Re: Introduce Yourself Here!
I am a stay at home mom to 2 and almost 4 year old daughters, who will be super excited when they find out as they’ve been begging for a baby. My first doctor’s appointment is at 8 weeks, early August. Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!
According to LMP my EDD is March 10. I had the fluttery/bubbly feeling in my uterus that some people have mentioned as an early sign, at 8dpo. I swore I wouldn't test til AF was due but I did at 10dpo and voila!
I work in public health, and my favorite activities to do are hiking, swimming, reading, playing Candy Crush lol. I'm 30, DH is 31, and this is the first prenatal adventure for both of us. We have 2 cats, and live in the midwest/great lakes region.
Excited to get to meet everyone!
I’m a SAHM to a 2yo DS and I was on Feb ‘17 but he was actually born in March! I still talk to those wonderful ladies every day and have even met a couple of them for play dates! I have a wonderful H who is very excited! I like to read, watch tv, workout, and do crafts in my limited spare time!

(Formerly Marriedhamstermom Feb ‘17)
I’m 30 and DH is 32. I am a social worker and DH is a police officer. This is our first pregnancy. We have a beautiful pup named Lola. During my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, working out, and going to the movies. My first OB appointment is scheduled for July 26th. Can’t wait to get to know you ladies! FX for a H&H 9 months for us all!!
I'm pretty anxious, but I'll feel better when I see my OB on the 31st.
Congrats everyone!
My EDD is 3/3/20. *TW* I had a loss 3 years ago, before I had my first. I had DS in Aug 2017. We started trying again around Easter this year, and I had a CP over Memorial Day weekend. I’m currently 5 +2 and trying my best to stay positive. Having a hard time, but feeling okay so far.
Im a middle school math teacher, 6th grade. We have a dog, Oliver and our son will be 2 next month. I’m also getting into rock climbing (poor timing with the pregnancy) and DH is also a rock climber. Looking forward to getting to know all of you on this journey!

I still talk to all of the ladies from my June 2016 BMB so i look forward to meeting you guys too!
Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
I’m a kindergarten teacher and live in Philadelphia. We have 2 cats. I’m excited to get to know all of you!
My husband and I are both 35 and we have a DD who was born in April 2018. I was actually fairly lukewarm about the idea of having babies before her, but the moment she was born I turned to DH and said "I want 17 more" lol. I'm a middle school teacher in Western Washington. In my spare time I like to cook, hike, sew and eat!

Absolutely shocked and thrilled to be here!
Found out on July 2nd with the TTGP Pee Stick Party
First beta and progesterone were good, and I'll have my second draw tomorrow. If that comes back looking good then I'll schedule my first prenatal appointment with my OB
I work in economic development and DH works in oil production. In addition to DS, we have a geriatric Rhodesian Ridgeback and two cats. My hobbies include equestrian sports (although I haven't ridden in a couple years for a myriad of reasons), cooking, boating, and hiking.

Me: 35 | DH: 37
TTC: 7/2016
Low AMH, mild MFI
BFP 7/29/17
EDD: 4/5/18
BFP #2 7/2/19
EDD 3/13/20
This is my second pregnancy. I have an Aug ‘17 baby (DS) and still talk to the ladies in my BMB daily. My EDD is March 13, but I’ll likely not go the full 40 weeks.
I’ve been hanging out in TTGP for the past 6 months as we tried for a sibling.
I was part of the TTGP pee party, but I was not convinced by my cheapie test on Tuesday (10 dpo) I had a feeling I was KU, and got my definite BFP with a FRER yesterday.
My husband and I are both 33. I’m an executive producer for a local TV station, and work at 2am, so my posting time will likely be pretty random on here! My husband is a videographer/editor and we live in Louisville, KY.
Im excited to be here, but also super nervous. I have high blood pressure and was induced at 38 weeks, and my DS was unexpectedly growth restricted and spent his first week of life in the NICU, which was the worst week of my life. I’ve switched OB practices and hospitals for this pregnancy, and I’m hoping for a better birth and postpartum experience, although I may be treated as high risk this time around.
Wishing everyone a great 9 months, as we celebrate our journeys together!
Married: 10.15.16
DS BD: 8.20.17
TTC #2 1.1.19
BFP #2 7.3.19
EDD #2 3.13.20
My EDD is 3/7, I’m 4w5d today.
We transferred two frozen embryos - so dates are quite clear.
I tested from 7dpo and actually got the first v v v faint second line at 8dpo evening (after I realized on the cheapies you wait until it dries a bit!). Had three Betas with nice values and doubling so far. My progesterone was a bit low to start but I’m now doing pessaries 4x a day and injections twice.
I’m 40 and a CFO of a business segment for a large multinational company. DH is 42 and a consultant/project manager.
It’s just the two of us so far - though I do still have my old pony back at my parents house.
Our main hobby right now is renovating our house and garden. As well as riding (which I’m on a break from due to TTC), I like to play the piano, watching movies with DH and exploring all the wonderful nature around where we live.
Though my main “hobby” the last two years has been learning all I can about infertility and in particular Diminished Ovarian Reserve. I have some autoimmune issues (incl clotting) and am AMA - it has taken us more than 4 years, 7 IVF retrievals and 3 transfers to see our first ever positive. We have been told we’ll be treated as high risk. After such a journey, I’m quite cautious and anxious to see how each step goes.
I’ve been an active member of TTGP for the last 2 years, as well as the Low AMH thread on the IF board.
PS I’m British - when I say “quite anxious” read “peeing on sticks 3x a day and doing a beta every two days”.

