Introduce yourself: Hi I’m Krista and I’m 39 years old.
Due date: March 13!
How you found out: I found out about a week ago. I had been feeling extremely tired and had no signs of my period getting ready to start like normal so I bought a test.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) My hubby and I have been married for 13 years and we have 3 other kids who are 11, 9, and 2.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Just been feeling tired and some breast tenderness.
How you found out: I kinda had a feeling early on but decided to take a test yesterday after realizing I was over a week late. It was a very quick positive lol
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I am 35, my fiancé is 47 and we are getting married in November. We have 2 children together, a 3 year old daughter and 4 year old son. I’m a full time student and graduating in December with my BS in Math and teaching credentials, so I can teach high school math.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? I’m tired and a little nervous because of the timing, but I know god has a plan for everything. We had a miscarriage in December, so I’m just praying it all works out for the best this time.
Introduce yourself: My name is Kelsey! I’m 29 years old and this is my second pregnancy and I’m currently just about 5w. My first pregnancy was a loss due to it being ruptured ectopic.
Due date: March 10
How you found out: I knew even before I missed my period that I was pregnant. Like my first pregnancy I got SUPER thirsty and sleepy. I took tests a bit early that were all negative and then once I missed my period I was absolutely convinced that I was pregnant. Took another test one evening after I was a week late and it was still negative. I was baffled and confused and anxious . Took another test the very next morning and finally got my positive. My husband was the one to bring in the test and read it to me. Thinking all the water I was drinking was making this babe a master of disguise by the end of the day😂
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I’m a nurse and my husband is a police officer. We have the cutest Corgi named Winifred who is just a spunky little ball of energy. We are avid movie goers and love our trips to Disney.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally) Definitely a bit nervous and airing on the side of caution. After my first pregnancy being an ectopic it kind of fizzled out my gung-ho excitement planning attitude that I usually have. I’m just taking things day by day at this point. Right now there’s just a little nausea in the mornings and evenings and some very mild cramping. Nothing like the excruciating pain I experienced before which I’m taking as a good sign.
Introduce yourself: Hi! I am a 26 year old woman who is expecting my second child. We spent 6 months really trying, but we were without birth control for 7, almost 8 months.
Due date: March 13th (but in my home country it is the 16th because we count a full pregnancy as 40+3 and it was pretty accurate with my first).
How you found out: I found out right before the weekend trip with my mom and my daughter, last week. I could not believe it because we only DTD twice - 4 days before ovulation and 1 day after.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I have a partner, a daughter who’s 1,5 years old and a little fluffy dog. I love photography, music, films and all things creative.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? I’m hungry all the time, have had some cramping now and again, I feel like I have a constant hangover and I’ve felt a bit emotional today.
Introduce yourself: Hi! My name is Sarah, I am 29 years old, and this is my first pregnancy.
Due date: March 7, 2023
How you found out: I had been tracking BBT and notice an increase after ovulation, but didn’t think much of it since I started summer break and was waking up later than usual. My boobs started to get bigger/sore and since the 4th of July was coming up, I decided to take a test!
Tell us about yourself: My husband and I have been married for almost 2 years. We live out in the country in the PNW. We have two chocolate labs, two cats, and 7 cows and a bunch of ducks and chickens! I an elementary PE teacher, so I don’t think I’ll be running around with the kiddos as much this year!
How are you feeling?: I am excited, but nervous as well. We TTC for a year, so I’m a little nervous something might go wrong. My physical symptoms are starting to appear. My breasts have been swollen for a week or two, but fatigue, bloating, increased appetite and urination, mood swings, mild cramping and nausea have started to appear this week. The cramping is what concerns me the most. I know it’s most likely gas and the uterus growing since it comes and goes and doesn’t feel like period cramps, but I still can’t help but worry! I know all of the signs are a good thing. I do find myself checking my boobs in the morning to make sure they still hurt. 😂
How you found out: My cycle has been really weird the last few times but I realized I was late. Took a test to ease my mind and here we are 😳😆
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) My husband and I have been married 9 years and we have a 7 & 5 year old. I work as a children’s ministry director.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? I’ve been exhausted and actually was worried it was the *sick* that has been going around the last two years. This is a much better alternative. I also think I’ve felt just about every feeling there is today.
Introduce yourself: hi! Just turned 34 and this is our first pregnancy! I have PCOS that has been managed by birth control for over a decade. Got off birth control to try to get pregnant and was shocked that it happened the first month!
Due date: March 1st
How you found out: I didn’t think you could get pregnant the first month that you came off birth control so I just assumed that all the cramping was the wave of pains caused by PCOS. My period was also late so I blamed it on PCOS again. We decided to go for a pretty intensive hike and I thought I started my period on it…turns out it was just a white discharge that was very unfamiliar. I googled that it could mean pregnancy so I took a test and it was positive. Also note that this was THE DAY that Roe v Wade was overturned so what an odd day it was…
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) My husband and I are on a year-long journey exploring the United States and Canada. We are living and working full-time from our Airstream with our very large dog. I work in international affairs.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? I have high anxiety so I Google just about every symptom that I experience until I am convinced that my worry is worse than a detrimental outcome. I have had little nausea but very intense cramping at times. Emotionally I am very relieved and joyful to be pregnant but I’ve had many close friends experience miscarriages, stillbirths, and health defects in their children so I think of them often through this entire experience.
Hi! I’m Megan. I’m 37 and live in Washington state. My husband and I got married Dec 2021 and decided to start trying for our +1 this summer, first babe for both of us. We did one cycle of pulling the goalie, then one better-researched cycle of actually trying.
