I really didn't expect to be back here so soon! Dirty lurker from May 2014 over here.
Estimated Due Date (EDD): 6/10/14
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Nope - this is #2
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? We were trying not to conceive for the first time this month via natural family planning. I had my iud taken out last month due to frequent spotting. Oh well! Our plan was to wait 3 more months but we're over the moon about it!
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? When he came home from work on Friday I asked him if he wanted a beer. He said yes and I went to the fridge, grabbed two like I usually do. Opened one, handed it to him and then handed him the other one. He looked at me and asked if I needed him to open it and I said "No, you're drinking for two again!" He was shocked but really happy.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I had a c-section with DS because he was too big and I'm pretty sure I'm going to do a RCS with this one. He ended up being just under 10# with a head in the 95%tile so I'm guessing future babies will be just as big. I'll just have to wait and see what the doctor says.
Estimated Due Date (EDD): June 13th (and my 1 year wedding anniversary LOL)
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Yes, First time for both of us! How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 4 months
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I took the test with him, knew I would have an absolute melt down if I was alone LOL. Took the test at 11DPO afternoon today with a strong BFP.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: Nothing! Just super excited! I've been doing lots of research LOL I'm such a planner.
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? im a first time mom but this is my third pregnancy. So far so good.
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? I've been ttc for two years. We had some sperm issues that have hopefully been rectified through a varicocelectomy.
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? He was with me.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I still can't believe this is real !
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? First time Mom
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 6 years
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I was a weepy whiny mess on 10/1/2015 and drove home crying the entire way. I stopped at the local CVS and grabbed a box of FRER. I was only 6DP5DT and through it might of been too early. Within a minute of taking the test, two lines appeared. I was blown away! My husband was on his way home and I quickly printed out a note that said "HI Daddy! I or we can't wait to meet you! Baby E******** Arriving June 2016". When he got home, I gave him the note and had him read it, held up the test and said..."We're Pregnant". He didn't believe me at first, but then looked again in the light of the bathroom and started crying. We have tried for 6 years, 1 miscarriage, 2 failed IUI's , and 1 failed IVF cycle....this is truly a miracle!
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: We are currently waiting for the first beta....our FC doesn't test until 20 days past the ET. Which is way toooooo long But I keep testing with FRER every few days to make sure the line is getting darker. We have our first Beta on 10/8.
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? - No, this will be my second.
How long were you TTC? - Well we weren't trying or not trying (if you know what I mean) from March this year but in August we decided to actively try as we've always said we'd like about three years between our babies and at the end of September found out we were expecting!
How did you tell your SO? - I was in shock and about to go to work so woke him up and just blurted it out.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself - I have a wonderful June 13 girl already and I'm a full time High School Teacher of English Langage and Literature.
Hi there, I have been lurking a little bit but will go ahead and intro. My EDD is either June 10th or 13th based on different calculations. My cycle is short so that is to blame. I had a CP in May and we decided to hold off for a bit, and got my BFP last Tuesday after 2 cycles of trying. I had blood drawn on Weds/Fri of last week, my Betas will come back on Monday. Hoping for good news. In the meantime, I feel good, and my wondfo tests are getting darker each day, so that is a good sign. I told my DH by showing him the squinter and making sure he saw it too!
This would be my second child. I was a part of the October 2013 board, and my little guy came 3.5 weeks early so I have a September 2013 kid like a few others here
Wishing everyone sticky beans and happy and healthy pregnancies!

Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? I'm a first timer
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? Not long, we got it on the first month of trying
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I just told him. I thought I would do something cute/ fun but I was so shocked that he overheard my reaction to the test and I had no option but to tell him.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I'm 31 first time mom. I'm actually pretty terrified and excited all at the same time. My hubby and I have been married for 2 years and we have two fur babies.
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? It's been a long road. We tried naturally for about 5 years. This little miracle came from our first go at IUI
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I wanted to do something special, but when I got that call I ended up just blurting out 'Dad, you're gonna be Dad!'
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Nope, we have a 10 month old. I was a part of Dec '14 with my first kiddo.
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? HA! I had one cycle after I weaned my son at 9 months. Second period never came...
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I'm peeing on another test before I tell him, and I have no idea how since this is totally out of left field.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I wasn't expecting this pregnancy at all, but super excited to be here with you all!
Estimated Due Date (EDD): May 28th according to my LMP, but I am thinking it is really closer to June 4th. This was my first cycle that I stopped tracking via BBT and OPK tests, so I am not 100% sure until we go to the dr.
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Yes, I am a first time mom.
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? About 1 year.
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I didn't do anything special, I just woke him up after getting the positive test and hysterically told him about it. We both were so excited, because after a year we really weren't expecting it to happen before going to a RE.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I have two small dogs, one loves babies too much and one is scared of any kid (infant to elementary age). Should make for an interesting time. Oh, and I did have a previous account on TB. I was on TTC as metalmoliver for a short time, but ended up deleting the account and took a break from TTC forums online.
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? This will be our third baby! We have two sons, three and 14 months.
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? First cycle off BC pills, I'm shocked it happened like that!
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I told him we shouldn't go skiing this winter for vacation because I don't want to go on another ski trip pregnant. We went to Colorado when I was 15 weeks with DS2, and I had a lot of fun, but I'd rather go back when I can actually learn how to ski. At first he thought I was just talking about the possibility of being pregnant, so I had to spell it out for him a bit.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I'm a stay at home mom, DH and I have been married 6 years, and we also have a 6 year old Australian Shepherd named Rocky. I'm a big football fan, both college and NFL, and tailgate with family and friends every weekend. Hiding this pregnancy until after my first appointment will be much more difficult than the last two.
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Nope. This is #2 for us. We have a little boy whose almost 18 months. I was a part of the A14 board with him.
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 6 months. We had an early loss in Aug but we're able to try again right away.
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I took a wondfo on 11dpo but nothing showed up in a few min so I left it and got in the shower. When I got out there were 2 lines but I was convinced the 2nd was an evap. DH left for work and I decided to try again so I peed on 4 more tests, all different brands and got lots of BFPs! I waited till he got home to tell him. He went upstairs to shower and saw 5 tests on the counter.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I'm a little anxious this time around with being pgal. I had betas drawn today and so far everything looks good! I'm curious to see how similar / different this pregnancy is compared to my first with our son. I'm one of those crazy gals that loves being pregnant. It's such an amazing experience!
Congratulations and welcome June 2016 moms!! How awesome is it to be here?!?!?!
In attempt not to flood the board with tons of intro posts, figured we'd follow the lead of the May ladies and start an intro thread. Post your intro here and tell us about yourself:

Ready, set, go!
Hey ladies! I was hoping I would get to join y'all! So happy to be here
You can call me Jay. My EDD is June 12. This is baby 3 for me. I have a 2 year old son, and my daughter will be 1 this week! We will be just outside of 3 under 3. Yikes!
How did I tell DH? Well, I'm kind of known in the house for my pancake art, so for breakfast I made 3 pancakes: one said Dad x3, my son's said big brother and my daughter's said big sister. Kind of silly, but it was right up our ally.
I'm excited to getting to know y'all and going through this journey together!
Hi all! So excited to be here, cautiously optimistic!
My EDD is June 2nd. This is baby #1 for me, but second pregnancy. We had a mmc at 11 weeks in Mid June, so I am a bit scared, I am sad that I won't enjoy the pregnancy, at least not this first trimester.
How did I tell DH? This was our second cycle trying after the d&c, so during the TWW, I knew something was up! I kept telling my DH that we had scored Finally, 4 days before AF was due I got my faint positive, so I called him to tell him. I have tested like 5 times since then and it kept getting darker.
I hope that this time is different and I keep telling myself that by now 80+% end up in healthy pregnancy!!! Safe and happy journey to all!
******TW******Siggy warning BFP1 04/24/2015 EDD Dec 2015 MMC 10W5d; BFP 2 09/25/2015 EDD June 2016 MMC 9wks; BFP 3 03/22/2016 EDD Dec 6th 2016
This will be baby #2, we have a 3 year old daughter.
I got my BFP at 5:30 in the morning on Friday and waited until my husband woke up to share the news. I put a hamburger bun on a plate in the oven and said, "There's something in the oven for you." I felt bad for a minute because he got excited like I'd actually made him a hot breakfast (HA!) but then it clicked and he was so happy.
I was a dirty lurker (someone else's term from here, I'm stealing it 'cause it's awesome) from the Sept 12 board. I was always too chicken to post, initially because I was worried about loss, then by the time I felt secure, I was late to the party and didn't want to get flamed. But I'm older and wiser now and I can handle a little flame from time to time. I'm still nervous this time around...but as I've learned from being a parent, the worry never actually ends--the things you worry about just change as your kiddo grows. So this time I'm gonna embrace whatever comes. Oh, and I'm 36 years old, so, there's that, too.
Here's to a happy, healthy 9 months to all of us! I'm thrilled to be here and look forward to getting to know all of you!