Fav Quote: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return
I’m Randi. I *think* my due date is 3/9/20. I had a dream that I was pregnant early Saturday morning, got a vvv faint line on Sunday, first day of AF, and then had betas Monday and Wednesday (243 and 620) that are positive for pregnancy!
I was very active on the December 2013 BMB (DS1) but didn’t really get on much with DS2 (May 2016). **TW** We had a blighted ovum in March, so DH and I are praying for our rainbow. Hoping to find some support here with other mamas who have experienced loss and the anxiety of pregnancy after it. **TW**
I stay home with my boys and we live in Texas. In my free time I love hanging out with my girlfriends, photography, cooking, learning about the Enneagram, true crime podcasts and volunteering.
It’s going to be very hard to keep it a secret all weekend while we are with family!

My due date is March 12.
We did a frozen embryo transfer this cycle. I got a very strong positive at 5 days past transfer and tests getting darker every day. My first beta is tomorrow.
Im 36 and a wedding photographer in Texas. My family consists of DH, DD (4), one very large dog and 3 cats. I’m an ultra marathon runner, I love hiking, kayaking, and pushing my body to the limit.
My DD was was a 3 year process of ovulation drugs and monitoring, a failed IUI and finally she was here after our first Ivf cycle. I was active on the January 15 board but she was early and born Dec ‘14.

Low AMH, mild MFI
BFP 7/29/17
EDD: 4/5/18
BFP #2 7/2/19
EDD 3/13/20
I got my first BFP on Friday morning and I think my due date will be the first week of March. I'll know more after my first appointment on 7/16.
I have one child, a 3yo son, but this is my 3rd pregnancy. I suffered a pretty traumatic ectopic pregnancy last December that ended in emergency surgery. It was because I had an IUD 😔. We have been TTC since March, so we are excited but nervous to get through the first trimester.
We just bought our first house, so I'm keeping busy with unpacking and decorating these days. I'm a SAHM and spend the majority of my time focused on my son's cancer treatment. We found out he has Leukemia in December (ya, it was the worst few weeks of my life). He's a fighter and doing really well, but it's a long road.
Looking forward to connecting with birth month buddies and wishing you all healthy pregnancies and babies!! 🥰
EDD 3/5/20 for me, this is my 3rd pregnancy/baby and a bit of a surprise but we are so excited ! Currently a mom to 2 girls ( 4 and 19mo), first doc appointment next week 7/9. It’s been hard keeping this a secret with family around for the holiday! I work part-time at a hospital as an RN in surgery, worked through my last 2 pregnancies and unfortunately with my line of work will probably have to tell my boss I’m pregnant next week ( at only 5-6 weeks) because of safety concerns at work (xrays, fumes, etc) 😬
MH and I are both 39, and we have a 5yo DD. He didn’t want more so I got myself okay with being OAD, and then on her 5th birthday in January he said we should give her a sibling. Life is funny.
I live in NJ and I enjoy working out, crafting, and chasing my two big dogs around. I tried to hang on TTGP this go-round but was better at lurking. I am still close friends with many from my F14 BMB - we have had several national GTGs at this point 😊
looking forward to getting to know you all!
With DD I had no idea I was pregnant , but this time I just had a feeling. Surprisingly I got a BFP at around 3 weeks. I like cooking, baking & generally trying to go low waste. 😊 Looking forward to March 2020! (Though I feel baby will be here some time in February lol)
My EDD is 3/12/20 (ahhhhh); I found out because my TTGP ladies have trained me to know my body over the years, and I knew implantation happened on 7 DPO and I got the faintest line ever 8 DPO and it darkened (although see above haha). I work in Enrollment Management/Student Success at a university in Ohio. DH is 38 and has a great job in accounting but travels quite a bit; DD will be 4 in September and DS will be 2 in December (the day after Xmas lol, fun times)--and I love the ladies from his BMB. I'm an avid distance runner, a 25+ year vegan and huge animal rights activist. We have a beautiful 9 year old golden and two cats.
Cannot wait to meet you all!

