FTM here and cautiously optimistic to be joining you with an EDD of 5/3, which puts me at 4+2! I got my BFP earlier this week and my betas have risen appropriately. *TW* I had a loss at 11 weeks in June with a subsequent D&C- PGAL brain has been rough even in these few days but I'm trying to work on that. End TW* I came over from TTGP but mostly lurked and participated on the benched/TTCAL threads as my doc had literally just given me the green light before I got my BFP. Shoutout to you badass ladies! Anyway, I'm so hopeful to get to know everyone over the next 9 months and wish us all H&H pregnancies!
I'm a fellow pgal ftm. We will keep each other sane. There are sadly a few of us on the May board. Welcome
Name is Mattie. I'm 28, a Lyft driver, baker, artist. Am I already crocheting baby blankets??? Yuppers.
I had an early MC last month; that bubs wasn't a sticky baby. But I changed my lifestyle dramatically (the last was a huge surprise as we are always super careful) and despite being careful like usual... oops? Best oops ever. EDD: May 1.
I have a daughter already, who is 10. She's the absolute best and now that we have found someone we want to spend our lives with, it is only better! It feels like our little family is going to be complete, you know?
I got my positive this morning, but have known for almost a week. I didn't suspect until I got some spotting six days ago, and when I had cramping and no AF-- well, lol. I knew. No doubt in my mind except that maybe I was going crazy.
I haven't even told him yet!! His birthday is in a few days, so I figured I could probably wait until then. Maybe. We will see.
Glad to be here and in a warm community. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
I'm a STM with a beautiful almost-2 year old boy. I got my BFP about a week ago. I had a loss not too long ago, so I'm crossing my fingers that this little one sticks!!
When I'm not chasing around my toddler, I'm also a full time paediatric Occupational Therapist.
I was involved with the bump with my first pregnancy in Oct 2015 and a group of about 20 of us who branched off are still super close - I look forward to forming equally meaningful relationships with this pregnancy too.

Hello to a fellow therapist! I'm an SLP for adult neuro! Welcome!
@justsuzie@jenbry424 Thank you! And I'm sorry for your losses. As much as I would rather no one be in that boat it's nice knowing others can relate and we can all support each other!
*lurking* @rachelg777@labgrand2012@rosemaryandthyme Congratulations to you all! Have the happiest, healthiest 9 months and give each other a lot of awesome PGAL support.
Hello everyone. I'm 30, a FTM, and new to The Bump. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and having some mutual support over these 9 months
I believe my EDD is around 5/7. I found out I was pregnant while at a RE appointment...which is a pretty good example of what a worrywart/stressball I am.

Glad to have you here! I'm 5/7 as well, I think we're the only two so far!
I'm a long time bumpie, but have not been on the actual site for awhile. I met my tribe (may '12) years ago and was on TTGP before that. I was again on TTGP a few years ago and I've been part of an off group for awhile, and I'm pretty sure I have an obnoxious siggy right now (I'm mobile and can't see or change anything! Haha). I apologize in advance! I will adjust it when I'm desktop again.
i have a 5 year old and I am now PGAL/PGIF. My son was conceived in a prior marriage, and my partner and I have been TTC since January '15. We have unexplained secondary infertility. It's been a really long hard journey, but here I am! We have done 33 cycles, 3 months on Clomid, 2 IUIs and 1 cycle IVF (which finally resulted in this pregnancy!!!). We also have two embryos in storage. We have had a chemical pregnancy and a miscarriage at 5w (both times were conceived naturally). We are cautiously optimistic and taking it one day at a time, but enjoying being pregnant finally!
I tested today at 8dp5dt and saw two beautiful lines! My EDD is May 6th. I go for betas on Wednesday and on Friday.
I look forward to getting to know you guys!
Me: 31 SO: 34
TTC since January 1, 2015. Together we have three boys who are 4 (mine), 7 (his) and 10 (his).
CP (July 2015) and M/C @ 5w (Feb. 2016)
DX Unexplained Secondary Infertility
3 rounds of Clomid - BFNs (Nov/Dec '15, May '16) 2 IUIs - BFNs (May & June '17) IVF August 2017 - BFP!! First Beta - 365
Hi everyone , I am according to google calculator due 5/6 I tested positive on Thursday the 24th 6DP5DT . We had the embryo PGD tested so hopefully she continues to stick ( no more frozen). I have a 2 1/2 year old March 2015 baby. I was on the March baby board before the bump craziness happened , and joined the group of mommies on the Facebook group. I also have a 16 year old son. My first beta will be Wednesday and , I continue to pee on sticks daily. I also take PIO shots daily hoping my levels are good, and we have a healthy baby come May 2018!
Hi all, I'm new to the bump, but STM with a little boy 21months. I'm due 1st may, but I'm Australian, so I guess that makes it 30th April for you guys? we had an early loss in may this year and I've just learnt the acronym PGAL. And yes, I'm freaking out with worry, but terrified of POAS again, so I just have the one super dark hpt to go off! (Plus loads of early symptoms!) I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!
*lurking from ttgp* @labgrand2012 congrats girl! So happy for you

