Hello, All: I hope I am not jumping the gun! I sort of took the lead from the November and December 2017 Bump Month Clubs.
Congrats on your BFP! 2018 babies here we come!
Please introduce yourself here and include your estimated due date, BFP date, if you are a FTM, STM or what not and any other information about yourself that you'd like to share. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Re: Introductions!
I am an anxious hoping to be STM. I got my BFP last Wednesday, April 26th (and I've taken 1000 more since then, lol). My EDD is January 3rd (though I suspect 5th based on ovulation). My DD is 19 months old and just started sleeping through the night! Other than unsightly veins, I really do not have any symptoms. I work at a university and love my job... gives me lots of time to Bump

I conceived through IVF as we used Genetic Screening to avoid my passing on my Neurofibromatosis 1. Got my positive HPT April 24th. I am a FTM. Estimated due date is January 4th.

@Cauleyflower another bookworm here too!
I'm so, so excited to be here! Just got my BFP last Thursday, on the last day of a vacation, with an EDD of 1/8/18. I'm going to be a third time mom (I have two boys 3, and 15 months) so things are crazy in my house all the time! I like to cook, workout, read, watch hockey, and geek out over birth stuff. Can't wait to meet you all!

Baby #4 on the way!
Hi All! So excited to be here and like others, anxiously waiting for the January board to open up. I got my BFP on Thursday and my EDD is January 5th based on O! I will be a first time mom. I like reading, exercising, and bumping lol!
Cautiously excited that this will be my home with all of you for the next 9 months
BFP 4/24, EDD 1/5
Have a history of loss, IF, and MFI, so kind of shitting myself that we conceived naturally, and confirmed with blood work 4/25, 4/27 (and awaiting results for today as well).
First US will be 5/12.
I'll be a STM. DD was born Aug '14.
@KatieEl & @EmilyLove25 - I haven't been on the boards since having DD, but prior to her, I had an insanely short LP as well. Solidarity
@AnyMax nice to meet you! That's so amazing that you were able to conceive naturally after all you've been through!

Baby #4 on the way!
I got my BFP on Friday April 21st (an early birthday present, my birthday was last week!) According to my lmp my due date is December 22nd, but I've been TTC for 13 months and know I ovulated on April 10th, which would put my due date as January 1st. Since I feel so far behind on the December boards, I'll probably be more active in the January group. We also got our offer accepted on our first house two days before I got my BFP. So not only am I dealing with pregnancy symptoms I'm also in the process of moving. May is going to be a crazy month for me! I'm a FTM and so cautiously excited about this journey!

@MrsDorkCharming Congrats on both the BFP and the new house!!
Congrats everyone! I will be a FTM, got my BFP on April 22nd and have an EDD of 1/3. We are so excited! I had an appt to confirm the pregnancy but will have an US on 5/17 at 7 weeks. I live in Virginia but may be moving right smack dab in the middle of my pregnancy for DH's job. So that will be fun.
In the time between our J13 and this baby, we carried for a friend as a gestational surrogate, so this will actually be my 3rd pregnancy but 2nd LO.
Congrats to everyone one so far!!

@AnyMax CONGRATS! That is so exciting you conceived naturally! If I take into account my ovulation date, my EDD is also 1/5 (for now I am going by LMP but I know 1/5 is more accurate). Also DH’s name is Max… is it your cute dog’s name too?
@darkrose88 YES! So happy to see you here! We were going through the TWW together! My EDD based on O is also 1/5, though I am going by LMP for now only because I doubt those OPKs sometimes lol. I love exercising too! It was such a help with my first pregnancy. I ran 7 miles the day I went into labor!
@MrsDorkCharming Congrats! With my first baby I was pregnant when we got married, moved, and had our offer accepted on a house. I think it is fun having so many cool things happening at once for you!
@rachelg777 Congrats! My appointment is also 5/17 when I’ll be 7 weeks… man, time can not go quickly enough! I moved in the middle of my first pregnancy from Maryland to Ohio. It was sort of fun! Runner here too!
@Eags Congrats and yay for a natural conception! What a nice surprise! Also so cool you were a surrogate!

I got my BFP on 4/28. We tried for 20 months, did six IUI's and were just about to start IVF in June. I have NIR PCOS. I am cautiously optimistic. FYM over here.
I had blood work on Monday which confirmed a beta of 174.7 and will go back tomorrow to make sure it's doubling.
Eta: I was very active on TTGP until about six months ago, and then I've been active on the IF boards and a private group. Happy to be here too. Oh and my EDD is 1/9/18!
@EmilyLove25 @Cauleyflower @KatieEl @AnyMax @MrsDorkCharming @rachelg777 @amberulrich @gusgus14 @mrsdaddario nice to meet you all, I'm so excited to be here!
I got my BFP on April 24, 1 day before my first beta test and EDD is Jan 2 as of now (per the google machine). We go in on the 10th for the first ultrasound, and maybe just maybe then I'll start to get excited-- right now I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, thanks IF. We started IVF in January and did a FET on April 17, we struggled with IF for 2.5 years and this is my first BFP ever. I've been POAS basically every day since the 24th in order to just keep seeing the double lines get darker! I'm a total bookworm as well, I have my nook or kindle with me at all times and usually listening to audible in my car!

