Hi All!

H and I have been married for almost 5 years. This is baby #2 for us.  DD is 11 months old. I haven’t seen the dr yet, but EDD based on LMP is 2/8. First pregnancy, I was so anxious until I had my first appointment and saw the HB. I have felt more calm this time, but am slowly getting more anxious. 
 
Looking forward to chatting with you ladies!

Hello, I've been married for 6 years, this will be our second LO, DD is 3.  I have my first appt next week but based off my period I should be due 2/5. This pregnancy still doesn't feel quite real yet, although the RLP tells me different lol

lauriebream

Hi! I’m 31, DH and I have been married for close to 5 years, together for 10. This will be our second, DD just turned 3 last month. I actually think I’m more anxious this time around because I just know more about it all. I haven’t had an appt yet, EDD based on LMP is 2/2.

Eta: Pregnancy brain already I guess. I won’t be 31 until next month, lol.

Hi! I'm 27 and this will be our second. DS is almost 16 months - EDD is 2/8. It doesn't feel real to me either ... I took 2 tests last week and both were positive, but I won't see the doctor until 7/13.

Hi! I’m 26. My husband and I found out on our fifth wedding anniversary trip this past weekend that we’re expecting baby number 2! EDD is Feb 14th. Our little boy turned two in April.

conchispita

Hi! I just turned 35 and this will be #2, DD is 2YO, 3 in September. EDD is 2/5. I’m really excited, but know anything can happen at this point. Keeping my fingers crossed it works out!

middlemama

Hello! This will be my first baby. We’ve been trying for over a year now with 2 losses so we’re keeping our fingers crossed! My due date is currently 02/09. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

darkstar42

Hi! I'm excited to finally be here! I'm 37, and MH is about to turn 38. This will be our first. We've been trying for over a year, were diagnosed with unexplained infertility, and just had success with our fourth IUI. Had my second beta today and my numbers tripled from what they were Monday, so I'm starting to feel really optimistic. My due date is currently 2/13. I've been hanging out on TTGP for the last year, and I'm hopeful that more TTGPers will join me here!

bethica83

Hi everyone, nice to meet you all! So glad this board finally popped up.

I've been married just over 18 months now. I'm 35, DH is 38 and we are hoping we get to take this baby home. **TW** We lost our first pregnancy in March at 8 weeks so I have to say I am thrilled to be here. **END TW**

I found out a whole week ago (crazy!) and have been pretty nervous to be honest but had betas done Friday and Saturday and the doctor said they rose appropriately. I'd feel better if mine tripled like @darkstar24 but they didn't quite double though were totally within a healthy range.

Current EDD is 2/10 based on LMP ... @middlemama I am right along with you. I hope we both get our rainbows this time!

mellie423

My name is Mellie. We have 3 children and are expecting another IVF baby or two. Due date is 2/6. Our first beta was 391 @9dp5dt which is 14dpo our second was 2355 @13dp5dt. This was our 4th cycle. Big congrats to everyone! 

cmjenkies

Hey hi, friends. Cautiously introducing myself here. I’m 28, married 4 years, mom of 2 (ages 7 and 2). I lurked around in Jan ‘11 under a different screen name, then was very active in the April ‘16 BMB - I speak with a group of the my A16 mamas still daily on another platform. *TW* I was briefly a part of the Dec ‘18 board but had an early MC, so this is hopefully our take home rainbow baby *end TW*. Not sure of EDD right now because I didn’t have a cycle after my MC, but my guess is first week of Feb. I have had betas drawn 3x in the last week and everything is trending in the right direction and I will go to my OB end of June for dating US and initial appt. 

Congrats to all of you! I’m looking forward to getting to know you all better. 

