Hello my name is Candy and I am 34 years old with an EDD of Aug 3rd. This will be my first child after one failed pregnancy 3 years ago. Excited and extremely nervous! Very excited about this support community. Cheers all!
Hey yall! My name is Donna and I'm 27. DH is 31 and this is our 2nd pregnancy after having a blighted ovum in June of this year. I was getting a little worried bc my cycles have been all out of whack since my MC so decided to go to the Dr and they did blood work. Got a call the day before Thanksgiving saying I'm pregnant just too early to show up in urine test. ( HCG was 38) Had more lab work done today so we are really nervous but excited at the same time!
Hi everyone! I'm Suz and I just got my BFP yesterday! I am 34 (will be 35 this month) This will be baby number 2 for me. My EDD is August 4 and I'm really hoping to make it to at least August 1, for some reason I REALLY want an August baby. My DD is 13 months and the coolest little human EVER. I look forward to getting to know all of you. Any other East Coast mamas?
Hi ladies! I got my BFP last week, due August 5. I'm pregnant with baby #3, I have 2 daughters that are 3 and 19 months. I was on the BMB for my younger one but forgot my log in and had to reregister. So excited to be here!
Hi! I'm new here! I got my BFP on Thanksgiving so my EDD is August 10th. I'm 30, my husband is 32 and our DD will be 3 in February. I am so excited to be here. I wasn't very active in my birth month club but I will try to be for this one. Nice to meet you all!

Hello! First post here as well. I've done some reading on the boards over the past few days. I'm looking for a list of all the acronyms used here. Some I've figured out using common sense, others I'm not so sure of.
I stopped birth control in October after being on it for about 10 years. Thanksgiving morning (over a week before missed period) I did take a pregnancy test (or 3) and got faint second lines, took a couple more in the following days as well! It still doesn't really seem real! I'm so thrilled and terrified. I've just turned 27 and husband is 29. I luckily work from home, so I'm very thankful for that!
I've scheduled my first OB appointment, it's not until January though. Looking forward to share the news with family and friends, but I know it's still so early. I let it slip to my SIL Thanksgiving night when she jokingly out of the blue asked if I'm pregnant. Trying to hold off telling others until we tell our parents in the upcoming weeks:) Congratulations to you all! Oh ya! EDD is 8/11

Hey ya'll! Got my BFP last Wednesday! I am 23 and DH is 32. We've been married for almost 3 years, and realized something wasn't quite right after about 2 years with no results. We've tried just medication with no results, then injections. This was our 2nd cycle with injections and our 2nd BFP after our CP in August.
Praying for myself and all of us to have h&h 9 months! Congratulations ladies!! You are gonna be mommies

** Loss Mentioned **
My husband and I decided to start trying to conceive at the beginning of this year and I got a BFP in February. Natural miscarriage in March and have been trying to conceive since then. I got my BFP this time around on 11/24 and am hoping for a sticky pregnancy this time around! I'm 5 weeks, 2 days and my first appointment is on 12/11. I'm incredibly anxious, but hopeful since we didn't make it this far the last time!
So excited to have you ladies to share this with! My name is Mary, I'm 30. I work night shift as a nurse in the Midwest. DH and I have been trying for 24 months. This is our first BFP! This month we conceived with the help of Femara and Ovidrel. My due week is from August 7-13th. Hoping for good Betas on Thursday.

Hi everyone! My name is Emilie and I'm 25 yrs old. DH is 30 and this is our first pregnancy! We've been married for 4 1/2 years and are both excited, nervous and a little bit in shock. Glad to be with you all on this journey!
OGM I can't believe I'm here. Got my BFPs yesterday and this am! DH and I were trying for 11 months and I'm still in shock. EDD is August 9th. This is our first child. Can't wait to tell our families at Christmas!