Transfer #1: June 14, 2020
We live in the Chicago area and I am an elementary instructional technology coach. We bought a house the day I got my BFP, so between that and moving June has been a busy month!
This is my second pregnancy. My EDD is 10th march.
I found out about this pregnancy on Tuesday night (4 weeks) when I threw up my after dinner wine 😢 made me think to test.
I am a Childcare Educator and my partner is a diesel mechanic. We have a 4 year old son and a 5 year old husky.
BFP 02/25/2017, EDD 11/07/2017
We are really excited as we have been TTC for 2 cycles and we ready to welcome a little human into our lives. We have 1 fur baby, a cat named Parsley who is going to be in for a big surprise. We have already told 3 of our closest friends and I'm dieing to tell my family (we are telling them at 8 weeks, as I'll be visiting them then.)
EDD is 3/12/20 based on ovulation. I found out because I'm a crazy person who POAS way sooner than you can get a positive. Got a squinter on 9DPO and lines have darkened since then. Confirmed with betas of 51 on 7/2 and 134 on 7/5, which according to Betabase is a ~48 hour doubling time, so I'll take it. Viability scan/US is scheduled for 7/25 at seven weeks.
*TW* I'm still feeling very anxious, as we had four losses, three of which were back to back, before having DD in 2017. Once I get past that first scan, I'll feel better.
I'm the director of a non-profit, DH is an artist. My hobbies include art of all kinds, dance, hand lettering, baking, and DIY renovating the farmhouse we live in. DD is just barely two, and we have a black lab named Indy.
I’m happy, yet completely shocked, to join. I believe my due date is around 3/12. I’m not sure when I ovulated so I’m guesstimating. I have a five year old and 4 year old already.
We weren’t trying but I love this baby so much already so I’m hoping it sticks.
Looking forward to getting to to know everyone!
My EDD is 3/7 (I think). We've been trying since Feb but were being pretty lazy about it since our DS is a very active 2.5 yo and we've been exhausted.
I'm almost 37, and while I'm not all that worried about being on the older end, I can't help but be a tiny bit anxious about it (mostly about someone making me *feel* too old.) But I'm going back to my midwives from last time and I trust them to handle everything well.
We live in upstate New York and run a small livestock farm (pigs and sheep right now). DH is also a freelance video producer and I'm a freelance writer (because farming doesn't pay the bills).
When I'm not farming, writing, or chasing after DS I enjoy knitting, baking, hiking, and studying social justice issues.
My D16 group is still going strong and I'm looking forward to another shared baby journey.

I’m 31 and DH is 37. We’re newlyweds who just got married in April. I work in fundraising and DH works at a bookstore. We’re Canadian, and live in Toronto with our two cats.
I am due around March 12, 2020 (any due date buddies?)
I found out because my period was two days late. I decided to give in and take a test. The lines showed up before the test had even finished absorbing.
I am a middle school science teacher. I love reading thriller books, running, traveling. I have two dogs, an Australian Sheppard and a rescue. My husband works in insurance.
We have been trying since last June. I had a chemical pregnancy in September. Just hoping for all the positive thoughts. This one feels WAYYY different than the chemical, so fingers crossed the little nugget is in there growing.
My bump group from 2016 has been such a great source of support and information as our kids grew and is still active! So far this pregnancy feels very different. Crampy, sore back, instant fatigue. My first pregnancy sole early symptom was hiccups 🤣. This difference might be explained by the active child I am constantly chasing and toting around.
My husband and I were going to start trying this month but weren’t being super careful and whoops! Took a test last week, and my due due according to my LMP is March 5th! My period was late so i took a test, really not thinking it would be positive and there it was! I havent told anyone but my husband and don’t plan to until my first appt on 7/29, so it’s great to have this community for support.
I live on the East Coast in the US, work as a therapist. In my free time I like to read, binge watch shows, go to the beach, and hang out with my husband and dog!
Congratulations, everyone!
