.   I got a bfp last night at 15 dpos.  I am due on 4/4.  

hedgepig

Yay! @holly321 So glad to see you here! Congrats!

Hey ladies! Very anxious FTM, and very proud TTGP grad here! Got my first BFP on Sunday (after 14 cycles TTC), and have had two betas since, which show a nicely doubling HCG level. I've also peed on AAAAAAAAALLLLL the sticks and have been seeing a nice progression. 

EDD is 4/5/2018 (hey @hedgepig!) which is super sweet because that was my mom's due date when she was pregnant with me! Currently 4+1 today. 

DH and I live in the Midwest and have a 10 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback who is just the coolest dog ever, and 2 cats who make us laugh on a daily basis. 

Also, I'm a big supporter of snark, science, and gifs.

I hope we can keep this BMB kind yet honest!

^WSS. 

@lund Yay due date buddies! I am so stinking glad you're here!

Hi, I'm a STM (well I guess a TTM) with 4 and 2 year old girls. We decided to try for one more and here we are with our third (and last) baby. Due date should be 4/7/18 and we're scheduled for a dating ultrasound in about 3 weeks. I got my BFP at 9dpo which is incredibly early for me (was 12 and 13dpo with my first two), but I was temp tracking and using OPKs and am pretty positive of my O date. This will be my third c-section, so we need to be pretty sure of the right EDD (hence the dating ultrasound).

I was on here with my first and my second (and during all the crazy changes and switch overs) so I'm anticipating making some mistakes in posting and some mild annoyance from me and new-world bump users both. Bear with me.

I'm also very sorry to see so many losses here. Such a scary, miserable experience. I hope we all get to take our babies home next year!

What's up, April18!  I'm somewhere on the cusp of March and April without an actual due date until my appointment, so I thought I'd hang out a bit in both groups until I'm sure of where I'm going to call home.

This LO will make 3U3 for me, and I'm actually pretty terrified.  This was a total surprise for us, having needed help from an RE to get KU before, and we weren't exactly trying yet, just a few weeks of NTNP after my first PP cycle.  No temping or charting, no OPKs, no bromelain for implantation (Yup, I did that before when TTGP.  FFFC?). I'm still kind of (majorly) amazed, and the fact that I'm not having to take progesterone right now is basically blowing my mind.  

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Hello everyone! I just got my BFP on Wednesday. According to my last period, I am due 4/9/18. I'm a STM and my DS will be about 2.5 when this baby is due. I'm very nervous as we just had a miscarriage in June at 7 weeks. I went through one cycle and we are now pregnant again and hoping more than anything that this baby sticks. I loved my October 2015 group and hope to get as close to everyone in this group. Very excited to go through this journey together. 

alweldon86

Hi Ladies, I am from New Jersey and a FTM. I got my BFP yesterday and my EDD is 4/5. I am super excited but also very nervous to get through the next few weeks. I MC in December at 7 1/2 weeks. Hopeing to bring this

sjn00

Heeeeyyyyyyy
I got my positive last Sunday and am about 3 weeks and 5 days with a EDD of April 8th (which also would be my moms bday, she passed in 1999).

I am a stay at home mom to a 3 year old girl, turn 30 in Aug, and am from California.

I'm coming from TTCAL with a mc at 9wks last Oct and another at 5wks last Christmas. Calculated EDD @ 4/7/18. Had bloodwork today, and I'll be going back in Monday. 

@nond135 EDD buddies!

@sandbridge1030 what part of PA? I'm originally from the Philly area now in Pittsburgh 

nond135

@bettyvonsomethingstein I had to take progesterone with my first but didn't for my next one and so far this pregnancy I haven't needed it (was 24 at 10dpo when tested). I'm still ultra paranoid about it though and was seriously considering starting cream at ovulation just in case (I took actual prescription supplements with my first). :P I'm glad I didn't since my levels appear normal without it, but I still wish I could pee on something to test my progesterone at home every day as easy as an hpt test...

Hi everyone, I'm a FTM and very excited to be joining this board. *TW* I've had 2 mc over the past year or so and am feeling a bit of anxiety at this early date *End TW*

My EDD is April 8th which puts me at 3w5d. I found out two days ago which is the earliest I have ever gotten a bfp. Coincidentally, I had an appointment scheduled with my OBGyn to discuss fertility options yesterday so that appointment took a different turn than I expected!! I'm trying my best to stay super hopeful and optimistic and I look forward to a great 9 months with all of you!

