Hi!!

I got my BFP on Saturday (10/22) at 11 DPO.

EDD based on LMP is 7/6/17. Based on O date, it's 7/4/17 so that is what I am using for now.

so beyond excited for what is to come!!

thatcma · October 2016

Hello! Super nervous, first time mommy here. But I am also Super excited! I got my BFP on Friday 10/21.

EDD based on LMP is 7/5/16.

First appointment in 11/28/16 and it feels WAY too far away!

ETA: spelling

AdaByron · October 2016

Hi there! I jumped the gun and made an intro thread, but I'm pro-organization so I'll post here. Feel free to delete the other one if anyone reading has the power to do so.

I am a STM and Bump veteran, but started a new screenname this time around because my old one had my real name in it and some crazy terrifying shit went down in my old BMB to make me want to abandon it. I was on TTGP back in 2012-2013 and May14 after that.

Got my BFP on Saturday at what I thought was 8DPO, but now I'm suspecting I could be wrong. EDD according to Fertility Friend is July 7. I'll probably have a dating scan to confirm because it's way different from LMP. My first appointment is November 22, which is also the day we close on the sale of our house!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

ETA patiently waiting for @JAM85 to show up!

Carmofrap · October 2016

I got my bfp on Saturday the 22nd, due July 4th.

This is my fourth pregnancy but will be my 3rd child, I'm a stay at home mom.

It isn't a planned baby but we are very excited.

longhairdntcare · October 2016

@osucma my first appt is tentatively scheduled for Nov 21 and I agree, WAY too far away. I don't know how I am going to wait that long!!

peachy13 · October 2016

@osucma thanks for letting me know this is open! Yay!!!

I got my first BFP on 10/19, and if my math is correct (I O'd late, so going off O date)... my EDD is 7/2/17. Really pumped about the timing on this. Summer is my least busy time at work so the maternity leave situation is ideal for me, and my sister and best friend are both getting married on back-to-back weekends in September -- I was a little worried about my water breaking at one of their weddings if I was to get pregnant two months from now. Plus, I would love a little 4th of July America baby.

I'm a first time mom, and DH and I are very excited. Our first appointment is on 11/15 which feels like months away, and we're planning to tell our families around Thanksgiving (which will be the 8-9 week mark). I haven't told anyone yet but a friend is visiting me this weekend and our favorite pastime is cocktails... since she'll be here in person and it will be obvious when I'm not drinking, I'm going to tell her.

Can't wait to hear from everyone else!

glitterfish-2 · October 2016

I got my BFP on Friday, 10/21.

My EDD based on LMP is 7/2, and based on possible O date is 6/30 or 7/3 so we'll see at my appointment I guess! My sister's due date was also 7/3 (in 2013), so how funny if that is the winner!

We were trying for 10 months, our first, and it doesn't seem real yet! I don't have any symptoms really except tiny cramps that come and go and a greasier-than-usual face!

I'll be 35 on Sunday, DH is 33. We've been married since June 2015.

I had my confirmation blood test / beta done this morning, so I'll get the results tomorrow - maybe it will feel real!

ETA: Appointments! I had an annual already scheduled at the gyn that DH's urologist suggested for IUI for 11/10. I called the office of the gyn I had seen once when we started TTC and she is just back from maternity leave for a first appt of 11/22. I don't want to wait an extra 2 weeks, but how weird would it be to show up at the annual pregnant and then never return?

MelissaM090 · October 2016

Hi everyone!

I got my BFP on last Friday (October 21st) at 14DPT (trigger) / 15DPO. Been trying for 13 cycles, and was due to start IUI with the fertility clinic this month. This BFP (my first!) was a huge relief after an extremely difficult and disappointing year!

My EDD is June 29th based on LMP but I ovulated several days later than usual (which is why I was triggered) so based on O date would be July 1st. I lurked June a bit but felt WAY behind already so I think I'll be more comfortable here!

I'm a veteran of the TTGP board (although not a regular poster since the spring) but I recognize a lot of the names from lurking and I'm excited to active on this board!

ninabaninaa · October 2016

Hi ladies! My name is Christina I'm 29, my husband is 28 and we have been married since April 2015. I have a 6 month old daughter! I was part of the bump for my April baby this year and loved the support I got! Very anxious right now with it being so early but excited. We were pretty shocked when we got pregnant. EDD 7/1/17. I got my BFP last Sunday 10/23! Took a while for me to write it out on this forum but happy I did! Looking forward to getting to know you ladies and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!!

