Hi all. Have been hesitant to post due to MMC at around 13 weeks back in November, but also driving myself crazy without anyone to talk to in real life about this new pregnancy too! I’m Michelle, 36, live in Brooklyn and have 2 boys (4.5yo and 2yo). Due 1/5/20 based on LMP. Just saying hi for now, happy and healthy 9 months to us all!
Hi I’m Alex, I’m 30 and this will be our first. EDD is 1/8. We have a dog we are obsessed with and two cats. My first appointment isn’t until May 31st so pretty anxious over here!
Hi, cautiously joining in. I was in S19 but had a MMC at 8wks. Im 33 and have a 5yr old son, I’m hoping will finally get to be a big brother. Also have a dog who is my best friend. I’m a big Star Wars fan hence the screen name lol
Been trying for #2 for over 3 years. This was a combo Femara/gonal F IUI cycle. Got my BFP this morning at 14dpo. I had my first beta yesterday but haven’t gotten the results back yet. Fx it’s a good first number. Repeat on Monday! Really hoping this little one sticks! EDD is 1/18!
Hey everyone! I got my first BFP 4 days ago and looks like the tests are definitely getting darker! I go in for hcg levels at my fertility practice tomorrow, so hoping for a good #. My husband and I have been trying for about 13mos or so, and this was our second round of medicated IUI prior to going to IVF. I never thought I’d see two lines on one of those damn tests! So still processing.
I had a miscarriage 6 mos ago very early on so I’m very nervous. I’ve been cramping quite a bit, but no blood and a few dark tests so hoping so so much that this sticks.
I have two wonderful step sons (9 and 11), but have been yearning for my own nugget for a while.
Hi All! My name is Kayla. I just turned 32 last week and I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. My husband and I have been trying for over 2 years and we’re just about to start the IVF process when we found out we were pregnant with our miracle baby. My EDD is January 2nd and we have our first ultrasound coming up on Thursday! This is our first pregnancy and we also have a sweet little pup named Scout. We are beyond thrilled to start our family 😊
My name is Stephanie, I’m 30 years old and live in Northern Virginia with my husband and our two cats. This is our first pregnancy so we’re incredibly excited, but we’re also feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to wrap our heads around what the next few months have in store for us. Our EDD is January 10, 2020. We’re just hoping for a happy and healthy pregnancy all around.
Hi! I'm Liz, I live in Virginia, I have 3 little boys (7, 5, and 2.5). My EDD is January 18th, two days after my birthday! I'm cautiously optimistic about this pregnancy. I had a loss around 11 weeks a few years back so I'm always nervous during these first weeks.
Hi! I'm Ruth living in the Philadelphia suburbs. 36 and this is our first. Conceived unexpectedly because we started going through fertility testing but didn't start treatment yet due to work travel. Cautiously optimistic as well.
Hi! I just got a positive test yesterday and again this morning so I’m hoping this is where I get to hang out for the next 9 months! My name is Jessica, I’m 30 and a SAHM. DS is 19 months. EDD is 1/23 but *TW I had an early MC/CP in April and I am using the bleeding as my LMP so it may be off END TW* Hobbies: I run, craft (knitting/sewing/crochet/etc), do photography, and blog on the side as well.
Hi! I’m tentatively joining in. My name is Kate, I’m 33 and in Virginia. Tw* I’ve had 6 losses and this is my 8th pregnancy. End tw* Im a sham to one ds who is almost 4 and we’ve been trying for a second since 2017. EDD is 1/22. We are desperately hoping this is our rainbow.
@marebear15 I’m thinking he got here right in time hahaha I am so excited and I think we will get to spend this 9 months together. I feel good about this!
@marebear15 yes I remember you too! I was in TTGP for the last few months too but mainly just in TTCAL thread. I was excited when I saw you get your bfp. Hoping it’s rainbows for both of us ❤️
@marebear15 I haven’t gone to the doctor yet so I’m not sure yet. I’m hoping they will do betas at least. But military healthcare is kinda questionable at best so I’m going to have to push for what I want presumably.
Hi! I’m Nicole from Philadelphia. I’m due 1/4. My first appointment is on the 24th. I have been married for 8 years and have a 5&1/2 year old son (he won’t say he is 5 anymore, he’s 5&1/2!)