Hi Everyone! 
Mom to daughter born 11/3/15 and now currently expecting second child with EDD of 4/4/18 very excited to be here, and feeling very fortunate and blessed! XO

mispanda

Hi everyone!  I'm going to introduce myself here finally after having a rocky start to my betas.  I have an early April due date (4/1 per O but RE office nurse used my LMP so give or take two days).

I'm a STM and have a 2.5 year old daughter.  I've also had 2 miscarriages within the 15 cycles we've been trying for a second so I'll be nervous for a long time.  I hope this will be our rainbow baby.

hedgepig

Yay! @mispanda Glad to see you here!

FTM here with EDD of 3/31/18 but I already feel too behind to join March. Hope it is okay if I hang here instead I got my first ever BFP on 6dpt after IVF FET #1. Very excited but still very cautious given everything we have been through to get here! Looking forward to sharing this experience with you all. 

Oh hey TTGPers @lund and @hedgepig so excited to find you here  

hedgepig

@saralee797-2 We are thrilled to have you here... March is pretty overwhelming. And congrats again!

saralee797-2

@hedgepig  Thanks love! Got my third beta today at 1267 so I felt like it was safe to jump in. Great job with board organization so far!

My first was due July 31st, but he made his appearance Aug 2nd. So I vote you can stay.

Hello STM  here from North Carolina!  Mama to a 3.5 year old boy, a frenchie and a big fat cat. I was a lurker during my pregnancy with my son. OCT13 I figured this time around I'll join in on the fun!  Ready to take down on next 9 months with you ladies! EDD is 4/4 and feeling the changes already!

Hi! I'm a FTM due April 6 (based on O date). I got my first BFP last night at 14dpo, and I'm excited to be coming over here from TTGP, especially since we have so many grads on this BMB! It still doesn't feel real to me though! DH and I will be married for 3 years next week and we were trying for 6 months. He works in finance and I work, from home, for an energy company. We live in the midwest just minutes from the house DH grew up in, and I grew up in Texas where my family still lives. I can't wait to get to know all y'all over the next 9 months.

hedgepig

@justkeepswimming8 Hey girl! I can't believe this BMB just keeps getting better! So, so many congrats to you, and welcome!

Hi girls!  I'm a STM to a precious 4yo girl!  Excited and anxious to be joining the group, my due date according to my last period is April 7 but ovulation puts me at April 11 which is my daughters birthday!  Give me all the April babes! I got my bfp (although quite faint at 10dpo, still peeing on all the things)  I live in MA, work full time and have 1 kitty!  This will be my SO and my first babe and he's pretty excited to be a dad! 

Cant wait to get to know you all and go through the journey together.

Things that have made me cry so far today: (not yet 10am) 
1) My toddler listening to "Do you want to build a snowman?"
2) The calves at our neighbors farm as they stared blankly into space. 
3) My husband asking if I'd be able to go to the grocery store today. 

YES, I AM PREGNANT! The 3 positive tests didn't make it real to me, but the hyper sensitivity sure does! 

I'm a stay at home mom to a wonderful, inquisitive, outdoorsy 21 month old. Before becoming a SAHM, I worked in emergency mental health services. 

My due date is approx April 1st. I had such a great experience with my last BMB and I'm so happy to be back again! Hoping for good health for all of our little babies. 

hedgepig

Welcome @natalknitter15 ! I would definitely cry if I heard "Do You want To Built a Snowman?" right now. I was listening to Hamilton the other day and cried like 6 times.... sounds like we have the makings of a really good "Why My PG Self is Crying" thread
I like your SN BTW... are you a knitter?

looeeze

Hi all! FTM here, EDD is 4/4. *TW* I had a mc in May and definitely feel the PGAL brain is strong with this one. So although I'm sorry that there's so many of us here who've experienced loss, I'm glad we can help each other overcome the anxiety *END TW*. My first home on TB was TTGP and I have a very soft spot for it and all the ladies who came from or are still there (hi ladies!). 

I like baseball, gifs, and science. 

hedgepig

@looeeze I've been waiting for you to show up over here lady! So many welcomes and congrats!!! I look forward to you upping our gif game

holly321

Wow, what a week for TTGP!  I am so glad to see you all!  

I am not much of a crier, but the more of us who appear keeps making me tear up.

looeeze

@hedgepig  thanks! Love what you all have done with the place so far:)
