Hi everyone! I am 32 and DH is 33. We have been trying since the end of 2014. We just went through IUI #1 after having my tubes unblocked. Due date is Nov 26. Our first beta is Saturday. HH 9 months to all!
Hello everyone! My name is Lara and this is baby #3 for dh and I. My due date is Nov. 9th, we have not had a first OB appointment yet. I delivered DD#1 via c-section due to low amniotic fluid and her breach position. DD#2 was a successful VBAC. I am terrified of what it is going to be like to have 3 little ones! I hope to get to know some of you in the coming months
I'm B! I'm 28 and DH is 33. Newest baby is due 11/12/16 as far as I know until my ultrasound. This is my 5th pregnancy-2 losses, DS born January 2013, and DD born November 2014. I've been on the Bump before but never got involved in any boards. First appointment in 1 week and so excited to meet the newest member of our family!
Hi all. My name is Sara and I am not good at introductions at all. Heh. I'm 28 and my fiancé Tommy is 30. We weren't actively trying to conceive, but were not trying to stop it either. Got our BFP last Thursday! This is our first, and we are just balls of emotion right now! He is very excited to be a stay at home dad. EDD according to LMP is 11/24 and I 1.) hope this is a very sticky baby, and 2.) can't wait to meet them!
hi everyone! I'm 35, h is about to turn 37 and we've been married for 6 years as of 3/27.
September 2011 I found out I was pregnant when I was at work and started to have tremendous abdominal pain. I was rushed to the hospital only to be told I was pregnant but it was ectopic. I eventually had to get surgery on Nov 4 because the methotrexate shot did not work and I was bleeding internally. I had to have surgery and my right fallopian tube was removed. After 4 long years of trying naturally (not having the money to do ivf) I'm ecstatic (mostly scared) to say I'm 5 weeks pregnant due November 17!!! We have 12 first nieces and nephews that I've watched and helped cared for since I was 17 and can't believe it's finally my turn!! This is gonna be the best 9 months of my life!
Hi all. I'm 28 and SO will be 31 next month. We didn't exactly try for this. In fact, dr.s told him he had less than a 10% chance of having a baby, and with all the usual being careful stuff we are stunned. We're still trying to find a doc in our network so we can get the first look at our little bean.
Im not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not.. This'll be my first pregnancy for my husband and I. We've had some complications which have been stressful at the beginning of my pregnancy. However, the doctor said everything looks fine so far but he can't really tell anything because the baby is so small right now. All of our family and close friends know and we are excited to be having the baby! I just want to wish all of you a happy pregnancy and I'm thrilled to start this journey with you all!
Hi everyone! I'm 34 and DH is 33. We got our BFP yesterday due date November 20th. This will be our 4th and final little turkey. We have 3 girls, and we are waiting to hear back about purchasing our first home!!! Lots of exciting news this month!! Can't wait to take this journey with all of you!! *edited to fix spelling lol

Hi everyone! So happy to be joining the November group. Baby is expected around the 15th of Nov. I'm 36 and will be 37 when baby is born, DH is 38. We tied the knot in October '13. We have one DD who is 15 months, though this is my third pregnancy. Being a mom is the greatest gift that has ever been given to me. When she was born, I spent the first two weeks crying like a lunatic because, "I felt so lucky." I suppose having a prior loss can do that to you.
Hi Ladies - so this is my first pregnancy. Kinda freaking out a little filled with all sorts of different emotions. I'm 30. Haven't really figured out all of your abbreviations just yet so bare with me as I'm trying to navigate my way through this process. Thought it would be great to go through this process with others. Can't believe I'm only 4w 2d and I have all symptoms. Cramping, twinges,pinches, sheer exhaustion, sore boobs just kicked in yesterday and continuing into today etc. Thought it would be too soon to experience all this but it's sounding not uncommon. Still can't believe I'm expecting. Eve though I feel like my uterus is a little factory right I still can't connect mentally with it just yet.
I've never joined one of these groups before. This is my 4th pregnancy, due date of 11-25-16. I've used the bump for the typical "how big is baby?" Stuff but never anything else. I have no idea what all these abbreviations mean. So I'll just say I have 3 girls (4.5, 3, 1.5). I'm 30 and my husband is 36. Let the ride begin.

I don't know how to use this thing. Was just going to say we are in the same boat! Due 11-25. 4th kid. 3 girls already. Congrats.
Hi, I am 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I have my first Dr visit and ultrasound tomorrow! We haven't told anyone, because our last 2 pregnancies ended in miscarriages and both on Easter. So, since it is the same time frame we are waiting to share after we see the baby is growing and the little heartbeat. This time we are farther along and the Dr had me on Clomid. I know the Lord is good and all is well! I look forward to seeing all your posts on this exciting journey!
