My name is Kristin; I am 27 and from Chicago. I am pregnant with my first with an EDD of August 8, 2016. I was pregnant this past summer and lost the pregnancy at 7 weeks so I am ecstatic to be back on the BMBs. I am hoping PGAL brain doesn't hit me too hard. Hopefully we can have a regular PGAL check-in thread for those of us who need it throughout this pregnancy. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hi! My name is Casey, I'll be 31 on Sunday. I'm from St Pete FL. This will be my 3rd (and last) baby, I have a 10 year old son and an almost 4 year old son. I'm nervous like its the first time, but excited to complete my family. Happy to be here with you all
My name is Jess and I just turned 27. Last Friday I got the "Pregnant 1-2 weeks" result on a Clearblue home test. My doctor's appointment isn't until Dec. 21, but since the test turned up positive I decided to plug the date of the beginning of my last period in a calculator and it spit out August 3. This is my second pregnancy-- daughter was born at 41+5 via emergency c-section and is now 16 months old.
Happy to be here with everyone
PS- I didn't actively participate on a board like this when pregnant with my daughter, so would it be possible to pin the abbreviations somewhere? I can figure some out, but some I have no idea!
Hi everyone! I am 29 years old and my DH is 30. I am pregnant for the very first time and I'm due August 3 according to online calculators!
I had my first beta hCG drawn yesterday (3 weeks, 5 days) and it was 188. I have a repeat on Monday, so hopefully it continues going up!
I will have my first u/s early (around 6-7 weeks) because I am high-risk (unicornuate uterus). Really hoping this baby decides to stick around - it took us 14 months of trying to get here! I know I'm at a super high risk of miscarriage, IUGR, and preterm labor so I'm pretty much going to be worried the entire 9 months!
Hey ladies and congratulations! I am from the upper midwest and enjoying our unseasonably long fall. DH and I are both 26yo and pregnant with our first. *eekkk!!!* We got our BFP on Saturday (11/21, CD25, 13DPO) after 3 cycles of actively TTC. Based on ovulation EDD is 7/31 and based on LMP its 8/3. Excited to be here with you gals.
DH(27) + Me (27) = 1/14 Baby #1: Aug. 2016 Baby #2: April 1st, 2018
Congrats ladies!! Posted this in the other thread, but FF puts my EDD at August 1. Husband and I have been TTC for about 8 months and this will be our first! First doctor's appointment isn't until mid-December but we are thrilled. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hi ladies! I'm both excited and a little shocked to be posting here. Took two tests today, one was extremely faint this morning, but took a FRER digital tonight and it was positive too.
Anywho, I'm 26, DH is 27, and this will be our first... this was our first cycle TTC, hence the shock! I was all geared up for a 6-ish month wait and then bam, here we are... it is definitely still sinking in! We have been married 6 years, and we have two furbabies.
I plugged the dates into a calculator this morning and it said my EDD is August 6th, which amusingly enough is DH's birthday.
Congratulations to all of you ladies, and I'm excited to hang with you all! I'm also hoping we can do some of the fun daily threads like the TTGP boards, if everyone else is in.
My name is Allison and I am 26 years old from Illinois. I am TTC #1 after a loss in September at 9 weeks. This was our first cycle TTCAL and we got pregnant last time on the first cycle, so very excited to hopefully have our rainbow baby this quickly!!!
Got my first really clear BFP today after a few faint ones the past two days. DH is 27 and we've been married a little over 1 year. Calling the doctor tomorrow! EDD based on LMP is August 6th!
@Kristin712 I would love to have a PGAL check-in! So many emotions this time and would love others to talk to that are due around the same time.
Hey all! I am due July 29th but since I am a FTMand my chances of being overdue are higher, I'll probably bounce between July and August boards.
DH is 34, I am 29, and we've been married 9 years. We live in the Twin Cities - Minneapolis/St Paul metro in MN. We had been TTGP for 18 months, suffered an early loss and this is our second pregnancy 15 months after the loss. We got this BFP last week, two weeks before we were scheduled to start infertility testing! Taking this pregnancy day by day - today I am pregnant!!

