Re: Introductions!
Due date? no ultrasound yet, but off of O date I am going with July 4. A Patriotic due date.
Fun Fact: My oldest step daughter has an almost 2 year old son who was born 10 months after my daughter and my younger stepdaughter is currently 12 weeks pregnant....yikes lol
Symptoms - nothing major yet, mood swings and bloating, waking up in the middle of the night to pee.
I have three daughters - 21, 18, and 4 and one fur-baby - a v snuggly husky. I love running, yoga, playing the cello, knitting, reading, gardening, cooking, camping, and skiing. I’m a sommelier and my partner owns a nightclub here in Brooklyn so we also (in the before times) enjoyed going out/dancing/getting drinks.
My first appointment is scheduled for 11/30 and in addition to my sore boobs I’m tired af, taking a lot of naps
I was 5 days late so I decided to take a test. To my surprise I received a BFP. We weren’t trying but we are excited.
DD is 14months, spouse and I have been married for 3 years, know each other for 10 years. Loving being active ( hiking, biking, working out, camping etc), drinking coffee (now decaf), Love animals but currently don’t have any.
First appointment is 11/25.
I currently don’t have any symptoms but I also didn’t have any with DD.
*Live, Love, Laugh, Learn*
Tested at 10 DPO. Felt off at 8 DPO and had a feeling. Was surprised to see an obvious line on a cheapie. Tested on 2 other brands to be sure.
Married for 8 years and we have an almost 18 mo DD (tomorrow!). With COVID we are lame and mostly work/talk about work and try to entertain our DD at home. In the past we loved traveling and doing anything outdoors. This will likely be our last child.
First appointment 11/20.
Not much for symptoms yet. An occasional mild wave of nausea, mildly sore boobs, and some insomnia. Symptoms didn’t start with DD until 6 weeks and only got worse from there so I’m trying to enjoy food while I can
I've been married to my hubby for 10 years and we have 3 beautiful children. DD is 7, DS 5 and 2. We also have 2 lazy cats, Fred and Eevie, a new saint bernard puppy, Bru and a few chickens, lovingly known as the girls.
Congrats ladies!
I have 2 DS who are 8 and 5, who just so happen to be June and July babies. Apparently I only get in pregnant in October. Lol.
I tested the day I would have started my.period and was happy to see a positive, I had tested to 2 days earlier and it was negative, so I was pleasantly surprised.
Symptoms have just been sore breasts and cramping, which makes me a little nervous, I had more symptoms almost instantly with both my boys. But my first appt is Nov 11th, and hoping for a healthy baby.
Fun fact: I did BMBs for my other two and it’s amazing the friendships and connections you form. Both of them are still active 7 and 6 years later so I’m really looking forward to the connections that will be made here!
My wife and I have been married almost 10 years, we have 2 boys. First was conceived via IUI and second was rIVF. Our current pregnancy was a 5th cycle IUI, first medicated (Femara) cycle. We have 2 pups and love being outdoors.

TTC stats with donor sperm...
IUI #1 with trigger, 1/4/13 - BFN
IUI #2 with trigger, 2/1/13 BFN
IUI #3 with tigger, 2/28/12 BFP EDD 11/21/13
So, CW, unplanned pregnancy
I track my cycle alongside use of condoms to prevent pregnancy. Condom slipped, but initially I wasn't worried as I was 6 days from O. Then I ovulated 4 days early. Still wasn't too worried since: my last two pregnancies took a year each to conceive, I am currently 41, and my spouse is on a med that slows sperm motility. We even joked at the time that it would be the height of irony if I got knocked up by accident after all we did to conceive the other two. Ha, ha....anyway, the paranoia got to me so 12 dpo I cracked out the pregnancy tests from my last TTC cycle and noticed they were all expired. So,I peed on 8 of them (those cheapie strips) figuring if all 8 were negative it would subdue my anxst. Three positives in the bunch. Sent husband to pick up an FRER, big fat pink line 😮 Don't get me wrong, it was also a 😍😍 moment, but I am still in shock. At this point I am obsessively watching the pink line get darker every few days (pgal) and getting excited, but not ready to tell people. It's a lot to wrap my head around.
Two other kids, 4 and 1, both boys, delightful but so different from each other. Two cats. One husband. Been married 18 years, we had our kids late in life. I teach (Zoom is my life?) I like to walk, do yoga, cook, read, write, sing in a choir (in the before times), play board games.
No appointment yet. PCP declined doing a beta (shakes fist) but put in a referral. I need to call. Some cramping, occasional nausea, tired but that could be *waves hands vagurky at 2020* Early days yet.
Excited to get to know you all - was a July 2018 mama as well!

mom to a 4 y/o. Husband of 9 years. Crazy dog.
I am 32 and MH is 33. We have a DS who is 5.5 and a DD who just turned 4. We also have two cats and a big, goofy 8 year old black lab. I work FT in marketing, but my schedule has been severely effected due to childcare during the pandemic. MH works in retail management. I like basically any coffee based drink at Starbucks, watching trash tv like Big Brother and the Bachelorette, cooking, and I run an Etsy shop with printable invitations, posters, etc.!
I’ll call on Monday to schedule my first appointment. No real bad symptoms so far besides a little light cramping, tingly boobs, and mood swings.

