Re: Introduction

  • Hi ladies! I'm Cathryn. I am 29 and live in Denver with my husband. I am pregnant for the first time! My bfp was on 12/2, had my dr confirm with a blood draw and got those results on 12/5. Estimated due date is August 8. Excited (albeit a little nervous) about this journey! So glad there is a community of experienced moms and first-timers alike to lean on. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

  • @CaitlinMES due date twins! And my sister in law is due about 2.5 weeks before me! So funny!
  • Hi everyone!  I've been stalking these forums for a long time, but have finally decided to post.  I will be a first time mom EDD August 8, 2017.  VERY excited!  unfortunately had 2 miscarriages over the past 4 years that hubby and I have been trying, but we're now going strong and can't wait for our first ultrasound next week Wednesday! 

    We have no other children at all and our only issue while TTC was the fact that I don't ovulate regularly :(  However with the help of my clinic, we are now expecting!

    We got our BFP on November 26th because I couldn't wait until my bloodwork appointment on the Monday, so I decided to POAS and it was positive within seconds.  I cried (of course).  Went in Monday to confirm with blood work and had an HCG count of 133 (13 dpo), then returned for a second count 2 days later had a result of HCG 322 (15 dpo).

    Congrats to all the other Momma's to be, this is such an exciting time :)
  • Hi @TwoDogMomma! Where in PA are you? I'm also in PA and a two dog mama
  • @awheeler4311 I'm currently in york, originally from outside of Pittsburgh. Where are you?
  • I forgot to do this the other day...
    I'm Jen - newly pregnant with #1 with the help of Fertility Treatments - extremely lucky to be pregnant with Severe Endo through IUI. Quite nervous still as I've had a loss previously but all the extra blood work and ultrasounds you get with an RE helps a lot! Canadian...have 4 furbabies including our 9 month old Mini Aussie Shepherd puppy Finnigan. 
    Things started to feel real when I was assigned my Midwife yesterday...and chose the hospital the birth will take place at!
    Hope you are all feeling good about this pregnancy and look forward to a Happy & Healthy 9 months!

  • Hello ladies, my name is Krissi.  I have a DS that was born Aug'13.  I am starting to see a very similar pattern that my husband and I have when it comes to baby making.  Both times we TTC for two years, and both were conceived in Nov.  I had my BFP on 11/26 and my EDD is 8/5.  I had surgery this past July to remove multiple cysts and clean up my ENDO, and am thrilled to be here with all of you now.
    I am hoping for a healthy pregnancy for all of us!!
  • Hi! 
    I have a 2 year old - I was part of the April 2014 group! 
    My due date is August 5. Excited to be back - although I'm nervous!! Thanks ladies. 
  • Hello! 
    Has been nice to read all the intros and look forward to getting to know you all better. 

    I have an almost 3 year old (was part of march 2014) and am now 5 weeks with number 2. 

    My first was born at 33/3 due to PPROM at 32/1 and a short cervix. 
    The next 8 months are going to be a scary road for us as we try to avoid another preemie. 

    I live in Alberta, Canada :)

    Hi all!

    I'm 33 YO special education teacher from SW Iowa. I was previously married and have two children (DS - Aug '10 & DD - Feb '13) from said marriage. I was on the bump fairly regularly the first go round (created a new acct this time around) and joined the Facebook spinoff group from the second and still love those girls today! I hope we'll get one going soon for this group as well!  

    I got married in August to one of my best friends (and co-workers). He is an amazing father to DS and DD and I feel very blessed. We decided to give having a baby a shot and recently found out that DH has low morphology. We were scheduled for our IUI consult when I found out we were expecting (we were told it wouldn't happen without IUI because of his results and my PCOS). 

    I got my BFP crazy early at 8DPO with a very faint internet cheapie. I tested the next morning with a digital to confirm. I honestly didn't think we'd get pregnant, let alone this cycle as I O'd late (I chart and use OPKs). 

    It hasn't really sunk in, but I'm excited nonetheless! I look forward to getting to know you ladies and can't wait to see these bellies and babies! 

    Oh! EDD is 8/17.

