INTRO & EDD THREAD

Hey everyone! This has been a long time coming for me to finally join TB and participate in a BMB. I've been lurking on and off TB for 3 years now, without having a username. I got my BFP on June 25 after my FET after failed fresh IVF! I am 5 weeks 3 days and due 3/8/17.

My history is 6 rounds of clomid in 2013, tried Chinese medicine in 2014, then contacted an RE after nothing worked. I did 6 IUIs starting last August with no luck and IVF in April = BFN and finally a BFP after FET 6/20.

We have a dog named Jade and will be married 5 years this September!!!

Helllooooooo! Finally!

@wbubbybear15 damn girl, there are some straight up bishes on February! Can't say we won't get some here over the course of the next 40 or so weeks, but glad you're here!

Wow, hi, that's rude. You know this is a public board, right?

Feb17 girls may be snarky, but only when it's called for. And I don't know a single one of us who would be so tacky as to call names like this.

I really think the comment was just intended to playfully welcome someone who wasn't feeling so welcome elsewhere. Given all the snark that goes down on these boards, I'm not really sure why that single comment keeps getting blown out of proportion. Are you a potential March Mom? Or were you just swingin' by and hoping to stir the pot?

If the first- then welcome!!!! We're excited to get to know you, as we have been with all of our other intros!

If the second, thanks for stopping by.

There's snark, and then there's disrespect. Calling members of another BMB "bishes" is an example of the latter. That's why this particular post, which in no way comes across as "playful," keeps coming up - it's truly unacceptable behavior, and I can't believe yall didn't check it when it happened.

I'm a late-Feb mom who may deliver in March, so I was checking through here to see who I might know and get a feel for the vibe. Not that it matters why I was here. There is no rule saying that only women who will give birth in March can hang out here. Lurking other boards is hella common here on TB, and even if it wasn't, I'd still have every right to click on through if I felt like it, because, like, America. So please don't "bye, Felicia" me for calling out inappropriate behavior.

You're right. I guess I did assume, as I'm sure the others did who also said nothing at the time, that the "bishes" comment was thrown out playfully. But hey girl, if the shoe fits...

I'm new here (today) so i didn't see the original comment until I saw a couple people quote it and call it out. Just here to say that there are a lot of awesome F17 mamas including @MonaLisaRalphio. I (we? Not sure if I can generalize for the board) don't want March 17 to become a name calling board, so let's just move on from this and play nice with each other.

Edit: new to march17, not new to TB. Not sure if it matters, but I figured I'd clarify

hippiemama-2 · July 2016

@Buthayna *waves white flag* Well said. I like your style. Apologies for the brief lack of manners. And Welcome!

Schumerator · July 2016

@longliveregina holy shizzzz nice to see you here!!! CONGRATS!!!

Sugargirl1019 · July 2016

@longliveregina omg hi yayyyy!!!!! I'm so excited to see you!!

Loves. Don't call each other names. I have a lot of friends in the Feb board. You seem to think calling out that post was wrong, but I agree it was disrespectful and the original poster needs to own their mistake. We also do not want this culture of rudeness to be supported and continued by other members.

betsy538 · July 2016

Hey ladies! First of all, congrats to you all!

I just got a BFP this morning, we were not trying to get pregnant, so I'm a little in shock. It looks like my EDD is March 9th. My husband and I will be married 8 years on August 1st, our DS will be 5 on Aug 19th. We were one and done, but I guess that's about to change! My LMP was June 2nd, which was 6 days late, I hadn't tested, life went on like business as usual, now I'm wondering if it was implantation bleeding or really my period. First thing tomorrow morning I'll call the doctor.

I am am excited and nervous as all get out.

I was was very active on TB with my first pregnancy, so I thought I'd come back.

Cant wait to "meet" you all!

minipig90 · July 2016

Hey y'all!

I posted sometimes but mostly lurked on TTGP. And now I'm finally here...yay! My due day is Feb. 27, but since that's at the tail end of Feb. I think I'm going to have the baby in March. I'm right around 6 weeks 5 days right now. DH and I are both 25, about to turn 26. This will be our first! Our first ultrasound is next Monday...hoping to see a healthy baby in there!

Schumerator · July 2016

@minipig90 I remember you posting! Welcome!! And congrats

veeveemama59 · July 2016

Hi there! I'm a little late to the party, but better late than never!

I'm 30 and so is DH. We've been together since we were 18, married at 23 and started for our fist baby after 4 years of marriage. After 13 months of trying, it was discovered that I have stage 3 endometriosis which ruined my fallopian tubes...natural or "spontaneous" pregnancy is impossible for us.

We had our first round of IVF in February 2014, our emby"bro" stuck, got a BFP on March 17 and our DS, Matthew was born on November 14 via scheduled C section. He weighed in at 9.8lbs and 21 inches long! Anyway, I digress...
We prepped for a frozen emby transfer and that happened on June 30th. I waited as long as I could....7 days...and got my BFP on 7/7! My first beta is tomorrow, 7/11! My EDD is March 18, 2017!!

