Hi Ladies! This is my first, I tested BFP at 4 weeks and 2 days. Got a scan the same day to find there was a 3.3mm dot that will eventually call me mummy. My husband and I got married 2 days before we found out so he's still in a coma from overload. Although I haven't told him, I think it might be twins. I went back today to get another scan and they showed I'd gone up to 14.5mm!!! Im only just over 5 weeks! They only saw one sac but we're saying stuff like "we'll know for sure next week"! This looks to be a whirlwind ride coming up and I can't wait to get to know you all and hear your experiences. I'm honestly still in shock and praying everything goes well. All the best to you mummies too!
Hi ladies, I’m a SAHM from Ohio. We are currently expecting our third child (due nov 8). My other littles ones are 3 years (Jan 2015) and 21 months (May 2016). So we will have three kids three and under. My oldest daughter had autism and goes to preschool on IEP. I feel like a lot of my mom stress comes from evaluating whether I’m doing everything right. Also just found out my dad has stage three pancreatic cancer which happened right along with getting a bad stomach bug and led me to believe I was stressed and not really pregnant for about a week until I was like oh wait, this isn’t going away... oops. Should have known better. Excited to be part of this community and get to know everyone.
I just got my faint BFP at 10 DPO putting my EDD at 11/17. This will be my third child and a total surprise as we definitely were not trying. My son will be 3 in July and my daughter just turned 1 in February so we will be busy. My husband and I are both 32 (crazy that I will have had 2 babies that were not twins at 32) and we live in Los Angeles. Congrats to everyone!
Hi! DH and I are expecting our 1st 11/11. After a long road of 2 MCs a failed iui and finally IVF are are thrilled and nervous at the same time. I had 2 beta hcgs already and my levels more that doubled I go back in the 13th for blood work and us. Happy to be joining this group.
Hello ladies! DH and I are due 11/13 with baby #1! We’ve been married for 4 years and ttc for 3. Finally conceived through Ivf and are overjoyed! So happy to be here!
*TW* This will be my 5th pregnancy. My last two both ended with first tri losses, one pretty early on and one near the end of the first tri. DH and I have been NTNP since the last loss in 2016. We were actually planning to start trying again and charting and temping and all that fun next month, so this BFP was quite the surprise!
So far I'm feeling pretty good and super excited to be pregnant again. My mindset is in such a good place right now and I'm really focusing on the positives and planning to enjoy this experience as much as possible.
I look forward to hanging out with you all here and having people to talk to about this since we're planning to wait at least a few weeks to tell anyone.
Newbie Here! EDD 11/3 after 3 IUIs. This is my first pregnancy and we've been trying for a good 16 (?) months or so. I'm 35 and the DH is 39. I have my viability ultrasound on Tuesday and am experiencing a lot of anxiety due to experiencing some bleeding and cramping this week. Fingers crossed
I got my BFP on March 8th. My EDD is Nov. 15. This will be my BF and I first child. It’s kinda of a whirlwind story. We have only been together for a little under 2 months. Although, this will be stressful we are both excited. I actually never thought I’d get pregnant. I’m 31 and he’s 35. We are madly in love and I'm hopeful. Can’t wait to read everyone’s updates. Congratulations to all y’all as well.
Due with #2 on 11/15 based on FF. Had betas drawn last week and things are looking okay based on that *TW has a loss in January so I’m nervous but optimistic!
Hi! I got my BFP a few days ago on 10DPO and have been testing everyday since. I will probably continue for a few more days given that I like to POAS. However, since this is officially my first day of missing AF, I figured I'd introduce myself.
Due with baby #4 on 11/18. DH is 36, I'm 38. We have a 5 yr old boy, 3 yr old girl, and 10 month old boy. TW: I've also had two first tri losses so while I will attempt taking things in stride as much as possible in the first tri, I am already anxiously looking forward to it being over. If things work out, we'll be four and done. Since it took us over a year to conceive our girl and almost a year to conceive our second boy, we decided to start trying early for #4 and lo and behold, BFP came earlier than we'd expected. Still very excited but nervous that there will be less than a two year gap between our last two!
Anyhow, I'm excited to get to meet you guys here and wish everyone a healthy pregnancy!

@alexispete why is it crazy that you will have had 2 babies that were not twins at 32? do twins run in your family?