I am SO excited to see you here!!! Congrats on your BFP!!!
I am pregnant with my first and EDD is 8/4/16. I just got married on 10/24/15 and also just moved to Texas. In a bit of shock that we got pregnant quickly since my family has had a lot of fertility issues. We wanted to wait till after our European honeymoon in March to start really trying but sometimes things don't always go as planned and our relaxed not trying method seems to have worked. My first Dr appointment isn't till January 5th which seems so far away when I just want to make sure everything is okay.
About me: 38, almost 39; first time ever being pregnant; still totally in shock to see that second line (well, lines since I've taken about 10 tests just to keep seeing the line appear); Philly-based if there are any Northeast moms/moms-to-be out there
About DF: 36, also his first time around, also totally in shock
About us: We are getting married in January and thought we would get a head start on our little family. We didn't actually think it would happen this fast though! Looks like I'll be toasting with sparkling water at my wedding :-)
About the Coming Attraction: Negative test on Thanksgiving at 10-11 DPO, but then my first BFP on Saturday. The Internet tells me I'm due August 7 and my cycle was completely textbook this month so I trust that. I don't go to my Dr until after Christmas so I won't know much more until then. I begged to get in before the holiday, but the receptionist said my timing just wouldn't work since I won't quite be 8 weeks yet. The suspense....!
I'm so excited to be here and am looking forward to 9 months with you all!
Hey everyone! Love reading everyone's BFP stories. Ours was hard to get to, but we are finally here! We've been TTC since 2010, I am 32, DH is 33, and I have PCOS. Various treatments, shots, meds, IUI's that failed. And FINALLY our insurance changed and covered a good chunk of IVF (prior it was out of pocket) . So we proceeded with the IVF treatment (2 transferred, and 3 frozen) My ER was November 9th and on Nov 23rd, I got a positive Beta, went back for a second, on the 27th, and it more than tripled. Now we have our ultrasound this Friday to see the sac, then next week they will confirm the heartbeat.
It's been such a long journey, but we are THRILLED that we got our BFP! Based on my egg retrieval date and an IVF due date calculator, I am due August 1st.

HI, I'm 27 from New Orleans, LA. I haven't been to the doctor yet. It will be next week. DH and I been married for 9 months. Our First pregnancy. I got off BCP and started tracking my fertility so that we could be better prepared for when we were ready to try to have a baby, and SURPRISE! I thought that I was OK with getting pregnant, but I am FREAKING out! I'm wondering what I was thinking and I'm mourning life as I've known it. Anyone else feeling this way?

Take it one day at a time. Your emotions will likely change each day (or throughout the day) as well. It will be okay.
Hi. My name is Dani. I am 29 years old. I had a miscarriage back in September of this year which has been very difficult to recover from emotionally. My husband and I found out yesterday that I am exactly 3 weeks pregnant. (I work at a hospital so I was able to get a blood drawn and sent to the lab before actually missing my period) My EDD is August 17, 2016. My first doctors appoint isn't until December 22, so I m sure I will be a nervous wreck until then!
We just found out last Wednesday that we are expecting our secon child (third pregnancy) after a miscarrage in late September. It happened during our first try back on the wagon! Our little bundle will be due in 8/1/16! We are so excited but of course super nervous. We have a 15 months old son and are so excited to add to our little family. Good luck to all of y'all!
Hey Mamas! I'm Jen. I live in Fort Worth, Tx and I'm 31. I'm expecting my first child with an estimated due date of 8/9/16. I'm 4w1d. We tried almost 9 months to conceive and it still hasn't quite sunk in that we did it! Very excited to be a Mommy
Hey all! I'm Becky! I just found out Monday that I had a successful frozen IVF transfer. I am super scared to jinx this by being on here, but we're not talking to many people about it, so I need to vent my excitement somewhere! We have an U/S in 2 weeks to make sure it's all ok. Last time I had a positive it was a blighted ovum. So, we're naturally worried. I did my own calculation and I'm due 8/7/16. Hi all. I hope to stay positive and gain some support!

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!!
Glad to see another Minneapolis person in here! Congrats to you and DH
Hello everyone! First congrats to all have posted here already!!
I'm Katherine from Florida. My husband and I both just turned 28 a few weeks ago (we have the same birthday, it's convenient) but as I just got a BFP, I guess our future child won't be sharing our November birthday as my due date is 8/11. We've been TTC for 2 months, NTNP for about 5. I am quite excited.
I have a doctor's appointment next week (felt like I should call them and get that, right?). No kids yet, first pregnancy, so I'm a bit clueless on all of this.
If you can't tell, I'm also a HUGE Disney fan, so I'll bring that to the table here
Hi everyone! Congratulations and good luck!!! I'm so excited to be here! I'm Taylor (26) and my husband (27) and I live in South Louisiana! We have been TTC for over a year (4 IUI's) and just received our first BFP yesterday with a beta confirming it this morning! Still very early (12 dpiui) but we are very excited and optimistic!!! I'm so glad I tested out my trigger shot because I wouldn't believe this was true if I hadn't. I go for my next Beta Friday morning!

