BFP September 2022 - Due June 2023!
Re: Introduce Yourself Here! Welcome to June 2023!
Due date?
I had actually been trying for 14 months and was going to ask my RE for letrozole next cycle. I felt completely defeated and down in the dumps this month and I wasn't even going to take a test, but I got a yeast infection at 5 dpo and and I never get a yeast infection unless I'm pregnant. I figured it was a fluke, and got some monistat which did nothing for me.. the morning of 10dpo I was like what if??? So I took a test and it was a strong positive! Whenever I get pregnant the hormones make me feel like I have a yeast infection but treatment doesn't help and it goes away on its own but I was in denial lol
I don't currently work, I love the SAHM life.
We live in beautiful Colorado and love being outside exploring.
I am feeling all the early symptoms. Nausea and food aversions are hitting full force, some mild cramping, my hair is falling out like it always does when I'm freshly pregnant, crying a ton about nothing, I'm also really really thirsty all the time and my mouth feels dry and gross.
I get my second beta done today so emotionally I'm really nervous and anxious that the number won't have doubled.
Introduce yourself: Hi!!!! I am 35 year old. My DH and I have a 6 year old DS. **TW** We have suffered two MMCs, one being pretty recent so I am introducing myself cautiously. I have been active on and off on the bump since 2015.
Due date? According to LMP, June 10th but my cycles have been all messed up since my last MMC and my test line was SUPER dark yesterday which would have only been 3w1d so I don't know honestly.
How did you find out? Took a test yesterday and there it was!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): One son, he turned six this past summer and just started Kindergarten. My DH and I have been together for 16 years. Life is good!
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I am trying not to get too emotionally attached just yet given our history, but I am excited and hopeful.

I am still really active and involved with my last BMB so I hope we get a beautiful close knit group going here too! It makes pregnancy so much better!
Due date?
June 4th
How did you find out?
My husband and I have been trying. Suddenly, I had all the symptoms and turns out the pregnancy test was positive!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):
My husband and I have no kiddos yet. But we do have fur babies. One dog, one cat, & 14 chickens! We are very outdoorsy. I have had multiple miscarriages so although I am so excited to be in this group I am also being very cautious. Fingers crossed for us!
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
I cry at every emotional scene on the TV no matter if its happy or sad. Breasts are swollen and very tender! Slight on and off nausea.
I know what you mean! My son has been watching Luca lately and I'm sobbing over every other scene haha!
Hi, I’m Kelsey! Just got married a year ago, we’ve been trying for about 9 months.
Due date?
June 1st
How did you find out?
I found out on my birthday! I tested, but tested too early, so it was a surprise when I missed my period and got a positive test.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):
First baby! Cat named Jojo. 4th grade teacher.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
Pretty good. Super sore breasts, already gaining weight (what!?!) Anyone else’s test turns positive within 2 seconds? Thinking it might be twins- they run in my family. Thoughts!?
Due date? June 3rd, 2023
How did you find out?
I'm 42 and this is my second cycle of IVF and first pregnancy. The first single egg transfer was unsuccessful but after being tested for thrombophilia before the second cycle, I was prescribed Lovenox along with Pergoveris and we got a positive blood test result on the 21st of this month after a double egg transfer.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
I don't know if this is strange or not but I don't really feel any different than I normally do. I'm always reading things about signs and symptoms but I literally don't notice anything other than my usual PSM symptoms. (How annoying is it that every pregnancy symptom is basically the same as PMS btw!) My HCG levels are a cause of some concern though, as they're not rising as fast as the doctor would like but I've done another blood test today to see what the current level is.
At the moment, I'm optimistic but also realistic. My age and the difficulty we've had in conceiving is keeping me grounded - and from getting too excited. I'm hoping that the blood results that come back today will put my mind at east a little bit!
I wish you all the best!
Due date?
June 7th
How did you find out?
I tested at 9dpo and got a clear positive on frer. My husband and I had just started trying this past month, and I was shocked to see that positive test! With my daughter it took 4 months which I know is still very fast, but I wasn’t expecting it to happen right away.