I love all things Christmas. I'm obsessed with Disney and planning vacations to go there and I love Harry Potter (I'm looking at you @Scarlett830, we're like interest soulmates) I am excited to be on this board. I hung around on the November 2014 board back in the day, but the girls there tended to be aggressive. And then they all left....anyway...FX!

CoconutKisses21 · July 2016

Hi ladies! Congrats on all the BFPs!

I'm a long time TTGP lurker and plan to be more active on this board. DH is 32 and I'm 30 and this is our first. We've been TTC for 10 frustrating months due to extremely irregular cycles.

I recently went to see my OB/GYN to discuss my irregular cycles and a plan going forward. We discussed testing and starting oral fertility drugs. Lo and behold, a week later I got my BFP on July 8th at CD26/12DPO with an EDD of 3/20/17. It's still very early and my only symptom is sore, heavy breasts. FX for a sticky bean! Looking forward to getting to know everyone and sharing this crazy amazing journey together.

*Edited to add EDD.

Imisscoffee2017 · July 2016

I feel like I'm the only one not excited about being pregnant and I hate it.

This is is my second child and my EDD is March 4th. I'm 35 and my bf is 34. I've only gone to my gp to confirm the pregnancy and get a referral to an OB. That was a week ago and I called for status and they didn't even put the request in!

I've only told my HR manager at work because it so fricken busy I need to have a good reason to get time off. I'm afraid to tell my mom because she is so negative about everything. My bf and I had to move in with her after he lost his job a few weeks ago and she thinks low of him. We've been together for 9 years and our daughter is 5. I'm hoping he finds a job and we move out before I tell her. This pregnancy is so stressful and work is so stressful I want to cry all the time.

ShaunaT25 · July 2016

Hi ladies!
Very excited to say that after 6 months of ttc (with a hubby that works away 3 weeks and is home 4 days), got my BFP this morning! Went to a wedding yesterday, had some drinks and danced my butt off... woke up this morning with super sore boobs, and thought "huh, that's weird..... oh look, I am 2 days late for my period, but there's no way....".

But, 2 tests later... I was like... way. ha

This is #2 for us. DS is 3.5. Can't wait to get to know you folks, and judging from the posts above.... I feel like I am gonna like it here

Edit:

Oh yah, EDD is March 12th!

Welcome! We're glad to have you!
I have no idea why I'm stuck
in this box! I'm sure you
didn't realize, but the phrase
in bold is generally avoided 
out of respect for the mothers
on the board who have cremated
their babies. All "sticky" phrases
are more than welcome, though!

Edited because TB ate my words

girlmama83 · July 2016

Hello and congratulations to all! My name is Lindsey and my fiancé and I are actually getting married next month! We wanted to TTC immediately after the wedding but I'm impatient so we started trying in June and well.. Here we are already! We have an amazing daughter named Hannah who will be 3 next month and I was an active member of the August 2013 group while I was pregnant with her.

I've scheduled my first appointment for August 10th and my EDD is March 18th!

MrsJN · July 2016

Hi everyone,

First off, congratulations to all March 2017 moms.

I've currently 5 weeks and 5 days along. Got my BFP on the 2nd of July. I'm a first time mom so I'm a little freaked out and a lot excited by the whole process! I look forward to learning a lot as well as sharing this amazing journey with you.

Cheers!

veeveemama59 · July 2016

@MissPrint1219 Oh my word, I am so so so sorry! That didn't even cross my mind. Thank you for pointing it out!

Klottr70 · July 2016

Hello all,

I tested positive on July 8th! My husband and I have been trying and still in shock that I am pregnant! My first obgyn appt is July 14th to confirm since it is still very early. I think I am 4 weeks pregnant. This will be our first child! I think the due date will be around March 14th. We are very excited! I am feeling bloated and cramping throughout the day but no other symptoms yet. I am happy to be a part of this group! Thanks!

cupcakeboyd · July 2016

Hello all! I'm super excited to be here! My BFP date was June 30th and my EDD is March 4th of next year although we hope it's a little later since we will be moving around that time to a bigger apartment and we would love it if the birth day fell on my deceased great-grandmother's birthday! Some other info: My husband and I are fairly young and have been married for about a year and a half now, and this is our first pregnancy so we are hoping all goes well. I'm not very worried though since my OB/GYN is my mom's best friend and practically an aunt to me. I can't wait to talk to you all more!

anonellis · July 2016

I was waiting until my first appointment before jumping in. I am 5 weeks 4 days, with an EDD of March 9 based on ovulation. My husband and I were thrilled that my RE immediately saw a perfect gestational sac and fetal pole this morning (I'd been anxious about this appointment for the last two weeks)....but then we saw there were TWO!

