Things are pretty fresh and new in here! I hope we can keep things orderly, fun, and helpful for all!

Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have?

How did you tell your SO?

What is your estimated due date?



How long did you try to get KU? I did BBT and CM charting for two cycles, but this was actually our first cycle trying without TTA. I was shocked!

Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? First time mom, here

How did you tell your SO? His birthday was on Monday, so I told him I got him a late birthday present. When he opened it, it was the positive test, and the "Dad's Guide to Pregnancy for Dummies"

What is your estimated due date? May 3rd

  • How long did you try to get KU? Only this past month (last period started July 26, so we started trying right when it was done). I have had major health issues in the past and assumed it wouldn't happen right away- happy surprise!! I had just started charting, too.

    Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? First time mom!

    How did you tell your SO? I had already tested wayyy too early and got a negative, so my husband knew about that. When I got super nauseous at work later in the week, my husband joked I should test again. So I did when I got home, and got a faint line. Tested again today and multiple BFP tests! So I couldn't help but send the news to him while he's at work as he was waiting to hear what the tests said this morning :)

    What is your estimated due date? May 1st is what all the online sites are saying- but I have a strong history of twins in my family, so will probably straddle boards just in case.

  • Officially tried since June...

    This will be our fourth baybee, we have two boys and a girl...

    Had DH "guess what?!" And he played dumb. We had bought pregnancy tests the day before I tested.

    EDD May 1. Historically ran late with pregnancies so will probably be NOT before May 1st, but every pregnancy is different.

  • Ack! @DutchLucyLu ! So great to see you here! Woohoo!

  • @mschill22 hooray for temping! My OB will probably give me an April due date based on LMP, but I know better ;)

    Me and my DH both wore personalized Converse at our wedding. So did my bridesmaids (the groomsmen wore them, but not personalized).

    We definitely plan to announce on Facebook with some baby All Stars when the time comes. Love it!

  • @lalala2004, hey girl, hey! :D

    How long did you try to get KU? 5 months, 3 cycles. We'd just decided we'd have a little break from TTC a week and a half ago, but I'd already O'ed by then.

    Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? First timer.

    How did you tell your SO? Took a Wondfo this morning, ran up to show him. It was a squinter and he wasn't entirely convinced. Finally got to take a digital test 12 hours later (BIL had his 18th birthday party and I didn't want to cancel over a squinter) which I took with him right there in the bathroom with me. I shrieked, we hugged/kissed, we went out to get pizza. It was perfect.

    What is your estimated due date? Fertility Friend says May 2, 2016.

  • @lalala2004, would love to see a pic of your announcement when you get to that point!!  Have you been having any pregnancy symptoms yet?  (It's still early but I'm feeling super bloated and have had a bit of heartburn, which I have never had before)

    Will definitely share when the time comes :).

    I can't pinpoint any of my symptoms to pregnancy exactly. I've been thirsty, tired, and hungry a lot, but I generally feel the same way during PMS! I have had a little nausea when hungry, more than usual, I'd say.

    It definitely makes it hard to 'feel' pregnant this early on. If I hadn't tested yet, would I even notice a difference? I'm not sure.

    I think you might be on the wrong board if your EDD is March 6th (this is May '16). :) But congrats anyway!

    How long did you try to get KU? 1 year & 7 months off and on - I've had 2 m/c during that time so I need all the sticky baby vibes!

    Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? Nope, already have DD aka Chicklet who just turned 3 in July.

    How did you tell your SO? I just POS today and DH has gotten home yet so I haven't told him yet. I'm thinking of going full cheese and putting a bun in our oven, then tell him there's something wrong with it so he looks inside.

    What is your estimated due date? May 2nd

  • How long did you try to get KU?  
    -We tried for 2 years.  We started fertility treatments last November.  (1) IUI in January: BFN, (2) IVF's: Both BFN's and then this frozen embryo transfer which is a BFP!  

    Are you a first time mom?  
    -YES!  I have a black cat that I considered my baby up until this.  ;)

    How did you tell your SO?  
    I had purchased a card a loooooong time ago for this moment.  I had a co-worker of mine (guy) address the envelope to him so he didn't recognize the handwriting and on the inside of the card was a picture of the pregnancy test with "Congrat!  You're going to be a Daddy!". I was able to get the mail from the mailbox that day and just stuck it in there...he had no idea. :)

    Estimated Due Date:
    May 2, 2016
  • @peachykeen16 Praying for a happy, healthy, and sticky 9 months for you! (I love your avatar :) )

    Very excited to get to know all of you, and I love hearing the stories of how you told/are telling your DHs!

  • I hear a lot of people tend to be late with their first baby, so May is probably a safe bet for you, @concreteayngel ! Welcome!

  • How long did you try to get KU? We conceived the first cycle!

    Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? My husband has 1 from a previous relationship - so we have a daughter that is 7! But this is my first pregnancy! We're very excited!!

    How did you tell your SO? I had been hoping that we had conceived but hadn't felt any different. Took a couple BFP tests and both came back negative. I was up reading 'What to expect Before you're expecting' in bed about a week later and was reading the chapter about early testing and false negatives so I turned to my DH and said I wanted to take another pregnancy test. Was really thinking it would be another negative but was just so hopeful. We got to watch the second pink line pop up together! It was like magic :)

    What is your estimated due date? Online sites say May 1!
  • We actually weren't trying but weren't doing anything to prevent it either. He has a 13 year old, an 11 year old and a 9 year old from a previous relationship. I had a daughter before who was killed in an accident when she was 5 years old. I plan on straddling boards since edd is April 28th. My daughter was a week late, not sure if it will happen this time too. So very excited! He is actually the one who suggested I test because I was feeling nauseous one day. He was joking but I did it anyways. Congrats to everyone!