PS: I was going to try to start the *read first* board organization post that the other BMBs usually do, but I’m mobile only right now and can’t seem to do that on here right now with the embedded link. If anyone wants to try to pull from Dec or Jan (modify as needed) and post that as it’s own thread.. that’s be cool   

 ETA: JK, I got on my laptop tonight and took care of it.. I hope I hyperlinked it all right 

kdrn913

Hi! DH and I are both 28! We have been married for 4 years but dating since we were 17! We have one daughter who just turned 2 in April! Me EDD would be 2/1 based on lmp, first appointment is 6/25! Can’t wait until then! 

hlthybabies2019

Hi, my husband and I have been trying for 2 years. We have had three iui cycles, with clomid, and the third one worked! I found out last Tuesday that I am pregnant, and my clinic said based on my iui date, that my due date is Feb. 4th and today I am 5wks2d.
I have never been pregnant before and after so many failed attempts, it still feels unreal that I got good news! Trying to stay positive and assume the best. One thing that has weighed on me is my clinic only wanted to do one beta test. When I tested on 15dpiui, I guess the number was so high that they said it wasn’t necessary, but every other person I know gets at least two!? Well, I decided either way there is not much I can do about. So, just trying to keep busy and make it to our first appt at 7wks June 18th.
Thank you for starting the board and congrats to all of you! Also nice to meet you all here.

mama0226

Looking forward to getting know all of you

bananster1

Hello! 
I’m 33 and just found out last week we are expecting baby #2. It still feels pretty surreal and won’t feel “real” until our first appointment. We have a DD that just turned 2 in April.

mainemama_

Hey everyone! I was hanging out in January but we found out we will be having a February baby! I'm 24 and my DH is 26. We have a 4 year old DD and our DS will be two on Friday! We live in Maine and I'm currently in nursing school (this should get interesting with three kids) and DH is a forester and we also have a potato farm. Can't wait to get to know you ladies! Our EDD is 2/4/18.

ETA: I'm actually 25, almost 26.. not sure where 24 came from!

ChloandCoco

Hi ladies,
DH and I have been married for almost 7 years, and we have a 2.5 year old daughter. We’ve been trying for a baby since April 2017, and TW*** I ended up having 4 losses last year ***END TW. Over the last year, I’ve been active on the TTGP board. 
So far my HCG is doubling nicely and my EDD is February 5th. Looking forward to chatting with all of you over the next several months!

TW inside

Hey everyone.  I’m tip toeing in here.  I’m 33, my husband is 35, and this will be our third.  My oldest son is 4.5 and has multiple severe food allergies.  My daughter is 2.5 and has a speech delay.  We struggled to conceive both of them, suffering three miscarriages before my son, and one between him and my daughter.  This pregnancy is 100% not planned and I am feeling incredibly numb about it.  I thought we were done, because I never wanted to go through another loss, and my second child was and still is insanely difficult... but, here we are.  Please don’t misunderstand my fear for ungrateful ness.  I needed progesterone with both of my successful pregnancies so I’ll be calling my OBGYN tomorrow to get this ball rolling.

my edd is 2/12

lmfs90

Hi!  STM here!  My DD will be 3 in a couple weeks and she is just so excited about having a sibling. My EDD is Feb 1, I started in the Jan 19 group but my dr gave me a later date, and I’m sure I’ll go late with this baby too.  My symptoms are 1000 times worse than any other pregnancy I’ve had before.This is my 6th pregnancy and hopefully 3rd live birth, I gave my first for adoption. Anyway, excited to be here!!

threeby23

I am 23, and married for almost 4 years (high school sweethearts). We have two children, daughter born Nov 2015 and a son born July 2017. Apparently I am very fertile because we are expecting our third suprise in Feb. But what mother nature gives with fertility, she takes with difficult pregnancies. Hyperemesis gravidarum and Symphasis Pubis Dysfunction. Very excited to be here though! EDD 2/2!

thrillsmomma

Hi everyone,

My husband and I have 1 daughter, who is 18 months as of yesterday! I'm 29 and hubby is 31. We have been trying for a few months, but I didn't closely track my last cycle so I can only guess at EDD of 1st-ish week of February. 

*TW* Loss Mentioned

I had two early miscarriages before my daughter was born and am working hard to stay positive about this one.

*End TW*

My dirst HCG 1 week ago was very low at 37. I have a Dr appointment tomorrow to go over what my last two blood draws were at. Keeping my fingers crossed and thoughts positive about the news I get!

Nice to meet everyone!

cmjenkies

@thrillsmomma my first beta with this one last Weds was only 27.. not sure what the second was, but the third (two days ago) was 440. Fingers crossed for rising numbers! 

