Hi, everyone, I'm catlady! I'm 36 and DH is 40. I got my BFP on April 23rd, and am due (according to the calculators) on January 4th! This is our first child and we are cautiously optimistic for a sticky bean! I am on progesterone to help support the pregnancy, but all seems well so far!

catlady2015 · April 2018

@BumpAdmin - sticky, please?

dasdonet · April 2018

Hi, everyone! I got my BFP on April 23rd and EDD is January 6th. I have one living dd and multiple losses. This pregnancy is also highrisk sure to my daughter having a NTD. Wishing sticky vibes for us all!

whaat · April 2018

Hey guys! I'm 30 years old and this kid will be my 2nd. My son is almost 18 months old, and I was in the November '16 group. I'm actually due December 29th but last time I was induced at 41+2 so I probably actually go here if you'll have me.
edit: I was even later than I originally remembered ugh

@dasdonet @whaat - welcome!! happy you're here!

olivemomma · April 2018

Hi Ladies! I’m cautiously introducing myself here after getting my BFP on 4/26. DH and I are both 34 and this will hopefully be baby #3 for us! I was briefly part of October 18 group but sadly had a missed miscarriage, so here is hoping for a sticky baby this go around!! I’m honestly not exactly sure of my due date as I had a weird period last month, but I’m sure it should be sometime the first week of January - coincidentally the week of my 35th birthday! I’m hoping that’s a sign that this one is meant to be. Hoping for a happy and healthy 9 months with everyone!

BitterBetty12 · April 2018

Hi everyone! I’m SUPER nervously cautiously posting over here. I’m 28 and DH is 26. I got a BFP on 4/23. I *think* I’m about 4+1 today due on 01/04 but I wasn’t tracking so that’s an estimate.

I’m a long time bumpie with a 10mo DD who was born in June. I was not a part of June17 because I let PGAL anxiety get the best of me, but I was active on TTGP and TTCAL in 2016. Still active in some private groups (previously AliciaGoose).

*TW* I had a loss between 6-7 weeks before DD, and I had a CP last cycle, so I’m just taking things day by day but hoping for the best! *End TW*.

sfgiantsgamerbabe · April 2018

*waves* I got my BFP on April 23rd after I thought I had a normal period. Total shock! I called my doctor and after a bunch of blood work and ultrasound everything looks good! I’m 4 weeks today and EDD is January 9th. I ovulated really early (cd 10) this cycle so it’s still pretty early. This is baby #2 for us. DS was born in January 2015 and I was pretty active on the the January 2015 BMB. Super excited to have another January baby!

ETA: DH and I are both 33. I’m 4 months older

dubcompanion · April 2018

Hey all, I tested at about 10 DPO on 4/21 and got a super faint BFP. The lines are now nice and bold, and it’s really starting to kick in that this is really happening!

I have an almost 14-month-old DD who was born March 2017. I was pretty active in that BMB, and I’m still very close to those ladies thanks to FB. (Don’t worry, I won’t be that weirdo who urges people to join an FB group when we’re still barely showing.

I actually waited until after DD was born to join M17’s.) Prior to that, I was active on TTCAL and made some amazing Bumpie friends there. What up, @BitterBetty12!

Anyhoo, I’m excited and nervous to be doing this again. Online pregnancy calculators put me at a due date of 1/2/19, but we’ll see if I make it into January. (DD broke my water right at 38 weeks.) I’m going to hang with you guys anyway if that’s cool.

rhf86 · April 2018

Hey guys! I'm 31, and had a BFP on 4/27! After a loss, we are hoping this will be our first child. As of right now, our due date will be January 5th.

Congrats again @catlady2015!
So happy to see you here @olivemomma!

Fx crossed and prayers for you both (and everyone) for sticky beans!

claracloverf · April 2018

I've already posted in Dec 18 but I see that some ladies who are unsure if they're dec or jan are posting in both, So i shall do the same.