Excited! Also anxious, nauseous, and I can’t sleep, but still very excited
Hello! My name is Megan and I just found out I was pregnant on my birthday as well!
Due date? June 4th!
How did you find out? We’ve been trying and I started testing early and slowly saw the line getting stronger.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):
We have 3 other kids but only one is my biological, both work with the public and love to be outside and enjoying family and friends company.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I have sore boobs but the major symptom is anxiety, I am struggling hard with this one. I’ve had some friends experience some pretty rough miscarriages lately and struggling with it and being pregnant..
My birthday is May 31st so there's a good chance I could have a birthday buddy and I just keep thinking about how nice that would be!
@insomniabb96 I get the adrenaline rush from being so excited and nervous about new pregnancy and can't sleep well for a few weeks. It's nice to have so much energy for now though, once the fatigue hits I will be rethinking it lol
@frappuccino a double transfer is so exciting, but I'm sorry your betas have been giving you a little bit of concern lately, I hope the newest bloodwork shows the number where your Dr wants it, I have all my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
Due date? June 4th
How did you find out? My boobs were sore and I noticed my heart rate was progressively getting higher than what is normal for me. I was feeling more tired and noticed some super smell powers. My husband and I got married Sept 4, and I track my cycles using NFP. We weren’t actively trying to or trying not to conceive, but the dates we had sex offered a 0.5% chance of conception. My birthday is 9/25 and we were going out to dinner on the 24th to a place that has THE BEST cocktails, so I figured with the symptoms I should at least test and I was fully expecting a negative. I was FLABBERGASTED when that test had undeniably positive lines on it. I ran into the room where my husband was still sleep and said “I’m pregnant…. Wtf?” Then started laughing with joy.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I’m a newly minted Registered Nurse (passed the NCLEX 9/21) and I just started working in labor and delivery a week before I found out I was pregnant. The irony is not lost on me 😂. I enjoy walking, hiking, crocheting, and
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Excited, still somewhat unbelieving, mild cramps, breast soreness, super sniffer, fatigue, low backache, wacko dreams, and sleep disruptions. Fortunately no mood swings or nausea quite yet!
We told them at 25 weeks last pregnancy and by then we lived across the country and I muted her on text and messenger and protected my sanity. She would be dialed up to a freaking 100 with stupid remarks if we told her at 7 weeks and had to spend a week+ in her house with her bossing me around and nagging me. 🙅🏻♀️
I do absolutely love the idea of a Halloween costume though, show us if you do it!!
@knottie1121add4ff5c13ee That is such a personal decision and no matter what you choose it's not wrong. I don't plan on telling anyone until Christmas. We have had a few losses in the past and I just don't want people to feel sorry for me if something happens again. I told my husband, obviously. My best friend knew immediately the last two times but I am not even telling her for for a bit this time. Maybe if I make it past the 6/7 week mark (where my losses usually occurred) I will.

How did you find out?
Hubby and I have been trying for a couple months without luck. Randomly took a test Monday morning because my breasts hurt and got a positive
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):
2 bio kids ages 16 and 12, 2 bonus kiddos she's 21 and 14. My hubby and I both work for his mother's company, him in an executive position and me in customer service/marketing/whatever they need lol. This is our first together and yes we might be crazy with our ages (he's 43 and I'm almost 37) but we are SO excited. We also have 2 dogs, a cat, some praying mantises and some fish. We are pretty active so I am looking forward to slowing down a bit while I grow this baby.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
Tender breasts, a little nauseous, a little emotional but nothing major.
I am 26 pregnant with my first baby!
Due date?
Estimated due day is 6/1/23 my first appointment isn’t until the 27th of October.
How did you find out?
We had been trying and I started testing. First faint positive was 12dpo and lines got darker and missed my period.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):
I am married we just celebrated 1 year of marriage in August but have been together 7 years. We have 1 cat and 1 dog. We just bought our first house in April. We enjoy hunting and fishing. I love being outside! My husband is a carpenter and I am in intellectual disability specialist!
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
I have been having a lot of nausea, sore boobs, and very tired! The shock and is this real life feeling have wore off now I’m feeling anxious waiting for my first appointment. But excited to start telling family as we progress!
How did you find out? My husband and I have been trying for 11 months with (**TW**) one loss in June. August was our first month being able to try since our loss. I thought there was no way it would work our first go around. When I saw the test, I was hyperventilating, sweating, crying, laughing - completely hysterical.
previous loss. I got my hcg tested at 4.5 weeks and it was 900 which is reassuring. I go in again tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a nice jump!
Tell us about yourself: I am a stay at home mom with my son who will be 2 in November. My husband and I have been married 8 years.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I’m not feeling many symptoms yet which is also adding to my
anxiety. I remember experiencing symptoms with my son immediately so I’m not used to having to wait for symptoms to hit.
I hope your beta tomorrow goes super well and it's a great number!
My last beta was good! It was 108 on 11dpo and 582 on 15 dpo and my doubling time was 39 hours. The Dr wanted to see it at 300 by 15dpo or doubling by 72 hours so I was really happy it was so high and I had no anxiety 🙌🏻
I hope you get some symptoms soon to put your mind at ease 🙌🏻 the anxiety is unreal.
Due date?
June 1st
How did you find out?
I took a test two days before my beta because the anxiety of not knowing if the transfer had implanted was killing me LOL! Then, after seeing the positive test, I had my beta hcg test on that Friday where it was confirmed.

