@BumpCaitlin @BumpAdmin @BumpTaracan we please make this a sticky?

Welcome to the December 2016 birth month board! Introduce yourself here!

juliehollz13 · March 2016

Hi!

*TW*

We've been TTC for a while and had a CP in October. My LMP was Feb. 22nd but I ovulated a little late so my EDD is 12/1/2016, and am staying cautiously optimistic and terrified! I am currently on progesterone suppositories and am 3w3d along. I got a FAIINNTTTT positive at 8dpo that looked like an evap, a super faint at 9dpo w/ a negative on the digital, and a faint posititve today at 10dpo but with a positive on the CB digital. Excited and anxious! Can't wait to get to know everyone! H&H 9 months everyone!

Hello.

I'm 37, DH is 38 we live outside Philadelphia with our three fur babies (2 Labradoodles & a cat).

I got my BFP today at 11dpo. Squinter on a wondfo confirmed with FRER. This was my third round of clomid. I'll call the RE tomorrow if I POAS & it is darker than this morning to get in for some betas this week.

***TW previous losses**** This is my third BFP. I had 2 MC in 2015. Hoping for my rainbow baby.

H&H9 to all!!

SmashJam · March 2016

Hey all! I'm 30 dh 35, got my bfp yesterday at 14 dpo, but also got my period the 15th of March. Bfp again today and less faint. Not keeping my hopes up but if continues to be positive, due date would be in December. Looks like we're all in the waiting game right now!

lrg14 · March 2016

Hey Everyone!

I'm 28, DH is 29. We started TTC #1 April 2015. By October, I had only had 2 cycles and was in the middle of a 100+ day cycle. I saw by doctor and learned that I have hypothyroidism (no other symptoms). Once I started on Synthroid, my cycles became more regular and much shorter.

I had a very faint BFP on Saturday at 9dpo and was able to confirm with a CB digital at 10dpo. Yesterday was DH's birthday so it was the perfect time to tell him!

I wish everyone a happy and healthy 9 months!

Shwee25 · March 2016

Hello everyone!! TTGP grad here! Happy to see a couple fellow grads already!!

ssublett09 · March 2016

Hello Everyone!

I am 25 years old and DH is almost 28, we have one DD who is 2.5. We we have been TTC since December and had a loss in Janurary... Staying positive this time around and hoping for a sticky baby.

Im a little nervous because i got my BFP 5 days dpo. I had been doing the OPK and had dark positive lines on the 13th and they have stayed dark. I went to the dr on the 15 because I was having mid cycle spotting that I didn't know what it was and I tested negative there but then on the 17th (5 DPO) I got my BFP... The line keeps getting darker but I'm confused about my conception day so we will see!

H&H 9 months to all!

FiancB · March 2016

Hello! Got a bfp this morning at 10 dpo. I'm surprised I'm more excited than scared because I had a MMC in November. Due December 3! Hoping this is a sticky one, same for everyone else.

MrsBinPA · March 2016

@FiancB Yay!! Glad to see you here. I think we were in the same previous BMB FX for rainbows for us both!!

Sugargirl1019 · March 2016

**Lurking from TWW**

@FiancB sneaky sneaky! Congrats! Best wishes for you!

sammyl1221 · March 2016

Hello Ladies!!!!!!!!!

I definitely did not expect to be here!! We got some pretty earth shattering news earlier in the month that my DH SA came back with low motility and low morphology -my dr. pretty much explained to us that fertility treatments/iui would be our next step. Well I guess my DH's sperm didn't like the sound of that! I took a test last night and BAM- BFP!!! I took a digital this morning and it was also BFP! My EDD is 12/3.

I am sooooo happy to be here!! Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 9 months!!!!

Congratulations @sammyl1221. We have similiar DX's, timelines and stories! we were planning for an IUI next month too. Did they already adjust your thyroid meds? I'm going to go get them checked this week, I've been trying to find out how high your dosage is usually adjusted during pregnancy.

sammyl1221 · March 2016

Hi @juliehollz13 ! Congrats girl!!!! I am actually going to my dr tomorrow for blood work. I'm going to discuss it tomorrow with her and see what she says. I've read they monitor you slightly more and do more blood work and adjust your meds when they see fit. I'll let you know what she says!

LakinL · March 2016

Hey Ladies!!!! Congratulations! DH and I got our bfp at 10 dpo. We live in Louisiana with our 5 1/2 yr old little girl and our 3 fur babies. (1 dog, 2 cats) Very Excited/Hopeful/Nervous High risk pregnancy due to Factor 5 Leiden Mutation. (Anyone else having to do heparin injections or any other type of blood thinners?) Had a MMC in 2015. EDD is on Dec. 2. Will be going for blood work & doc this week. Hoping this is a sticky one and same for all of you!

