Thought we might as well make this official, seeing as our numbers are growing! Here's a spreadsheet, add yourself in by username (alphabetical) and your details so we can keep track of everyone!
eta: if you are on an apple product (iPhone or iPad) you'll need the "Sheets" app to edit the spreadsheet...you'll need something similar on Android (whatever the Microsoft Excel equivalent would be).
I'll start, since I haven't done an official intro here yet!
*TW - loss mentioned*
Hi!
I'm J, and DH and I lost our first baby in December at 7w. It was a natural miscarriage so we are unsure of the reason for the loss but have been told it was likely a chromasomal abnormality. After three cycles of trying post-loss, we are pregnant again (due Nov 4) and I am terrified and excited. Every little twinge makes me nervous (I've been constipated and having some spotting with BMs which is not helping my nerves) and I plan on being a real pain in my doctors ass, and requesting a lot of bloodwork and early scans due to underlying health conditions I worry may have affected my previous pregnancy (unexplained mid-luteal phase bleeding, hypoparathyroidism and had a thyroidectomy last year).
This is pregnancy I found out incredibly early, a super squinter on a FRER at 9dpo (3w3d) and an obvious positive the next day so I feel like I've gained lots of extra time to worry about my little bean. My betas are doubling nicely, my progesterone is good and my thyroid levels are right where they belong so we're off to a good start so far!
Looking forward to getting to know all of you, and hoping for sticky babies and uneventful 9m for all of us!
I wasn't going to jump in on the fun yet, but I thought I'd introduce myself and maybe lurk a bit until I feel comfortable... my pee sticks, while positive, are not as dark as I am thinking they should be (am I paranoid?) and since this is my first pregnancy it is making me a little weary. I have a doctors (PCP, I don't have an OB yet) appointment a week from Monday to talk about some medication I'm on and to get a blood draw so I'll know more then.
ANYWAY
Hi! I'm peachykeen and I'm 27. DH is 31. This is our first pregnancy and we are super excited, nervous, freaking out internally, all of the above. I'm a bit of an anxious personality anyway so I'm actually really happy to have some symptoms already. Dizziness, fatigue, slight nausea in the mid morning, really painful boobs, ute twinges/slight pangs...pinches? Speaking of symptoms: Should we start a symptom thread or is it too early? Do we want a sticky symptoms thread or a weekly one? Anyway, I really loved the experience over on the TTGP board and hope to have a similar experience over here. Excited to get to know you all.
I already introduced myself, but thank you for adding me in the spreadsheet already and welcome both of you! How do we feel about a randoms thread? Where we can just shoot the shit. Or is it too early?
@nauticallife I don't think its too early. I think starting it now will give everyone a place to go to chat instead of potentially clogging up the board.
Hi! I'm super early too - I got a positive last night. They're still faint, but I'm 3w3d, so I'm hoping things will darken up I'm 30, DH is 31 and this will be baby #2. Our daughter was born 5/2014, and I'm still super involved in my May14 TB group (although we moved the party over to facebook). I'm hoping to make some great friends here, too! Some of my real life best friends are bump friends from my dd's bmb. I'm nervous and excited - I worry that lightening can't strike twice with 2 healthy, easily conceived pregnancies, but I'm certainly praying it does. H&H 9 months to everyone!
Hi! Mommy to DD Nov14 and super happy for another November baby. I'm 39 next week and DH is 43. I'm due Nov 1 so we just made the cut. Can't, for the life of me, enter all of this on the spreadsheet from my phone (I plea old age). I'll try from my desktop in the morning. Excited for all of the moms and I agree with the post above- we want sticky babies!!
Hi, First time mom! I'm 26, DH is 28. Estimated due date is November 2nd. I got my first bfp Sunday and then promptly took five more tests over three days. DH and I are so very excited for this baby. I'm no longer a ballerina as my user name would suggest, it's a hold over from five years ago on the knot. I am still obsessed with owls. I've never really participated in an online community but thought I should dive in to this one since this is all foreign to me.
Congratulations to all you ladies! I'm thrilled to get to know you.
Hi! I got my BFP yesterday. Official due date is Nov 5th, but with my previous pregnancy, my doc said I'd probably deliver 3 weeks early due to lack of space in my uterus for the baby to flip itself over properly. So I'll be hanging here and in the October BMB.
TTC since January 2015 3/15/2015 BFP! 4/15/2015 MMC 2/25/2016 BFP! Hoping for the best!