JAM85 · October 2016

Hi!!
I am 31 (just turned 10/24) and DH is 35. We have one DD who is 2.5. I got my BFP 10/23 and we are due 7/4/17. I was in TTGP for 2 months and we had a chemical the first month so we were very excited to get this BFP, and I have been POAS almost daily to watch the lines get darker which they have. I have my confirmation doctor's appt tomorrow so I can get my referral and off to races we go. I am very excited to be here to share it all with you ladies and have my friend @AdaByron my May 2014 BMB with me and @osucma from my TTGP board!
ETA: .Forgot to mention I.am also a Bump veteran my May 2014

glitterfish-2 · October 2016

OMG @JAM85 I'm doing the same!! Pee on all the things!!

I don't really have any symptoms yet, so I think that's part of it too. How about you?

thatcma · October 2016

@jam85 hey girl! Don't feel bad about continuing to pee on sticks. I am too.

AdaByron · October 2016

@JAM85 I am peeing on sticks still as well. The Wondfos are still not that dark, but maybe they just don't get very dark? I got a 3-pack of the CB digitals with weeks estimator, so I'm saving them for a couple weeks so I can see it show 3-4 instead of 1-2.

MelissaM090 · October 2016

@JAM85 I peed on things until after my first betas on Monday - they were good, so I felt okay about stopping after that. I don't think anyone is going to judge you here. My first positives on Friday were definitely lines, no question about it, but Saturday and Sundays lines were SO DARK. I was so freaking proud of them!

JAM85 · October 2016

@GlitterFish I think I have enough symptoms for everyone! I have had cramping (not just mild and what tipped me off something was different as odd as you might find symptoms that early) and low back pain since 1DPO (both which was not remotely normal for me) and I have had some bad bleeding gum and sensitive teeth that are a bit better and now I have extremely sore bbs. not to mention pregnancy bloat

and a cold since 1DPO (unrelated I'm sure) but so far nausea and food aversion is just very mild and on and off but I expect that to get real around 6 weeks like last time. And as much as I will sound like a complete crazy person I have been having RLP since 11DPO. I wouldn't have known what it was if I hadn't been pg before and I feel like a nutter because I have no idea why it would be happening this early but it still sucks and happens when I sneeze or get up or turn quickly if I'm lying down. Again feel free to flame me...I know it sounds crazy

Also I still haven't managed to figure out how to get my ticker to show after all this time!!

@AdaByron my wondfo was darker but not the same as the control yesterday (13dpo) but my FRER was blazing dark. And I even turned the less sensitive First Response Rapid Response which is 50iui. I am saving my digital CB weeks too!

glitterfish-2 · October 2016

Speaking of peeing on things, I am so bummed that the digital tests from Target disappear after 24 hours!!

MelissaM090 · October 2016

@GlitterFish I totally wanted to do the digital, just for the novelty of seeing that, but they're like $30 here! (Canada). I said forget it, my super dark lines on my dollar store cheapies were good enough for me - and then my friend told me the results disappear anyway - apparently they're battery powered?

glitterfish-2 · October 2016

@JAM85 Well maybe you are getting everything out of the way early! The 1DPO symptoms are pretty mysterious though! lol
At first I thought I felt some stuff (crampy, sore boobs, nausea) over the weekend (DPO 11-13), but they were just about gone by Monday so that put my anxiety in overdrive. :-(
What is RLP?

glitterfish-2 · October 2016

@MelissaM090 I swear some last longer than that, but I didn't even get to take a good photo of the "real" first one before it disappeared because the lighting was terrible! So I had to pee on the second one! lol
I think the pack of two was $9 in Target. That's still about 4.50 per photo! haha
I'm going to get one of the ones that measures weeks to have to send to my sister who won't be at my bday party. Mostly because her son's bday is 7/1 so that will make it more clear when I text "I decided what I'm getting Blake for his bday...." haha

manillabar · October 2016

Hi everyone! I am 27 and my husband is 32. I got my BFP on 10/22 with an EDD of 7/2/17 (my nephew's birthday!). This will be our first baby. I am also peeing on way too many sticks, although I promised myself I wouldn't do one today and so far I'm holding on to that lol. I was pleased with how much darker my wondfo got yesterday though compared to Sunday. I've run out of those so I'm saving my last two frers of the pack for later.

