EDD is July 5th. We had been trying for 2 years (unexplained IF) but IVF did the trick. Our FET was on October 18, found out 9 days later with an at home test. Amazing to finally see those 2 lines!
I’m a producer at a science podcast, like crafting and just started taking voice lessons. We have a cat and a dog and live in NYC.
Long time lurker of TTGP- excited to finally be in a month club!
Hi, I'm Jasmine. Its nice to meet you all and share this journey with you.
EDD (Estimated Due Date): July 18 - How you found out: I was late and caved in and bought a test. This was a surprise and an accident a d my husband and I are both in a little bit of a shock still. This is baby number 4 for us but with a close to 5 year gap it will be between my last and this new one.
- Hobbies, Job, Etc. I'm a photographer or at least I'm trying to become one. I started my business last year after shooting as a hobbyist for many years. I'm still trying to figure out how to get myself out there and get hired by non family and friends. I use to nanny too but I ended up with too many of my own to realistically manage.
In my spare time (what's that?) I love photography, reading, crafting especially crocheting and blogging/writing.
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies My husband and I have been married for 13 years and we have 3 kids, 9, 6, and 4 currently. They will be 10, 7, and almost 5 when this one comes. We also have 3 cats and 2 dogs.
- Anything you’d like us to know 🙂 This was an accident and I admit a bit of a shock all around. I'm still processing this a little if I'm honest. I'm mostly worried about money as my husband is a teacher and I'm mostly a sahm now since I haven't figured out how to successfully get my business out there. I know it will be ok in the end but right now I'm really trying to scramble and figure out how I can find some way to contribute now and after baby arrives.
@jacquimaria there’s a couple of us in medical here! But seriously if you have questions let me know—DS was born April of my Chief year and now I’m an attending (there’s light at the end of the tunnel!!)
My estimated due date is around July 6th, but no ultrasound yet and the dates are a little hard to pinpoint! I actually just got married a month ago and though we decided to start trying right away I'm more than a little shocked! Haha it has to be a honeymoon baby It will be a first child for both of us. I was in Georgia for a wedding and thought I should probably buy a test while we were at the store buying stuff anyway. Three positive tests later, it's a positive! haha
I love travel and write textbooks for a living. We have George our little shih tzu who is currently our whole world. We are picking out a second puppy on Sunday (because clearly we weren't expecting a baby coming summer 2020 as well) and so it'll really be a chaotic and hopefully fun 34 weeks My husband Marc is shell shocked but also very happy! He's insistent it will be a boy and I'm equally hopeful for a girl haha.
I'm a little nervous about how everything is going to go and just trying to hold on until our first obgyn appointment next Friday!
- EDD (Estimated Due Date) I think it will be July 23, 2020 - How you found out: I took a test at what I think would be 9 DPO if I compare to my charts from trying with my son. We were tipsy and not safe ONE time, we are ALWAYS safe- so I knew it was humanly possible.... but we tried anything and everything to get my son for 7 months, so we both kind of didn't think anything would come from this... haha. - Hobbies, Job, Etc.: I work from home for a life insurance company. I don't really have hobbies, I just love spending time with my son and taking him to do new things, so we are always busy on the weekends...zoos, aquariums, disney world, story times, home depot crafts, events going on in the area, etc. always something! - Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies : Husband of 4.5 years, together 9.5 years. We have one son, just over 2.5 years old, and 2 dogs - Anything you’d like us to know 🙂So excited for everyone here!!
Hi! My edd is July 16. TTC for almost 2 years with my husband, so very anxious and excited about this! I’m 32, he’s 34. We’ve been married for 3 yrs but together for over 7. Just us and our geriatric cat - this will be our first! Live in Canada and I’m an environmental engineer. If all goes well at our first us in early December, I’m so ready to settle in and enjoy every minute of this pregnancy!