I'm 4w2d, just found out a couple days ago and called this morning and my first appointment is scheduled for April 26th. I am over the moon excited right now. DH and I had been trying for 8 months for #2. DD just turned 3 in January. I can't wait to share the news with her just not sure when to yet. She's been telling me for months that she wants to be a big sister. But anyways, hope for a happy and healthy 9 months for everyone
This will be our third baby and is due on our oldest son's 4th birthday. I was diagnosed with PCOS while TTC DS1 and did IUI to become pregnant. Then DS2 was an unmedicated BFP after I weaned at 12 months. The boys are 22 months apart.
This pregnancy was also unmedicated, even though a few months ago, an u/s showed that my ovaries were still very polycystic. We consider ourselves very lucky that we didn't have to go through treatments to achieve pregnancy again.
Every other night, I have a stress dream about being overwhelmed with three kids. I work full time (and love my job) and while I'm completely overjoyed to be pregnant again, I honestly fear how it's going to be to have a 4 year old, 2 year old, and newborn. I know some of you must be in the same boat.
Looking forward to having this community!
DX PCOS Jan 2012 IUI #1 Feb 2012= DS1 born 11/2012 Unmedicated BFP (first post-weaning cycle)=DS2 born 9/2014 Unmedicated BFP (first post-weaning cycle again)= EDD 11/2016
Hi! I just got my BFP last night and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ashley and I am married with a 15 month old son. I checked my due date with this one on an online due date calendar (based off the date I'm pretty sure they were conceived, since my cycle is really long) and am due November 30th. So I might really be a December 2016 mom, but we will see I love old BM board so I'm excited to get involved in this one!
ETA: I'm fully aware my username isn't spelled correctly. It was originally on purpose so I could have the Norwegian name, but now I realize that was stupid...
Hi ladies, I'm 7 weeks 4 days. I'm 36 and this is my first.
We were shocked that I got pregnant on my first cycle off the pill. In my late 20's I tried with my ex for over a year with no success. I didn't have high hopes for getting pregnant at all considering my age and history. That it happened right away (and that it happened at all) was such an amazing surprise.
I've had one doctors appointment but since it was so early it was just a lot of blood testing and confirming that I am in fact pregnant. I go back next week for a full pregnancy exam and I'm really hoping to get my first ultrasound appointment soon. I want to see my baby and the heartbeat and confirm that everything is okay.
Hello everyone! Just found out DH and I are expecting baby #2. About 6 weeks along. We have a DS born in November 2013. I had Cholestasis or ICP my first pregnancy. If I repeat then I probably won't be a November mommy but fingers crossed it doesn't happen again! i work as a makeup artist and I loved the support I received from these boards with my first baby.
Baby #1 is confirmed after multiple IVF trials and tribulations! Currently 8w1d, the champ has a robust h//b of 170 and measuring 1.79 cm. Due date was confirmed as Nov 1. So I might lurk both October and November forums ha ha.
******************************************************************************************************************************************************** Me - 33 (as of 2016) - Hysteroscopy prior to IUI attempts to remove a couple of polyps. DH - 35 DH tested in 2012 with abnormal morphology and low motility. Bi-lateral varicocele diagnosed with US. Surgery to fix varicocele diud not yield any positive results. IVF#1 (GnRH Antagonist protocol with Follistim, Menopur, Ganirelix and 10,000IU HcG trigger) 8 eggs retrived, 4 mature and fertilized via ICSI, 2 day-3 six-cell embryos implanted - beta < 8, BFN
IVF#2 (Long-Lupron or Down-regulation cycle with Follistim, Menopur and Lupron) - Almost had OHSS. 17 eggs retrieved, 11 mature and fertilized with ICSI, 4 Day-3 6- and 8- cells. Implanted 2 8-cells on day 3 and let others mature to day 5. beta <15, BFN. 2 embroys ceased at cell compaction on Day 4 and were discarded.

2/23 BETA#1 10dp5dt - 247! Look great but DH cautions against expectations since it could also be chemical pregnancy(boo!) 2/25 BETA#2 12dp5dt - 604. Per betabase.info, the doubling time is 37.21 hours. 3/9 U/S#1 (6w2d) - Yolk sac and heartbeat!!! Woo hoo!!! 3/23 U/S#2 (8w1d) - Fetal length measuring 1.79cm. Heart beat 170bpm. Sounded like a little steam engine! Due date November 1, 2016
Hello, all! I'm 31, DH and I have been married for 8 years, and this is my second pregnancy. The first one ended in December after a missed MC. I'm 5w pregnant with an EDD of 11/23/2016. We are feeling cautious, but I think it will be more real if everything looks normal at the first ultrasound (scheduled April 21).
