Hi everyone!!! I'm Erin, I'm 24 (almost 25) years old and I'm 5 weeks + 2 days pregnant today! My boyfriend is 26 and just finishing up dental school (he graduates in May!). I got a BFP the day before my expected AF and we were shocked but also very happy. We currently live and work in Pittsburgh but we will be relocating to Rhode Island at the end of May for my bf's residency program. I'll hopefully be about 18 weeks by the so it will be interesting!
I'm super happy I found this group and can't wait to get to know you ladies! Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months for all of us.
I just got a bfp today, at only 8dpo. I took seven tests, all positive and getting darker, so even though it's early I'm going to roll with it.
I have a DD who was due in December but came 3 weeks early in November, so she's getting a birthday buddy.
I just had a loss in January, so I'm feeling very tentative right now and having a hard time being excited. I think once my period is actually late, my tests darken up more, and I pass my loss milestone I'll start feeling better.
Looking forward to meeting everyone and having another fall kiddo!
Hello!I'm a STM. DD just turned 19 months today and I got my first non squinter BFP this morning. The first two tests I took a few days ago were so faint I thought they were evap lines. EDD according to LMP is 11/6 but I typically have a 33-35 day cycle so I expect to go late. I did with DD.
I look forward to participating on this board. I didn't get active on the July/August 2015 board until after DD was born but I read posts through my whole pregnancy.
Hi everyone! I just got my BFP on Thursday and my EDD is Nov. 10. This is our second November baby as our first is a Nov 2015 baby! February is our lucky month to conceive I suppose! Only symptoms I've been experiencing are being crampy, sore, moody, and exhausted. However, the tiredness may be from my 16 month old or the fact that I'm a kindergarten teacher lol anyway, nice meeting you all. May we all have a happy and healthy pregnancy! Can't wait to get to know you all through our journey!
Hi ladies! Expecting baby #3 on November 3rd. I have a 6 yo girl and an almost 4yo boy. We live in Maryland. We always thought we only wanted 2 but couldn't get the idea that we weren't quite done out of our heads so we decided to go for a 3rd and I got pregnant the first month of trying! Happy to be here!!
Hey everyone! I am a STM I have a daughter who is 3.5 and I have been married to my DH for almost 4 years in May. We are super excited to have found out I am pregnant again because starting this month we were going to be digging deeper into fertility issues... I am cautiously excited about this little one because I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks In January 2016 and a ectopic March 2016... hoping this little one sticks and we can add to our family! Happy and healthy 9 months to everyone!
Hello! After a year of TTC #2, DH and I had finally gotten a referral to an RE. I did some searching online, and came across a few threads about getting pregnant using the softcups made for your period. I figured WTH it's cheaper than in vitro, so we gave it a shot. Needless to say, DH and I were floored when we got our BFP yesterday. So our conception date was 2/18, and this little nugget is due 11/11 (which is also dad's birthday ). DH will be 38, I'll be 37, and DD will be 3 years, 4 days by that point.
And here's a creepy/amazing story for you. DH's mother passed away when he was 7, but I firmly believe DD sees her all the time. She'll wave to the corner in her bedroom, and say "Love me" to no one at the most random times. Anyway, recently she has been waking up at night and one night DH asked her what was wrong. She said "Grandma wake me." DH then proceeded to ask her what Grandma said, and she tells him "Baby Brudda!!!" So I'm truly thinking we're having a boy this time, and have already started referring to him by name. It will be quite interesting to see what the next few months hold, until we can find out for sure.
Anyway, I wish everyone a happy and healthy 40 weeks, and God bless us all!!!
**TW** I'm a FTM, but have had two prior losses around 7-10wks in Dec15 and Apr 16. I had RPL testing done after the second loss, but didn't find anything wrong. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism before we started TTC, but my RE doesn't think it was related to my losses. We spent 6 months on the bench before TTCAL this time. **End TW**
In any case, my beta came back at 40 yesterday, so I'm officially pregnant! I was pleasantly surprised to just feel *happy* instead of worried when I saw the BFP. H and I were both just thrilled to see another BFP. I'm hoping to spend a full 9 months with everyone on this board.
Hi I'm from Glasgow in Scotland! second time mummy hopefully to baby in November, my son is going to be 2 years and 3 months old when baby is due. I'm very excited and also very nervous was a massive shock when I found out I was pregnant again but over the moon about it. good luck to everyone xxxx
Hi all! We just found out we're pregnant with our second (4th pregnancy). It was quite the surprise! We were planning on having another in a year or two, so we will just be having him or her sooner than we thought we would! We have the sweetest little guy, going on 15 months old now.
Hi! My name is Lis and this is my second pregnancy and will be my second baby
My DH and I struggle with IF and had to conceive our daughter (3.5 yrs) through IVF. Thankfully our first FET worked this time around and we are over the moon although slightly panicked about the idea of 2 kids, lol. EDD is 11/4/17

Hi everyone! I got my super faint BFP last Tuesday and after many many many more tests I am now 4w5d, EDD I think is November 8! I'm high risk and have already seen my doc to talk about our game plan, and have my first official appt on 3/13.
I'm a SAHM, disney addict, and photographer. This is my 3rd pregnancy and hopefully 2nd baby! DS turned 2 in February and I've had very complicated pregnancies both times - both were placental abruptions, 1st at 22w6d, 2nd at 30w4d - so I'm really hoping that we've figured out how to prevent that and get me through to at least 36 weeks this time! Fingers crossed!!
Symptoms so far: fatigue. Holy crap I forgot how exhausting the first tri is. Also occasionally queasy and some slight food aversions. And bloat. My pants are already getting hard to button! I'm not gonna lie, I'm excited to wear a lot of my maternity clothes again though
Happy to be here!