Hello! I got my BFP this morning. I'm 27 and DH is 26. This will be our third child and based on my last period I'm due Nov. 3rd. I have two boys. DS1 was born in May 2013 and DS2 was born August 2014. DS2 was a emergency csection at 36 weeks due to being breach and dilated to 6. I'm attempting a vbac this go around but I live in a small town so I have to travel over an hour for a doctor who does them. I have a history of quick labor as DS1 was born only 2.5 hours after water broke and I had minimal contractions before that so I'm very nervous. Any advice from vbac moms is welcome! I used The Bump with DS1 but the group had a lot of drama and major trolls so I took a break with DS2. I'm hoping we can avoid some of that, although I know getting a bunch of hormonal women in one place is bound to have some drama
Good morning! Got a BFP a couple days ago,but was in denial because it was so faint. Got a positive on a digital so I'm believing it now. This will be baby number 3. I have 2 boys ages 4 and 3. According to LMP I'm due October 30th so I might go to both boards till I get first ultrasound. I tend to be a lurker, but I enjoy reading everyone's experiences and might have something more to give this 3rd time around.
Hello! I got my BFP yesterday and this will be baby number 2! My husband and I have a two year old son who was also a November baby, so if we have another boy we're set on clothes. I was mostly a lurker on the Nov13 board before I had my son and I felt like I missed out, so I want to get involved early here! Like @talkthewholetime I'm nervous and excited - I too have a hard time trusting that things can go well twice in a row, but I spent most of my last pregnancy anxious that things would go wrong Since this will most likely be our last, I want to enjoy this pregnancy and not spend my energy worrying about what I can't control. I'm excited to be a part of this group and I'm wishing us all H&H pregnancies!
Hi everyone! I'm BelcherEars. I'm 27 years old and DH is 33 years old. This will be my first pregnancy and (hopefully) our first child. I got a BFP this past Monday at 11DPO, so it's still early for me. I am very excited but also nervous. AF is currently due to start today, so every little twinge and cramp has me on edge. I do think I'm doing a little better though, as today is literally the first day this week I haven't POAS lol. Anyways, if everything is going well by this coming Monday, I plan to call my OBGYN to get the ball rolling and ask for a beta hcg test. I believe my EDD will be November 3rd, but I'm not 100% on that as my FP tends to be a little longer. All that being said, congratulations to everyone on their BFPs! I'm looking forward to getting to know all you lovely ladies.

Hello ladies.... I'm new to this board but am an oldie on the bump. I have two sons, 5 and almost 3. I'm 35 (woah!) and my DH is 34. I went off the pill last year with the intention of being careful around O days... Well...here I am!! I am super excited after some initial mixed feelings. Im rooting for a girl since I'm out numbered at home! Based on when we conceived I'm due Nov 2nd. I look forward to our journey!!
Hi all! I'm new to this board but was formerly an O14 member. DH is 36, I'm 30, and our DD is 16 months. DH and I were on cycle 1 of NTNP - only 2 periods after DD and while still occasionally nursing her - so I'm a little surprised it happened so quickly, but still very excited! I'm due on November 1 so I might be straddling this board and the O16 board. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
I did make a bit of an intro post but I'll post in here too. I'm K. Almost 29. Hopefully this will end up #3 for us! I look to be due November 7th, but because of some known issues I'll be delivered sooner.
I'm a medical student and my husband, 35, works in automotive repair. We currently live near Toronto. Our kids are 9 (son) and 5 (daughter) and they have been begging for another sibling for years. We've been TTC for two years at this point and we are really, really hoping that this pregnancy works out.
@comealongponds I love your username so, so much. My daughter absolutely loves the Eleventh Doctor (I do too...) and for a while she'd call her brother by yelling 'come along, Pond!'

Hi everyone! I got my first positive test on Wednesday this week so I'm projecting my DD around the first week of November with conception on 2/9. I'll see my midwife on Wednesday next week to get confirmation (I'm for sure prego).
This will be my third pregnancy, my second was ectopic, and I gave birth to DD on 3/18/12. I'm still very involved with my March 2012 mamas and looking forward to getting to know all of you!!
Im Anneliese, 23 and I got my BFP yesterday at 9dpo! It will be my second child, DS was born June 2015. It will also be my 4th pregnancy so hoping it goes the way of Noah and not the others *fingers crossed* Got my Drs appt next Friday as I'm on thyroid medication so have to sort that out before anything else. Current due date is either 5th (by period) or the 8th (by ovulation)
I'm Juliet and I seem to be the Granny of the group at 42. Hubby is 45 and we've got two boys, 18 and 16. I'm excited and scared all at once. Hoping this one sticks!
Hi! I just tested positive today, but I've felt like shit for a solid week so I already knew. I'm 28, husband is 43. This is my (our?) first pregnancy, and I'm excited, scared, and kind of confused about what to actually do since I don't plan on telling people yet. According to the due date calculator, I am due Nov 2, 2016. edit: HOW CAN I REMOVE MY FULL NAME FROM THIS? This is the second time I've deleted my account in an attempt to fix it. Yes, I've tried editing on the knot as well.
