Hello Ladies!! STM here from Arizona. My DS is 21 months and he needs a playmate! lol I tested at 9dpo because I had a bachelorette party to go to and needed to know if I could have a drink ( or 2). Sure enough "pregnant" appeared! Had two chemicals in a row, so really hope this little one sticks! I still POAS daily to make sure my lines are progressing. Paranoid much?! I hope I'm not the only one! EDD 4/11/18. Nice to "meet" you all
Hi ladies! I am feeling so blessed to be here. We have an almost 6 yo and 3 yo and have been ttc for 2 1/2 years. We had our final fet on 7/25 and had my beta draw yesterday and it was 220! It's been a long journey to get pregnant again, but we couldn't be happier! Our edd for our little boy is 4/12.
Good morning, Ladies. Actually very surprised to be here. DH and I were NTNP the last few months and due to some health issues on his part we had the least sex ever in the history of our marriage in July. Got my vfbfp this morning at 4am. It's a pleasant surprise to say the least! Approx due date 4/14. STM with a 2 year old DS. Hoping for a smooth pregnancy like my first!
Trying to remember all the shit I'm not supposed to do now. Ugh, gonna miss the wine...but I still have coffee!
Hello ladies, My name is Angie and I am 33 (H is 34). We have two other little ladies at home; Alice will be 6 in a week and Holly is 3.5 going on 16.
I'm a little freaked that I'm only 5 weeks and I swear I'm already showing. I heard you show early with the third, but at five weeks? One of my besties in the medical field said that showing this early could be a sign of twins and that terrifies me (Yes babies are a blessing, we'd be thrilled, yadda yadda yadda, but seriously, YIKES). My grandmother said that someone in my generation is up to have twins... Needless to say, I can't wait to see my doc on 8/28 and confirm one or two.
@angiek1 - welcome and congrats! I know it may feel/look like you're showing already, but it's bloat. At this stage in pregnancy the embryo is TINY (size of an apple seed) and your uterus is still firmly tucked behind your pelvis, so even if it were twins your pregnancy wouldn't be evident for quite a few more weeks.
Hey Ladies! I just got my BFP yesterday and I am due April 18th with my second. I currently live in Florida as I have moved from Michigan in the past six months. Nervous to have a new born and toddler without any family around to help. It will definitely be an adventure though!
Hi ladies! Can't believe I'm back I have a 5 and a 2 year old. Wasn't sure a 3rd would happen but here we are! We are super excited and I can't wait until I'm further along so I can tell the kids. My due date is 4/9/18 right now but I bet it'll change at the first appointment. Congrats everyone and I'm so excited!
@slabancz Seem like there are quite a few Michigan natives here! I grew up in metro Detroit and lived in MI my whole life until about 1.5yrs ago. DH and I actually moved to FL for a year before relocating (again) to Texas which is where we are now.
Hello Ladies! Finally off newbie hold! 26yo FTM from Ohio! I'm five weeks as of yesterday and I'm just dying to see what pregnancy brings. DH and I have been married 10 months, together almost 5 years and he's been ready for a baby for ages haha.
Excited to take this journey with y'all. Shout out to my April 6 EDD girls!
Hello! I am a STM. My DD just turned 3 in July. I got my BFP on July 27th!! I am waiting for my first appointment but should be due around the first week of April. I am new to the board and don't have all of the abbreviations down but am learning. Excited to share this experience with some other expecting moms! : )
Hello! I'm in some disbelief that I'm on here! Lol. I have a DS age 8 and a DD age 2. We weren't planning on having more. But fate/God ...seems to have other plans for us. I'm 5w+1 with an EDD of 4/6 according to LMP. First appointment will be on 8/11 so I guess we shall see. I'm 41 so shout out to the AMA mamas!

