Welcome to the September 2019 BMB! Introduce yourself, your EDD, SO, kids, pets, or anything you want us to know!

chichiphin · January 2019

@BumpAdmin can we get a sticky please??

chichiphin · January 2019

Hi everyone! FTM with an EDD of Sept 5. I'm an east coaster who works in Privacy (so that's all I'll say) and I am married and have 2 chihuahua mix rescues. MH and I were being seen by an RE for male factor issues & short LP, and had planned an IUI but it got cancelled. I ended up getting KU with just the meds and no IUI! Excited to meet everyone!

SmrBrd2012 · January 2019

Finally! I'll be a STM- I have a 3.5 year old. Married for 6 years. EDD of 9/2. I'm from New England. I was considering taking a year off but I'm apparently about to get a promotion which would make that decision really difficult. Really bummed because I regret not being able to stay home for longer with my first born (only had 10 weeks off). Oh well, still super excited for our new little one!

rms924 · January 2019

Hello! I’m cautiously joining/intro’ing. I am 36, mom to 2 boys, 3 years old and 13 months. My husband and I also have a dog and a cat, so it’s a full house

my husband and I actually thought we were done having kids (**TW** got a diagnosis of DOR / experienced losses **TW**) but I got a surprise bfp 12/29. Embarrassed to say I don’t know what my EDD is as I haven’t been tracking...! anyway, I’ve always really enjoyed the community here even though I wasn’t always an active poster and I am excited to back and I am wishing us all h+h 9 mo!!

cammie0526 · January 2019

Hi! My husband and I were married this past April and we live in the mid-Atlantic region. Got my BFP (our first!) on New Year’s Eve! EDD is 9/9/19

cee_marie · January 2019

Hi everyone! FTM with an EDD of September 6th. My husband and I, both 26 years old, got married just about two months ago, so this happened very quickly for us! We live in PA and have one cat and an 8 month old puppy! I am very anxious about the pregnancy sticking but only out of my own nervousness! First appointment is January 14th!
Thanks for listening ladies!

bostonlady-2 · January 2019

Hi all!

I'm a STM. My husband and I married 6 years ago and I have an 18 month old. EDD is 9/6. I'm a fellow New Englander with @chichipinand @SmrBrd2012. We're super excited and hope this little bean sticks.

I posted intermittent in TCC and my last bump month, but was on a mobile and it was extremely hard to tag and keep up. Now that I've (finally) replaced my laptop, I'm hoping I can be more involved.

Congrats everyone!

**edited for some weird formatting thing that I still can't figure out....

maserrano714 · January 2019

Hi everyone.
FTM with EDD Sept 9th. Married for 3 years. I have a 13 year old dog. From Los Angeles. **TW** Had a MC in Aug @ 8wks so I'm nervous but excited. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 9 months.

kagesstarshroom · January 2019

Hi all! I will be a FTM & my EDD is 9/13! DH & I live in Louisiana. I'm an academic in the humanities & DH is a jack of all trades, currently doing construction & building furniture. We're not *from* there, but we're enjoying the south now that we are there. We'll likely move when I get my dream job, and hopefully closer to home (the Northeast).

We have two doggos, one lab-border collie mix who's 9 months old, and her older bro is a pit-lab mix, and he's about five-- both rescues.

I was active on TTGP for the past couple months & enjoyed the community & its extremely awesome ladies & efficient organization there, so looking forward to getting to know yall.

TW: loss

I had a CP back in October, but my HPT lines are strongest this time earlier, so I am hoping this is it, so as someone else has put it, I am "cautiously" posting, but at the same time that I am trying not to be over "excited," I am also optimistic.