We were not expecting this at all and are pretty stunned. I am anxious about the increased risks for twins and am going to join / stay with this board for now, even though if these both stick I guess I would wind up delivering in February. The doctor emphasized that it's still really early, and hopefully we will hear heartbeats next week. I am a lawyer and a major planner, and we are totally in shock by this news.

After struggling with infertility (due to my PCOS) for over a year, this is our first pregnancy, and we will be thrilled with whatever ends up coming our way.

ihateusernames* · July 2016

@Imisscoffee2017 I hear ya. We are living with my parents right now as we build. We originally were supposed to be only here for two months but the build has taken over 8 months now. Building with my parents in their property so it's not our "fault" for the hold up but I still feel stupid for still being in their house.
Lots of tension and fights lately.
anyway, I'm sorry this pregnancy is stressful for you

I hope that your living situation turns around. Keep us updated!

chrlyr · July 2016

Hello everyone. I got my BFP this morning at (I think - I didn't temp/test this month!) 10dpo. This was our 13th month TTC#2. Our son is 4.5. I'm actually kind of shocked since I was getting pessimistic about ever getting pregnant again. I was very much hoping I would be pregnant by my 35th birthday --- which happens to be today. Happy birthday to me.

We're absolutely thrilled and excited for round 2. Congrats to you all!

kiki75 · July 2016

Hello!
I just turned a digital test today so I'm jumping in! H and I have been trying for this for five months and we are so, so very excited. And I'm still in a little bit of disbelief. H is 37, I'm 32 and this is our first. ETA: EDD is March 20. Can't believe I forgot to add it the first time.

I've been a regular poster on TTGP and I'm excited to see so many people I knew from there here and I'm excited to get to know more people.

Best wishes for everyone for a fun, exciting, and safe ride!

ElleB11 · July 2016

Hi, I've been participating in the TTGP board for the past 3 months and finally got a definite positive this morning. My EDD is March 18th. I had a loss this March so I'm still very nervous but excited too. DH and I have been married 2.5 years and have DS who is 20 months. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!

ckilpela · July 2016

Hi March mommas!! I am super early to join, Edd is March 20th!
This is baby #2.
We have a little girl who will be one on 7-20. Super excited, had a bfp last Wednesday so I found out quite early! Even before I missed. Just was feeling a little "off" so I took the hpt!
im a night shift RN, working 2 days a week so really hoping the quizzies do not get too bad this time.
im also building my Skin care business so my goal is to be able to go on maternity leave come March and not have to go back to my nursing job!
Things are looking great! Happy to be here, look forward to meeting you all!

RileyG2218 · July 2016

Hello ladies! I am 4 weeks with an EDD of March 15th. We have a 19 yo DS and a 20 mo DD. I have the honor of being part of the o14 group with amazing, tenacious, strong women. I would not have made it though pregnancy and into toddlerhood without them! I am looking forward to spending the next 9 months getting to know all of you and be able to experience this all together. We are so shocked and excited for this (our last) edition!! Heres to giving up wine for the next 9 months

meq124 · July 2016

@ckilpela yay for July babies! Mine will be 1 on the 26th

Peepster · July 2016

Hi ladies! I'm so excited to be joining this community again! I was a pretty infrequent poster on the June '13 board, so I'm hoping to be a lot more involved this time around and get to know everyone!

************TW************

We got our BFP on July 1. Due date, according to LMP, is March 7. This is our third pregnancy. Our first ended in a miscarriage at six weeks in April '12, and our second gave us our DS who just turned 3.

I'm 36 (37 when the baby comes), so I'm a little bit more nervous this time around. DH is 42 and he and I have been married 10 years. Borrowing the wording of another post I saw, I'm a Californian by birth, but an Iowan by marriage.

Can't wait to get to know all of you! H&H9!

dubcompanion · July 2016

@Peepster Fellow Iowan here.

I want to escape to the west coast (specifically L.A.), but DH is intent on staying here. So, technically an Iowan by marriage too.

Peepster · July 2016

@dubcompanion Well, hello! I wish we could escape to the west coast, too (specifically the Bay Area), but DH has convinced me that it's better to stay here because the schools are better, it's cheaper, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, "But California's pretty!"

dubcompanion · July 2016

@Peepster Same exact discussion in our household! lol

Mamallamallama · July 2016

Hello all!
I am excited to join this board. My estimated due date is March 10. I have a dd who is almost 15 months. I was a lurker on the April 15 board. I also have a beagle mix that is still struggling with not being the only child.

Good luck with the next 9 months!

Lizer514 · July 2016

Hi everyone!!! My name is Liz and DH amd I have been TTGP for almost 2 years. We had a miscarriage in 2013 and are thrilled about out new baby on board...EDD March 20 2017!
We were on our first round of Clomid and I tested positive 12 dpo! I'm a little worried about my progesterone levels but we'll take it all one step at a time!

I love crime dramas, a good book, Jesus and nursing. I am a RN in a NICU and DH is in Law enforcement. Our big baby is our 7 yr old Great Dane.

Looking forward to getting to know some of you other March Mamas!