Hello and congrats to everyone. My EDD is August 3. I had a miscarriage in September so I'm super nervous and excited. I have two sons 12 and 7. I had a Miscarriage 2 months before my 7 year old so I have high hopes this one will stick just like him . I have never been big and pregnant in the summer lol, feel bad for the husband and kids around that time!
My name is KC and I am 35 years old and pregnant with our first baby (4 weeks 1 day). I had a early miscarriage in early October, so by God's grace we are expecting again. My EDD is Aug 2nd and I get to see my OBGYN for my 8 week appt a few days before Christmas:-)
So excited to be on this journey. Praying for a healthy baby and healthy pregnancy!

Hello all! I'm Xath and I just got a positive result on 2 pregnancy tests. I won't have a doctor appointment until mid-December, but my H and I are excited. This will be my 4th baby. My boys are 4 and 19 months. My daughter passed away shortly after birth, but would be 3 years old this December. I love being pregnant, but I've had some complicated pregnancies. My first was pretty normal except that he was breech and wouldn't turn, so I had a cesarean. I went into pre-term labor with my daughter at 24 weeks, but we were able to hold off with nifedipine until 35w6d. She did really well in the NICU; she needed some help breathing but otherwise did great. When she was 3 days old, her heart stopped suddenly and she was gone. The doctors were never able to figure out what happened. It was the worst thing I've ever experienced, but I'm so glad I got the time I did with her. My youngest was a preemie too, born at 35w2d. I started PTL with him at 22 weeks, but we used Makena, Nifedapine and bed rest to delay as long as possible. He spent 2 weeks in the NICU for breathing help, and now you'd never know he was early.
Based on my LMP, my EDD is August 2. Even though it's possible this one will be early, I'd like to stick with the August board, as it's great to have 'peers' at the right developmental age once the babies are born. In the past I haven't been "active" until 2nd tri, but I really enjoyed connecting with my last BMB and wanted to 'get in on the ground floor' here. Happy to meet you all.
After a few months of trying this morning I got my BFP!! I have been procrastinating since Saturday to take the test, but I was worried it would be negative, even though I was a few days late. Finally it's happening! This is my first pregnancy and I am very excited! Looking forward to getting to know you all better.
Hi! My name is Lilly and I am 32 and my husband is 31, and I am pregnant with our first child (4 weeks 3 days). We had been TTC for 4 cycles. I had my BFP at 9 DPO and a blood test confirmed a few days later. My EDD is August 1! My first ultrasound is on Dec 18th, so my fingers are crossed til then. Nervous but so excited. Congrats to all you ladies!
@misspuppychow Please don't use the term baby dust here. It's not a term the Bump community likes to read or use as it reminds some moms of the babies they've had to cremate.
Hello everyone! My name is Tari & I'm 31. I'm pregnant for the second time & recently had a miscarriage in October. I'm so happy to have another opportunity & praying for a healthy pregnancy!
Hi!!! Glad to see some other TTCAL and TTGP grads here
Just got my BFP today. According to LMP, I'm due 7/28, but by ovulation date I'm 8/5. DS was late, so I think this baby will be too, but I'm not sure if my OB will let me go as late as my O date.
About me: DH and I are in our 30's, DS is 2 (another August baby) and we live just north of Boston. We're stunned and cautiously hopeful about this pregnancy as we suffered a MMC this summer. Fx I get to hang around for the next 9 months!
Happy Thanksgiving Ladies!!! We have a lot to be Thankful for!!! We were TTC for 5 months for baby #1 and got a BFP on Monday I'm 31 and DH is 34. We live in NH and have 3 beautiful furbabies. My due date based on LMP is 7/31/16, based Ovulation is 8/3/16... not really sure which is the best method to go with, I guess waiting for the ultrasound to confirm is the best idea. So happy to see some familiar names from the TTC board H&H 9 to everyone!!!
Hi There! I'm Hayley and I'm 25. DH is 27 and this will be our first. We just got married in May and are super excited. Took a WONDFO on 13DPO that was semi-faint. Bought FRER and that too was a little light. Calling DR on Monday!
Hi - I got a postive pregnancy test on Monday night with a positive bet on Tues. I completed lap surgery in Oct and removed stage 2 endo (after 3 failed IUIs). I got pregnant on a natural cycle (no fertility meds) the first cycle after surgery. EDD is Aug 4th. I am also high-risk and started Lovenox yesterday. H&H 9 months to everyone!!
