O.my.word!! I can't believe I'm here! Not sure when I'm due because I have a 11 month old son and only had a few periods since he was born. I'm thinking possibly September 13th but I'll know more when I got for my first appt in a month. This is actually going to be our 5th! We adopted our first two and have 2 biological. We were totally DONE - we thought. I'm still in complete shock! I'm currently a SAHM and love it. We live in WA state with a little farm: cows, chickens, dog, and cat. I've been pretty involved on TB with my two previous pregnancies and have loved being a part of the community. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
@mshrades Congratulations! I am sorry very sorry to hear about your experience in August... I can't imagine. You women who share your stories are quite courageous you know! I also have gut feelings but, since I am so early along I can't tell if I have a gut feeling that this will be good and I am just worried about the bad, or that I have a gut feeling it will be bad and keep trying to picture good. I know sitting and worrying isn't good and doesn't change anything either way, but I don't know how to JUST think positive! Any advice would be great!
Congrats on your BFP! The only thing that kept me sane through it the first time around was reminding myself that, no matter what, I’m a mom from the second I saw those two lines. And no matter how the pregnancy turned out, it wasn’t going to change that. So I had to remind myself to be positive because that’s what my baby deserved. I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t successful at being ONLY positive the first time around and I probably won’t be fully successful this time either. But it’s trying that really counts I think. No matter what happens it’s such a comforting feeling knowing that we are already mommas to these little souls.
Hi Ladies! I’m a FTM with my EDD 9/3. I’m an east coast gal who lives right outside NYC. My husband and I are both 32. I’m a Professor and PT, and he works in finance. My fur baby Jax is a year and half yellow lab. *TW* We have been trying for a year and a half, sadly experienced a MC in April. *End TW*. After hitting the year mark we began fertility, first IUI did not work, but the day after Christmas we got our Christmas miracle and found out the second IUI worked!! Super excited to get to know all of you ladies as we move forward on this pregnancy journey together!
Hello everyone! Just got my BFP this morning at 6 days before my missed period. I took the test thinking there was no way it would show anything this early, but got a big surprise.
My EDD is September 23rd. I've got an amazing 3.5 year old daughter. Married to my husband for 8 years, and one kitty who is so shy we almost never see her.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone! I was active on here when I was pregnant with my first and excited to be back!
Hi everyone! Cautiously introducing myself here. I got a BFP this morning at 10DPO.
I am a FTM with an EDD of September 22/23. DH and I are both 31. We’ve been together for 7 years and married for just shy of 4 years. I actually have my annual scheduled for 1/29 so I will just keep that appointment. I live in New York, outside of NYC, but I commute in to my job in the city every day. I am a design director for a large non-profit. We just bought our house in November. Kind of full house already with 3 cats and us
Hi All! It's so nice to "meet" you! My husband and I have two kids aged 3 and 5. I got my first bfp last week at 9dpo with an EDD of Sept 16th. Look forward to chatting with you all more!
Hi Ladies! I’m a TTM, 2 girls born Feb ‘16 and Sept ‘17. I’m a SAHM and I have been since my first was born. I’m originally from Northern Virginia, I moved to Frisco, TX (just north of Plano) this past summer. I’m 29 and been married since Oct ‘14 and we also have a 4 yr old Pomsky (half Pomeranian, half husky) too.
I just got a positive the other day. Based on my LMP, my EDD would be 9/15 and based on when I got a positive 9/18 so somewhere in there. I have an confirmation ultrasound next Friday so I’ll see what my due date ends up being.
@zuuls_mom OMG! What incredible news. I saw this the other day but haven't had a chance to comment. FX for you that this resilient little bean is super sticky! @cmdesigner Congratulations! The newbies don't get to post in the TTGP grad thread but wanted to wish you well and a H&H9!