Hi ladies! I've been lurking since yesterday because I didn't want to join in until I had my beta to confirm what my test said but I've just got the call confirming my pregnancy!
My EDD is 11/18 (4 days after my Mum's birthday, I think I win the best present this year! ) DH is 30 and I'm 29 (will be 30 at birth) and this will be our first child! We've been trying since January of 2014 and it was conceived with IVF (1st FET, 2nd transfer)! We live near Cleveland, OH and I work in IT support.
We are telling my parents and sister tonight as they all know we've been going through IVF and know we had the transfer, plus we are living with my parents right now while we are in the process of selling our house and buying a new one so it would be difficult to hide it from them. We will also be telling hub's parents and one of my aunts and uncles as they all know that we were doing IVF). We will wait a while before telling the rest of my aunts and uncles as well as everyone else!

I just got my BFP today, with an estimated due date of 11/24 (8 days after my birthday!) This is our fourth pregnancy, and we have one 2.5-year-old girl. She was our 3rd pregnancy, and it was on her that we caught my undiagnosed Hashimoto's (hypothyroidism), which might have caused the first 2 miscarriages. I have a great endocrinologist now, so we're feeling positive about the future, but also trying to hold things lightly.
I'm 33 and so is my husband. We both live in the greater Dallas area and work in education. We've been TTC for about six months, but are happy with our timing as we JUST found out that we don't have to make a work-related move previously scheduled for October 2018.
I'm super happy to be expecting 'cause DD is manifesting serious only child syndrome, but also a little nervous because I have illness anxiety disorder and really struggle with all the doctor's appointments. (I was actually induced 3 days early last time because they hadn't seen a normal BP reading on me in about 3 months, LOL!) Fortunately, I have a really understanding OB, so, while I know it will be a long journey, I'll have good support on the way.
My O15 board provided a great community as I navigated being a first-time mom (I stayed with them up through six months after my daughter was born, when they moved to another kind of board that didn't work on my phone, oop, I'm that friend) and I am looking forward to meeting an awesome new group and building up a whole new 9 months of inside jokes! I'm also excited to have a little more knowledge this time around, and hope to use it to pay forward all the great help I got a couple of years ago, as well as make some awesome new STM+ friends. Can't wait to meet you all!
@wannaflickone: Neat! I'm in no way a native Texan (or even really a Texan at heart) but I feel like it's been a great area to go through this all once with my daughter: lots of hospital choice, lots of people who are super nice to pregnant ladies in grocery stores, lots of family-friendly versions of everything, and lots of school choice for our future! (I did have an OB on the wrong side of the constuction on 635 last time, though... fortunately that's all complete this time around, because I loved me that Ebola hospital! )
Hi Ladies, I got my bfp on 3/8 with a edd of 11/11. My husband and I have been married for 8 months now and ttc since our honeymoon. We had a loss in early January at 4w6d. I’m feeling completely different this time around and at 5w2d. I won’t go until 3/29 for my confirmation appointment as I’m leaving on vacation on Saturday for my big 30 Birthday. Was nervous this morning as I feel completely normal since yesterday. Took another digi test which came back in record time with another bfp. Feeling hopeful but I’m still afraid to get to excited.
Hello ladies! I got my first super faint positive two days ago on a FRER and I got a positive Clearblue Digital yesterday, so I feel safe in saying that I'm pregnant! Yay! My due date will be November 23, 2018. I have not yet called my doctor or set an appointment since I haven't actually missed my period yet.
I am 28, DH is 33 and we live in Kentucky. We have two daughers - A is 3 and C is 19 months old.
Looking forward to getting to know you all and share in your journeys!
We got pregnant last August, but had a miscarriage in September. We also went through a chemical pregnancy earlier this year. I've never made it past 5 weeks. We weren't trying to conceive either time. I was on BCP for both and took it strictly every day.
We decided to stop the BCP in order to give my body a break and let things happen naturally. I got my first BFP Feb 27th, another one Mar 6th and another one today (been testing every week to be sure). According to my LMP and online due date calculator, I'm almost 7 weeks and my EDD is 11/1/18. I haven't been able to make my first appointment yet. Still kind of nervous.
I'm Ashley from Pennsylvania. My DH and I have been ttc for 20 months and this is my first positive! I was so nervous that it was too good to be true but we saw my RE today and got to see the heartbeat!! I'm 6w3d and beyond thrilled to be here!
Hello! Im 31 and my husband is almost 33. We have 2 beautiful kiddos. A little girl who just turned 5 and a boy who is 3. We had 2 early miscarriages before those 2 kiddos were born. We live in Texas. I am now pregnant with surprise baby #3 whos edd is Nov.17th. This was such a shock but im so excited. I cant wait to get to know everyone!
Hi All! I’m new here. I’m pregnant with #3 and due 11/17 based on ovulation but patiently waiting until April 3rd for my first OB appt! I’m 30 and my husband is 29. We are currently living in FL and we have almost 2 y.o boy/girl twins. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hi fellow Nov18 mamas! So happy to have the board up I'm 31 from Atlanta and my DH is 32. Our son is 2.5 and we're about to begin the adventures of potty training.I was in the September 2015 club. Got my BFP on March 2, my LO is due 11/8/18 but likely will be scheduled c-section before then based on previous delivery experience. My first OB appointment isn't for 2 more weeks. Excited to get to know everyone!
Also, if someone can remind me how to fix my signature, I'd love the help
Happy to join the board! DH is 29, and I'm 30; we've been married 7 years now, and we have 2 cats.
I got my first faint positive at 10DPO and a confirmation on 11DPO. This comes after 7 IUIs and a year and a half of trying with no pregnancies. Our 7th (and final, as we were planning to pursue adoption after that) IUI was successful, and we have an EDD of 11/17, I believe. Our RE confirmed the pregnancy and the HCG numbers are doubling as they should, so our first ultrasound is 3/27--just a few days after my 31st birthday.
This past IUI had 5 mature follicles, so there's a possibility for twins, but we'd be perfectly happy with just one.
Oh, and we are selling our house--we move this weekend. Because 1 huge life change just isn't enough.
Married: Nov 2010 TTC #1 since: Aug 2016 Dx: Unexplained 6 failed IUIs on Letrazole & Ovidrel Final (#7) IUI - BFP! EDD: Nov 2018 Team Pink! Me: 31/DH: 30
@soehlerk I don't envy you the moving! Hubs and I have been trying to get our house ready to list since the beginning of the year! I feel like we will never be done. Hope your move goes smoothly!!