Hi everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! My name is Brooke and I'm 28 years old. BFP today! Due date 8/7 per calculator. This will be our second. Our son is 19 months old. We are super excited to be adding to our family! ! Congrats to everyone!
Hi ladies! I'm so happy to be here! I'm 28 and DH is 30 and we are expecting our first. I'm due August 7th according to both my LMP and my O date from FF. Although this is a welcome pregnancy I'm terrified as all hell! I'm so excited to get to know you all!
TTC History:
Started dating DH 2006 . Married 2015
TTC July 2015-November 2015
BFP November 2015 Baby boy born August 2016
Oops BFP February 2021 MMC March 2021
Back on BC for a year to decide what we want to do.
Hi everyone Both dh and I are 24 and we are from Gold Coast, Australia. I am currently pregnant for the second time. Our first pregnancy ended with a tfmr- ds was diagnosed with LUTO and was ineligible for treatment. I got a bfp on our 2nd cycle of ttc, 5 months after ds was born. Based on lmp edd is 31/7 but based on o date it is 1/8 so I'll just hang around between the two boards.
@misspuppychow please don't use baby dust! As someone who's ds was cremated it is not the nicest term.
Hi all. Both my hubby & I are 31 years old from Atlanta. We've been married 7 1/2 years. After many years of not wanting biological children, the baby bug bit me last year. I'm currently pregnant for the first time after a few months of TTC on and off. According to LMP my due date is 03 August, but since I can narrow down conception to a 3 day window, a more likely due date is 10 August. I got a very faint positive test on 20 Nov, followed by a "pregnant" reading on a EPT digital test later that day. I've now taken 4 more tests and every single one has been positive. I have my first appointment the week of Christmas! Yay for August babies!
Hi! I just got a BFP today and so excited and trying not to be nervous (I've had 2 losses in the past year). My husband and I live in Onario, Canada. EDD is August 5th. Hopefully I'll be on this birth month board until then I hope everyone has a great day
Hello ladies. My name is Carisa and I'm 22. SO is 26, this is my 3rd child but our first. I have an almost 6 year old and a forever 2 1/2 year old. We are excited to be pregnant after TTC for 3 months/ 3 cycles. The BFP were a complete surprise. I had just taken a test 2 days before and just had an urge to pee on a stick and got a faint positive, but it was there. EDD is August 2. First Dr. Appointment is December 15.
Congrats to everyone here! I finally received my first BFP this morning (14dpo, 15dpt) after 20 months of trying. It was our last round before a 3 month break and jumping into IVF. Needless to say, I am ecstatic. My RE only does a beta test with a positive HPT, and the office is closed for the holidays until Monday, so I'm so excited and anxious for a beta test (likely on Monday). I'm looking forward to getting to know you ladies better and am excited to see some of the ladies from the Infertility and TTTC board on here too!
EDD is August 5, 2016!

@LilLambie - sorry for the mistake. I always thought it was a fairy good luck type of statement. I did not realize people were wishing THAT upon me. How awful. I'm so sorry
Hi, I got my bfp today, after 2 years of ttc, I m 28, dh 31 and this is our first child. I called my doctor to tell her, and she immediately ordered a beta hcg, it came out to be 70.5, which according to her is too low, so now I am on progesterone insertions and repeat blood test on Monday, keeping my fingers crossed. All goes well, estimated due date would be 3rd Aug. Congratulations to all the new mommies to be!!
Hi all! DH and I have been TTC since Feb 2015. I had a MC in March and a Blighted Ovum and D&C in July/August. I'm 10DPO and have faint lines. Hoping to hear from my DR on Monday to get some betas done. I am so cautiously excited to be here with an EDD of August 9, 2016/

It took us 4 months to get pregnant with baby #2. Like all "new" mom's I am super excited and super nervous. I have butterflies just thinking about it.
@LilLambie - sorry for the mistake. I always thought it was a fairy good luck type of statement. I did not realize people were wishing THAT upon me. How awful. I'm so sorry
When others used the term with you, they were definitely not wishing you anything bad. Other pregnancy sites/forums use that term freely with positive intentions. Here on TB, we don't like the term because of what the words imply. Thank you for editing your original post!
