Hi Ladies, I would like to tentatively introduce myself. I just got my first ever BFP this morning... it was faint but on 2 different types of tests so I'm pretty sure it's real! I've been over on TTGP lurking for a few months and actively participating this past month. I would love to be a part of this board as well. We're about to have our 1st wedding anniversary and this will be our first child so we're both very excited. Due date according to FF is 11/16 but TB says 11/17 which is my mom's birthday so I'm going to go with that. Can't wait to get to know all of you!
@peachykeen17 I'll likely do that. I might pee on a couple more, then pass them along to my cousin with a disclaimer. It's funny, when I ordered the pack of 100 tests, my husband said "OMG we're not having 100 babies?" Uh, you use more than one test for each baby, smart guy.
I've probably been on The Bump longer than you have.
After 31 cycles, baby boy K (IUI) born 11/03/11
BFP (Femara) - 08/09/13 m/c around 6 weeks. xoxox Baby April
Just got my BFP this morning at 13dpo. I used to frequent TB 5-6 years ago when I was pregnant with my first two LOs. I have DS who is 5 and a DD who is 6 from my first marriage. I married my amazing DH this past November. He is 39 and I'm 32 and we live in Minnesota. This will be his first LO. Since this will likely be my last pregnancy I'm looking forward to cherishing every moment - the good and the not so good. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
I've actually used only wondfos and had really good experiences with them picking up bfp well before frer. My doctor didn't even believe I was pregnant because my wondfos picked up bfp the three days before my appt. and the test was barely positive at the doctors.
Hi All - This is baby #2 for my husband and I. Our DS was born in August 2014. My pregnancy and labor were difficult so I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am looking for a new high risk doctor and think I will feel better when I have that all lined up. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Yay! I'm also an August 2014 mother. Welcome!
ETA: And it looks like our due dates are the same!
Hey, so funny... I'm also an August 2014 mom. What is your due date this time around? I'm Nov. 4th.
Hi all! I'm due 11/7 I think! I was semi-active, mostly a lurker on my DS's bmb (June 14, though he was born in May 14) until the whole board went out in fiery blaze of glory due to bump admin drama. I'm a 1st year dental student and am happy to be joining up with you guys! I apologize if my siggy says I'm hundreds of weeks pregnant and my son is the size of a jackfruit etc etc, I'm mainly mobile so hopefully I'll get around to changing it someday soon
Hi everyone. I'm 30, husband 34. Still in a bit of shock that I'm pregnant as I was going to start seeing a fertility specialist this month (the only month in a year we weren't consciously "trying" it actually happened!!). Anyway, extremely excited but VERY nervous! Haven't been to the gynae yet but due date calculator says I'm due 7 Nov. Great to meet you all x
started bleeding on Monday, the same day I went to confirm pregnancy. Since DH is military I had to do a pee test to confirm before I could even see a ob, and then had to call for results several hours later. Spotting was very minimal, and I had spotted some during both pervious pregnancies, so I was extremely hopeful. I called during my lunch break and they said the test came back negative. Spotting picked up that day and pregnancy was obviously over during the next several days. We will try again and hopefully will be in December 2016 board. I've never experienced a mc before so I'm still in shock and disappointed.
I hope everyone else have happy and healthy pregnancies! ❤️
Hi ladies, my name is jenny im 28yr. I have a 3yr old little boy. We have been trying for baby #2 since last may. I found out that i was pregnant the end of October. I miscarried on December on 22nd at 11wk. I had to do two rounds of pills and a d&c i bleed from the end of December to the end of January. I hand the 7wk check up on Thursday from the d&c. I ask the doctor if i could do a pregnancy test. wasn't even late yet. But i new i was pregnant. Test came back positive im really excited and scared all at the same time.
Hello all! New here, been lurking on TTGP here and there. DH and I are both 29, got our first BFP Friday night, then 3 yesterday, one this morning.... we're both very excited as this is our first, but in shock too as we weren't expecting it to happen this cycle - just bought a house and put trying on the back burner, or so we thought.
Haven't been to the Dr. yet, but will be calling in the am to see what next steps are. I currently don't have an OB/GYN, just a PCP. Got our BFP on 3 FRER, a Clearblue digital and a cheapie stick. Due date calculator says 11/14, so I'm excited to see the doctor and confirm! Can't wait to get to know everyone!
Hello ladies! It's still very early for me, as well. I'm also part of the Aug '15 group. Yes, you read that correctly, I have a 6 month old! Good times I'm a 27 year old teacher and my husband is a 31 year old mechatronics engineer and we live in good ol' Nebraska. We're excited about the pregnancy, just a little nervous about having pregnancies so close. Hoping for the best!