Lastly, I am long-winded. I try to edit myself down before I post, but--just apologizing in advance if I type a lot of words sometimes.

kibylou · January 2019

Hey! I am so excited this board is up! I've been waiting for this page for over a week! I think I am due around 9/7. I am having our 4th (eek!) and we are both super excited! DH and I have been married 8 years and we live in Washington state. Former Kindergarten teacher and currently a SAHM and can't wait to snuggle a newborn again! Excited to meet you all!

dahliasanddogs · January 2019

Hi! I'm so happy this board exists. I am hoping to be a FTM with an EDD of Sept. 2nd according to my period tracker. I'm 37, live in WA, and work as a nurse. I had no idea what a crazy lady was lurking inside me all these years until I started TTC almost a year ago. I had CP back in April and finally another BFP last week. Really hoping this one sticks!
I've been with my partner for over 8 yrs and engaged for 3 yrs. We have 2 rescue dogs that we're obsessed with, one that is getting close to walking over the rainbow

.
Looking forward to this experience and everyone's support. I'm already impressed with the structure, I'll try to follow the rules.

kibylou · January 2019

Yay for WA, @dahliasanddogs!

rms924 · January 2019

@dahliasanddogs lol “I never knew what a crazy lady lurked inside of me until ttc” 😂. I think a lot of us can relate! More brain power and concentration has gone into interpretating shades of pink here than on anything else. Bring on the padded room 🤪!

Wishing you (and everyone else) very, very sticky vibes!!

myfingerhurts · January 2019

Hi! So excited to be part of this group. I’m a STM with a 3 yo son also born in Sept, so looking forward to a little Sept. family. Est due date of 9/7.

We just moved to the Midwest from the South a few months ago and are loving it. I work in advertising and my husband is a furniture designer. In addition to our son, we have a rescue pup and a rescue cat. Lots of new adventures happening at once, but couldn’t be more thrilled!

*TW* We experienced a missed miscarriage April 2018 at 9 weeks, found out when we went in for our first ultrasound and there was no heartbeat. It was devastating and it took a long time before I was ready to try again. Hoping this one is sticky

hellonurse0802 · January 2019

STM with EDD of 9-5-19. I have a 7 year old and I am a nurse. This one is a bit of a surprise after Plan B didnt do its job, but we are welcoming our blessing either way. Hoping and praying for a healthy pregnancy and a safe labor and delivery of all of our September Sweethearts.

chichiphin · January 2019

@bostonlady-2 lol not a new englander! from a diff east coast area, so count me OUT as a pat's fan! lol

alliC · January 2019

Hi! My EDD is 9/4, but I have a dating scan scheduled for 9/14. I just had my HCG levels drawn today.

My DH and I have been married for 8 years and have two amazing boys who will be 5 and 2 in a month. We also have an adorable rescue pup - chihuahua mix. I am a Women's Health Program manager in Michigan. We are very excited for this new addition! I'm praying it will stick!

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 9 months!

pennylane91 · January 2019

So excited to join in here! I'll be a FTM with EDD 9/14. Just found out 2 days ago (happy new year!) and my brain is already working in overdrive. So very excited and now thinking about all the things coming my way. It's going to be a crazy year, that's for sure.

Will also have to find out how to tell work sooner rather than later as my job involved a bit of international travel in Sub-Saharan Africa and I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with the risk.

My DH and I have a dog and a cat and I love gardening and hiking. Can't wait for the journey and the support.

Congratulations ladies!

blitzybee · January 2019

Hi! I just got my BFP last night at 9 DPO, and we are cautiously optimistic. I have a 3 year old, and since then, have had 2 miscarriages, with a CP in middle of them. I took some time off TTC after all of that, but now I’m back to trying to have another child. This time around, I started Progesterone after ovulation, and am crossing my fingers that it does the trick. My husband and I will be 35 this year. EDD is September 17th. Congrats to all!

kagesstarshroom · January 2019

@blitzybee yay! happy to see you here. hope yr bean is sticky. I'll also be 35 this year.

kdl89 · January 2019

Hello, I am STM, with a EDD of September 11. My husband and I have been married for 4 and half years and we have a 14 month old daughter. We also have a 4 year old dog and we live in Canada on the east coast. I was on the Nov 2017 page with my daughter and found it so helpful. I look forward to getting to know you ladies over the next 9 months.

goldenmomm · January 2019

Hello all! Third time mom here with an EDD of Sept 11th. Finding out I was pregnant was a complete shock. I have a 10yr old, a 10mo old, and a sweet golden who is 4. I just stopped BF and my cycles must have shortened since stopping, I track every month and really thought we were in the clear. 🙈 I had a really rough pregnancy last time. Hoping this one is better. My first appt is one week from today.