Hey all! I'm a STM due 9/22, just got the positive test a couple days ago. My husband is 34 and a kindergarten teacher, and I'm 36 and a SAHM to a 17-month-old girl (and an elderly dog and two elderly cats!). We've been married 5 years and live overseas. I'm excited to get to know everyone!
Hi everyone! I'm a 35 year old STM with an EDD of 9/7. I'm a SAHM to our 16 month old, and have been taking online classes that I mostly do during his naps (so it's slow going!). My husband and I have been together 10 years and married 5. I'm excited to be here!
Whoop! I go here now!! I’m so excited to be a STM with an EDD of September 17. I’ve been married to my SO for 6 years. We have a 4 yo son and a pug. We live in Canada and are currently making the most of our long, long winter with as many outdoor activities as possible. Both of our parents spend the winter somewhere warmer, but we will luckily be visiting my parents in Florida, and my in-laws in California in March, just in time for my bump to announce our newest arrival...if I can manage to keep it a secret until then. So excited to get to know all of you!
Hi everyone! my EDD is 9/11. i have a 2.5 year old boy. I’m a stay at home mom. have been married for a little over 2.5 years, our son was almost 3 months old when we got married. born and raised here in southern Maine. We also have 2 dogs and 1 cat.
Hello new friends! I’m a STM with an EDD of 9/18ish. I’m 33 and DH is 37. We’ve been married 5+ years and have a rambunctious 1.75yo little dude who is an absolute hoot. (Current obsession is “Little Blue Truck” - regular and Christmas edition). I lurked a crap ton in his BMB (May 17), but never really posted since I was a FTM with an uncomplicated pregnancy.
I had the absolute pleasure and privilege of being a part of TTGP this go-round and I miss those ladies like the sun misses the moon. 😢 If you guys are half as awesome as they are then we’re in for a fantastic ride!
Hello!! EDD is 9/19! We lost our daughter last year in June at 21 weeks, so we are hopeful this is our babe to take home! So excited to be a part of this group! My husband and I (married 4 years) have an Australian Shepherd and live in Salt Lake City, UT!
Hi everyone! Very cautiously introducing myself here. FTM with a EDD of 9/23. I will get my first beta done on Monday, but the line has been progressively getting darker so I'm feeling hopeful. *TW* I've had one loss, but I'm trying to be optimistic and not let the worry consume me.*
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!
@amandajcallaway My husband and I have a heeler mix and also live in SLC! Excited to see another Utahn. Also, I am so sorry for your loss.
@kgg2241@lillywonderland yayayayayayayyyyyyy! p.s. i also miss our ttgp ladies & have been lurking & rooting for everyone. so glad i started the ttgp grad thread for this weeek esp now that there's more of us here
...also happy for the rest of yall whose names/avatars are new to me! i'm just generally happy about all of this right now. so many ppl here who are stm talk about how they got to know the ppl on their bmb & i can't wait to gtk more of ya.
Hi. I'm cautiously introducing myself here as I've had 3 losses so far, (also a loss 21 weeks @amandajcallaway .. my heart hurts for you). I'm a first time mom, getting betas done on Monday as well (FX for us @kgg2241). EDD is 9/24. I'm 30 and work in advertising and DH is 31 and crews a race car team. We have two very poorly behaved but obnoxiously cute pit bulls.
I was also previously part of the TTGP group and have been gone approximately 7 minutes and my heart aches missing them.
So excited to see this news @kgg2241! I have everything crossed that this is your take home rainbow baby

Hello all. I’m a STM due 9/20. MH and I have been been married 8.5 years and we have a son who will be 5 on Sunday. I’m so excited to be here, it look us 20 months to conceive our son so I’m so relieved it only took 6 this time. We waited a while between kids for financial reasons and for me to finish school Andy be at my job for a while first. I’m an Ultrasound tech at a small hospital in Indiana. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats and we’re excited to add to our zoo.
Hi ladies! I'm excited and hesitant to be here. I'm 4 weeks+1 today and due 9/18 (I think... this last cycle was crazy!)
***TW/multiple losses*** I had a CP April 2016 before our son, then had three MMCs after our son on Dec 2017, March 2018, and July 2018. I just had a surgery in October to remove a uterine polyp and some scar tissue, so hopefully that helps this be our Triple Rainbow ***end TW***
I work as an Assessment Development Specialist for K-12 and certification tests and currently live in MN, though we've moved all over the country. Former military wife. I'm excited to be here! I was active In Feb17 board and still have a close group of friends from there in a FB group.
I recognize @Lafreeman21@LivingLaVidaGinger and @lfrank12 from there! My username was TeacherMom with some numbers back then, but since I'm no longer a teacher, it felt misleading. Happy Bumpin' ladies!
I can’t believe I’m typing hello on this thread and I am still very cautiously optimistic.
*TW*
I had a m/c at 5 weeks on 12/20. Midwife said current evidence shows no reason to wait so here we are. Clear but faint positive yesterday at 8 DPO and even darker this morning at 9. I am concerned that my FF charting was off and I may have o’ed earlier because a positive HPT at 8 DPO is odd, but I’ll take it!
EDD: Sep 26
Other kids: DS, almost 10. Born at 35 weeks so very hopefully for a full term baby.
DH and I decided our family wasn’t quite yet complete and here we are, at 37 (me) and 38 years old.
Hi I'm Lexie I just got my BFP today! This will be our second with an EDD of 9/23. We have been married 12 years as of the 20th and have a beautiful 2 year old daughter who is the light of our lives.
We are in Connecticut and live away from our families which has been a struggle but we make it work! Glad to meet everyone and hope we all have very boring and happy pregnancies

Hi everyone, I’m also cautiously creeping on over from the TTGP board. *TW* We had a late loss of our daughter at 18 weeks at the end of October 2018 so I am very prayerful that this one stays with us till the end. *End TW*
DH & I have a hilarious 3 yr old girl who is the center of our world. She needs a sibling close in age so she doesn’t grow up thinking the entire universe revolves around her.😍 I also have a young “grown-up” daughter who is making her way in the world & learning to “adult”, which brings a whole other level of mom angst.
I look forward to supporting everyone here, especially bonding with any AMA moms who need some cheerleading. Wishing all of us a healthy, happy, & successful 9 months!😊