I'm Clara; I'm 24, I'm married to my husband Matt for a year,He is 35. We where TTC for around three months before we concieved this baby. He is an Ex Military Medic as well as a ER Doctor and I'm a hairstylist. We live in Chicago and we love every second of it. I have a pinterest where I plan to post weekly updates and I already do post Meal Plans and I'm gonna be posting Monthly Look-Books. I am looking forward to using this site and getting to know some other moms, If anybody wants to talk they can feel free to message me somehow, Keeping in mind that I'm new to this site and unsure of how to use most functions.
**TW**
This is my Rainbow baby after a loss with my ex boyfriend when I was only 17.. I dont think i've really mentioned this, but I dont see any harm in mentioning it, since i've seen others mention their losses...
**End TW**

baby1wasbornintoheaven · April 2018

I was in the July 2018 bored but lost my son at 18 weeks due to having full trisomy 13, a severe heart defect and a couple other things. Had testing done and not genetic so hopeful with this pregnancy but trying to not get overly attcached until the ten week scan and testing. My boyfriend and I are hoping this will be our bring home baby

nasalot188 · April 2018

thecoldbothersme · April 2018

Hi! I am nervous to post here, because I only got a super faint BFP, but its my first BFP after 2.5 years of fertility treatments. This is our 2nd FET and hoping it sticks in there good! (I had one loss at 13 weeks 6 years ago) I am very excited to be here and enjoy every minute of pregnancy.
My EDD is Jan 11 (edited to update EDD, calculated wrong, my bad. Also got a Digital BFP on 4/29

)

olivemomma · April 2018

@nasalot188 @chopchop25 thank you ladies so much! I miss the October ladies and hope everyone is doing well!!

emmaaa · April 2018

DH and I are both 27 and this will hopefully be our second. We have a 1.5 year old daughter who keeps us super busy and are hoping to complete our family.

I tested starting a few days ago and it was all negative but still very early. I tested last night and got a super faint positive line or something. This morning I got a FRER and a digital and they were positive.

According to LMP my due date is 1-7.

lacroixliz · April 2018

Hi All!
I'm 34 and DH is 39. This is our first pregnancy after TTC for 20 months. We did lots of testing and treatments and then somehow got pregnant on our own while we were waiting for the 'next step'. I'm extremely thankful for this but it still does not seem real. I'm attempting to be cautiously optimistic.

According to my ovulation date from opks/ temping our EDD is 1/4/19. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

catlady2015 · April 2018

@lacroixliz - wow, another 1/4 baby! @BitterBetty12 and I are both due that day as well! welcome!

ChasingTheDog · April 2018

Hello! I’m due with #2 on 1/1. My daughter is 6. *TW*I’m excited and nervous as I had a miscarriage in october thats took forever (felt like it, anyway) to resolve. I cant wait fir the first appointment cause i knew something wasnt right on the first us witg the miscarriage and i feel like if i can get over that hump, i’ll be less nervous. *END TW* Also, I’m 35 and will be 36 for delivery—so AMAs in the hooooouuuusssseeeee!

oldiebutgoodie80 · April 2018

Hey everyone! I am 37 and husband is 41. We have a 2 1/2 year old son, and 14 and 18 year old bonus sons from my husbands previous marriage. We are cautiously optimistic and excited to add one more (final) munchkin to our family.

It has taken me a while to get a cycle back after 2 1/2 years of Mirena. I was starting to worry that it just wasnt in the cards for is. BFP 4/26 EDD, January 10th.

Congratulations to you all!

galactickates · April 2018

Heeeeeeey!

We did it!
I am cautiously introducing myself here as I would love the support at this early time. **TW - I had an ectopic pregnancy discovered at 9 weeks in Nov so I wont be able to relax until i find out LO implanted in the right spot. end tw**

I am from a city outside of Portland Oregon, H is 36 and I am 33, we got married in July and have been together for 4 years. My EDD is January 5th based off of my LMP. We have two adorable fur baby doxies and I am a FTM. I am excited to get to know everyone and hopefully get our take home baby.

rooonilwaazlib · April 2018

Hi all! I am cautiously introducing myself here...My wife and I have been married for three years trying to get pregnant with our first kiddo since last December. We've been using IUI, meds, and frozen donor sperm. I got my first BFP yesterday AM and I am still shocked! I've taken four more tests since then and they're all positive too.