TTGP December Siggy Co-Winner: Favorite Moments from Holiday Movies/TV
Hi everyone! I am a TTM with a 13 yo DS and a 2 yo DD. I was a member of the July 2015 bump group before all the craziness happened. DD ended up being born in June. Both DS and DD were born a month early. With DS, I actually had the exact same due date I have now (5/5!) and he was born 4/3, so I'm fully expecting an April baby. I'll start progesterone shots at 16 weeks like I did with DD to try to keep this one in as long as possible. I had a chemical pregnancy before getting pregnant with DD, and it took us almost a year of TTC before getting pregnant this time, so I'm a ball of nerves! Wishing everyone H&H pregnancies and looking forward to getting to know all of you!!
I am a STM and have a DD that turned 3 in May. I relied on my May 2014 board for EVERYTHING during my pregnancy and it was my saving grace. Hopefully I can actually contribute something this time!
My husband and I had been debating whether we wanted a second child and in July I stopped taking my bc. About ½ way into month 2 I got cold feet and my anxiety took over and I decided I would start taking it again after I got my period. Well... a higher power had other plans and at my annual exam on Friday I was told I was pregnant!
Despite freaking out a little, it will be so fun. I was an only child so I'm looking forward to seeing my daughter have a sibling.
Im a working mom, hate pumping but give it my best shot. I have a DH, two insane dogs, and one cat. Needless to say our house and hearts are full. I hope I will stick around in May. My first appt is the 15th so I only have my EDD from an online calculator, which is around May 5.
Hi all! Im a STM, my DD was born April 2016. My estimated DD is actually April 30th, but like some others on here I felt so far behind the April BMB group I decided to settle here. We've been trying for a few months and I started to get some squinters on Aug 15th with my official BFP on Aug 17th. With periods of bloating I look like I'm 5 months pregnant at times already...I guess everything is still stretched out from my lovely first! I'm a pediatric speech therapist and excited to see a lot of other SLPs in here too. Praying this sweet baby is sticky so I can journey through the next 9 months with you all ❤️❤️
Hi everyone! I can't believe I'm back here again! We had our daughter in November of 2014 and I haven't really been active since. We've been TTC since around March. I took a test 8/22 (1 day before Aunt Flo) and it was negative, so I adopted the "oh well, we'll try again next month" motto again. 4 days later and Aunt Flo was a no-show, so I took another test on 8/26 and it was positive!! I'm soo excited to be on this journey again! I'm especially excited because the EDD I calculated is right around my MIL's birthday! (BTW, I have the best MIL in the world, love her to death!) All the sticky prayers and thoughts you have would be appreciated. After losing our first rainbow baby in 2013 at 5.5 weeks, it's still a scary thought to possibly go through it again. Good luck and congratulations to all my fellow May moms and may the yucky symptoms be few and far between for all of us!
@amystumpf86 DS2 is an April 16 baby too! I'm 5 weeks tomorrow and with the bloat look 5 months as well and it's making it really hard to hide. Edited because pregnancy brain and I hit post too soon.
Hi ladies! I got a positive last Monday and I think my estimated due date is May 2nd. We just celebrated my daughters one year birthday on Saturday so I am excited but also overwhelmed lol!!
I'm cautiously joining this board. Mostly because I don't want to tell anyone yet and I need to tell someone. I am a STM. My son is 6 and starting 1st grade in a few days. I got a very faint BFP this morning. I have had several miscarriages in the past. Honestly, this doesn't feel real yet. I may just stalk the board for a while. I was very active in my first son's BMB and plan to be here if this little guy sticks around.
So first off, I cuss a lot... Like a lot a lot... I just took a test today and it's positive. Apprently SO's pull out game wasn't as good as we thought it was? Anyway, I digress... This will be our second. I'm an Ap16 (Although he was technically born in March, that's the group I fell into early on, and we're all still friends in real life) mommy with a boy. I'm terrified. Our plan was to wait until DS was 4 or 5 before trying to conceive again... Doesn't look like that's happening now.
To to be completely honest, I'm terrified right now. I suffered from labor induced ptsd, and antenatal depression with my last pregnancy. I don't want to go through all of that again. Hopefully it won't, and I'll be looking into finding a therapist to guide me this time around. (Also, better pregnancy care)
I'm a SAHM, part time ballet instructor, pseudo hippie, that likes to run. DS was exclusively breastfed after the first month, when we supplemented. My EDD is 5/3. Apparently I'm not running that race in April now
Hi ladies!! I am STM with an April 2015 DD. I am so excited to finally get to put her in the "big sister" shirt that I bought back in May, haha. My cycles are long so I think my EDD is May 1, by the doc may give me a late April due date. We got our positive test Friday night.
I am a full time attorney so DD goes to daycare. When I had DD I was just finishing up law school so I took a year off to stay home with her. It will be really different for me to have only 12 weeks with this little one.
I am happy to be here with all of you and I wish you a happy & healthy nine months!
Hi everyone! FTM here. I got a positive today after a couple days of being in limbo. This is my very first pregnancy so I'm super nervous and excited. Today is a Monday so I had to go straight to work without even processing what is happening with DH. EDD is May 9th.
Hi all! I got my BFP on 8/26! It's has been a crazy summer so this some great news to cap it off. My DH and I are recently married (very recently 8/12/17!). In the midst of wedding planning we had a MMC in June after 9 weeks. That was hard, especially because at the time I was on BC. We had planned to start trying right after the wedding. He has a 6 year old daughter (who is absolutely amazing that we share 50/50 with her mom). After our loss we decided to only use protection until my cycle returned to normal and then see what happens. Must have happened either on the honeymoon or slightly before! I'm excited to join the board and go through this journey with you ladies and also holding my breath for week 12. Congrats everyone! We won't be sharing the news for awhile with family or friends but my EDD IS 5/2/18!