Hello Everyone!!! I’m 27,This is my second pregnancy, and my due date is November 8, 2018. Me and my husband have been married for 5 years and are very excited to be adding another member to the family. I’m glad to be able to connect with you other expecting Mamas.
Cautiously poking my head in here, since it's still early and I'm nervous.
I'm 35 (turning 36 in October), DH is 37 and we've been married for 13 years (high school sweethearts, together for 18 years)! We've struggled with unexplained infertility, failed IUI's and a chemical pregnancy before welcoming our rainbows via IVF/FET (which seems to work just fine for us) - fraternal twin boys who will be turning 2 in late August. I swear it was just yesterday that I was cautiously dipping my toes in the September 2016 waters!
I struggle with severe anxiety, so having a group of people going through the same thing as me is a good thing and makes me feel less alone/scared.
I probably won't be around much since my boys take up all my time (I'm a SAHM) and I barely get a minute to pee in peace, let alone surf the web, but I hope to get to know you ladies as much as I can over the next several months! My last birth month board was a pretty fun and relaxed group, so I'm hoping for more of the same.
So far betas are doubling as planned and everything seems good. First ultrasound is 3/19 (next Monday). Looking forward to seeing our new LO for the first time, even if they'll just be a tiny blob at that point!
DH and I are 27 (DHs bday is tomorrow and mine is next Sat). We have 2 spawns, DD is 4 (Jan2014) and DS is my 2 year old leapling (Feb2016). We only started trying last cycle so I'm extremely surprised it happened this quickly. According to the internet, I am due November 27, which makes me 3w2d.
I haven't called to make any appointments yet, but I was really active on the J14 board and we've become so close that I'd love to try to have a board like that for this one.
I have a cat, love to sew, go to the gym, do yoga, play video games, travel, hike, and be outside exploring.
ETA we were team green with DD, found out with DS, and we're going to be TG again this time because we loved it so much
Im 29, DH is 30, and this is our very first child/pregnancy. Needless to say, we are pretty darn nervous.
A friend of mine gave birth last year and really recommended the support of a “bump board” - my due date is November 17th and I’m 4 weeks, 5 days, so still very early.
My first dr. Appointment is this coming Monday, and im hoping she will be able to calm me down a bit- she’s been my doctor for years, so I’m very comfortable wig her. I just have so many worries and questions!
@CanadianGamerMom I have a J14 baby too! I joined that board late so I missed out on creating bonds with a lot of the people on there, but I still enjoyed the board! (I had a different screen name at that time) welcome to November ‘18!
Re: Introduce Yourself Here
This is my first, I tested BFP at 4 weeks and 2 days. Got a scan the same day to find there was a 3.3mm dot that will eventually call me mummy. My husband and I got married 2 days before we found out so he's still in a coma from overload. Although I haven't told him, I think it might be twins. I went back today to get another scan and they showed I'd gone up to 14.5mm!!! Im only just over 5 weeks! They only saw one sac but we're saying stuff like "we'll know for sure next week"! This looks to be a whirlwind ride coming up and I can't wait to get to know you all and hear your experiences. I'm honestly still in shock and praying everything goes well.
All the best to you mummies too!
I just got my faint BFP at 10 DPO putting my EDD at 11/17. This will be my third child and a total surprise as we definitely were not trying. My son will be 3 in July and my daughter just turned 1 in February so we will be busy.
My husband and I are both 32 (crazy that I will have had 2 babies that were not twins at 32) and we live in Los Angeles. Congrats to everyone!
DH and I are due 11/13 with baby #1! We’ve been married for 4 years and ttc for 3. Finally conceived through Ivf and are overjoyed! So happy to be here!
My DH and I are expecting baby #3 around 11/13!
*TW* This will be my 5th pregnancy. My last two both ended with first tri losses, one pretty early on and one near the end of the first tri. DH and I have been NTNP since the last loss in 2016. We were actually planning to start trying again and charting and temping and all that fun next month, so this BFP was quite the surprise!
So far I'm feeling pretty good and super excited to be pregnant again. My mindset is in such a good place right now and I'm really focusing on the positives and planning to enjoy this experience as much as possible.
I look forward to hanging out with you all here and having people to talk to about this since we're planning to wait at least a few weeks to tell anyone.