@threeby23 I have had SPD with both of my pregnancies and rumor has it that it starts earlier and more uncomfortable each pregnancy.. which was true for my last one so I’m anticipating it this time around too. I had physical therapy for DD and it helped quite a bit. 

threeby23

Yes I've heard that too! Ugh. Thankfully, my Dr's wife happens to have the same thing, so he helped me a lot last pregnancy. I'll be doing the physical therapy right away this time!

and_peggy

Hi everyone! I’m a TTM to be which is crazy. My oldest just turned 2 last month and I have an almost 10 month old. 3 under 3, help me. TW** one previous MC. Based off LMP, my EDD is Feb 13. This was our first cycle trying.

Evergreenmist

Hi all! This is my first time posting on a board like this so apologies for the lack of knowledge around acronyms  I'm 31 & my husband is 34 .We've been trying for 2 years after I was diagnosed with PCOS. After 5 cycles being monitored at the clinic with letrozole (& progesterone), I got my very first positive test on June 1 and it's not a cliché; I'm literally in disbelief. **TW** know so many people who have lost their first so I'm extremely trepidatious. **END TW** Having said that, my HCG, estrogen, and thyroid look good so after two betas, I'm now waiting to go back for the 7W ultrasound! Crazy. Two weeks is going to be sooooo slow.

DD is Feb 8 as well (hi @ginger1228!). Fingers crossed for everyone! 

thrillsmomma

@cmjenkies

Thanks for sharing your numbers! I never had blood draws to test hcg while pregnant with my daughter so I don't have my own positive experience to compare this pregnancy to.

That seems like awesome timing for your number to be where they are - congrats and lots of crossed fingers all around.

jesslinnn

Hi everyone!

Baby #4 for me!!! EDD is Feb 11th.  DH and I have been together for 11 years and married for almost 7. Both 29yrs old, although I’ll be 30 in a week and a half. We have two boys ages 7 & 5, & a 3y/o girl. 

katieann0219

Hello everyone! 

I'm 36 and my DH is 38. This is my first pregnancy and my EDD is 2.3.18 so I'm 5w3d I'm pretty scared.  A few dear friends and it sounds like many people on this board have had fertility challenges so I was very aware of that possibility. I was shocked to see positive pregnancy test even though this is what we both truly want.   We see the doctor next week,  it has been really hard for me to balance focusing at work.  I'm also really missing having drinks with husband,  friends and family.  I hope everyone is doing well looking forward to being a part of this group, positive vibes to all! 

burnsie526

Hi! This is my first time posting on a board like this. I just turned 30 on Monday and DH is 32. We have been trying for our first for almost a year. We finally got our positive test 2 days before my birthday this past weekend!! We are over the moon excited! I’m still having a hard timing believing it’s real! EDD is 2/7/19. I had my numbers checked Monday and dr said they looked good. Had a second draw today and will get the results tomorrow. Hoping to see a nice rise! Otherwise we are anxiously awaiting our upcoming U/S appointment in a few weeks. In the mean time we’re just enjoying our little secret that we have waited so long for! 

cmjenkies

@thrillsmomma I didn’t have to have betas with my first two pregnancies either so I really didn’t know what to expect. Now, in the last 6 weeks, I’ve had my blood drawn like 10x. Fun times 

ChloandCoco

@BumpAdmin Could you sticky this, please?

coffeequeen79

cali1710

Hi! I just got my BFP yesterday and have calculated that my EDD is 2/14. I see my dr on monday to confirm. This will be our second, my daughter is 2.5yrs. My husband and I have been together since high school but only married 3 years. I live in Canada, about 45 min north of toronto. So excited to be here! Was anyone on the Jan 2016 board? Congratulations to you all! 

Erinm278

Well holy crap I guess I'm here!
I'm 32 and DH is 36, this will be baby #3 for us!  This was our first cycle after having Mirena removed and I haven't had a period yet so I'm a little worries.  I'm calling my dr today but I just turned a digi today!  EDD 2/17!

squirttheturtle

Hi all!

H and I just celebrated 2 amazing years together!  We welcomed DS last July (11m) and are excited to be expecting again.  EDD based on LMP is 2/12 but will likely go early due to RCS.

I made a lot of great friends in J17 and ecstatic to see @ginger1228 here with me!  Looking forward to getting to know this group of ladies!