I'm also hypothyroid and take Levothyroxine/Synthroid. I called by OB yesterday and the nurse said they would wait to check my thyroid levels at my first appointment (April 6th), and make adjustments as needed. I just recently had them checked, though, and they were pretty low so I feel like that gives me a buffer.

sammyl1221 · March 2016

@lrg14That's a good way to think about it! My dr also said a few weeks ago mine were exactly where she wanted them - I'm actually in the Drs office now waiting for blood work. The nurse said maybe they will do an ultrasound! I know it's probably too early to see anything but as my husband says underpromise, over deliver!

juliehollz13 · March 2016

@lrg14 & @sammyl1221 same here. i last had my levels checked a month ago and they were at 2.73 and they doubled my levothyroxine dose a couple weeks ago to try to get it to 2-2.5 so probably too soon to adjust my levels or even see a change from the dose adjustment but I'm getting them checked just in case, and of course at my first appt as well.

MamaWino · March 2016

Hi ladies! I got my bfp yesterday at 9dpo, which puts me due 12/4. I'm definitely a little nervous, as I had an early loss in Dec and I'm getting old. According to OBs and REs anyway, but what do they know? Lol. This was my second medicated cycle. I started testing 5 days ago to test out my trigger and it was just about gone 2 days ago at 8dpo. Tests have gotten darker ever since so it seems legit but I'm still skeptical. I go back to my RE on Monday for blood work. I don't think I'll be fully convinced until I get my betas.

I have two little girls, ages 3 1/2 and almost 2 (her birthday is Friday) and am so excited for 3.0. Crossing everything and praying to all the gods that it sticks.

I haven't been on the bump in almost 3 years and it looks so weird to me! Everything is so different. I'm part of two incredible birth month groups that originated here though and I hope this board develops into the same!

sammyl1221 · March 2016

@juliehollz13 My doctor called this afternoon and we are very much pregnant! My hcg is at 186 and my progesterone was at 82. My doctor prescribed progesterone to take once a day. I asked her why and she said she sometimes she likes to prescribe it to help strengthen the uterine lining. At the ultrasound she said my uterine lining looks perfect. I just don't want to start taking something that I might not necessarily need. Did your dr say anything else? I wonder if it helps because we are hypothroid.

JLWalker2 · March 2016

Hey everyone! I'm Julie and I got my BFP this morning!! My expected due date is December 3rd and I cannot wait!! My husband and I entered into this year with a "whatever happens, happens" mindset. We didn't really try to get pregnant in January and February but weren't trying to prevent either. March was the month we tried and I can't believe it happened so soon!! I'm definitely looking forward to the adventure ahead!!!

princesslockness · March 2016

Hello Ladies!!!
Another TTGP grad.
I just turned my BFP this morning. I'm not sure if I'm 10dpo or 13dpo, as FF moves my CH depending on which method. Either way I'm due 12/1-12/4.
H is 22, I am 26.
He works for a landscaping company, and I teach science at the local middle school. Together we have 3 furbabies who live with us, a great dane FIL has borrowed for company, and a wonderful DS L who is almost 8 months.
@julliehollz13, @MrsBinPA, @FiancB Nice to see some names I recognize.

BmcD2016 · March 2016

Hi! Just got my positive like 1 hour ago. I'm still in shock. We have 3 children already from 12 years old to 4. We were planning on starting to try in April after our January loss, but I guess now we don't have to! We're due December 9th, but we'll have a c-section November baby probably.

I really wasn't even thinking I was pregnant one bit, but decided to test since I never started today and had no symptoms of that happening either.

Shwee25 · March 2016

Yay @Kate08Young !! Welcome!!

princesslockness · March 2016

Thank you!!! @Shwee25

MirandaM16 · March 2016

Hello all! Im 24, husband is 28 and this will be our first child. I just got off of birth control last month and got a very faint positive this morning (13 dpo). I still am weary, but after doing my research, a faint positive is still a positive! Going to the doctor on 3/30 to get a confirmation and make sure everything is good to go! Excited!! Expected due date would be 12/2!