ETA: My first appointment is 11/10, then I have an 8wk ultrasound scheduled for 11/21 (the day before my husband's birthday!)

kghusker1003 · October 2016

Hi everyone! I got a very unexpected BFP yesterday 10/25 at 2 am (I had terrible insomnia!) on a Walmart cheapie, and then on 2 FRERs later in the day. My EDD is 07/02/2017, which also happens to be my dad's birthday. DH and I have been together since 2009, married since 2012. We have 2 beautiful and sassy daughters, DD 1 was born in Oct of 2010 and DD 2 was born in March of 2014. We also have 2 angel babies, 1 in 2009 and 1 in 2015. We were not trying, but not preventing, because I was on the fence about having another baby (and C-section!) We are absolutely thrilled though and praying for another rainbow!

I have 1 more FRER that I am saving.. Trying to hold out so I can see it get darker. My first appointment with my OB is 11/21 and I will get an ultrasound that day too. It's going to be a very long month.

JAM85 · October 2016

@GlitterFish yes everyone in TWW said it couldn't be anything but i had it the month i had my chemical and this month and never before. and it wasn't mild cramping it was consistent every day all the time and is still here. 've looked it up and it seems rare to have it that early but some women do get it.

RLP= round ligament pain and not something typically felt until the end of the 1st Trimester or into the 2nd. Basically it feels like a very sharp pain on either side of the abdomen from the hips (at least for me) and usually happens when sneezing or moving quickly especially turning or shifting quickly. so it's very weird to be feeling it now but it is not an easily confused feeling if you have felt it before.

LarkSparkle · October 2016

Nice to e-meet you all, and so happy to be here with you!

I was lurking on the TTC board, and never posted in the end. But I found all of the information there beyond helpful! It introduced me to TCOYF and all of the helpful body signs.

I'm 32 and he's 38, we've been married since 2012. We were trying for just 4 cycles. Got a faint positive yesterday (13 DPO) and a strong one today (14 DPO).

I'm super attuned to every twinge and tend to over-think things, so I'm trying to take any symptoms with a grain of salt. That said, on 10 DPO at dinner I was so hungry I consumed 2 main courses, an appetizer, and a dessert without flinching. Sunday night (12 DPO) I woke up and my boobs were sore and swollen. Wrote this off as yoga pains, but it was enough to make me test the next morning.

We're cautiously excited. Afraid to get too excited, as it's still so early. We haven't told anyone at all!

@AdaByron I was surprised too, the Wondofos are super faint! Today I did 2 different tests in the same round (from the same um... cup) and the drug store cheapies came up very dark while the Wondofos showed almost nothing.

Apologies but I'm intro-ing and ghosting, as it's 1am in my time zone... but happy to meet you all!

babypi · October 2016

Hi everyone! It's been nice to read all the intros! I'm a STM with a 10 month old daughter. I got my BFP Friday 10/21. Since I'm still breastfeeding my daughter, my cycle has been pretty irregular, so depending on which method I use to calculate it, my EDD is anywhere between 7/1 and 7/6. I had an appointment already on the books with my primary care Tuesday so they tested to confirm. Unfortunately, despite the 5 positive HPTs between Friday and Tuesday, theirs was negative. I'm sure the blood test will confirm the pregnancy, (esp. since I've had 2 more +) but it was really disheartening to have the office staff treat me like I'm crazy. They were very patronizing, and I'm super glad that I didn't go through this with my first pregnancy.

theweevee · October 2016

Hi everyone! I got my bfp on October 20 and have an estimated due date of 6/30-7/3. I'll probably be here more because I feel a little behind om the June board. This is our first. Super excited!

NarrowHouses · October 2016

Hi everyone! I got my bfp on Saturday 10/22, based on O my edd is 7/4/17. This will be baby #2. Our DD is almost 3. I was around the D 13 board, but have changed my name since returning. I'm anxious and hopeful, we have two prior m/c. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

lilyaster · October 2016

Yay for the July board! I tested Tuesday at 9 dpo and got a faint line. My edd should be 7/9 which is my son's birthday. I have three awesome kids ages 4, 8, and 9. I've also had three losses, including two in the past year, so I'll be holding my breath until this feels real. We've been trying for 15 months and plan on this being our last child. I look forward to hanging out with you all!

goldbangle · October 2016

Hi everyone!