I've told only two people, my sister and my best friend, and plan not to tell too many more until after the ultrasound. Not even parents because our mothers can't keep news like that in.
I haven't had major symptoms - just some slight nausea, sore boobs, and cramping. My mom and twin sister didn't have many either in their pregnancies so I'm hoping I'm the same.
Can anyone clue me in on all the falling animal gifs in people's signatures?
Hey all. Got my BFP a week ago. I'm 4 weeks 3 days today. This is my third child. I have an August 2010 boy (OG bump month wadduuuupppp) and an early April 2012 girl (she was born in March, that crazy girl). This was our quickest conception. Our boy took 14 months of TTC, our girl was 6 months, and this new bun happened on our second cycle, but I ovulated super late on CD 30. I'd written this cycle off so I was pleasantly surprised when my whim to take a test came back positive! WEEEE
Hi! I'm Alisha, 27 and expecting #3.....eeeeek! I have a son who will be 3 in May and a daughter who is 14 mo. So we have a very intuitive dog who has been following me around constantly for the last few days, driving me crazy. He did the same thing before I knew I was expecting my first, so when I told my hubby that the dog was being a pest he goes "are you pregnant??"... the combo of that, and waking up queasy a few nights in a row led me to take a test this afternoon and yep instantly 2 dark blue lines....This is not expected but we are happy and quite excited...and scared... nervous.... they're all so close, this'll be a wild ride
Hi everyone, I am so excited to finally be able to post this! After 2 years of TTC, DH and I are expecting baby #1 following our first round of IVF. According to my RE, I am 4 weeks and 4 days and my due date is 11/27. I don't have many symptoms yet but looking forward to them as weird as that sounds. I'm excited to get to know you all!
Hi everyone! I'm Kala I am 26 (almost 27) and my husband is 26. This is our first baby and we are both very excited and nervous. We had been TTC for a year and had an appointment scheduled to talk about fertility with my PCP and then got a BFP three weeks before the appointment. My due date is Nov 9, so I am 7 weeks right now and have my first OB appointment April 15! Really anxious to see and hear the baby's heartbeat!
@kmcp4 - my dog's name is Kala! I'd never seen that spelling before DH picked it out for the pup (after the character from Ninja Turtles). Too cool! Welcome!
@MrsKesell3 I would be lying if I said no. I've always considered myself a boy mom.. before we had any kids I always assumed I would have one boy. But our 3 girls are amazing and so while a boy would be great, a 4th girl is more than welcome! We didn't have a 4th trying for a boy. If we knew going into it that no matter what we would have all girls we would still have gone for 4! How about you?
Finally I can leave a reply Hello my name is Caitlin and this is my first pregnancy. I am 24 and 7 weeks pregnant. Due date is November 8th. My Husband and I are truly blessed.
@Jmccabe12210I've had cholestasis in my 4 previous pregnancies. I'm pretty much guaranteed it will happen again. Hoping you don't get it this time around.
Hello all! I got my surprise BFP this week after turning all of my OPKs positive for 7+ days in a row and getting pissed that I hadn't ovulated yet. I thought I had my period a few weeks ago, but apparently it wasn't! I'm guessing I'm about 6 weeks along, due on the 17th. I have an almost 2year old at home and I'm really excited to see him become a big brother!
Jumping in now that I've had my first prenatal appointment under my belt. I'm 31, DH is 35. We have a 15 month old DD. I had my first prenatal appointment today and was told I'm having twins! We're very excited but very nervous. I, luckily, had a fairly easy pregnancy with my DD, but have no idea what to expect now that it's twins. I'm about 6w along but they may end up with an October birthday depending on how the end goes. Looking forward to being a part of this bmb.
Hi everyone! I'm 31 and expecting my first. As of now, due November 6th but that could change based on US. I have PCOS and its been a long journey to convince but we are thrilled and praying for strong heartbeat on Thursday for first US!
Hello! Joining in here! Got a positive two days ago. We have 3 kids, my two daughters, his son, and this is our first together. Had a loss in January, being a little more cautious this time.
Re: *Introduce Yourself Here*
My name is Lara and this is baby #3 for dh and I. My due date is Nov. 9th, we have not had a first OB appointment yet. I delivered DD#1 via c-section due to low amniotic fluid and her breach position. DD#2 was a successful VBAC.

I hope to get to know some of you in the coming months