***March '18 October Siggy Challenge: Halloween Costume Fails***
Hello! 34yo STM here! DH and I reside in NJ. We were married in Apr 2011 and begin TTC in Oct of that year. By the end of 2012, DH was diagnosed with azoospermia. Finally we were able to get the ball rolling with the RE via third party reproduction in 2014. I got my first bfp on IUI #2 Mar14 but miscarried. Our last chance, IUI #5 Oct14, we got another BFP, which led me to join BMB Jul15. DD is now 2yo! In Nov 2016 we decided to go back to the RE to try for baby #2 but was put on hold until July due to health issues. Surprised to find out the first IUI this time around worked! So I'll be here, holding my breath...

@Melis222, aww! When's LO's bday? So do you have a miniature version of yourself walking around telling you "no" or "mine" all the time too? The terrible twos hit here before she actually turned two

Hi ladies! I got a BFP this morning at 10dpo, edd April 19th. DH and I have 2yo DD and a 5yo corgi. Congrats to all the ladies on this board, and I hope we all have very boring pregnancies!
Hi, I'm Rebecca from Chicago. I'm still trying figure out all the acronyms. I have an April 8th due date and this would be my first. I've had symptoms of bloating, breast tenderness, fatigue, and a bubbly stomach. I'm nervous about not having nausea and morning sickness as i read about thier positive implications for the baby. That said, i did preemptively change my diet and increase frequency of meals, so maybe that has helped.
Anywho, my partner and i are estatic and I've been reading and watching everything. The Buisiness of Birth and Orgasmic Birth were great. I recommend both.
Hi everyone! I'm a STM in AZ! DS will be 2 in November and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that! Anyway.. I got my BFP YESTERDAY! **TW I miscarried in December at 8 weeks pregnant and my due date is actually coming up on the 16th. So the BFP was a nice surprise to keep my mind off of that. I'm cautious yet optimistic.** I'm due around April 11th this time around. I'm super excited to be here and can't wait to bring home my rainbow baby! Although I do want to enjoy this pregnancy as much as possible and soak it all in because this may be my last pregnancy.. DH only wants 2 kids. Wishing everyone happy and healthy 40 weeks!
I'm so excited to join this group. I'm hoping to be a STM as of April 5, 2018. I'm single, from Tennessee, and an older mother with a 4 year old son. He's absolutely amazing! I've had 2 miscarriages this past year but am choosing to fight the natural fear and want to enjoy and embrace this pregnancy. So many of us have been through the same rough stuff so I say let's enjoy this amazing, scary and thrilling experience together.

Hi Everyone! I'm a FTM and excited to be here. My husband and I live in south-central KY and have been trying to conceive for 1.5+ yrs (I have PCOS). I got my BFP at 11 DPO and will be five weeks tomorrow, making my due date roughly April 9th I think.
Hi! I'm 27 and will be a FTM! My husband and I have been together for 8 years and live in Seattle. I've never been part of a forum and I'm still working on learning the lingo. I'm a working civil engineer and my husband is an electrical engineering student, graduating shortly after our due date. I had my BFP last Saturday, July 29th. Currently 27 dpo, due date of April 9th.
I've been slightly worried since I am 4w6d and the only symptoms I've had are bloating and sore breasts, but my blood tests are looking great (HCG of 845, then 72 hours later HCG of 4490). So maybe I'm lucky and will just skip the nausea and exhaustion? That sure would be nice lol. First ultra sound is August 17th which they're calling a "viability ultra sound" to rule out ectopic pregnancy. My last pregnancy was ectopic so I'm at risk for another. If you ask me, I think they should have gotten me in sooner to rule out ectopic since that's, ya know, life threatening!
Hmm, is there a character limit for these posts? My above post got cut in half.
I'm the first of all my friends and family close by to have a baby so I'm a little worried I won't have anyone (other than hubby) to go Babies R Us shopping, or maternity clothes shopping with... If there's anyone out there in Seattle, please feel free to message me and we can set up some mom-to-be dates!
I haven't held or even been around an infant in at least 10 years so I'm pretty nervous, but we couldn't be more excited!!
@hedgepig, yup. That's exactly what happened and I realized it when it did it again to my second comment haha. Won't make that mistake again! Thank you
@jkhall2010 I'm also 27 and my DH and I have been together 8 years too! My DH is a civil engineer but don't be worried about the no symptoms, I didn't have any with my first really. I was lucky to say the least.
