I'm wondering how many are out there lurking but hesitating to jump in and intro. Intro here if you've been nervous to start your own thread! We'd love to have you be active on the board, and I swear we don't bite
I'm a lurker because I'm not sure if I belong here or F15. I'm not sure of my due date yet because my cycle was crazy from nursing. I find out on 7/21. I always wanted a March baby because my bday is in march and my anniversary.
I am 22 years old, and I have a two year old. Met my husband while living in japan at 17, he was a young marine. Fell in love and moved to Hawaii where we conceived our son, who is now two and full of hell. Started trying two months ago for a second and got lucky and got my bfp the second month!
*waves awkwardly* Still lurking, as I am waiting for a BFP. Took another test today, and it was a BFN. I am unsure of exact date of last period as my cycle is still getting back to normal from having the IUD removed not quite 2 months ago. Having pregnancy symptoms though of nausea and super powered smeller, plus fatigue. Anyhow, I will try again in a few more days, if my period does not show up before then. H&H 9 months to all those with a BFP already.

Married 9/4/11 BFP 4/5/09, EDD 12/4/09, m/c 7/31/09 BFP 5/27/11, EDD 1/17/12, DS born 1/16/12 BFP 8/16/14, EED 4/29/15, We are having another BOY!
Yup. DS is Tommy Pickles! Nothing like living with an escape artist. Just another cloth diapering, baby wearing mama.
I'm lurking because I'm still HOPING to be a March 2015 mommy - just a few more days until I'll know for sure. I'm 26, DH is almost 27, and we live in central Illinois. This will be our FIRST baby
I'm hesitant to post a whole lot because it's so early and I have a crippling fear of loss, but I'm at four weeks today. This is our first and it was actually our first month trying too. Positive test was at two days before my period was due, and I'm doing a second test next week on Wednesday and calling my gynecologist then if it's positive.
@cookie427 I am sorry for your loss. Welcome and congratulations! I am 30 and have a 2 yr old also. There is a PgAL check-in thread on this board weekly. Wish you a happy and healthy 9 months!
@thejucheidea Welcome and congratulations! I think the fear of loss is shared by many pregnant ladies, whether you have had a previous loss or not. Try to stay positive, enjoy the fact that you are pregnant and know you aren't alone.
My name is Katie also and I'm on pregnancy #3. We have a 2 year old mischief maker. Our last pregnancy ended in miscarriage and I'm having a really hard time relaxing about this one! I have 2 stepsons as well, so we are adding to a huge mix.
@ktbug68 Welcome and congratulations! I am sorry for your loss. Look into the PgAL check-in thread, and feel free to join in. Wish you a happy and healthy 9 months!
I have been lurking because it's still early for me as well. This is my first baby and our first time trying and I kind of scared myself by reading about CPs and such. Going by my LMP I am 4w4d today, but I got my BFP on 9 dpo (positive OPK on June 15, so I'm thinking I O'ed on June 16, no BBT tracking). It was a faint line, but not an eye squinter. I got a positive digital test two days later. Since I don't know EXACTLY when I O'ed, I've just been using LMP. But no worries! My first appointment is July 17. Right now my EDD is March 10 and I'm so excited!!!
Hello! Thanks for the option to introduce this way! Just got our BFP this am! Took a digi last night and got a BFN, but figured it was just too early. Tried this am, and boom! So, we are 3w5d, EDD 3/18. We have a dd, 21 months old, and looking forward to doing this crazy all over again! And getting to know you ladies this time around. I did nothing but lurk with #1, and I'm ready to interact a little more this time!
I've posted a couple of times, but never wrote an into and am definitely a lurker most of the time As others have expressed, I think it just still feels early to me, although I am learning to relax day by day. June was the first month ever trying for me and my husband, so finding myself 5.5 weeks pregnant on July 6th is still pretty surreal. We're really excited, though. I'm looking forward to my first appointment on the 24th.
About me: I am 31 and live in Brooklyn. I am a teacher, and my husband is going to start at seminary in the fall. We have two dear cats. I am also a major bike commuter and cycling enthusiast, although I don't race.
I'm new here. Just got my BFP yesterday! EDD 3-17-15. Makes me 3w6d. We have 2 boys, 8 and 5. We also have had two losses before 12 weeks- most recent in February of this year. Holding my breath a bit this first trimester.
I've been lurking for a week or so, since my BFP. I'm 5w3d, EDD March 6. My husband and I have been trying for about 6 months, and had a loss in March. Trying to be cautiously hopeful moving forward...
@nursecmc I am also 3w6d (I think). I'm new here, but I've been lurking for a while waiting for a BFP. I'm 26 (soon to be 27), a teacher and this would be my first. My husband and I are super excited.
@nursecmc and @mrs pipp Congratulations and welcome! I am sorry for your losses. We have a weekly PgAL check-in thread on this board, feel free to join. Wishing you both happy and healthy pregnancies this time around!
@nhart811 Welcome and congratulations on your BFP!