Hi and congratulation to all on your BFPs!
I got my BFP on March 8th. My EDD is Nov. 15. This will be my BF and I first child. It’s kinda of a whirlwind story. We have only been together for a little under 2 months. Although, this will be stressful we are both excited. I actually never thought I’d get pregnant. I’m 31 and he’s 35. We are madly in love and I'm
hopeful. Can’t wait to read everyone’s updates. Congratulations to all y’all as well.
Here's to hoping for a healthy and boring nine months all around.
Edit: remove personal information
Due with baby #4 on 11/18. DH is 36, I'm 38. We have a 5 yr old boy, 3 yr old girl, and 10 month old boy.
TW: I've also had two first tri losses so while I will attempt taking things in stride as much as possible in the first tri, I am already anxiously looking forward to it being over.

We are telling my parents and sister tonight as they all know we've been going through IVF and know we had the transfer, plus we are living with my parents right now while we are in the process of selling our house and buying a new one so it would be difficult to hide it from them. We will also be telling hub's parents and one of my aunts and uncles as they all know that we were doing IVF). We will wait a while before telling the rest of my aunts and uncles as well as everyone else!

I just got my BFP today, with an estimated due date of 11/24 (8 days after my birthday!) This is our fourth pregnancy, and we have one 2.5-year-old girl. She was our 3rd pregnancy, and it was on her that we caught my undiagnosed Hashimoto's (hypothyroidism), which might have caused the first 2 miscarriages. I have a great endocrinologist now, so we're feeling positive about the future, but also trying to hold things lightly.
I'm 33 and so is my husband. We both live in the greater Dallas area and work in education. We've been TTC for about six months, but are happy with our timing as we JUST found out that we don't have to make a work-related move previously scheduled for October 2018.
I'm super happy to be expecting 'cause DD is manifesting serious only child syndrome, but also a little nervous because I have illness anxiety disorder and really struggle with all the doctor's appointments. (I was actually induced 3 days early last time because they hadn't seen a normal BP reading on me in about 3 months, LOL!) Fortunately, I have a really understanding OB, so, while I know it will be a long journey, I'll have good support on the way.
My O15 board provided a great community as I navigated being a first-time mom (I stayed with them up through six months after my daughter was born, when they moved to another kind of board that didn't work on my phone, oop, I'm that friend) and I am looking forward to meeting an awesome new group and building up a whole new 9 months of inside jokes! I'm also excited to have a little more knowledge this time around, and hope to use it to pay forward all the great help I got a couple of years ago, as well as make some awesome new STM+ friends. Can't wait to meet you all!
YEAH BUDDY!!! Congrats my friend!
I am 28, DH is 33 and we live in Kentucky. We have two daughers - A is 3 and C is 19 months old.
Looking forward to getting to know you all and share in your journeys!