karinafaith90 · January 2019

Hi! I’m a STM and I think my EDD is September 3, 2019. My first OB appointment will be on the 25th so hopefully I’ll have a more definite date. It’s funny because this is around the same time I found out I was pregnant with my first four years ago. I’m so glad that y’all are here and that this board is finally up!

bumblenaut · January 2019

Hello everyone!
So excited to finally be posting here again. I will be a STM. We have a 4.5 year old daughter. I'll be spending a few months in the north east starting this coming week, but we currently live overseas. EDD is currently September 12th!

**TW loss**
We found out I was pregnant around the same time last year, so I was a part of the Sept. 2018 board, but that unfortunately ended at week 11. We hope so badly that things work out this time, but we will remain cautious.
**End TW**

I'm looking forward to meeting you all!!

ambodt22 · January 2019

Hi all! I'm a STM and my EDD is Sept. 3rd. My first US is 1/17 and I can't wait! I'm 26 and DH is 28, we have been married for 3 years and together for 9. We live in MD with our beautiful dd, who will be one on Jan. 13! We also have a big german shepherd mix and 2 siamese cats. I participated in the bmb for a while with my first but admittedly fell off in recent months. I'm planning to be better this time around and stay involved here!

Congrats to all and excited to get to know you!

aussie&yank · January 2019

Hi! I’m excited to be here.
I’m a STM, my daughter is 2y5m. My husband and I have been trying for over a year and I was recently diagnosed with low ovarian reserve. We decided to do IUI with injectibles & letrozole, and it seems like it worked the first try!
My EDD is 9/9. My first beta was at 4w at 115, and second one today 4w3d at 333. RE is happy but I’m paranoid from prior CPs so going back for one more beta on Sunday for my comfort. My first U/S is with RE at 6.5w on 1/18, and then if all good I’ll move over to normal OB for 8w U/S appointment on 11/29.

It’s still so early to tell people but the thing about IUI is close family and friend already know the timing - so you either tell them or lie when they ask, which I don’t want to do.

Excited! Nervous!

dahliasanddogs · January 2019

@blessedmama1119 WOW, Plan B failure! Sounds like you're a healthy lady

. It also sounds like a good start to a happy/funny story.

VeeMore · January 2019

Hello everyone! STM with EDD of September 3rd. Our first will be 2 in March. Have been married for just over 3 years. We’re in the Los Angeles area. Excited to be here!

supermom34482 · January 2019

Hi everyone! TTM here. Have a 5 yo and 2 yo but *TW* had a loss in between them *END*
I have been a nervous nelly and will be until my first appt which isn't for 4 weeks.
Hoping for a boring easy 9 months for all of us!

RedBreast35 · January 2019

Hi ladies

STM hopeful, EDD is 9/11, but will probably change a little if my doctor goes with LMP instead of O. DS turns 15 months on Sunday, and I'm super excited and nervous to be here! I'm also pgal so will probably be a Nervous Nelly until... oh, forever. I'm 38 and will be 39 when this LO gets here if all goes well. Yikes!

My old BMB kinda fell apart, so hopefully this one stays active until the end! Really looking forward to getting to know everyone

Lafreeman21 · January 2019

Hi all! STM due on 9/6. Little Sir will be 2 in a month. Hubs and I are both engineers, and we have a 60 lb pure bred mutt who's 8. We started dating at 17/18, and we're 31/32 now.
😱 14 years 😱

TW**

I had a MMC at 13 weeks before little sir, and I was nervous for months while I carried him. I'm super optimistic about this one, though. She's gonna be just fine. Plus she's a she

** End TW

I'm looking forward to going through the shenanigans of pregnancy together. You have all already motivated me into finally scheduling the OB. Peer pressure go! Now make me drop coffee 100% 😉

HereComesTheSun10 · January 2019

I will be a STM. Have a 2 year old. Have had two miscarriages in the past. So excited and nervous. Struggled with secondary infertility. This baby was our second round of IVF.

