@ilikestars089 Feel free to chime in, wherever, whenever! There's no minimum requirement for "regulars". Any contribution counts, so don't feel like you have standards to live up to.
Hello all! I am cautiously introducing as I dealt with IF and am PGAL, but I'm just hoping for the best!
I'm 32 and my H is 31. We've been TTC#1 since June 2015 (opks and temping the whole time). After an unexplained IF diagnosis and two cycles after an HSG, I got my first bfp in August 2016. We were so excited but the early ultrasounds showed LO was not growing properly, and even though we saw a hb at 8 weeks, at the 9 week ultrasound in September LO was gone. mc details spoilered.
I opted to miscarry naturally, which ended up being a long drawn out mistake of two months of constant bleeding due to it being incomplete, ending in a D&C/D&E after Thanksgiving. I finally felt back to myself and we started ttc again in January.
I got my bfp on 3/27 at 11dpo, 3 cycles ttcal. EDD is December 7! I am desperately hoping that this will be our take-home baby, and I look forward to getting know you on the journey!

@GraysonsMama@seelo The last bmb board I was part of had a lot of crafters in it. For awhile we were doing a weekly check in to share pics of the projects we were working on for our babies and older kiddos. Not sure if we have a ton of crafters this time but I'll totally start a separate discussion every once in awhile if people are interested in sharing projects and such!
Hi! It's still a little early, but I got my first BFP this past Sunday, April 2nd at 9DPO. Based on my LMP I'm 3 weeks, 5 days, and due December 16th. My husband and I are cautiously optimistic, and looking forward to progressing further along! This will be our first child.
I have spent the last four days frantically Googling (not the greatest idea), and already went to the doctor for a blood test (also not the greatest idea because the evil alarmist PA scared the hell out of me), so I'm hoping joining in here helps keep me calm. Looking forward to being a part of this board!
Hello all! I'm Katherine and I live in SoCal with my two cats, husband and 2-year-old son.

Fun Fact: This is an IUI baby, so I know for sure my fetus was conceived on St. Patty's Day. Luck of the Irish!

Hi I'm Ashleigh. This will be #3 for me. I am from PA but we moved to VA about 2.5 yrs ago. I am not sure my exact due date as I am still nursing my 19 month old and I haven't gotten my period back since she was born in sept of 15. My oldest will be 6 in July. I was very active on august 11 and august 15/sept 15 bmb. I also joined nov because I am thinking my due date will be anywhere from 11/28-12/5 based off betas and when I got my bfp on 3/22. First appointment isn't until may 9th so I am anxiously waiting to figure out my due date!
@Bailey1823A She was born on 9/22. I think I am due somewhere around the 13th. I am hoping they can get me in for a dating us soon after my bw on Monday. It is really hard not knowing a due date! Exciting that both our children will be the same age, maybe you can help me with some of my nervousness about balancing it all.
I'm Erika and my EDD is 12/8. I got my BFP on 3/27. This is our second baby! Our daughter will be one on April 27th. I've become great friends with the moms is my A16 group so I am so excited about our D17 group!
I'm so happy to finally be joining. I just got my BFP this morning after 20 months of TTC. My EDD is December 16 (my own estimation based on LMP and ovulation date).
*TW* I had a miscarriage last March at seven weeks and although we started trying again immediately, it took a full year to happen.
I really want to take this one day at a time, allow myself to feel happy and excited right now as I realise I can't control whatever happens in the following months.
In other news, I'm Irish but I live in Italy with my Italian SO. This will be our first child. We also have a 4 month old labrador. I work in childcare so I hope that experience will be useful in the future.
I lurked on the TTC board on and off over the past year and a half but I'm looking forward to taking part more here.
I'm 34, SO 39 TTC since July 2015 Unexplained infertility - delayed/weak ovulation but don't know why BFP Feb 2016 MC at 6.5 weeks Started Clomid November 2016 BFP March 2017 (third cycle on Clomid) HCG failed to rise, MC at 6 weeks. IUI July 2017 BFP which turned out to be CP IVF scheduled for Feb 2018
@jlemons-2 my dd was born 9/4. This will be number 3 for me but I am more nervous this time since there isn't a gap between them. The 4 yr age gap between 1-2 was pretty easy imo. Do you work? That is the hardest part for me. Balancing work and home. What was your first beta? My ob made it sound like I'd get in early this time since we had no idea if dates but my first appointment and u/s isn't until may 9.
@Bailey1823A I do work full time plus I am a part time college student! My first beta was 185. They said that nice my second beta is done they will decide on the us. May 9th seems so far away!
Hello ladies!!! I'm a second time mom DD born on Dec 13th 2015 EDD for our new nugget is Dec 03rd, (gonna be a busy month for us )got my BFP on March 23rd and I'm so excited to see my family growing!!! I look forward to getting to know you ladies.
I just want to say congrats to everyone expecting in December! This time last year, I was expecting my first baby and LOVED interacting on the monthly board. DS ended up being a November baby (due date 12/12/16, but wanted to make his grand entrance into the world on 11/21/16).