My oldest was 7 months when I got pregnant with my second so I understand. It actually wasn't too bad but my oldest is almost three now so I may have blocked out all the bad parts
My name is Jess. I'm 30 and my DH is 38. We have a beautiful 3.5 year old daughter, who we conceived naturally. After 18 months TTC and some hurdles along the way, we found out our first IVF cycle was successful and our next baby is due approximately November 8th. We are so excited to embark on this journey and I look forward to getting to know all of you ladies!
Hello loves!!! I'm Heather. This is my second pregnancy, i miscarried in October the baby was still little cells around the 5 week mark but we should have veen 9 weeks and as much as it was devastating it confirmed that I want this more than anything. We kept trying and today we've had the amazing news that our luck is in again, I'm so excited and proud of my body for recovering. I'm keeping everything crossed that this one sticks and come November I'll be a mammy!!
@hippiegirl884 I am so sorry for your loss. Something similar happened to me last month. Best wishes as you heal and good luck when you are ready to try again.

I can't believe I can post here! Congratulations to you all! I've been chilling in the ttc boards for the past year and half after a very early m/c in 2013. I sort of became obsessed with becoming pregnant again after that, putting a lot of stress on my marriage, mind and body. This passed month I finally gave up and let go of my controlling nature. My mantra: it'll happen when its supposed to. Well, I guess it was meant to be, as confirmed my 2 BFPs this afternoon!
I keep having waves of excitement and complete terror. I'm scared to get too excited because of last time. I so hope this one is for real. Would love to spread the news, but very hesitant.
Looking forward to sharing this experience with you all
Hello everyone. I'm very, very, very cautiously introducing myself. My beta today at 10dpo was only 21, so I'm treading carefully. This is my 6th pregnancy. I have a 2 year old and I've had 4 C/Ps, M/Cs. They are all unexplained. We were all scheduled to start IVF next week when I got my period, but BAM! I'm pregnant It is very unexpected as this was the month we stopped trying and we took a break from medication, monitoring at the fertility clinic and IUI. So far I have some very mild symptoms. My breasts are itchy off/on and I have some mild nausea. I really hope I get to stay!
EDD is Nov 17th.

Hi everyone, I just had a positive test today. This is my third pregnancy, the previous two ended in MC, so I am naturally cautious about my excitement this time, though hopeful. Earlier last year, I was very active on TTGP but haven't been there for awhile, so I don't recognize any of you ladies but am looking forward to getting to know you!

Hello all! I was shocked but very happy to get a BFP today! This will be baby #2. DH and I are 29 and have a daughter born in October 2013. I am nervous but can't wait to meet this new little bundle who DH and I both agree will complete our family.
Hi everyone, I'm Kelly and tentatively joining this month's board. I'm 32 years old and my husband is 35. We have a daughter who just turned 3 and was conceived easily. Early last year, we started trying for #2 and discovered that my husband had a blockage due to a hernia surgery. After a failed reconstruction surgery and a round of IVF with one lone surviving slow growing embryo on day 5, we are pregnant and due Nov. 10th. I'm so excited but also very nervous as if this doesn't work we have to start from scratch all over again. Excited to join you all!

