Hi guys! I'm 29 and DH is 37, in October we will have been married 2 years. I have two stepsons who are teenagers and this is our first together. We have been trying for a year so it still hasn't sunk in yet. My EDD per online calculator is 3/11. I work in registration in an Emergency Room and my husband is a truck driver in the oil field. I am so happy to be here! On June 29th I had a blood test to confirm HPT and a repeat on 7/3 to make sure numbers are going up. We will have to wait tomorrow for the results but my lines are getting darker on my HPT.
Hi everyone! I'm a teacher from Northern Virginia. First time pregnant, and the first time attempting. Didn't think I would be this lucky, but here I am! I'm 4 weeks 1 day, and according to calculations, dd is March 12th! I have pretty bad nausea and cramps at the moment.
@knottie9ead0848e41794e0 (by the way you can change your name under settings... it makes it a lot easier to recognize people and tag!) I went to JMU and have lots of friends in Northern VA! Congrats!
Hi everyone! This will be our first. We got our BFP on July 4th. I had my progesterone tested at 7 dpo because I am 36 and this was our 7th cycle. My dr felt like the level (12.9) was in a "gray area" so I am having my HCG and progesterone levels checked today. My EDD as of right now is 3/18/18. I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Hello Everyone! I got my BFP this morning at 14DPO. This is baby #4 for us! EDD is March 14, 2018 (will likely have a scheduled c-section around March 7th.) I'm excited but now the nerves have begun!
Just found out we are expecting baby number 3 due March 14th (as of now)! Unplanned, super surprise and excited for our third and final baby. I have a 4 almost 5 year old DS and 2 year old DD, funny enough the younger 2 will be the exact same spacing as my current kids. 2 years 9 months apart.
We have an almost 12 year old, our daughter will be 2 in a couple weeks. Hoping this little one will decide to stick around and complete our family. ♡
I've had 2 early miscarriages in the last year. One at 9 weeks the other at 6.... sooooo, until I see a little heartbeat, I'm trying really hard to keep my cool.
Hey ladies! I was a little hesitant to post but lurking has made me want to join y'all. DH and I are both 31, and this will be our second child (due around March 8th). We have a 2.5 year old son. I have anovulatory PCOS, so we used meds to conceive my son and meds + 3 IUIs for this pregnancy. My betas doubled between the first two draws (though very low), then didn't double between the next two draws, then started doubling again. I'm being cautiously optimistic, but I know I'll breathe a little easier once I have my first ultrasound in a week or two with my RE.
I am coming from the infertility board, and I was also very active on my last BMB (and made some great friends). I'm an RN, but since I had my son I only work one night shift a week. I'm excited to get to know you ladies. Oh, and I love GIFs so I hope you do too!

@dmo1371 So glad you've joined! I've been thinking about you and hoping that things would start to look up. It's really hard to jump in with both feet when you're in limbo. Hopefully we'll both get some good news at our first ultrasounds in a couple of weeks

I’m 34, MH is 37, and if all
goes well this will be our first (and possibly second and third as I was told
my beta may indicate multiples). If I’m KU with a singleton, I’m due March 14th.
If I have multiples, who knows! I have NIR PCOS and it took us 16 months,
some drugs, and an IUI to get here and I’m currently still in the “shock” phase
that our first IUI actually worked. After lovetitting and lurking this thread
for what feels like an eternity, I’m finally ready to join in. I’m not new to
TB and I’m SO happy to see many familiar names and avatars here. This is going
to be a great BMB and I’m thrilled to be a part of it and get to know you all!
@vflux33 girl I'm so excited to see you here!!! I have my ultrasound next week to see how many are in there...when do you find out if it's multiples?? I'm so psyched we get to share a bmb
Thanks @mdfarmchick! I LOVE we have so many TTGP'ers here!
@heatherdubrow I'm excited to share one with you too! Do you believe there are 4 of us unicorns here?! And there's still another week or so to maybe get some more!
My multiples check is exactly 3 weeks from today (which will be 7 weeks for me). I will be ALL over your posts next week. Did you transfer more than one embryo, or was your beta very high too? I'm a FTM so I don't know what's standard--I was so focused on TTC I didn't research actually being KU much and this is all very new to me.
@vflux33 Out of curiosity, what was your beta level? Mine was high, too, so they thought I was further along than my LMP says. Possible of course because my last cycle was irregular, but still quite strange.
@chasingroygbiv It was 730, and I'm only 4 weeks as of today (AF isn't even late yet but the RE ordered me a beta for today). Because of the Clomid and monitoring, we knew I had 2-3 eggs going into the IUI so that might be part of why she said that. What was your beta?
Over 3,000 2 days before period was due. I was pretty concerned because that seems extremely high unless my last period was not a period. In that case I'm even more nervous because I had stopped my Progesterone because my period was late and I got 5 negative tests so I stopped using them. After 2 days without prog "it" came. Normal flow for first 2 days then basically spotting the last 3. I don't know what to expect. The nurse on the phone is going by my LMP, I'm not and can't even assume how far I am with those betas. Trying not to freak out, but.. PGAL brain. @vflux33
@chasingroygbiv *TW* So sorry for your prior loss. I have not experienced that, and I'm sure it it makes all the nerves of first tri so much more difficult. When will you get an u/s to know whether you're having multiples or are further along than you thought?
Next week! @vflux33 I'm just hoping for a heartbeat.
@heatherdubrow Definitely true! That's what made the nurse think I'm further than LMP puts me because I landed in a different range than LMP had me. She talked with the doctor and wanted to order the ultrasound sooner than originally planned. Time will tell, just hoping it's nothing.. crummy.
I think I'm ready to join in the fun. Got my first very faint bfp July 1st. Took another test the next morning just be be sure I wasn't seeing things, nope a darker bfp. This will be our 2nd child. My first is a 5yo DD. She will be thrilled when we tell her. DH is also excited about this pregnancy. EDD March 8, first appointment July 19th.
Thanks @notthefather! I don't think I've mentioned this to you before, but I used to have a bit of a Maury addiction so I kinda crack up whenever I see you
Hello, all! We just got a positive earlier today. I've been around TB for a couple years, our son was born 11/2015. This wasn't a planned pregnancy, but we are so happy. Giving my OB a call asap tomorrow to get everything checked.
TW our son was a twin, but baby A miscarried very early on. I had pre eclampsia and he had IUGR, we almost lost him during delivery. I'm very cautiously optimistic for a healthy pregnancy and baby this time around!
Hey!! It's been a couple of years since I've been on The Bump but I'm happy to be here! I'm pregnant with baby #4 with an EDD of March 4th. My older children are 7, 5 and 2. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