Hello! My EDD with #3 is July 16th. I've know since 2w3d when I had bloating and "tight" feeling for 3 days straight. BFP a week later. Currently on Prometrium as I had low progesterone, and did with my first 2 as well. I live in IL. I am 34, hubby is 31. I have 2 girls, 5 and almost 3. I run an inhome daycare currently, but plan to go back to teaching once the kids are all in school.
I'm so excited to be here. I'm very hesitant to post because I had a MMC in August, and I feel like I don't want to get my hopes up until I meet with my doctor on 12/4 (so far away)!
EDD - 7/15
I had a feeling I was pregnant because I just wasn't feeling myself. I started testing about 4 days before I was due for my period and watched the line get darker each day. Since then I've had nausea, back aches, fatigue, etc. None of them super extreme.
My DH (33) and and I (31) have been married for 7 years. We have a DD who will be 3 in February and I know she would be a great big sister.
I teach special education at an elementary school in New Jersey and I love it! It's nice to be home at a reasonable time at night and have summers off as well. I love going on fun adventures with my DD in the summer and I'm already looking forward to next summer. My favorite hobby is yoga (which I'm hoping to get back into soon, I've been so exhausted after work these days).
I'm having trouble with this site on my Samsung smartphone:( The app doesnt work at all. Anyway.... Hello from the hills of Arkansas I just got my bfp this morning. EDD July 27th. I was an active bumpie on my son's bmb, April 2013. He will turn 7 in March...aahh..I'm tearing up thinking about giving him a sibling. Finally. Ttc cycle 8, this is my 5th pregnancy. I have been married a year and it will be his first! Hes very excited. We are skilled trade workers. He is a welder and I am a stylist. We both have very physical jobs and I'm a little concerned about me surviving up until 😂. I actually just kinda gave up obsessing over ttc, stopped opk testing and we just adopted a pit mix 2 weeks ago from a shelter and he is my little baby for sure. And then of course it happens!!! We love the outdoors, cooking, anything creative and have family all over, from Michigan to the West coast. So excited! Congratulations to everyone.
I’m Casey and I’m almost 7 weeks along, due July 6th!!
I found out the day after my period was supposed to start with an at home test. I practice Natural Family Planning (NFP) Creighton Model, so it was very easy to track when to take a test.
Our house is filled with myself, my husband, Travis, and our Entlebucher Mountain Dog, Milo!
I work for Michigan State University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory as a Lab Technologist. But I’m a proud Central Michigan University alum, which is where I met Travis. Fire Up Chips! Looking forward to reading our threads and hearing from all of you!
EDD (Estimated Due Date)- July 2 - How you found out - We were trying so I raided my test stash a few days before I was supposed to start and there was a faint positive that got darker and here we are. - Hobbies, Job, Etc. -I’m a CPA and a college professor which is great as it offers a ton of flexibility and much better hours than a traditional office job. Yay for summers off! - Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies- my husband and I have been married for 4 yrs and have a daughter who is 2. I’m 34, husband is 32. - Anything you’d like us to know 🙂 I know how it feels to have all the preggo anxiety. I’ve already imagined about a hundred things that *could* go wrong. It’s part of preg for some of us so thanks in advance for all your support and reassurance.
also my sister and her husband have been TTC for a year and a half and seeing all your journies has helped me navigate this time in our relationship with sensitivity so thank you!
Okay, deep breath. Here goes nothing. I just took a digi this morning since it was the only thing in my cupboard. I’m a little nuts and kind of want to go buy FRERs so I can obsess about line progression... but I will probably save my money and just call my dr for betas instead. EDD is July 29th.
I have been married 3.5 years and we have a 16 month old DS. We have 2 dogs (one of whom we just found out has lymphoma, so we are just providing comfort care for her). I was in July 18 BMB and in TTGP before that and again since we have been trying since January.
*TW* I had a CP prior to DS and a MMC at 10 weeks in May of this year. PGAL brain is REAL right now. It’s hard to not let myself get too excited. But today, I am pregnant.
