Hi all
I just wanted to know what everyone's experience has been like so here are a few questions
How did you react to your BFP?
What are you craving?
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby?
Do you have names picked out yet?
For me my jaw was on the floor b/c we had been having trouble but as soon as I got feeling back in my legs I was really excited!
Thai Food! Thai Food! Thai Food!
Got our first onesie yesterday from the in-laws. It has monkeys on it 
Too cute!
We've had names picked out since we started trying and told everyone so they wouldn't take them, lol.
How about you all?

Re: Just a little quiz.
How did you react to your BFP? We were very cautious. We had been on clomid so we really felt as if it were too good to be true. For the first 5-6 weeks we didn't want to let ourselves get that excited because we didn't want to be let down.
What are you craving? Nothing.
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? Two days after we told MIL & FIL that we were expecting, we received a rubber ducky in the mail with blue and pink confetti in the box. It was such a cute, small gesture!
Do you have names picked out yet? Yes. Mila Irene and Asher Thomas.
Happy Monday everyone!!!
How did you react to your BFP? Super excited! WE did IVF and I cheated and randomly POAS two days early (after I promised I wouldn't...oh well). I didn't cry, mostly b/c I think the odds of IVF working were very in our favor, so it was like "ok, great! The little baby did what it was supposed to do!"
What are you craving? Anything juicy. Lots of water, fruit, ice pops, etc
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? We promised we wouldn't buy anything until 12wks, but my close gf gave us girl and boy booties. We found out at NT Scan it's a girl, but we are waiting until 20wk to confirm, but I cannot wait to mail her back the boy booties with a note saying "surprise!" because she is having a boy in late June!
Do you have names picked out yet? Yes, but we are not sharing until birth.
How did you react to your BFP? - stunned, we had been trying for so long, it was our last cycle before starting infertility testing
What are you craving? not much, mostly raw veggies
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? my parents got us a sweet card, and DH bought a little stuffed elephant for LO's nursery
Do you have names picked out yet? nope but we have started a boy and girl name list
Surprise BFP# 5 - 9/2/16 - Due 5/13/17
How did you react to your BFP? Stunned
What are you craving? As m/s is still kicking my ass, carbs
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? Nothing yet
Do you have names picked out yet? Madeline or Amelia for a girl & Jack or Jacob for a boy
DS born via unplanned C-section at 40w6d
How did you react to your BFP? shock. DH & i were both shocked. we didn't expect to get pregnant on the first try. once the shock wore off we were elated!
What are you craving? salty foods. popcorn, chips, pretzels, etc. & chinese.
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? diapers/wipes. my mom sent us a set of receiving blankets and cloth diapers.
Do you have names picked out yet? boy- cohen taylor/ryder. still undecided on the middle name. girl- no clue.
How did you react to your BFP?
- Honestly, I expected it. Every time we've transferred embryos I've gotten pregnant. I've just had more than my fair share of miscarriages. So I was relieved it "worked" again and hopeful this one would stick.
What are you craving?
Honestly, nothing. I am forcing myself to eat because I am just nauseous all the time still. I WANT cravings!
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby?
We haven't bought anything yet. We have so much stuff from DD - when we find out the sex I am looking forward to buying decorations for the nursery and making little outfits!
Do you have names picked out yet?
Only a boy name so far: Spencer Lewis
DMoney will be a kickass big sister
How did you react to your BFP? I laughed, cried and thanked God all pretty much simultaneously. I got a very faint line at 9 DPO and knew it was too early to test but went for it anyway so I wouldn't feel guilty for having a glass of wine with dinner. (Seems like fertility friend pinpointed my O date wrong and I was a few days further along than that!) DH had been out running errands and literally got home within a minute of my seeing the line. I ran up to him in tears and asked him if I was crazy or if he saw the line too, and he confirmed that in this particular instance, I wasn't crazy.
What are you craving? Carbs (especially in the form of unhealthy breads and pizza) and lemonade. Sour lemonade, not sweetened.
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? Have not bought or been given anything yet, and I'd like to keep it that way until 2nd tri, or even until we find out the sex.
Do you have names picked out yet? We have thrown around a few names but I feel like until we find out the sex I'm not going to get very serious about name-picking.
How did you react to your BFP?
We actually only DTD on Oday and at 7dpo, I started testing with expired internet strips and got tiny little lines on them, but then quickly admitted to myself they were probably evap lines and that the strips were expired. Then tested on 11dpo and 12dpo with equate expired tests (obviously, I have a problem - please don't judge me! LOL!) and nothing. Then on 13dpo after work, I tested and got a faint BFP. I think I would have POAS until I got that BFP. I was part in shock that I was P'ingOAS because I really was preggo (and not crazy) and the other part felt relief that it finally appeared and then there was probably another part that felt like this couldn't be real.