Hi everyone! I'm Tyanne and I'm 20 years old and my husband is 25 and were both from a little town in East Texas. This is our first baby and we are over the moon. My period has always been irregular but we found out on Thanksgiving morning that we have a little one on the way! I haven't had a period since Oct 1st, but I'm guessing I'm about 4-5 weeks pregnant and my EDD is Aug 6th, and we will confirm that at my first appointment on Tuesday. Congratulations y'all! Here's to August babies (my birthday is actually Aug. 29)
Hello all! First post on here! My husband and I are both 27 and expecting our first child, estimated due date is 8/12. I just found out Saturday, tested 5 days before AF was due and got a BFP! My husband is currently hunting at our cabin and has limited access to a phone. I've spoken to him but thought I should wait and surprise him when he gets home on Saturday. I am horrible at keeping big news like this so I'm struggling to keep it to myself! I've told my mom, waiting to tell anyone else until the hubby knows!
We were only on cycle 2 of TTC and I can't believe it happened so soon!!!! Still in shock a little. Going next week for a blood test then I'll make an appointment with an OB. Excited to be on this journey with ya'll!
Hey all I'm Jackie. Aged 29 and my hubby and are live in Victoria, Australia. First time pregnant and pretty excited! I'm 5 weeks tomorrow.
I have a question about morning sickness..... I just seem to dry heave all day. I'm calling it ghost vomiting! I swear I'm going to pop an eye ball! Any one else having the same?
Hi! I'm 29, hubby is 33, we are from the twin cities, and this will be our third child. We are due august 5th. Our kids are 10 and 5, so we are kind of starting over again, but not completely by accident... I'm very excited but afraid, although I haven't suffered a loss, I'm more afraid of it this time around than I was with my first two. So trying to stay healthy and cut back on my favorite vice- coffee
Hi, I havent introduced myself yet. I'm 30, my husband is 32. According to my ovulation date (which was 3 days early this cycle after a CP last cycle) is 8/2/16. We have been TTC for a little over 2 years. In that time we have had 2 mmc and 1 CP. I finally switched OB care from midwives to a mainstream OB and I have never been more cared for or happy. After 2 years of digging for answers we finally found that I have APS which is a blood clotting disorder, along with MTHFR-which can cause neural tube defects if not properly cared for. I live in the deep south and east coast, although I am a city girl at heart. I lived in philly for a long time and miss it dearly. @Tra1010011
Hello all! I've been lurking between the July moms board as well as on here. My due date is either the last day in July or the 1st of August (I think!) Unfortunately I had a natural mc in April and had had very irregular cycles since hence why I'm not too certain on the exact date as of yet. Judging from the clear blue tests I got my 3+ on Tuesday which makes me 5 weeks 2days today. I'm nervous but am feeling positive for now. I've booked an early scan on Tuesday the 15nth which can't come soon enough, fingers crossed everything will go well. I haven't told anyone this time round apart from my husband, so I'm delighted that I have this app to comfort me in my moments of insanity! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better over the next few months

Hi! I'm newly pregnant EDD 8/12. I'm 28 with one almost two year old as well as one baby that we lost around 8 weeks pregnant last March. Very excited to join you ladies. I do have a question... I have had a 21 day cycle since last miscarriage. Last period started Nov. 6th and I found out I was pregnant November 24th.im having trouble figuring out how far along I am since the pregnancy is usually counted by a 28 day cycle. Any help?
Hi! My name is Savannah and my EDD is August 3rd. My first appointment isnt until December 22nd so the date is not official. This will be my first child. My husband and I are extremely excited and nervous all at the same time. Looking forward to connecting with you all throughout the months.