Me: 31 DH: 34 Married: April 2016 TTC December 2016 BFP 2/28/17 // CP 3/1/17 MFI Diagnosis: Aug 2017 BFP 11/1/17 // DS born 6/18 TTC January 2019 BFP 3/21/19 // D&C (MMC) 5/8/19
My EDD is July 19th 😊 I found out at 12 DPO - this is my 3rd pregnancy and I feel very attuned to changes that encouraged me to test early. *TW* I had a miscarriage this last May and an ectopic pregnancy this August that was treated with chemotherapy. I've had 2 beta HCGs already, I have my 3rd scheduled tomorrow, and 2 ultrasounds scheduled - 11/27 to rule out ectopic, and 12/9 for viability + prenatal scan. I am cautiously optimistic as this pregnancy feels different already (hello fatigue, insomnia, sore boobs and nausea!). I am also currently using progesterone suppositories to support this pregnancy as my previous levels were very low. So far so good, minus the constipation! 🤣
I love to run, workout, and practice yoga. I also love spending time with my DH and our 3 year old puppy, Rocky. We are both 31 and are celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary this week, together for 7 years. We live next to a lake and have been taking fill advantage of walks every day. I've been trying to keep myself busy by spending time with friends, family and different projects around the house. I just accepted a new job working on a fertility program - I am so excited to be able to do this in honor of my babies and help support women with stories like mine. ❤️
With each of my previous losses I had a lot of bleeding and was put on pelvic rest until the losses were confirmed. This time around, I don't have that limitation but I am struggling a bit mentally with the idea that I can run and do the things I love and it will be okay. I think this will get easier over time. Do any other previous loss moms struggle with this too?
It wonderful meeting you all! I look forward to supporting each other in the months to come ❤️
This wasn’t really planned but I’m not surprised either. There was one time this month where we weren’t careful and I knew it was right around O time. Decided to take a test today after feeling some symptoms - dry mouth, sciatica acting up, and weird dreams. Super faint line but I’m probably only 9-10 days past O. Haven’t told my husband yet.
I’m 32 (well, tomorrow I will be 32), H is 35, and we have a 3 year old son, 16 month old son, and dog. We live in NY, I am an attorney at a non-profit and H works on the corporate side of a restaurant chain.
I am terrified for a 3rd baby but also happy and excited to be here!
***TW*** Last month (October) we had one night where we didn’t use protection and I freaked out the next day realizing i was ovulating. I took plan B. Two weeks later, positive pregnancy test. The line faded over the next week and I started bleeding. We were surprised and freaked out and scared when we thought we were having # 3, but eventually we were happy. I think we were less careful than usual again this month because we were starting to get excited before my miscarriage and maybe we took on a “let’s just see what happens” attitude. But, I am waiting until my missed period to tell him this time. I just want to be sure before sending us both on an emotional roller coaster again.
@lakemama2020 ttgp is another board on the bump. Trying to get pregnant. The girls who are active on there usually bond and love it when they end up on the same BMB. I was active on there in 2016 and am still in contact with a bunch of the girls.

EDD (Estimated Due Date) July 16th 2020 - How you found out: I took a test to humor my boyfriend. I've had the paraguard for 3 years so I just knew there was no way I could be pregnant. - Hobbies, Job, Etc. I'm a pastry cook. My hobbies are gaming, reading, writing, and web design. - Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies I have a boyfriend, a 4 year old DD and 1 pup.
- EDD: 7/20/2020 - How you found out: 5 positive tests over the course of the last week 😅 - Hobbies, Job, Etc.: I ride, my horses are basically my hobby lol. Otherwise I’m a SAHM - Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: I’m married to a wonderful man, we have 3 kids ages 6, 4, and 2; 3 dogs (a lab, a heeler/border collie mix, and a German Shepherd, 3 barn cats, and 4 horses (technically 5 but one is in retirement at my mom’s house) 🤗 - Anything you’d like us to know: this is our fourth and I’m a bit nervous haha.