    Hey @B@by0d0m congrats on your BFP,  Just want to let you know that with the special character in your username it makes it super hard to tag you in anything.  I would consider changing your username if you want to be tagged. 

    It let me do it this time, but it didnt work well.  It wont let me auto fill the name, and the second time I edited it it took the tag away.  Just an FYI

    I'm very early just over 4 weeks. EDD 8/14/17
    Hoping this is our rainbow baby

  • Hi ladies!
    My name is Cassy. I'm 25 and live in Eau Claire, WI, with my boyfriend, and our pomsky. This is a first for me! My pregnancy was unplanned, and to be completely honest, I was in kind of a state of shock when I got my BFP. I was on BC, so I must admit that this really wasn't on my radar; however, now that everything has sunk in, I am elated. Is it weird to say that I'm pretty sure I already love him/her? Based on my last menstrual period, (I believe) my EDD is August 1.
    I'm really happy to be part of a community of women who are going through the same things as me! Of course my boyfriend is very supportive and does his best to hear me out, but he can't possibly know all the things I'm feeling and be able to relate. Excited for this journey with you all! :)
  • Hi Everyone, I'm Dori! I got my BFP on 12/4 and EDD is 8/14 based on LMP. I live in the Philadelphia suburbs and I will be a first time momma! We had a MC in Oct at 7 weeks, so a bit nervous to get through this first trimester but also so excited at the same time. First appt is 12/20. Glad to be here with you all!!
  • Hi everyone! First timer here. I got my BFP 12/2. My husband and I just got married 11/17 so having a honeymoon baby! This is my first and his second. I have a wonderful (almost) 11 yo SD who lives in OH and we live in GA. We also have 4 dogs and a cat so we're just adding to our pack. I have a dx of PCOS so didn't think there was any chance of getting pregnant without some help. I'm happy to be here and look forward to getting to know everyone! EDD is 8/5 but my first appt isn't til 1/10. 
  • @ead1215 yay for another Georgia girl!

    Hi! Been lurking for a few days but was waiting to get my betas. Pregnant with #3 over here! I also have a 4.5 year old and a 3 year old (2U2!). My Edd is 8.16.17! Congrats to all!
  • A big huge hello and how the heck are you!  I'm 27, from Upstate NY, and this is my first pregnancy.

    According to my LMP, I should be about 4 weeks pregnant.  I called my OB to schedule my appointment but I have to **impatiently** wait 4 more weeks.  

    EDD is 8/14/17.  So excited to be here with you and to get to know you all!

  • @aehogan90 my daughter is almost 10 months and I'm in Houston. Where in TX are you? 
  • Hello all,

    I am Jessica I live in al. I got my BFP December 19. I am not 100% sure about due date, but I think between 10-19. Last year I had a miscarriage with my first the Saturday before my first appointment so I am trying not to stress, but it's hard to not be nervous. Dr. says I am fine but you never know these things. My first appointment for this pregnancy  is Jan. 10 this wait is going to suck, but hopefully I can keep my nerves to a min.

    Hi everyone! I'm Dee from Seattle. I got my BFP the day before Thanksgiving, but I was pretty positive I was pregnant by 2nd week of November. I just waited to test after I missed my period.

    This is our first, and I've been lurking for a while as we experienced loss back in April that has me gun shy. Based on LMP, my due July 25th. However when I went in for a quick check on Wednesday the Dr said I was a week behind,  so that puts my due date at Aug 1. I'll know for sure next Thursday during my date scan. I feel horribly behind on the July board, and you ladies are lovely, so I'm thinking I'll stay here regardless if that's ok.

    Looking forward to getting know everyone better next 9 months!.
  • Hi everyone!
    I will be a 3rd time mommy come August but this is my first time on a forum. I got by bfp super early at 7dpo on 11/ 17 and my EDD is 8/3/17 ☺ DS1 is 3.5 and DS2 is 2. DH and I couldn't be happier about our newest addition and I can't wait to get to know y'all. We are stationed overseas and this seems to be a great way to get into a "community". Both of my boys were super easy pregnancies but so far I can't stop falling asleep at all hours of the day and I have constant nausea without actually throwing up. 
  • Holy crap @NYTino24!!!  Congrats a million times over!!!  Welcome to the A17 BMB!!!
