  Hi March '17 ladies!

  
  

  One month after getting the IUD out, in our first time TTC and we got our BFP on 7/1 (faint) and 7/3 for sure, with EDD of 3.15.17! I'm a bit shocked as I didn't anticipate it would happen this quickly! Haven't told DH yet as I want to do it in some creative way...I really want to catch his reaction on camera! (but then again, I don't know how long I can hold it in!). As a first time mom-to-be, I'm scared and overwhelmed now that the countdown really seems to be starting. Hopefully it will be a smooth journey for all of us! H&H 9 months!

  Due 3/17/17 with baby #2. I have a 2.5 yr old daughter and have been with my husband for 14.5 years, married for 6.5.
  
  I had a loss in May at 11 weeks, so I am also cautiously excited and happy to be back.

  Hello Everyone! My name is Tabitha I'm 31, my husband is Rick and we have a 9 mo son, Harrison and we live in MD. We are super excited about #2! I saw another mama call herself a "board lurker last time" that was me too. Definitely hope to be more participative this time!

  Hey all!
  
  Just got a BFP yesterday at what I believe to be 14 dpo. I have a daughter who will be two next month, and I was semi-active on the August 14 board under a different name. 
  
  Eta: due March 10th
  
  I live in TN, married for 7 years, and have a dog who is currently cuddled in bed with me. 
  
  I am a bit nervous because I am not feeling symptoms like I did with my first, boobs aren't sore and what not. I know it's still early but last time I never really worried because I always had at least one symptom going on. I guess only time will tell

  Hello everyone! My name is Melanie and my husband and I have been trying for a baby for the last 7 years!  We've gone through the gamut of fertility treatments from clomid to IUI's and finally moved on to IVF.  Our second round of IVF (transferring two absolutely perfect 6 day blastocycts) was finally successful, well so far as beta is tomorrow.  I've taken 7 pregnancy tests since Sunday (Dollar Tree, First Response, Clear Blue Digital) and they've all been positive with the lines getting darker each day and a "pregnant" on the digital.  From the online IVF due date calculator, my EDD is 3/16/2017, making me 3 weeks and 6 days today. I am beyond thrilled and shocked at the same time (and tired and crampy!)  I cannot believe this is finally happening!  I cannot wait for my beta tomorrow!  Congratulations and good luck to everyone on this board!  I am so happy for all of us!  Is there anyone else with a EDD of 3/16/17?  Almost St. Patrick Day babies!  I hope we have the luck of the Irish

  I am SOOOO excited to be here I can hardly stand it! I am 28, DH is 27 and we have a 5 year old son. We have been TTC for 4 years with only one BFP (an ectopic pregnancy February of 2013). I have PCOS and after 5 months of hormone treatments and one round of Clomid I got my BFP this morning!!!!!! DH and I still can't believe it. I'll blame all my excited crying on the hormones.  It's a MIRACLE!

  Just as a heads up -- I would recommend you remove the phrase that I put in bold above. It isn't used here on TB out of respect for loss moms who have had to cremate their babies.

  Hello ladies!
  I've been hesitant to post at first, but Beta #1 came in at over 300 yesterday, so I'm officially pregnant! We conceived via fertility treatment, Metformin + Trigger, +Estrogen + Progesterone, and it worked! This is our first medicated cycle since our first DD, who we also conceived via fertility treatments, she's now 4! I wasn't sure if age was going to play a factor this time, I'm now 36, but it worked again for us! We are so happy, I go for my repeat bloodwork tomorrow to ensure numbers are rising.  Preliminary dd is 3/14.
  
  SO happy to join you lovely ladies!!!!  I was part of the June 2012 BMB and we still are together (via fb) and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all as well!!

  Hello, so happy to be here but trying not to get ahead of myself. Today I got my BFP but my period isn't due until Monday. According to my last cycle I am 3 weeks 2 days due 3/20/17!
  
  This is my 3rd pregnancy. I have a beautiful little girl who was born 1/22/15. Then we got a BFP on 10/22/15 but lost it at 10 weeks on 12/1/15. So today's BFP leaves us very happy and hopeful for a sticky baby this round.
  
  My DH and I are both 37, which means we will be 38 when this rainbow baby enters this world.

  Hey everybody!
  
  I am a new TTGP grad and I'm so excited! I got my first BFP on 9 DPO on Tuesday and have been testing every day since. As soon as I turn a digital I will stop testing.... Hopefully. Because I've spent an outrageous amount of money on HPTs this week lol. 
  
  ETA: Woops I guess it would be good to have my EDD! It's 3/19/17 3+4 today, not very far along at all!
  
  Anyways! DH and I are both 25, soon to be 26 this summer We have three adorable fur babies, 2 dogs and 1 cat. We love football and all sports really and I am just so excited to get to know everybody on this board! Let's do this!
  
  Fingers crossed all those with previous losses have sticky sticky babies this time around

  Hi all. Im Sarah (27) from Wales (United Kingdom). My husband and I got married on June 11th 2016 and about 3 days prior to the wedding we decided to come off all contraception. I had expected it to take us a while but somehow we ended up with a BFP this week. We are super excited but did not expect this to happen so quickly for us. We have only just come back from honeymoon and are in the process of buying a house. According to my last period, EDD should be 10th March 2017. This will be our first child and we are so looking forward to it. Hubby works in I.T and I work as a Project Manager in Construction. We are both massive Ice Hockey fans despite it being relatively unknown in the UK. Looking forward to sharing this experience with you all x

  Hi everyone! Got my BFP on June 28 & my EDD is March 7, 2017. I'm step-mom to 2 kids but this is my first pregnancy! My husband & I are opting to not share the news until after the first trimester so I'm in this "alone" for now. I've been finding lots of great answers & tips on here so far - phew! I'm paranoid about everything (especially my minor cramping & ultra light bleeding/spotting) so I'm sure I'll be posting! Going in for my second round of blood work tomorrow, fingers crossed everything is good!

  Got a faint line on Sunday and forced myself to wait until yesterday to retest, so I'm thrilled to see my BFP! DH and I are both 29. My first baby was EDD early November, but we experienced a loss in May, so we are hoping this is a sticky baby! This baby's EDD is March 17 - St. Patrick's Day, the luckiest Day of the year! We are hoping some of that luck rubs off on this pregnancy . So happy to be on this journey with y'all!

  Hi all!  I am officially 4 weeks 5 days pregnant and got a positive test on day 4 after the transfer of a 5 day frozen embryo transfer! My first beta at the equivalent of  15dpo was 521, and three days later it was 1703! Our EDD is March 11th. 
  
  ***TW***
  
  This is our fourth pregnancy, after an early miscarriage and then a chemical pregnacy about three years ago, and a missed miscarriage a year and a half ago at 13 weeks. I'm finding it difficult to stay positive, but I'm trying to stay as hopeful as possible. And in theory things have a great chance of working out...we found out after the third loss that my husband has a balanced translocation and likely passed on an unbalanced translocation in the past. So much of his affected chromosomes are missing that a baby with our particular translocation wouldn't have a chance. So we did PGS and got three unaffected embryos! And because of the genetic testing we already know that we are having a boy!

  Hello ladies!! I got a surprising BFP this morning! My LO turned 1 June 16th and is still nursing. We are so excited for our new little bundle but very much in shock. The though of 2 kinds is a little overwhelming but I know it they will have an amazing bond! I'm somewhere around 5 weeks but not totally sure because of my cycle being out of wack from nursing.