Due 9/6.

Grew up on New England. Now in upstate NY.

ataber · January 2019

I will be a STM, my son is currently 4 years old. I experienced a misscarriage last month, so I am cautiously optimistic. My husband and I are high school sweethearts, 32 years old, with dogs galore. Live in Western washington and I am a stroke and cardiac nurse. Congrats to everyone and I look forward to sharing this journey with you all

RedBreast35 · January 2019

Sorry @Lafreeman21 no peer pressure from me to drop coffee. Caffeine is lyfe (within the limits, of course 😜)

mrsp2613 · January 2019

Hi everyone! Delighted to be back on The Bump and apart of this BMB! I'm a STM and was active on the June 2016 BMB but my daughter arrived a week early and we actually got a May baby. I'm 32 and hubby and I are born and raised Ohio natives and will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in June. In addition to DD we've got three big dogs and an outdoor cat. I'm in human resources and we both work full time.

We've been trying since August and I got a faint BFP on a cheapie Wondfo on 12/21. Turned a ClearBlue digital positive the next morning at 10 dpo and saying my prayers that is all well with this little one, first appointment isn't until 2/4 so this is always the worst wait. EDD is 9/4 based on LMP and I was tracking so I think that should be a pretty accurate date based on ovulation.

Looking forward to the journey ladies!

omg1108 · January 2019

Hello everyone! I hope to be FTM this year. No EDD yet-- somewhere 9/14-9/17 . I am beyond thrilled to have the BFP after a missed miscarriage (9 weeks) at the end of September. I turned 41 in November & have so much anxiety about this pregnancy. My SO & I also have two dogs. I am a teacher so I already am thinking about being able to spend my 3rd trimester big & beautiful by a pool. Lol. I am excited to get to know you all & share this journey with you.

aushkoshbgosh · January 2019

Hi everyone! STM, EDD Sept 8th based on LMP. I'm a long-time lurker, spent a lot of time reading these boards while pregnant with our son (he turned 2 in December), but hoping to participate a little more this time around. We live in central PA, have 2 dogs, and I'm an LPN in a doctor's office. Actually planning to go back to school for my BSN... probably starting during this pregnancy so hoping that's not going to end up being as crazy as it sounds. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

kibylou · January 2019

@Lafreeman21, how do you know "she's a she"?

From testing or intuition? (Just curious!)

flowerintherain · January 2019

**TW infant loss and mc**
Hey y'all! I'm happy to be back on the bump! I'm technically a 3rd time mom, but DH and I only have 1 living child. He's about to be 3 next month and is the light of our lives. We would have a 16 month old daughter too, but unfortunately we had a very trumatic experience with me passing a virus to her at birth that took her life at 9 days old. I was an active member of Feb 16 for my son and October 17 for my daughter. I'm in a Facebook group with my O17 ladies and we're all very close now. They've really helped me through my loss. DH and I been trying for another baby for awhile with no success until this cycle. I had an HSG test done that unblocked one of my tubes and we were fortunate enough to get a BFP right away. I think my edd is somewhere around 9/8 and I'm super excited ,but also have anxiety through the roof considering what we've been through. My daughter was 5 weeks early so i don't anticipate to make it to Sept this pregnancy. We also had an early loss at 9 weeks (baby stoped developing at 6 weeks) and that has me hesitant to get my hopes too high. But I'm trying to stay positve. Anyhow, I'm a hairstylist in my mid 20s and we just moved to northwest Arkansas a little over a year ago. I look forward to getting to know y'all better and watch our little beans grow.

floridababy3 · January 2019

Hi! I am pregnant with my 3rd with an EDD of September 7th. My SO and I have been married 16 years and have a 5 year old son and a 22 month old son. It took us a long time to conceive our first and then we gave up trying when we conceived our second. We were just deciding that we should be done when we got the surprise BFP, it seems to happen like that for us

we live in Florida and love to spend time outside and with our families and friends. My husband and I both have demanding but fulfilling careers and work hard to keep family first while enjoying our day jobs outside the home.
so excited to be here and wish everyone a h+h pregnancy!