@MrsDorkCharming I saw you on the spreadsheet: I grew up in the bay area! Congrats on buying your first home, such a fun (and stressful!) time. We moved while I was pregnant with DS1 (with almost no warning, had to be all packed up in about 9 days), but luckily the movers did all the heavy lifting. It’s a long day, but manageable and I think easier than doing it later in your pregnancy. Plus, then you get to nest in your lovely new home!
@rachelg777 I hope that you won’t have to move far? Any chance DH’s husband will pay for people to pack for you?
@Eags that is so cool you were a surrogate! Was the experience of carrying that time different when you carried your DS?
@EmilyLove25 Team too many exclamation points! Can’t stop, won’t stop. (No really, I can’t stop!)
@amberulrich I feel those third baby nerves! I’m so excited, but when my toddler woke my baby up at 5 this morning I had a: what am I doing??? Moment!
@gusgus14 @juey1188 looking forward to getting to know you!
@mrsdaddario I was lurking on TTGP and was so happy to see your grad post! Congrats again!
@JuliaGoolia719 are you an AXO?
@PhillymommaX2 glad to have another third time mom on the board!

I'm from New Zealand and love cooking and hanging with my family. Really excited to be here and get to know you all!!!
@tsuredraider I got cholestasis last time and was induced two weeks early. If that happens again this will be a Christmas Day baby!! My doctor last time said there's almost a 80% chance of getting it in subsequent pregnancies...

Hello!
My name is Anna and I'm expecting expecting #3. Can't even believe I'm typing those words! We have a 7 year old girl and a 5 year old boy. Life has been very stressful the past couple years and we wanted to have a third child but it just didn't seem the right time... mid March I went off the pill and at the beginning of April me and my husband decided that we're ready for whatever may come our way and we were going to give it until December to get pregnant. If not that was just not God's plan for us. Well I guess God had another baby in our future because I got pregnant in April with my BFP last Friday! We had no idea it would happen so quickly!
We are super nervous but so excited our kids will have a little sibling next year! Due Jan 6.
Cant wait to go on this journey with you all. I hate keeping it a secret from everyone for now. So at least I can talk with you all! Xoxo

Congrats on all the wonderful news! It sounds like we'll have a great group!
I got my BFP last wednesday and dr. Google tells me i should be due Jan 3rd. I have an ultrasound scheduled next tuesday. I've had two betas and my levels are going up but not quite doubling which quite frankly has me super nervous. I totally had a meltdown at work today:(
I was recently diagnosed with endo (which explains a lot) and we were about to start IUI in June when boom! BFP ! We've been trying for almost a year and i have been through too many diagnostic cycles to count. So we really feel quite blessed right now.
We have a 3 yo DD who is the most amazing little human ever. I am finishing my licensing for my architecture stamp, i sing, knit and craft and love zumba!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!
I got my BFP on Apr 26, Edd Jan 6..it was a real squinter. First, this was a real shocker because my cycles are normally 35-37 days and I tested positive on cd 26. I was in the process of using opk's and wasn't getting a surge plus my body felt different so I thought I'd use one of the internet cheapies to see if it was cuz I was pregnant... Lo and behold, i was pregnant!
Then I just thought it would be a CP because the lines were so faint... But gradually it has gotten darker until I can say I'm definitely preggers. I have had two MMC's, last fetus's genetic analysis showed turner's syndrome (monosomy x), and been diagnosed with pcos... Funny thing is I was going to use femara next cycle so was just waiting for AF. I'm being followed more closely this pregnancy by the recurrent loss clinic (for free cuz I live in Canada!). Already got my HCG bloodwork today which was 374. Cautiously optimistic this time
I got a BFP on the 26th with a HPT, but had a beta today which confirmed it! I'm a first time mom, but cautiously optimistic after 2 MMC's, an ectopic and two failed IVF rounds. I guess third times a charm! EDD is currently January 5.
Glad to meet everyone!
Bethany
My name is Bekah. Today's my birthday and I just turned 36! I got my BFP last Thursday 4/27 and my EDD is 1/9/18 based on ovulation 4/18.
I'm a STM. I have an almost 3-year-old daughter who I love to pieces. She was breech and I ended up needing a c-section when I went into labor on 36:6. We'll see what happens this time.
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