What are you craving?
Nothing. I'm with the previous poster whose MS is still kicking our ass. However, fried pickles, pizza and fries with vinegar don't seem to have a problem going down. lol...
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby?
In-laws sent us a Penn State package. A book by Joe-Pa, "We Are Penn State", Penn State onesie and booties.
Do you have names picked out yet?
Nope, and we'll probably need some help as we'd like not-so-common names so I am sure I will be posting about this in the future.
How did you react to your BFP? I was thrilled! I had put my HPT on the back of the toilet and then sat there twiddling my thumbs, counting to 100, etc and then peeked behind me with one eye open. I was beaming for the rest of the day.
What are you craving? Totally random, but Bloody Marys. Obviously, I'm getting virgin ones, but this wanting them all the time business is out of the blue.
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? A gender neutral bedding set from Jacadi that I've wanted since we started TTC.
Do you have names picked out yet? Yes, but I'm not sharing them on TB.
How did you react to your BFP?
Shocked at and then so happy, it was our first month of trying and I just didn't think it would happen so fast!
'What are you craving?
Nothing-I still have to kind of force myself to eat because food just doesn't sound good, and if anything is at all appealing, by tomorrow it will make me cringe.
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby?Do you have names picked out yet?
We haven't bought/been given anything for the baby yet which is fine with me, sort of want to wait until we know what we are having to start doing all the shopping. We have been reading stroller reviews though. No names yet, again we are waiting to see if LO is a boy/girl before we try to come up with names.
How did you react to your BFP?
It was a strange reaction. The day I should have started, my temp did not do as it normally does and so I took a test. And it was positive. I showed it to my Hubby and we stood in the bathroom staring at each other a bit bewildered. I did a fist pump and said "Well damn". We had been told to stop trying because I had this strange rash on my calves. And we stopped trying immediately upon hearing that. But, apparently, it was too late. Added to that, it was our first month of trying after recovering from a miscarriage. Neither of us expected to get pregnant so quickly! We were both excited but didn't know what the prognosis was because of the strange rash and weird headaches I'd been having. But within the first week of knowing, everything cleared up and all is well with my body!
What are you craving?
Salad with miso dressing. One very weird one for me - vanilla milkshakes. I hate milkshakes and vanilla is my least fave of all. Totally my Hubby's fave, though! Potatoes.
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby?
Two car seats. We needed to see if car seats would fit in our current car (do not) and then wanted them with us as we started shopping for what we will buy (decided on a Ford Flex). We also bought the wall hangings for the theme we chose so that we could pick out paint colors to match. SIL gave us two blankets and a nightlite from our registry when she came down to help us paint.
Do you have names picked out yet?
No. I've started going through the name list here on TK to narrow things down - and we finally decided to buy and then bought a book last week.
How did you react to your BFP? Excited, but not really all that suprised, I suspected I was. Glad that it didn't feel like the baby that we lost a couple months prior (bad feelings about that pregnancy from the minute the plus showed up)
What are you craving? Now? Not much really. I was craving soft pretzels with nacho cheese.
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? Haven't bought anything for this baby, haven't been given anything for this baby. Don't really need much since it is my third in 5 years.
Do you have names picked out yet? Sort of.
How did you react to your BFP? I cried. Hysterically. Because we had been told we couldn't have kids naturally. Then I spent 3 days avoiding people because MH was out of town and I couldn't tell anyone until he knew.
What are you craving? Right now nothing.
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? I bought a teddy bear and a t-shirt that says "Property of Mom and Dad" (I gave that to MH to tell him we were having a baby).
Do you have names picked out yet? Lots. We haven't narrowed them down yet though.
How did you react to your BFP? We were kind of shocked... MH and I kept looking at each other and cracking up all that night.
What are you craving? Mostly cheese. But really, anything I see, hear about or read about that sounds tasty, lol.
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? Nothing yet.
Do you have names picked out yet? We have a few ideas. We may be settled on a girl's FN, but if it's a boy we're a little more up in the air.
What are you craving? Plain bagels with extra plain cream cheese, toasted from Dunkin Donuts
What is the first thing you bought/were given for this baby? MIL gave us The Very Hungry Caterpillar book and a stuffed Caterpillar.
Do you have names picked out yet? Girls name yes, boys name no