Looks like I go here! I'm 13 dpo and this is the third day I've had a faint bpf, so I am starting to believe it! This is my 2nd, DD was born July 14. I'm 37 (DH is 38) and had gone for fertility testing just last week for AMA, guess everything works fine! I haven't had a substantial AF since January so I'm guessing on my Due Date based on when I think I ovulated but that might change. Roughly November 17. Wishing everyone a healthy and sticky baby!
Hi Everyone! My name is Jill and I'm due with baby #2 on 11/5/16. My daughter is 2 1/2 and was a c-section so #2 will most likely be an end of October c-section as well. I was really involved in my September 2013 Bump group and am excited to be joining this group! I'm high-risk because I have a blood clotting disorder and have to use Lovenox shots daily during pregnancy, but everything worked out well with DD so I'm hoping this pregnancy goes smoothly as well!
Hey Everyone! I'm K (30) and DH is 31 and we got our SURPRISE BFP yesterday. We have a DD almost 3 and have been struggling TTC for about the past year (struggled with IF with DD#1 too). We were gearing up for our first IVF cycle next month after multiple failed IUI's and I noticed I was late. Took a test just to prove that we weren't pregnant (we had like a 3% chance of conceiving naturally) and BAM it was positive. Needless to say we are in UTTER SHOCK but so thrilled. Waiting to hear back for Beta #1 15DPO!!
Hi, we found out we are pregnant a week ago. We're both 30 and this will be our first child.
I had a bit of bleeding on Sunday afternoon so I've already had an exam, countless urine samples, blood test and an internal scan today. All ruled out ectopic (thank God). We could only see a sac on the scan but its where it should be at 5 weeks and returning for a scan in 2 weeks when we'll hopefully see more. Not the best start to my pregnancy but at least we know we're def pregnant and the NHS have been brilliant throughout.
Hi everyone! It's definitely still early, but I figured I would introduce myself to you, since I can't talk about this with anyone but my husband right now! I don't really know what any of the acronyms mean yet (I've been keeping the glossary handy), so I won't pretend by using any.
I'm 30... husband is 35. Tested positive on a First Response on 2/27 at exactly 4 weeks. This is our first pregnancy... we weren't necessarily trying, and I'm a little bit surprised it happened after only 1 full cycle after coming off the pill. I was terrified at first, but I'm getting more and more excited with each day. So far, symptoms have included cramping, sore boobs, fatigue, and some nausea (first bout with morning sickness was yesterday). My first appointment isn't until 3/31. and it seems like an eternity to wait for confirmation that all is well! Definitely not officially announcing anything until early May or so. Hardest secret ever!
Hope everyone else is doing well with their little apple seeds!

Hello all ! I am very scared to write anything on this board, i have been on Infertility board for sometime. I am 32 and DH is 33. We have been TTC for our first baby for over a year and somehow I got my BFP this friday. My beta#1 on Saturday was 48 and beta#2 is 132 (13dpo, I think) today. The nurse said that it progress well, but I am not sure if its lower than it is supposed to be. I will have my next beta test on Thursday. I was over the moon when I first saw those two lines. Now, that excitement fades away and I worry about everything, constantly nervous. This is our first BFP, I just want to enjoy this time. I hope I can relax soon.
Hi everyone! I'm so happy to be able to post after lurking these past few days. I'm 24 and I'm a birth doula. My husband is 29, and we're just about to celebrate two years of marriage. We live in California
We'd been planning to start TTC after our two year wedding anniversary, but I ovulated early in February and realized that we had one accidental exposure. A week later, I had a strong suspicion I was pregnant: bloated, constipated, dizzy, tired, boobs hurt, weeping at anything I would normally just find touching/sweet. Took a test 7 DPO, BFN; 9 DPO, ultra squinter; 10 DPO, faint positive; 11 DPO, confirmed with digital pregnancy test.
Since then my boobs have jumped a full cup size and continue to hurt, my lines on test strips have gotten darker, and I'm feeling more sleepy and inattentive than ever. I know everyone is so different but I really didn't expect for my brain to feel so different already! Normally I'm super type A and can be focused to a fault, but it's a real struggle to get anything done lately.
We are sooooo excited about our little baby and can't wait to see what this pregnancy has in store for us
I got my BFP a week ago today, from my calculations my due date is 11/8! We have one crazy 2 year old girl and are excited to give her someone to play with! I was on the dec 13 board but didn't participate a whole lot, hoping to jump in more this time and get to know you lovely ladies!!
@Zoefer - Oh my gosh! Congratulations! I remember seeing you on the IF board. Those numbers are good! As long as they keep doubling there's not much to worry about. It's so great to see so many of us who struggled for so long finally get our BFP!
Hi everyone, I'm moving in from TTCAL. I got my BFP this morning and don't get my betas til next week. At this point, I'm cautiously optimistic. I had a MMC at 10 weeks in December, but I already feel pregnant, so I'm going to live by the mantra "I'm pregnant today".
My H and I were married in August and started TTC when we got back from our honeymoon. I had a D&C so it took a bit for my body to be ready again, but all things considered it happened fast. I'm over the moon thrilled today and hope to be here with you all the next 9 months!! My due date should be November 18th.