    Hi Everyone :)
    How long did you try to get KU? we started trying on our belated honeymoon in July
    Are you a first time mum? If not, how many little ones do you have? First time mum and first pregnancy ( I have one fur baby who has been very sweet and very gentle)
    How did you tell your SO? I called DH at work, I didn't think it would be fair to tell work before DH (I didn't have a choice about telling work so early because I work in operating theatres)

    What is your estimated due date? if I go by the internet (which is so accurate :P) 3rd May :)

    I'm in the same boat @concreteayngel - my due date is 4/29 but the April group seems so much further ahead!!! I'll probably straddle the groups to peek ahead at what's to come :). We got our BFP after 2 months of trying and I'm so excited for my first appointment on Friday to confirm HCG levels!

    Congrats everyone!!!
  • How long did you try to get KU? Two months, but I only tracked the last month.
    Are you a first time mum? I have a DD who is over a year old. We wanted them to be close in age -- admittedly I am still a little nervous about what that looks like each day -- but then again, I would probably be nervous no matter the age difference, so we are excited about this next part of our adventure.
    How did you tell your SO? I waited for the results while we were brushing out teeth. So he was there from the first VERY faint line. Although I don't think he believed me until he saw a darker line days later.
    What is your estimated due date? I have a long cycle, but based on my tracking, I believe May 2nd. Although I BET the doc will say April 27th. Either way, I would rather participate in the May board and join in on a fresh community...although I am sure I will lurk on the April boards from time to time.

  • Hi everyone!!! Excited to be a part of this board.  

    How long did you try to get KU?  We were only trying for 1 month and "nailed it" on the first try.  :)

    Are you a first time mom? First time mom and dad for us.  We are both 33.

    How did you tell your SO?  I asked him if he was attached to his "hockey room" since he is a hockey player and he asked me "why" so I said "we need to move it to the garage so we can put a crib in here".  Took him a few minutes and then it clicked! 

    What is your estimated due date?  Per my app that I downloaded, it's May 1, 2016.  My first drs appointment is on September 18th. 
    Welcome and congratulations! :)

    May I suggest you change your username to something a little more recognisable? A lot of people have a 'Knottienumbers' username and it's hard to see/remember who is who. You should be able to change it by logging in to The Knot.

    Wishing you (and everyone else of course) a happy and healthy nine months!
  • Thanks... And I'd gladly change my name (If I knew how LOL).  Any Insight?   :)
  • Hello! First time mom here! We had been trying for 6 months. EDD is straddling April & May so I'll likely follow both boards. Was too excited when I saw the positive test and just blurted it out to DH!!! I couldn't hold the tears back.
  • Hello! DH and I were trying to conceive for two long years, and I had surgery in July which found and clearly fixed the issues! After many injections, ultrasounds and bloodwork, we had an IUI, and we are due May 5 with baby #1 (although there's a 20-30% chance of there being more than one in there, so we'll see!). I had my blood test today, but have been testing positive since Friday, which DH was well aware of. I wish we would have had a more exciting announcement than me calling him at work this morning to confirm, but I guess that comes woth the territory! Looking forward to getting to know you!
  • Hi! We tried for three months. We have a nearly 18 month old little boy, and I'm so glad they'll be close in age! I suspected I might be pregnant yesterday and told DH, but he left for work early this morning before I tested. So my son and I told him over FaceTime because I couldn't wait! My estimated due date is May 2, but my son was born a few days early so I'll probably end up delivering in late April.
  • How long did you try to get KU? 7 months. but I only had 3 cycles.  Got my BFP Cycle day 114

      Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? I have 2 DDs. The oldest is four and a half, and the youngest turns 3 on Wednesday. 

    How did you tell your SO? I dug out the car seat and attached a tag that said, "To be Installed By May 2nd". I But it in the spare room and made up and excuse for him to go in there.  He was definitely caught off guard! 

     What is your estimated due date? May 2nd
  • Thanks... And I'd gladly change my name (If I knew how LOL).  Any Insight?   :)
    I think you actually have to log in to the Knot to change your screen name.

    Hmmm... I changed it in THEKNOT and it confirmed.  Logged out and then back in and then poof, same knottie name.  :(

    It sometimes takes a while to change permanently (no idea why). I'd say give if a day or so, then see if you can try again. I think you can also message admin and have them change it for you, but I'm not sure about that.
  • Hi All!!! 

    4 weeks and counting.  Found out last week.  I had that "woman intuition" that something was different in my body and I decided to take a test.  Well 4 tests later, they all said Pregnant.  And yes I used all different brands LOL. 

    My DH was watching a movie with me when I got that "feeling" to test so he actually knew before me.  After I used the test, I let it sit in the bathroom for the 3 minutes and made him go get it.  He hid it from me for 10 minutes before he showed me!   This is both of our first so we're excited and looking forward to our new adventure.

    Due Date: 5/1/16 (per the app I downloaded)  First Drs appointment is on September 18th! 


    PS.  How do you make a signature with the countdowns? 

    thanks and congrats everyone!
