June 2021 Waiting Room

DoubleUp8

Hello all and congratulations! I wanted to set this up so we could start to connect and get to know one another before the June 2021 message board opens. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 9 months!

DoubleUp8

I got my BFP over the weekend. EDD is 6/2 based on my date of O. I look forward to getting to know people!

inthewoods23

@DoubleUp8 hey girl hey! I should probably wait to post until tomorrow to make sure my tests this morning weren't a fluke, but considering I've never seen a BFP with my own eyes not caused by a trigger shot, I'm fairly confident they were real.

Not entirely sure when O was, but based on LMP, EDD is 6/3!

Pretty bittersweet moment after just over 3 years of TTC including 3 IUIs, IVF to collect 5 normal embryos, and a FET that all failed. I was waiting for AF after this cycle to call and schedule another FET.

DoubleUp8

@inthewoods23 OMG!!!! I am so excited for you! 

like this excited: 

 I hope you have a confirmed BFP tomorrow. My 9 dpo was one of those not even a squinter, but I think there is something there. Then 10 dpo I got my squinter. I hope we are both holding our healthy happy babies come June!

Hi y'all! Im so excited to see this waiting room open! 

I was an active participant in my last BMB and really enjoyed it.  EDD based on ovulation date is 6/1 pretty confident in that from bbt tracking.   H&H 9 months!! Happy dances all around!

*Lurking from May 2021* OMG OMG @DoubleUp8 and @inthewoods23 so happy for you both!!

DoubleUp8

@inthewoods23 and @sgrn18 do you think we post a few questions (not a full intro as we will have on the BMB) to help people get to know each other here in the waiting room? Each other currently being the three of us? Like:

Welcome to the June 2021 Waiting Room! 

Due date?

Any symptoms?

High risk / concerns?

Edit: I will add, I am type A and like structure, so I thought this could be a fun way to get the waiting room conversations going.

inthewoods23

@DoubleUp8 sounds like you'll be the one taking up the sticky threads when the BMB opens I'm cool with a little structure for the time being.

BMBs typically open up at the end or very beginning of the month right?

sgrn18

Ahh sorry I’m replying all late lol bump app is being a butt.   I’m down for some structure lol

i have an appt Monday for HCG and progesterone checks.  I needed progesterone supplementation with my first so I’ll be interested to see if I need it again.  

DoubleUp8

@inthewoods23 Waiting is hard! Planning helps me feel I have control over something that is mostly beyond my control. I think they open on the last day of the month or the first day.

I would never presume to do the sticky posts. Though while in limbo, I have been lurking on May 2021 to check it out. There are waaaaay more dailys than my BMB had in 2014. It's overwhelming! They are all great ideas, but 32 new threads a week wow! I do like their weeks idea instead of ticker change, especially since the Bump doesn't do their own tickers anymore. I remember some ticker change days being really light and lonely and others being very busy. 

@sgrn18 I feel like all I hear about the Bump apps is bad stuff. I have the app, but I usually do the community posting in the browser on my phone rather than in the app. 

How is this for questions:

Due date?

Any symptoms?

High risk / concerns?

First Appointment?

DoubleUp8

Due date? 6/2

Any symptoms? bloating, sore breasts (so sore!), peeing all the time, weird dreams

High risk/concerns? AMA

First Appointment? Oct. 19

sgrn18

Due date?  6/1

Any symptoms? Bloat so much bloat, sore breasts, and random mild cramping.

High risk / concerns? I have a bicornuate with a previous c section.  I will likely have another c section because of this combo. 

First Appointment? Oct 20th!!!

wendy838

Hi all, I downloaded the Bump app back in March when I discovered I was pregnant but had a missed MC in May. Took a test this weekend and found a faint positive! Excited to be on this journey with the rest of you. 

Due date? 6/6

Any symptoms? Bloating, slightly sore boobs, fatigue 

High risk / concerns? History of MC 

First Appointment? Have not made one yet

mamadeeoh

Hi all. New here. Bfp this morning. Due date 6/06 based on lmp.

Freaking out!

Maggie1202

Hi! I got my first BFP this morning and I am FREAKING OUT! DH and I have been trying on and off for 5 years and I never thought this would happen for us. No medical intervention but we had fertility testing a couple of years ago (blood/semen testing) and numbers were all normal. We started trying again in earnest this month and it seems to have been successful. I have lost 80 pounds in the last 2 and a half years so I think that helped make my uterus more baby friendly!

Due date? 6/7

Any symptoms? Slightly sore boobs, odd BMs (constipated, then very not constipated), heartburn (never had that before... it sucks!)

High risk / concerns? Nothing that I'm aware of at this point

First Appointment? Have not made one yet

inthewoods23

Happy to see more ladies joining in!