Your numbers are absolutely beautiful, it must be such a relief to have them so high and healthy, I am keeping all my fingers crossed that you'll get your thb 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Due date: June 8th
This pregnancy is very different in that it was a complete surprise. My partner and I had actually made the decision to separate about 5 months ago but have continued to live together while I work towards buying my own home. It has been really amicable... and one afternoon of 'hanging out' coupled with a slight miscalculation of my cycle/fertile window.... here we are. I'm still a bit in shock and honestly just really overwhelmed. I'm focused on staying positive and grounded and just taking it day by day.
I'll be honest - my life for the last 4 years has been completely child-focused and I've yet to rediscover myself as an individual in this new season of life. I'm currently doing a lot of self- reflection/therapeutic work. I love reading, art, cooking and super cheesy reality tv.
I look forward to getting to know everyone
Introduce yourself: Hi, everyone! First and foremost—I am feeling a SLEW of emotions, like most of us here. I am so happy to meet everyone! My name is Elle—and I am so happy to be here!
Due date? June 8th (according to Flo)
How did you find out? My husband and I recently lost our daughter in June of this year. We haven’t been trying to conceive, but we also haven’t been trying to NOT conceive either. LOL. My son woke up this past Thursday and said that he had a dream that he wished for a baby brother OR sister (he recently came to terms about the loss of his sibling over the summer), and the hairs raised up on the back of my neck—something told me to run to the closest pharmacy and grab as many tests as I could. :) After taking 10 pregnancy tests in disbelief, we confirmed that we are pregnant—hoping it sticks and hoping for a healthy full-term pregnancy. ❤️
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):
I will be turning 34 in a few short months and I currently work in the rare disease field as a patient advocate and fundraiser for patient programs. ❤️ Newly married, but my husband and I have been together for a total of 12 years—we have a son who was born early at 30 weeks and is now a THRIVING and adventurous 5-year-old. We live in the DC-metro region with our three rescue dogs. Outside of spending time with my family, I enjoy competing in pageantry and mentoring youth in my community.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Still in a feeling of disbelief due to our recent pregnancy loss. I’m all honesty, we are excited but are being hyper-vigilant as we want to do things 100% “right” (which there is never a right or wrong way to do things) to have the best outcome for this pregnancy. The only symptoms I have currently are insatiable thirst (same with my son) and frequent headache.
I can’t wait to meet everyone and go through this experience with you all!

We are flying out of town the day after my appointment so I'm trying to stay busy with that to distract myself 😆
We have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow as I have been experiencing some severe cramping. It’s crazy early, so we are not sure what to expect (4w5d tomorrow), but fingers crossed for good news (or as much as they can give us LOL)!
It's so weird how some practices don't do early ultrasounds at all and then some are like, this is your 5th pregnancy with one living baby so you should get several early ultrasounds. It feels really nice to know you're being monitored and cared about.
@birthingabustillo I know what you mean, I hope so much that the cramping is just implantation and the ultrasound is reassuring, I don't know anything about ultrasounds that early but I hope it's possible for them to see something 🤞🏻 let us know how it goes and I'm sending good thoughts your way!