Hi all! My EDD is July 10 (guesstimate since my first appt isn’t until tomorrow). As long as all goes well this will be our first baby and a rainbow baby. I miscarried in July around 12 weeks but measuring 8-10 only. We’ve been TTC for over two years and are so excited! We did one cycle of Chlomid and then had to skip the next cycle- which is when we conceived. I took four tests four days in a row that were all negative. Since I was five days late and never am, I bought a different brand and saw a BFP immediately. The hubs is a finance manager and I’m in higher education, in a role similar to a department chair at a college. We’re in our mid to late 30s (37-me, 34-him). I’m super excited but also so nervous after this summer. Fingers crossed we see a heartbeat tomorrow (I’ll be 6w4d).
Hello, my name is Iulia and my EDD is July 19th, 2020.
We were going through cycle monitoring at a new fertility clinic when we got the good news. This is our 4th pregnancy in 2 years, unfortunately all the others have ended in first trimester miscarriages. Doctors can't find a reason why so we keep trying. Fingers crossed this is the one. Going for another HCG test today but we were at 4w+4=120 4w+6=300 So here's hoping!
I run a bakery about to open a second location (no stress at all 😉)
My husband and I have been married for 2.5 years and have a furbaby named Frank. He's a 3 year old lab/rottie mix and the biggest suck. Ever since he "sensed" a change in me, he's been following me around the house relentlessly.
We started trying for a first baby a few months ago, but charted for the first time this month. I took a test on the day I expected my period and it was instantly positive. I couldn't believe it was real so I keep taking tests 😅.
My husband and I have been married for two years. He's 30 and I'm 29. I work from home in financial services and we have a cat (Nutmeg).
So far I've been very tired, stuffy nose, minor cramping and the occasional tingly boob.
2016 - dx with super low ovarian reserve; failed cycle with clomid, failed IUI, 2017 - egg retrieval #1 - 3 eggs, 0 embryos appropriate for transfer; ER #2 2 eggs, 0 embryos on day 3; ER #3 1 egg 0 embryos moved to donor egg in summer 2017; 35 eggs retrieved; 19 fertilized; 9 total embryos Fresh transfer Dec 2017= BFP! baby boy born 8/22/18
May 2019 - surprise natural pregnancy ended in MC Nov 2019 FET; MC at 9 weeks May 2020 FET; BFN July 2020 FET; CP treated with methotrexate Oct 2020 BFP!
Hi!
EDD: 7/15/2020 (to be adjusted after ultrasound
- How you found out: My boobs hurt (which can be a pms symptom for me), but after a few days, took a pregnancy test. My last period was in August, so I’ve already had an ultrasound - but it didn’t show anything. A few betas later and it looks like i have a normal early pregnancy, even though my dates are a little messed up. I’m fairly anxious about the second ultrasound this week to see if anything has developed.
- Hobbies, Job, Etc.: I work at a large law firm. This would be number 2, and I was pregnant with my first at the same firm, so I’m trying my best to be fairly relaxed with this pregnancy.
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: DS is 2, DH is 37, I’m 38. Happy to see lots of ama mamas so far!
OMG @millpe !!!!!!!!!!!! I just squealed with excitement at my desk for you! I am so so so damn happy for you, friend!!! I wish you the best of luck with this one

Lost the baby at 6.5 weeks...it was weird, we weren't trying really yet so it was a happy surprise to be pregnant, but didn't have much time to get used to it before baby was gone already. This time around feels completely different, my boobs have been sooo sore since I ovulated and are definitely growing already. I haven't had any morning sickness (yet!) so I'm very happy about that. Glad to be part of the group! :O)
- EDD (Estimated Due Date) : July 26th, not confirmed. - How you found out : we've been ntnp for the past 2 months, started to feel a little bit off, took a dollar store test a few days before my expected period and negative. Still felt a bit off 4 days after expected period so I took another test and it was positive. - Hobbies, Job, Etc. - I'm a Communicative Disorders Assistant working for a school board. I don't really have any hobbies, but liiiive for summertime (which is unfortunate because I live in northern Ontario). - Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies - I've been married for a little over 2 years and have a 1 year old daughter. - Anything you’d like us to know 🙂 I'm still shocked to be here.. My husband is super excited, me a little less.. I love the bump as an outlet before announcing! It's nice to have a place to talk about it. *tw* we had an early loss before my daughter (actually exactly 2 years to the day that I took this pregnancy test), so I'll be a bit anxious until probably the end of the first trimester. *
**total durty lurker*** @laurad75 CONGRATS LADY!!!! i am so excited for you. (i'm sorry for your loss earlier this year). I hope this bean is super sticky and uneventful.