I'm happy to be here with you all! My husband and I are 35 and this will be our 3rd baby; we have 2 boys - 6 and 3 years old. I got my first BFP on Friday, 10/21 after 5 cycles of trying. My Ob told me that it would take a long time this time around since I'm 35 now, but I'm glad she was wrong! My EDD is 7/1/17 based on my LMP.

No real symptoms yet, just fatigue and a little moodiness. I have enjoyed my other pregnancies, so I'm hoping this will be a good one as well! I look forward to getting to know all of you!!

kat0607 · October 2016

Hi everyone! I had been active on the TTGP board for about one month, and while I cherished the community and all of the wonderful women there, I did not feel comfortable posting on the grad thread, as this was my DH's and I first cycle actively TTC. I thought it would be more appropriate to move on to my BMB, so here I am!! I will probably still lurk in TTGP, and I am hoping to see some more familiar names on this board very soon!!

My husband and I are 24, and first time parents! I had ZERO expectations for this cycle, but after having an inkling for a few days, I took a test after dinner on 9DPO (10/25) and got a squinter. Followed up with two more tests at 10DPO and today (11DPO) which gave me two standard positives. We are in shock but excited and extremely nervous. I feel like I didn't have enough time to mentally prepare myself!

EDD is based on LMP is July 5, and based on O, July 9, which is also my birthday.

I still need to make our first appointment - things are a whirlwind right now!

I am really looking forward to having an awesome community of moms to take this journey with.

Dcwtada · October 2016

Oddly enough this is my third July BMB! I have 2 babies my daughter Sophia Lynn (July 14 board) and my son David Arthur (July 15 board). I definitely wasn't as active on the July 15 board but made some amazing friends on July 14. My babies will be 2 and 3 when this little one is born.

Got my BFP three days ago with a EDD of 7/6. Since this will be my third c-section I will most likely be a June momma but July is my home

looking forward to getting to know you mommas!

I will have my 3rd c-section as well. More than likely also will be end of June!

Dcwtada · October 2016

@kghusker1003 did your doctor recommend scheduling between 38-39 weeks?

kghusker1003 · October 2016

@Dcwtada I haven't spoke to him yet, but I did talk to his nurse yesterday and she said that he will schedule me for about a week prior to my due date unless I have complications as I did with DD2.

hannahTN · October 2016

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a few months and I'm very excited to get to post! I'm 26, hubby is 30, and I've been off BC since July. We started actively trying in August (2nd cycle off BC) and I got my BFP on 10/24. Based on my O and LMP, my due date is between 6/30-7/1, but like another poster said, I felt a little behind on the June board so I decided to join this one.

This is my first pregnancy and I am feeling a lot of things lol. Nervous, cautiously excited, and eager to learn about my body as it changes throughout the months.

As as far as symptoms, I've been peeing a lot more. That's about it so far, but I also feel very spaced out and foggy brained. Not sure if that's a common symptom but I've definitely noticed it in the past couple days.

Excited to to share our journey together ladies!!

purple.lotus · October 2016

Hey everyone! I am 25 and this is my third pregnancy! I found out on 10/23 and my EDD would be 07/02. So excited to share this experience with everyone!

caribbeanmama-2 · October 2016

Yay July is open! Hi Everyone, I'm so excited but nervous to join. My EDD is July 4th based on ovulation and June 28 based on LMP. I was active on the Feb 2017 board but things did not work out - so hubby and I are just grateful to be expecting again. I'm really hopeful that this time it's for keeps! I've had two beta draws and so far so good so just trying to stay calm.

I followed the June 2015 board my first time around (for DS) but was too shy to post and I really regret that because that board was a lifeline for me (before and after the mass exodus)! So, I'm happy to help and support others as I have already received so much from the members of this community already. And I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone here!

chloe97 · October 2016

Hi everyone- I'm Chloe. I got my BFP on 10/20 and my EDD is 7/3. I'm 37 and got married a year ago.

TW

I've had 2 losses- 1-11/2015 (June '16) and the other 5/2016 (November 2016). I had betas done this week and they were good, but my losses are usually late first trimester so I'm very cautious. No living children. Once things get rolling I will volunteer to get the PGAL check-in rolling.