I disappeared for a bit because when I got my betas drawn, they were negative (1.2). I've started getting more faint positives, and still no AF, so I'll cautiously hang out here for a bit. Currently resting from housework due to a wave of nausea ugh.
I'm so excited to be here with you all. This is baby #2 for us. I have a 14 month old (on Friday) son. I honestly can't even believe I got here. February was an extremely stressful month for me as my dad was hospitalized. I barely saw my husband let alone managed to have sex. Luckily, the couple times we did were timed and well- thankfully. I feel like I am over the top excited and wanting to start getting things ready. I have no clue how I am going to be patient enough to get through the next 34.5weeks.

Hi Everyone, I am super excited to be posting here! I am a FTM and my EDD is 11/15. My DH and I are both 31 and this was our 4th month/5th cycle trying after having my Mirena removed in November. I was a huge lurker of the TTGP board, however never had the guts to post so I am really happy to be joining this supportive community. I took this month off from track ovulation and basically my only symptom was some mild cramping the past 4-5 days and my AF not showing up this morning. I am really excited to be sharing this journey with you ladies and really look forward to getting to know you all!
Hi all! FTM here. I received my BFP on Sunday after 17 long months of TTC. 4 weeks today and EDD is 14/11/17. Trying not to get my hopes up but it is not working! So happy to be here! Congratulations everyone!
Thanks @tripledaggerWed95976 and hot tip -- there are former ttgp ladies here who are hurting for their friends. So you know. An apology is in order. A real one.
Hi all! I'm expecting my 1st in November of '17 and my husband and I are over the moon excited. I'm a step mom to 2 amazing sweet girls - 5 and 7 years old. Being a step parent is challenging when you've not yet been a biological parent. We also are just finishing up a year of ttc with a fertility specialist and I've had 4 chemical pregnancies this past year. I'm praying so hard that God allows us to meet this precious blessing I'm carrying. I'm looking forward to supporting and praying for all of you in this group as well.

Me:35 | DH: 32 Married: 06-2024 TTC #1: Since November 2015 Restarted TTC "count" Oct. 2016 due to previous issues. ***TW*** BFP: 11/4/2016 BFP: 07/17/2024
I am
cautiously optimistic about being here… We’ve been TTC for this baby for 14
months, and this was our second IUI cycle.
I guess it’s just hard for me to believe it could actually happen after
all this time.
My
due date is November 18th, I’m a STM (My son is 6) though this is FI’s
first baby, and we live in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I am a project manager by profession, and FI
is a volunteer firefighter/IT guy.
A
lot of my nerves stem from the fact that my 6yo has a number of health problems
and developmental special needs. We’re
hospitalized quite a bit (as I sit here staring at my BFP, we are in the hospital,
have been here for several days, and will be here for several more) and I worry
that I won’t be there enough for him if we bring a new baby into the family, or
that we won’t give the new baby enough attention, or – you know – pretty much
everything. I also worry about the
health of a new baby, even though they do not have the same father, just
because of how difficult things were for poor Little 6 when he was a baby.
That
said, I am so, so happy. I had really lost hope that we’d be able to add to our
family.
~Mom to an amazing Jan 2011 boy~ ~EDD Nov 18, 2017 with my IUI success story~
@pawcall I'm sure you hear this all the time and are probably tired of it, but everything will work out. Just like it's supposed to. I don't think how much you love your new LO will have any impact on how much you love and care for Little 6. Just think about how much experience you have, and how you absolutely know you can deal with anything that comes along. You got this
Hey, ladies! I am heading over here from the wonderful TTC and TTCAL boards. I just turned 34 and got a BFP on Monday, the day after my birthday at 7dpo. I didn't realize it until I got one on Tuesday and looked back at the previous day's. We do not have any living children. I had a loss at almost 8 weeks in January and my body is still a little out of whack. Since it's so early still, I'm nervous and can't wait for my first beta / progesterone check. I am seeing a high risk OB due to clotting issues, so there is a lot up in the air. I am really hoping to get a take home baby this time!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
Hi everyone, I just found out I'm expecting my third ( edd Nov19). I had the FAINTEST line on a wondfo yesterday at 10dpo and confirmed this morning with a faint but definitely visible line on a FRER. I have 2 daughters, ages 5 and 3.5. I am 34 and DH is 32. We were TTC and so excited but at the same time the girls are older and now I can't believe I'm going to be doing it all again lol.

Surprise! Unexpected BFP 2/22/17 just when we were about to start fertility treatment!
Hi! Excited to introduce myself here! I got a positive test on Friday, and I think I'm due November 8. I have two boys - a four year old - another November baby, and one who turned one at the end of January. I'm excited and nervous for #3, especially since we'll have two under two for a bit. I'm from the Chicago area. I teach 6th grade math. I am 35, so I guess that makes me of an advanced age.
I love my other two birth month boards and am looking forward to getting to know everyone! Amy
FTM here... finally got my first ever BFP after almost two years of trying and seven rounds of infertility treatment. Our first IVF with ICSI was successful! EDD is 11/13/17! Just got the call that my second beta more than doubled; DH and I are thrilled!
Congrats to you all and looking forward to sharing this journey with you!