Hi everyone! I'm so excited to finally be joining a bmb, I've been lurking on TTGP for the past seven months while TTC. I'm 32 and my SO is 36. I'm Irish, he's Italian and we live in Italy. This is our first pregnancy and I'm a lot more nervous than I thought I'd be. I've only gotten very faint positives on wondfos and I'm 17dpo so I'm kind of afraid to get my hopes up. But then again a line is a line! I'm looking forward to the next 9 months however, and all the exciting moments to come.
I'm 34, SO 39 TTC since July 2015 Unexplained infertility - delayed/weak ovulation but don't know why BFP Feb 2016 MC at 6.5 weeks Started Clomid November 2016 BFP March 2017 (third cycle on Clomid) HCG failed to rise, MC at 6 weeks. IUI July 2017 BFP which turned out to be CP IVF scheduled for Feb 2018
Hi all! I'm Gibbs! I'm 30 and DH is 31. This is #2 for us. DS was August '13. We had a loss prior to DS, so we're crossing our fingers for this baby! According to last AF, we're due November 4th. Our BFP was very faint on Wednesday, but getting darker each day. Looking forward to the next 9 months with you ladies!
*TW loss mentioned* Hey all, I'm 27 and H is 29. We've been trying to conceive since April 2015 and have had 1 MC. I just got my BFP today, which should put me at a November 5th due date. I'm pretty sure of the day I conceived, which is putting my mind at ease a little bit. Last pregnancy, we had an early ultrasound that showed a lack of development, but I wasn't sure of my dates so it took a few more agonizing weeks of waiting for us to finally find out the bad news (which we found out because I started bleeding).
My reaction this morning was to be terrified even though this is what we've been hoping for, but I've had some time to process and now the excitement is really kicking in. I hope I get to stick around this time.

Hi everybody! I have a 14 month old son, wasn't very involved on his bmb but would like the support this time around. I'm 31 and my husband is 29. We had three miscarriages before our son so very nervous for everything to go smoothly. After the third miscarriage I saw an re and had lots of testing but he couldnt find out why exactly I miscarried. He put me on femera to have my son and than progesterone suppositories when I got pregnant. When I told my ob a couple months ago I was going to start trying he wanting to try without the femera because of having a successful pregnancy so hope everything goes well! I will call him on Monday since I just got a positive to see about progesterone. Excited to go on this journey with everyone!
I intro'd yesterday but my screen name change hadn't gone through yet and I didn't even notice - can I blame that on pregnancy brain yet? I was previously kyakel. Sorry for the confusion!
I'm 25 and DH is 26. We've had a rough year but we are happy to be here. We found out May 2015 that we were expecting and then at about 12 weeks we found out we had a MMC which resulted in a D&C. We took 2 months off and have been trying since. I wasn't super involved in my BMB, but I would like to be more involved this time around.
I just got my BFP yesterday afternoon. Last cycle I did Clomid but had some blood pressure issues after my last cycle so my dr wanted us to take a break while we got my blood pressure under control and it happened! (And my BP is under control!) anyway, I am pretty nervous but we pray that this little bean will be healthy.
Hey y'all. I'm 24, hubby is also 24. He's in the military so we're really far away from family and this is our second pregnancy (first was miscarriage though) so it's scary and exciting for us. I'm so nervous after what happened with our last.
I found out 2(?) days ago and we haven't told anyone yet, I haven't even missed a period yet. Once I miss, I'll make an appointment and after the blood test I think we'll tell our family then everyone else. Praying this is our rainbow!
Hey ladies! So excited to be here. I'm 31 and hubby is 37. We have a wonderful son in heaven who was stillborn at 37 weeks at the end of September. I'm still in a great deal of shock I'm here so soon. It took us over 4 years to conceive or son and only 2 months for this little bean! I'm due November 1st but already know I'll be induced a week early so technically I'll be having an October baby.
I was a major lurker on the oct15 board but hoping I'll be able to be more active this time around.
Hi! I'm Angie. I just turned 31, and H is 32. DS was born 7/2013, and we tried for 3 months this time around. Based on LMP, I'm sure 11/2, but will be a repeat c/s so I may end up on the October board. I found out at 3.5 weeks because I tested early, so I've already known for a week.
Hi! I'm not new in any way to TB, but this account is new due to some, mental instability we'll call it, amongst some former BMB members. So for now, I'll keep some details vague until I'm comfortable again.
I'm 31, and my BF is 36. This will be our 4th child. Although we had one loss before our first son. It appears that I'm due November 10th. I'm still letting it all sink in haha. I look forward to getting to know you guys. Also, I'm very, very sarcastic by nature. Sorry in advance.