Hello! I'm Alexis and this is my fourth pregnancy. I'm 35 and my EDD is Dec 2/17. I have a 6 year old son, a 3, almost 4 year old daughter and a 16 month old daughter.
My husband and I were on the fence about a 4th baby and we got a surprise BFP on April 3.
Hi everyone! I'm Alyssa and I'm 24. I just received my BFP today! Texted my midwife and she said my EDD is 12/23 merry Christmas lol.
This is our second baby. I was on the November 2015 board and was due 11/30, but DS came 12/3. I stuck with the November girls because they are amazing.
so excited to be back. This board was always such a great help to me when I was a FTM, and I'm sure it will be just as helpful and fun this time around! Congratulations ladies!
Hello! My name is Tesha and I'm from Utah. I am 25 and DH is 27, we've been married since 2012. DS is 10 months so we're freaking out a little bit but so excited for our littles to be so close in age.
BFP April 1 EDD December 2
This baby is a little earlier than we were planning so we are surprised but also completely thrilled.
Hi ladies! My name is Kymberly. I am 30, DH is 32. We have 2 dogs, 24 chickens, and 2 llamas. My EDD is Dec 4th based on when I think I ovulated. This is my first pregnancy and it still doesn't feel real! I took 9 home pts, all positive. I still don't think it will feel real until the first ultrasound which is scheduled for April 21st! I'm new to these boards and so excited to meet you all and make some new friends!
Hi! I'm Maureen, I'm from Pennsylvania, I'm 33, have a 3 yo.. this is my 6th pregnancy and hopefully baby #2. Edd is 11/30/17 (but I think it's more appropriate to be in the December group)... given my history I've already been to the doctor 6 times.. they were monitoring my Hcg and progesterone levels every two days and they did an ultrasound last Monday. Now I have weekly ultrasounds. Praying hard for a sticky rainbow baby this time around. We've been trying for about 2.5 years for baby 2. We saw two different groups of fertility docs and the first one told me that IVF was my only option... I've now been pregnant 4 times naturally since doctor told me that.. 2nd practice re-ran all the tests and said they didn't think IVF was my only option... despite blood clotting tests coming back normal they advises starting baby aspirin daily and I am happy to be pregnant naturally again. We did months of follistim injections and IUI that didn't work... and I got pregnant naturally. Really hoping this is our rainbow baby. My 3 yo is also a rainbow baby.
Hi everyone! After brushing off the fact that my period was 13 days late and noticing that I was feeling a little crummy (I just thought I was eating too much sugar and gluten) and that my taste for coffee (which I always love) was gone, I decided I should take a test on April 6 "just in case."
I'm 30 and my wife and I are expecting our first on December 2nd. We were definitely expecting it to take a little while but I got pregnant after our first IUI. We used a fertility clinic so I've had a couple of ultrasounds at this point and go for my third on Monday.
It's been a bit of a rocky start. My hcg was super low at the first draw (9.6) but it has since doubled appropriately and as of the last US there was a yolk sac! I'm also on progesterone because it was at a 5 initially. We're cautiously optimistic and starting to get excited.
Hi All!! I am SO happy to be here!! I am 28, DH is 30. We have been TTC for about 3 years and have had 3 miscarriages (Dr thinks ALL 3 were ectopic, was only treated for the first one though). SO after IVF, I am here! EDD is 12/1. We got our BFP on 3/25. HCG #1 223, HCG #2 571 and HCG #3 5,457 So we are pretty hopeful for this one! This will be our first baby

Hello! Congrats to all on your BFPs - happy and healthy 9 months to all!
This will be our 3rd baby, due Dec 16th or 17th. DH and I have a 2y 4m daughter and a little boy who is one week shy of his 1st birthday. We are going to be BUSY :-D
little bit nervous about being so close to the 3 under 3 umbrella - this was a planned pregnancy, because we love the close age gaps, but whew - any tips, tricks, or gear suggestions would be wonderful!
so excited to be here