Baby #4 on the way!
As long as all goes well this will be our first baby and a rainbow baby. I miscarried in July around 12 weeks but measuring 8-10 only. We’ve been TTC for over two years and are so excited!
We did one cycle of Chlomid and then had to skip the next cycle- which is when we conceived. I took four tests four days in a row that were all negative. Since I was five days late and never am, I bought a different brand and saw a BFP immediately.
The hubs is a finance manager and I’m in higher education, in a role similar to a department chair at a college. We’re in our mid to late 30s (37-me, 34-him).
I’m super excited but also so nervous after this summer. Fingers crossed we see a heartbeat tomorrow (I’ll be 6w4d).
We were going through cycle monitoring at a new fertility clinic when we got the good news. This is our 4th pregnancy in 2 years, unfortunately all the others have ended in first trimester miscarriages. Doctors can't find a reason why so we keep trying. Fingers crossed this is the one. Going for another HCG test today but we were at 4w+4=120
4w+6=300
So here's hoping!
I run a bakery about to open a second location (no stress at all 😉)
My husband and I have been married for 2.5 years and have a furbaby named Frank. He's a 3 year old lab/rottie mix and the biggest suck. Ever since he "sensed" a change in me, he's been following me around the house relentlessly.
We started trying for a first baby a few months ago, but charted for the first time this month. I took a test on the day I expected my period and it was instantly positive. I couldn't believe it was real so I keep taking tests 😅.
My husband and I have been married for two years. He's 30 and I'm 29. I work from home in financial services and we have a cat (Nutmeg).
So far I've been very tired, stuffy nose, minor cramping and the occasional tingly boob.
@beckylookatherbump and @b_1029 Thank you!! Excited to be here with both of you!

- How you found out: Boobs started to really hurt right after ovulation, had implantation spotting, still waited to take a test until I was past when I was supposed to get my period and got a dye stealer positive test.
- Hobbies, Job: I work for a meal kit delivery company, Sun Basket. 100% organic produce, if anybody is thinking they might like to try it, let me know! Haha
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: Hubbie and I got married 5/25/2018 and my fur baby Louie (mini schnauzer) is going to turn 7 in January.
- Anything you’d like us to know: We've been TTC since we had our first miscarriage in February of this year. Lost the baby at 6.5 weeks...it was weird, we weren't trying really yet so it was a happy surprise to be pregnant, but didn't have much time to get used to it before baby was gone already. This time around feels completely different, my boobs have been sooo sore since I ovulated and are definitely growing already. I haven't had any morning sickness (yet!) so I'm very happy about that. Glad to be part of the group! :O)
- How you found out : we've been ntnp for the past 2 months, started to feel a little bit off, took a dollar store test a few days before my expected period and negative. Still felt a bit off 4 days after expected period so I took another test and it was positive.
- Hobbies, Job, Etc. - I'm a Communicative Disorders Assistant working for a school board. I don't really have any hobbies, but liiiive for summertime (which is unfortunate because I live in northern Ontario).
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies - I've been married for a little over 2 years and have a 1 year old daughter.
- Anything you’d like us to know 🙂
I'm still shocked to be here.. My husband is super excited, me a little less..
I love the bump as an outlet before announcing! It's nice to have a place to talk about it. *tw* we had an early loss before my daughter (actually exactly 2 years to the day that I took this pregnancy test), so I'll be a bit anxious until probably the end of the first trimester. *
@laurad75 CONGRATS LADY!!!! i am so excited for you. (i'm sorry for your loss earlier this year). I hope this bean is super sticky and uneventful.