@sammyl1221 Dang! My progesterone was 20 and then 18.6 and my RE said that I should keep taking progesterone that i'm already on but my numbers are higher than they typically see. Are you getting beta's done? If so maybe ask them to check it again to make sure it's not going down, sometimes progesterone can drop a little but holy crap that's a high P4 number! What level of levothyroxine are you on? I know that good thyroid levels help progesterone production, but there's really no such thing as "too high" progesterone.

sammyl1221 · March 2016

@juliehollz13
I don't think I had a beta done. I do go back tomorrow for a follow up (they said its standard after the initial bloodwork to come back 48-72 hours later to make sure the numbers are increasing)

I am going to ask then about the progesterone. I only have to do one in the morning. For synthroid I take 50mcg daily. My dr. did say she is going to continue to monitor it and adjust it throughout the pregnancy.

mamakaiser · March 2016

My name is Amanda and I'm a sahm of 2 girls and married on our family farm. Last October I had an eptopic with loss of my right tube in surgery at 10 weeks and on Halloween morning. Now been trying since January and this morning I got a vfp on a test and my nurse said to do blood work next wed. And fri.

princesslockness · March 2016

@mamakaiser Welcome! I hope we can make this a fun BMB. Also, we on the bump typically don't use pee sticks for our pictures.

JulieSmiles · March 2016

Hello! I'm Julie. I'm December 3, but will probably deliver in November due to some issues during my previous delivery. I have an almost 2 year old little girl who is absolutely amazing!

LCRbelle · March 2016

Hi ladies!
I'm cautiously but optimistically joining y'all. I have had losses in the past so it's hard to get too excited just yet. My doctor diagnosed me with antiphospholipid syndrome and this is my second month on baby aspirin. I am supposed to see a hematology specialist on April 4th but not sure what they can do if I'm already pregnant! I had a very very faint positive yesterday at 11 DPO and took two tests this morning that were definitely darker. My EDD is December 4th. I just turned 28 and my DH will be 35 next month. We don't have any children together, but he has a 13 year old daughter. I hope to be able to stick around and look forward to getting to know everyone!

marg1046 · March 2016

Hi everyone!!!!

I am new to all of this - All of the "lingo" is a first for me... I am 28 and my DH is 35. We've been trying for about 6 months now and this morning I got my first BFP! We're both first time parents-to-be so there's a lot of different emotions going on. Congratulations to all of you and I hope nothing but the best for you all!

Shwee25 · March 2016

@BumpAdmin @BumpTara @BumpCaitlin Sticky??

please simba lion king

LucyGoose8710 · March 2016

Hi ladies! I'm so happy and a little surprised to be joining you this month - it took almost a year to conceive my first child, and this was our first month trying for #2! I'm 30, DH 28 (yup, cradle robber). We have a two year old son born Sept 2013 and new LO is due around 12/1/16. H&H 9 months to you all!

cayaylonglegs · March 2016

Good morning ladies! I am 27 and DH is 30. We have been trying to conceive since Jan 2014. Found out back in July that DH has azoospermia. We began our first IVF cycle in March. I got my BFP yesterday! I've been incredibly nauseous due to the daily progesterone injections but I've never been so excited to be sick in my life!

I go for beta on Monday. EDD 12/6! Can't wait to share this journey with you ladies!

capps42613 · March 2016

Hi ladies! I'm 28 & DH is 35. We've been happily married for the past 3 years and TTC ever since. This will be our first child together, as I have a DD from previous relationship. Just received our BFP from our 1st IVF cycle. EDD 12/5. H & H 9 months to all!!!

@cayaylonglegs same situation here! I also have low AMH & only retrieved 6 eggs, 2 fertilized, and we implanted both @ day 3. I'm 9dp3dt today, Beta= Tuesday. GL to you!

agu1414 · March 2016

Hello ladies

I am 26 and DH is 28. We have been trying since November 2013. We had 2 miscarriages in august and December 2015. So far so good on this pregnancy but we thought that last time at this point too. We're trying our hardest to remain optimistic. We found out Wednesday and had a blood hcg test thursday...result was 421 at 11dpo. Just had my second test this morning and waiting for results. My birthday was yesterday and this will truly be the best gift ever. Please let this little one stay with us

PrettyPalomino · March 2016

Hi all! I'm 28, DH is 29, we've been trying since october 2015 (TTGP grad), got BFN's 9 and 11 DPO, and today my temp went up so I tested again even though I thought for sure I was out. Bright BFPs on an internet cheapie and on a FRER! SO happy! EDD is December 1st

MamaWino · March 2016

@cayaylonglegs, I see my RE for betas on Monday, too! FX for good numbers for both of us!

JulieSmiles · March 2016

@LucyGoose8710 My daughter is Lucy and we call her Goose. I'm going to think of her whenever I see you post!

crystalmir91385 · March 2016