HCG was 66 Friday and ~257 Monday so that looks like a good thing. I kept the level on Monday a secret until I got home from work and when I walked in the door I said "I hope you don't mind scooping the litterbox because that's your new job for the next 9 months!" (Romantic I know LOL) I had other plans but I guess I'll save them for #2.

Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Yes, first time!
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 2 months - I was actually fairly convinced that we were out this cycle since I slept really poorly last week and was waking up at all hours of the night, and therefore, my temps were doing all strange things. It was a pleasant surprise!
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I bought a book off of Amazon, The Baby Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Trouble-Shooting Tips, and Advice on First-Year Maintenance, somewhat as a joke since my H usually procrastinates when I ask him to read something I think he'll like. He was making dinner as I walked in the door after work last night, and I got the book out and said to him, "So I know you hate when I give you reading assignments, but you're going to have to read this by June". He looked at the book and asked me, "Why do I have to read this by June?", and I said back, "Why do you think?"; he asked me "You're pregnant?" - ensue hug and kiss! He was very happy and surprised!
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: My H and I have been married for a little over a year, but we've been together for 6 years or so. We recently bought a house 8 months ago and have been doing kitchen remodels and general updates to the place - which has proven to be challenging but incredibly satisfying. Last but not least, we have two dogs, a 6 year old black lab and a 2 1/2 year old lab mix that we adopted 2 years ago - they're currently the center of our world!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better and supporting one another! H&H 9 months!
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? 3rd pregnancy but will be #4 for my DH & I, he gave me a wonderful SD
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? not really trying but weren't preventing for 6mths
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? He was sitting on the couch, told him to close his eyes and held the test in front of him when he opened them. He was pretty excited.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I've been high risk with my last two pregnancies due to blood pressure. So with my due date being towards the middle of June, I'm sure I'll be induced again early so it'll probably be either late May or early June. My DH is currently a stay at home daddy.

2. First biological child, 8 year old stepchild
3. 3 years of trying and it only took a 72 hour visit to make it happen after being away 5 weeks:)
4. I told my husband over text since I was away. He was in pure shock. I wish I would have waited till I was home but I am horrible at keeping things from him.
5. My whole life is about to change. I travel a lot! I have been home 6 days in the last 2 months. I travel all over the country but getting ready to have a huge change in pace.
I am 29 and my home base is Dallas TX.

How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 4 months
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? Today is our 3 year anniversary. I tested this morning while he was still asleep and woke him up saying happy anniversary and that we had the best anniversary present possible. He was confused and then so excited!
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I live in TX with H and two adorable havanese dogs. I love quilting and crafts, and am so excited to be here with you all!
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? This will be my second. I have a 4yo.
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? Total, about a year. However, one month of trying since previous loss.
How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
I just lured my son out of the room and pulled out the positive test to show my husband privately!
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
I have been lurking but hadn't posted much because I was trying not to get too excited after previous losses. But it's finally seeking in and I can't help it! I'm exciting and thankful no matter what the outcome!
Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Yes, first time!
How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 2 months - I was actually fairly convinced that we were out this cycle since I slept really poorly last week and was waking up at all hours of the night, and therefore, my temps were doing all strange things. It was a pleasant surprise!
How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I bought a book off of Amazon, The Baby Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Trouble-Shooting Tips, and Advice on First-Year Maintenance, somewhat as a joke since my H usually procrastinates when I ask him to read something I think he'll like. He was making dinner as I walked in the door after work last night, and I got the book out and said to him, "So I know you hate when I give you reading assignments, but you're going to have to read this by June". He looked at the book and asked me, "Why do I have to read this by June?", and I said back, "Why do you think?"; he asked me "You're pregnant?" - ensue hug and kiss! He was very happy and surprised!
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: My H and I have been married for a little over a year, but we've been together for 6 years or so. We recently bought a house 8 months ago and have been doing kitchen remodels and general updates to the place - which has proven to be challenging but incredibly satisfying. Last but not least, we have two dogs, a 6 year old black lab and a 2 1/2 year old lab mix that we adopted 2 years ago - they're currently the center of our world!