I’m anxiously awaiting my first appointment. It’s so hard to keep the news from friends and the little boy who is asking for a baby brother or sister daily ☺️
Hi! I’m Michelle my EED is Jan 4. This is my first pregnancy and I have no idea what I’m doing. I have been with DH for 3 years married 6 months. I live in Northern VA.
Hello and congratulations to you all! ❤ I got my first positive on Saturday but it was pretty faint and only slightly darker this morning. I'm cautiously joining because AF isn't even due until Wednesday so it's still early and I'm just nervous that it isn't real, but I can't keep it to myself! Currently waiting for doctor's office to open to schedule first appointment. I'm 35, DH is 39. We just celebrated 2yrs of marriage last month, have 2 cats and this will be our first baby! We're soo excited! 😁 according to LMP, EDD is 01/20/20.
Hello everyone! I'm currently a mom to 2 boys and due date is Jan 15th for baby #3. Married for 7 years and no pets because I already have kids trashing my house daily
Hello! I am Bobbie and I am 34 years old and due January 16th. My husband is Jake and we have been together for 12 years, married for 9. I have two boys - Gabe is 7.5 and Zach is 5.5. My husband is a 3 year cancer survivor. We had planned on trying for a third much sooner than this, but my husband's cancer made us rearrange our lives and our plans. We are in a much better place now and really excited to do this all over again!
@MrsJessS I don’t think Tricare ever took a beta for me. They legit just had me pee in a cup and they did a test strip and then referred me to the OB *shrug*
@mokay19 I’m not even surprised. I’m hoping I can talk the OB nurse into it but we will see. *TW I had to call acute care last time to get betas when I had a MC so 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Hi Ladies! I'm Kelli, my EDD is 1/1 (New Years Baby!). My husband and I have been married since 2011, I am 30, and we have a 3 year old son and two pups. This is my fourth pregnancy (2 prior miscarriages) so we are cautiously optimistic about this little guy/gal. All looks good with my blood work so far so we are passed the first major hurdle. I am looking forward to staying connected with you all over the next "few" 🤪 months.
Hi everyone! I'm excited to be joining another BMB. My son was born O'17 and I still talk to the ladies from that BMB daily.
I've been with MH 9 years and married for 5. Other then our son we have 2 crazy cats. We live in the midwest and I am thrilled that the weather is finally starting to look nice. Being cooped up inside all winter has been rough!
Hi everyone good to be back unexpected but happy ha Happily married 8 years to my best Friend. He’s the best!! So this will be baby number 3 for us. I have two boys one just turned 5 and A 19 month old...hoping this surprise number 3 is a girl but of course I’ll be happy as long as baby is healthy... sonogram isn’t until End of May but it’s looking like my due date would be January 15th....I’m currently a stay at home mom but itching to start my own company to get creative juices going again. Looking forward to getting to know you all and go through this journey one last final time ❤️
Hi everyone! I'm a STM. DH and I have a DD who's 20 months (Aug18). We had a lengthy process to conceive the first time and needed fertility treatments (2 IUI). So we were quite surprised to find I was pregnant so soon! Not sure on due date, as my period hadn't regulated yet.
@mokay19 I actually was terrified to be on the BMB with PAIF and was on the PAIF board. ☺️ She was mid-August. I remember you from TTGP, but with mainly being in the IF thread, most people likely don't remember me
@persnickity I recognized your name but kept thinking it was from TTGP so that makes sense! I’m glad your conception journey was so much faster this time!
Hi everyone! I have an EDD if January 8th. This is my third pregnancy. I have two other children DD is 4 and DS is 1.5. We’re excited for this next addition to our crew. 😊
Hi Everyone, STM here, DS is 4 almost 5 and I’m a nervous wreck! It took almost a year to conceive this time around and I was caught by surprise! My EDD is Jan 7th. Right now to keep myself from worrying I workout with my SO and play with our kids and love on my dog who I think already knows because he never leaves my side. I hope to get to know all of you in time!

@hanshotfirst77 Congratulations on your rainbow baby! I don't know if you remember, but I also was in Sep '19 for a short time.
@MrsJessS WHOOOT! Guess your husband wasn't late coming home after all. I hope we get to stay in the same BMB this time!