My husband would love to get goats, he adores them so much. We did get chickens this year and hes looking into beekeeping in the next year or 2.
7/19
I've always had a short LP (7-9 days), so I had a suspicion once I made it to 10dpo with no AF in sight. Held out as long as I could stand then did a FRER last night @12dpo.
DH and I met in college. Been together 10 years, married for 2.5. We have a son who will be 14 months on Friday, and a dog. I'm a procurement manager for the major hotel chains. I love cooking, beaches, and any show on Bravo. I've been counting down the weeks until my Peloton is delivered (this Thursday!) but with the BFP now we'll see how long I actually stay motivated to work out.
Haven't called the ob/gyn yet. Ironically, I was just there for my annual on Wednesday and brought up my short LP concerns. It just happened to be 8dpo so I got a blood draw, and my progesterone levels came back normal. No symptoms yet. If we hadn't been TTC I wouldn't have a clue!
7/16
HPT and was absolutely shocked! We tried for 11 months for our second and didn’t think it would happen this quickly
We have a almost 6 year old and almost 2 year old and have been married for 6.5 years. I’m love to cook and crochet and we probably watch an ungodly amount of TV these days.
I haven’t picked a midwife yet but will start to reach out soon. I’m not having too many symptoms, it was my lack of symptoms that had me test.
Due date 7/18
DH and I have been married for 6 years and have a 3 year old DS and a 1 year old DD. They are wild children. I work as an accountant for a manufacturing company. We have a 5 year old golden retriever and an 8 month old golden retriever. When I'm not chasing kids or working I like to workout and read. We also have a camper so we spend a lot of time outdoors when the weather is nice.
How did you find out? We have been trying for a long time. Had basically given up. But this month I felt super off (ended up in the ER with vertigo) turns out we are pregnant!!!
Tell us about yourself. My husband and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary, been together for 10. We have 4 cats and a few chickens. I love to garden, and if I had my way I’d spend most of my days outside.
First appointment? Virtual appt today to follow up on the vertigo. Which is finally under control. Trying to schedule an in person visit for an ultrasound in three weeks. Symptoms: nausea, cramps, and vertigo. Also I’ve been crying at least three times a day.
No appointment yet. MH decided he wants me to get another positive tomorrow before I contact the doctor to get the ball rolling with them. My boobs have been a little tingly/tender and I’ve had cramps that feel unlike my normal period cramps but nothing crazy yet.
How did you find out? First month trying! Took a digital yesterday at 10 DPO. I had been symptom spotting for a few days, but it was still so shocking to see the word “pregnant.”
Tell us about yourself: I’m 32 years old and have two girls, 5 and 7. Next June will be my 10 year anniversary right before my EDD. So many emotions right now- excited, nervous, scared, paranoid.... all the things! I’m a little bit nervous because I’m around kids all the time because of my job. Hoping to stay as healthy as I can throughout Flu/Covid season.
Well, Sunday afternoon my boobs were very sore, so I took a HPT for sh*ts and giggles. I was about to toss the strip into the trash, when I was like "hold on, that's different...", I nearly fell off the toilet! It was not at all what I had expected since MH and I have been trying for 2 years next month. First thing Monday morning I called my OB office and they had me come in for HCG and Progesterone. My HCG, was 112, and Progesterone was 32. I went for a repeat HCG yesterday, and it was 470!!! Based on my LMP, the day I took the HPT I was 3and5. Which is SUPER early. I can't even believe it came up on the HPT!!
MH and I have been married 3 and a half years, TTC for 2 years. I was diagnosed with PCOS last December, and began fertility treatments in January. Had two failed IUI's, had treatment paused due to COVID and I had a colposcopy in the summer to remove polyps. We have just been taking some time for each other for a few months and we had actually planned to resume treatment with my next cycle, which should have begun around now..and miraculously have spontaneously conceived! We have two pups who are more spoiled than they will ever know. I am a nurse at a large maternity hospital in my area, and MH is a correctional officer. I love to travel, adventure, enjoy girls nights and I try to stay as active as possible. I'm also never opposed to a cuddle night on the couch.
My first ultrasound will be on 12/3, the day before MH's birthday! Unfortunately he won't be able to attend due to their covid protocols, but I am still excited nonetheless! The only symptom so far is extremely sore boobs, and very mild cramping that comes and goes. I also had some spotting, but my OB said it was okay because my levels were increasing rapidly.