@catlady2015 I am on progesterone too...delightful shots in the butt every night! I'll go for beta testing tomorrow AM to find out some official info. Looking forward to getting to know you all better!

catlady2015 · April 2018

@galactickates - OMG, lady! *squeeeee!!!!* I am SO SO SO excited for you!

catlady2015 · April 2018

@rooonilwaazlib - you have the shots? I'm on the suppositories. not sure which is worse, tbh. GL tomorrow morning for your beta!

galactickates · April 2018

thank you @catlady2015!! it feels really strange to be posting, I had convinced myself it wasn't going to happen for such a long time. I was so relieved and shocked to see that BFP!

coco2787 · April 2018

*lurking*

OMG @galactickates yay!!! So freaking excited for you!

rooonilwaazlib · April 2018

@catlady2015 yes! We originally used crinone because I got a 2 week supply from my Reproductive Endo. My insurance sucked and it was going to cost an obscene amount of $ (about $550 per two week supply) for crinone and a mere fraction of that for the PIO shots. I've since switched insurance but will still stay with the PIO shots. It is a literal pain in the butt, but I will gladly take this through the next few months instead of the gawd-awful side effects of the crinone. The dryness, the gross clumps (Sorry if TMI!)....I was not a fan!

THX and will update tomorrow when I have some more news!

dragonette505 · April 2018

**lurking** @galactickates OMG!!!!! So did you use a homemade pregnancy test to make sure!?!? Lol omg! I’m so happy for you!!! (Psst I may be joining here soon, myself, lol I’m looking for toothpaste, dandelions and baking soda lolol)

galactickates · April 2018

@dragonette505 omg yes i stared deep into the toothpastes soul it said "you are pregnant"

also plllllllleeeeeeeease say that is happening omg I would die of happiness.

gorgeousariel · April 2018

Hi! I'm due with #2 on January 3rd. DD was born 17 days early and my OB told me he didn't think I would make it to 40w, so I'm thinking the end of December is more likely for me. DD will be 2 in May and I was very active on May16 board. I just turned 30 last week and DH is 32. I had my Mirena removed last month and this was our first cycle trying. Thank goodness for BBT otherwise I would have had no idea what was going on. We live about an hour south of Tampa with our dog and cat. We love the beach and just being outdoors in general. I work for Hallmark and am also a maternity/ newborn photographer. DH is a programmer for fire alarms. We are so excited to add baby #2.

Well traditional home tests (sorry dandelions) say yeah, but gotta wait for betas to confirm!

BitterBetty12 · April 2018

@rooonilwaazlib I was on crinone with DD and also *TW* my loss before her *end TW*. Omg the gross clunky discharge!!! It’s awful. But that was the only side effect I had thankfully.

chopchop25 · April 2018

*lurking*

Ahhhh congrats @galactickates!!!

beachmama14 · April 2018

Hi! 3rd time mom here. Im 26 and my hubby is 29. I have a 3.5 year old daughter and 19 month son. We are a military fam in Alabama for now. My first pregnancy was smooth sailing and my second was pretty rough. I’m a little apprehensive going into things this time, but I know I will get through it with support! My son has some undiagnosed issues as well, so I will be talking with a genetic counselor this time around to see if we can do some additional testing. I got a BFP on 4/26 and I think my due date will be around 1/9 but I’m not confident on that yet. Looking forward to getting to know you all

Whitmore1027 · April 2018

Good evening! I am also one of the cautiously posting ladies

*TW*
I had a CP in February, and therefore I was nervous to start participating in case it happens again.
*End TW*

My husband and I are both 30, (he will be 31 on the 12th of May). We have a DS who is 20 months old. I was a member of the August 2016 BMB. It took us 14 months to get pregnant with him, so we were worried it would be another long haul TFAS. We have been TTC since January this year. Sooo praying this little bean sticks! I got my first faint BFP on April 26th, and today I took at FRER to see if the line got any darker and it did! So I am super excited! I have my first appointment on Tuesday, so that will help calm me as well. Sono is scheduled for May 15th. My EDD is January 7th!

Can't wait to get to know you ladies and I pray we all have a healthy and happy 9 months!

estellesmith · April 2018

Hi. I'm 31 with two awesome boys! We have been ttc our third since August of 2018. We had a 12 week miscarriage right after Christmas and an early 6ish week miscarriage late February. We had decided to put it on hold for a while or indefinitely. But here I am with two solid lines, surprised and scared. I'm praying this one is sticky and calling my doctor as soon as they open to see if I can get some early tests done.

rosebud332 · April 2018