Baby 3 Due: 11/23/18!
Hello Everyone.
My name is Amber. I'm 28 and my SO is 26.
We got pregnant last August, but had a miscarriage in September. We also went through a chemical pregnancy earlier this year. I've never made it past 5 weeks. We weren't trying to conceive either time. I was on BCP for both and took it strictly every day.
We decided to stop the BCP in order to give my body a break and let things happen naturally. I got my first BFP Feb 27th, another one Mar 6th and another one today (been testing every week to be sure). According to my LMP and online due date calculator, I'm almost 7 weeks and my EDD is 11/1/18. I haven't been able to make my first appointment yet. Still kind of nervous.
I'm Ashley from Pennsylvania. My DH and I have been ttc for 20 months and this is my first positive! I was so nervous that it was too good to be true but we saw my RE today and got to see the heartbeat!! I'm 6w3d and beyond thrilled to be here!
I'm 31 from Atlanta and my DH is 32. Our son is 2.5 and we're about to begin the adventures of potty training.I was in the September 2015 club. Got my BFP on March 2, my LO is due 11/8/18 but likely will be scheduled c-section before then based on previous delivery experience. My first OB appointment isn't for 2 more weeks. Excited to get to know everyone!
Also, if someone can remind me how to fix my signature, I'd love the help
1st Date: 9-1-07 ~ Married: 9-4-10 ~ DS born: 9-30-15 ~ LO#2 due: 11-8-18
I got my first faint positive at 10DPO and a confirmation on 11DPO. This comes after 7 IUIs and a year and a half of trying with no pregnancies. Our 7th (and final, as we were planning to pursue adoption after that) IUI was successful, and we have an EDD of 11/17, I believe. Our RE confirmed the pregnancy and the HCG numbers are doubling as they should, so our first ultrasound is 3/27--just a few days after my 31st birthday.
This past IUI had 5 mature follicles, so there's a possibility for twins, but we'd be perfectly happy with just one.
Oh, and we are selling our house--we move this weekend. Because 1 huge life change just isn't enough.
TTC #1 since: Aug 2016

August 13, 2020 - Son born at 37 weeks an 6 days due to failed BPP (Gestational Diabetes).
I'm 35 (turning 36 in October), DH is 37 and we've been married for 13 years (high school sweethearts, together for 18 years)! We've struggled with unexplained infertility, failed IUI's and a chemical pregnancy before welcoming our rainbows via IVF/FET (which seems to work just fine for us) - fraternal twin boys who will be turning 2 in late August. I swear it was just yesterday that I was cautiously dipping my toes in the September 2016 waters!
I struggle with severe anxiety, so having a group of people going through the same thing as me is a good thing and makes me feel less alone/scared.
I probably won't be around much since my boys take up all my time (I'm a SAHM) and I barely get a minute to pee in peace, let alone surf the web, but I hope to get to know you ladies as much as I can over the next several months! My last birth month board was a pretty fun and relaxed group, so I'm hoping for more of the same.
So far betas are doubling as planned and everything seems good. First ultrasound is 3/19 (next Monday). Looking forward to seeing our new LO for the first time, even if they'll just be a tiny blob at that point!

DH and I are 27 (DHs bday is tomorrow and mine is next Sat). We have 2 spawns, DD is 4 (Jan2014) and DS is my 2 year old leapling (Feb2016). We only started trying last cycle so I'm extremely surprised it happened this quickly. According to the internet, I am due November 27, which makes me 3w2d.
I haven't called to make any appointments yet, but I was really active on the J14 board and we've become so close that I'd love to try to have a board like that for this one.
I have a cat, love to sew, go to the gym, do yoga, play video games, travel, hike, and be outside exploring.
ETA we were team green with DD, found out with DS, and we're going to be TG again this time because we loved it so much
Im 29, DH is 30, and this is our very first child/pregnancy. Needless to say, we are pretty darn nervous.
A friend of mine gave birth last year and really recommended the support of a “bump
board” - my due date is November 17th and I’m 4 weeks, 5 days, so still very early.
My first dr. Appointment is this coming Monday, and im hoping she will be able to calm me down a bit- she’s been my doctor for years, so I’m very comfortable wig her. I just have so many worries and questions!
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