Due date? Based on LMP it's 6/2 but I O around CD17-19 so it's more likely 6/5 or something

Any symptoms? Had cramping a few days into my first BFP but that's mostly gone, occasional nausea that isn't bad, otherwise nothing else really out of the ordinary besides actually wanted to go to bed before 10pm a few times 

High risk / concerns? I have the irrational fear of losing this pregnancy because I had to go on a GF and DF diet and I've been slipping a few times in the last 2 months. Apparently it didn't matter though, cuz it implanted! Oh, and I got the measles vaccine right around the time I ovulated so hopefully that has no effect.

First Appointment? 10/12 with the RE who is gracious enough to see me even though we conceived naturally.

Maggie1202

@inthewoods23 I was a hardcore lurker in TTGP and I am VERY excited to see you here!

inthewoods23

@Maggie1202 this has been a VERY welcome surprise 😄 my sister is due with her 2nd in late April so things are going to get very interesting in our family next year!

mamakate2011

Hi all, and congratulations to everyone!! I have 3 little boys and I was especially active on the Bump BMB with my first baby (November 2011). My hubby and I have been NTNP for 3+ years ever since my last baby was born, so I honestly didn’t think this would happen! I also just turned 41 last month, so another reason why I thought it wouldn’t happen!

Due date: 6/8 based on O day

symptoms? Not much other than some pinkish spotting a few days ago and when AF didn’t come, I started to suspect. This morning I felt like I had a rapid heart rate which I got with my other pregnancies, so I decided to go ahead and test. BFP showed up really quick! I was shaking and shocked. Other than that I just have light PMS type cramps.

High risk/concerns - AMA, so automatically worried about a miscarriage because I had two between my first two kids

first appt - scheduled for 10/26!

Keyloscj

Hello everyone, congratulations to all of you.  I am a returning bumper. My kids are 9 &7 and I just turned 40 a few weeks ago so I really didn't expect to be joining you.  Also I had an iud  for six years that fell out in aug (tmi I know). However I am very happy to be here.    The only symptom I have is tender brests. High risk concerns  are GD which I had with my son 7 years ago.   My edd should be 6/2 based on lmp, to to find a Dr  
Nice to meet you all.

lizalovespasha

Greetings! I did GIFT on Sep. 17th. Got a negative test 1 week later, BFP (slight) yesterday, 9/28. EDD = June 10th 2021. Happy! If I carry to term, this will be my first birth.

DoubleUp8

I was hoping the BMB would be up today. 

Maggie1202

@DoubleUp8 me too! I'm so ready to get in there!

sgrn18

@DoubleUp8 same!! Ready to get the ball rolling! Guess it’s the 1st of the month for new boards lol 

btate01

Hi all!  I’m beyond excited to be joining you all.  We’ve been TTC baby #2 for about two years now and I just finally got my positive. 

Due date? 6/1

Any symptoms? Tender nips, lower backache, extreme fatigue, increased sex drive (like all I care about is sex and sleep hahaha)

High risk / concerns? I had elevated blood pressure in my first pregnancy so I’m hoping to keep that under control this time around 

Dr Appointment? 10/21

Maggie1202

Open Open Open!!!!!

DoubleUp8

seriously?!? It's October 1. Come on Bump.

sgrn18

Got my betas back finally. 1st was 2093 2nd was 48 hrs later at 4582!  So far so good!  But for real Bump where is our board??

inthewoods23

@BumpAdmin can we get the June board opened???

DoubleUp8

@sgrn18 Great news!

I feel like we are getting penalized because September only has 30 days. 

Maggie1202

#OpenJune2021!

inthewoods23

@Maggie1202 every time I read your comments I keep thinking you mean it's actually open  Dammit lol

Maggie1202

@inthewoods23 LOL!!! I’m so sorry!! I don’t mean to trick you! 

inthewoods23

@Maggie1202 I'm just so darn excited for it to open! 😆

thebabyA

I called to make my first appt the other day. They aren't seeing me till November 17. Anyone else dr office not seeing them till 12 weeks? 

DoubleUp8

@thebabyA with my first, I don't think my practice saw me until 12 weeks. They did an ultrasound and an appointment back to back. I'm in a different city now, so I'm with a new practice that sees you at 8-10 weeks. Not sure if they do an ultrasound at 8 weeks, but if I recall that's too early to hear the heart beat on doppler, so not sure what you do at an 8 week appointment if there's no ultrasound. 

chichiphin

**lurker** @thebabyA unless your practice can get you in within 2 weeks for a NT scan ultrasound from your 12 week intake, I'd push back on that. Maybe call and ask if you'll get scheduled before 14 weeks for your NT scan/ultrasound - which is not the same as an ultrasound performed in an OB's office. 

edit to add - a lot of OB offices have internal U/S machines and you can see things pretty early on - earlier than 8 weeks for sure. 

DoubleUp8

@BumpAdmin Could we please get the June 2021 board opened???

Maggie1202

Ugh this is so sad! I am ready to get this party started!!! ( @inthewoods23 don't be fooled, this doesn't mean the board is open )
