Welcome to the March 2018 BMB! 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
Hi there! FTM here I got my BFP on 6/21 and currently have an EDD of March 4! I WFH and love spending the day with my keeshond pup. A huge shout out to the TTGP board (my first home on TB) I hope to see so many of those ladies join this BMB. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Hi! My name is Katie (28) STM here. I have a 16 month old. I decided to wait until I missed my period by a day or 2 until I took a test and got my BFP (today) 6/27/17 I am 4 weeks and 2 days pregnant with our 2nd! We are due March 4th ! Can't wait for this group to fill up!
Hi Ladies! My post is full of *TW* so I'll just make that clear up front. I don't even know why I have the balls to post here right now, but here I am.
I have been around TB for a loooong time - about a decade. I have a 10 yo and 5 yo. After a surprise pregnancy with my first, I have struggled with secondary infertility ever since. After 2 years of TTC #2, I was blessed with my 5 yo on a break cycle after having an allergic reaction to a fertility med injection. We started trying for #3 when my second was 6 months old, in mid-2012. After 4.5 years, I got a natural BFP last October and unfortunately lost my baby at 9+1 due to a massive SCH (I had also managed to contract parvovirus so I'm guessing that had something to do with it). After our loss, we decided to go back to the RE and began treatment with IUI. I managed to get a BFP on my 3rd IUI but not until a blood test showed a positive at 18 dpo with a beta of 11. It's been doubling with every test but with an implantation that late, the odds are not in my favour. Plan right now is to do a 4th beta tomorrow and if everything keeps progressing, an ultrasound next week. I'm so tired of being in limbo but it is what it is. Based on LMP, my EDD would be February 28, but based on the late implantation I'm probably about a week behind so I'd be due some time the first week of March. I don't have it in me yet to figure out an exact date.
Anyway, I just wanted to jump in and say hello. Being in such a precarious state, I probably won't participate much right now but I wanted to introduce myself in case things start to look up and you're wondering who this person is who all of a sudden starts commenting on things.:)

I intro'd on February 2018 because I'm due March 1st. This is our 5th pregnancy and hopefully 4th child. We have a 7,6, and 3 year old. I am a nurse and also in NP school. I am looking forward to getting to know you all! Congrats to everyone on the positive pregnancy tests!!! *******TW*************
@tosh24 Praying for good numbers and healthy baby! I haven't struggled like you have, but I did suffer a MMC in April. I'm beyond paranoid. We aren't telling anyone (well I'm telling you all lol) because last time my husband and Dad told everyone. Then I had to tell the story about what happened over and over again. Broke my heart every time. My numbers were low, but they quadrupled in 48 hours. Still not great numbers, but at least they are going up. I'm also on progesterone and high dose folic acid. Fingers crossed. I also had a fairly large SCH on ultrasound
Hi, everyone! I'm a second-time mom (have a 20-month-old daughter), and very excited to be expecting again (due date should be around March 6). A little nervous since we have had 2 miscarriages, but hopeful and enjoying every minute! I work from home, and really like to cook/bake.
Hi, everyone! First time mama here - with a due date of 3/1. I got my BFP on 6/18 but confirmed by blood test on 6/23.
****TW*****
After about a 2 year TTC journey - this is our 2nd FET. The first FET resulted in a chemical as well as my first natural pregnancy. We are cautiously optimistic that this baby is extra sticky (we've had really good betas). Longest I've been pregnant - so I'm taking it as a good sign
Hi Everyone!!! I have been waiting for this board to open!! I am so excited to be here!!! I got my BFP last Friday, 6/23 (got a super squinter on 6/21 and slightly less squinter on 6/22). Anyway, I have an 11 month old.. we wanted to have our first two close together but I am a little nervous about two under two!!! I am not exactly sure when my due date is. Somewhere between 3/1 and 3/5 as my LMP was 5/25, but I know for sure I ovulated late. I was active with my Aug 16 BMB and they are now some of my closest friends... the first to know about my BFP! Last pregnancy I ended up with cholestasis and had to deliver at 37 weeks. It is very common to have it in subsequent pregnancies so I may end up with a February baby. Congrats to all of you!!!
Hello mom's to be! First timer here! I got my BFP actually a day after my husband and I's 3rd wedding anniversary! We married June 22, 2014 and have been together since March 26, 2008. Jokingly I had told him I would have loved to have given him a BFP for our anniversary, weeks before it actually had happened. Well, what do you know I took it on 6/23 and found out we are going to be parents! We are VERY excited and nervous to be first time parents but I know with this group of momma's, we aren't alone. I cannot wait to get to know you ladies more and welcome March 2018 babies!
@kierstenvictoria you owe the lovely and wonderful women of TTGP a huge apology.
Hi everyone! I was participating in Feb 18 then recently found out I'm due March 1st. Hey due date buddy @fiddleRN79 We conceived via IVF FET after a TW m/c in April (also a FET) end TW I'm super excited to be here and get to know everyone. I have 2 daughters, and 2 furry babies. I used to be a nurse but am now a SAHM.
Hi, @kierstenvictoria! We are happy to have you here. I'm sorry you have gotten some negative responses already- you are welcome here and we are excited for you! Bummed that the negativity found this board already and cluttered our intros with mean gifs. Please ignore and stay here!
@stow2009 I can tell you with absolute certainty that no one who posted in response to Kiersten are mean girls. Our friends were really hurt by her, and they are owed an apology. Thats all.
@heatherdubrow yep! you got it. Dr. is trying to move me to suppositories on Friday, but I'm hesitant, I haven't heard great things, and I don't mind the PIO injections.