I took a test one day after my expected period. Hubs got up with me and we got to see it together and we recorded it, just thinking it might be the first of a few, so I was shocked at a BFP! We are so excited! Due date is March 16, first OB appointment isn’t until August, lots of nerves until then!
I’m pretty physically active (running, swimming, yoga) and hope to continue that throughout my pregnancy. I feel great so far. I also like to read and cook. We have one doggo, a mini schnauzer who will be 11 this year. My parents had the same dog when I was born.
Hi! I'm Laura, I'm 23 years old, and I live in Maine. This is my third pregnancy (I have an almost 4 year old and a 1.5 year old). Based on my LMP, my due date should be March 8th (my mom's bday!). We decided to wait to have our third baby since we need more space in our house and a bigger vehicle, so I downloaded an ovulation tracker, and we specifically did not have unprotected sex during or around ovulation. And then I missed my period 🤣 I took a test and it was positive. We are soooo happy and excited. My husband's name is Ben, and our boys are Bastion and Rise. We're working on buying the home that we're renting (across the street from my parents and grandparents) and we have a cat, but we want a dog! I like to bake, play the piano, and draw, but my favorite thing to do is sing! We live in a small trailer and live paycheck to paycheck, but we are happy and we love our life together! As far as how I'm feeling- this is my roughest pregnancy so far at less than 6 weeks. I have every symptom you could think of, and I've been so nauseous and bloated. We are suspecting twins😆. We'll see!
Introduce yourself: Hi, I'm Jess, I'm 31 and live in Canada.
Due date: March 16 from ovulation
How you found out: we were trying, I took a pregnancy test.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I have a 2yrold daughter, and a little dog. I've been with my DH for 9 years. We love hiking in the rocky mountains.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Boobs are very sore, some mild cramping. Those are the only physical symptoms. Emotionally, I'm very nervous. I had a missed miscarriage with my last pregnancy. I found out the cause and worked on fixing it so I'm hopeful. I'm also worried about weight, I'm 20 lbs heavier starting this pregnancy than I was starting my first. I got a personal trainer that specializes in prenatal so I'm hoping that will help.
Introduce yourself: Hi. I'm Cass. 34 and live in the Midwest
Due date: March 26th
How you found out: My fiance and I had been trying since April. Last time I tried it took two years to conceive. I'm a bit surprised it happened this soon! Ended up taking 7 pregnancy tests today just to make sure (leftover infertility anxiety I guess lol)
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I have a 4.5 year old with my ex who I'm so excited to have be a big sister! All total there are 3 dogs and 2 cats between my current partner and I.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Just found out today at 9DPO so im still a bit in disbelief. Pretty sure I ovulated sooner than I thought to already be turning a test. I'm fearful about the early positive and just want to get through first tri. Symptom wise; a lot of pinching in my lower abdomen.
Introduce yourself: I’m Kelsey, 31 years old. I’ve been married 15 months but with my husband for 4.5 years. We live in Canada and he works away from home which sucks. My husband had cancer twice so we did 2 rounds of IVF, 1st round was in June 2021 and resulted in 1 embryo that I miscarried right away. We did another round June 2022 and resulted in 7 embryos! 1 was transferred June 18 and I just got my 6 week ultrasound today to show that I am indeed pregnant but with very swelled up ovaries from getting OHSS.
Due date: March 3 2022
How you found out: I found out via pregnancy test on 5DP5DT
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) we have two dogs, they’re catahoula leopards. I work as an education assistant at a highschool and also work at a womens shelter. I used to love to cook but not currently lol. Now it’s mostly Netflix and relaxing.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Little nausea and was having awful anxiety leading up to my ultrasound today because my fertility clinic told me my HCG levels weren’t what they should be (the first two weren’t the best but the last two were better then they hoped for).
Introduce yourself: HI! I'm nopegoat. I'm a 34yr old sahm/wannabe homesteader.
Due date: Umm.. Not really sure. I'm still breastfeeding my almost 1yr old and my cycles have been crazy. I think it's sometime around March 17 or so though.
How you found out: cycles have been crazy. Was 2wks late on already looong cycle. Took a test 5 days ago and it was negative. I'm a peeaholic and had a few tests left so I decided to prove to myself that I was definitely not pregnant and boom! Two lines.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I am married to my high school sweetheart. October will be 18yrs together. Our life is pure chaos.

Pretty sure this will be boy #7! 😂😂 We have a small but extremely full farm with a chocolate lab named Diesel, a cat and 4 kittens, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, pig, goats, rabbits, and bees. We also homeschool.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Suprised. A little nervous. Scared about vehicle shopping again. And definitely not looking forward to morning sickness to hit. So far my symptoms have been mild though. A little fatigue. Bloat and headaches.

I’m feeling okay I guess. My body and insides feel wild! Had a few days of morning sickness and nausea but now I just feel low energy. It’s been tough to focus and concentrate. Anyone else not feeling motivated to do anything but lay on the couch?
I’m feeling okay I guess. My body and insides feel wild! Had a few days of morning sickness and nausea but now I just feel low energy. It’s been tough to focus and concentrate. Anyone else not feeling motivated to do anything but lay on the couch?
OMG the low energy is real. No matter how I try to counter act it, I’m tired. Rest? Still tired. Go for a long walk? Tired. Work? Tired. Play? Tired. Welcome to the next Forever of our lives I guess 🙃
Thanks for responding tallmama. How far along are you and how are you feeling? I’m about 8 weeks. Tomorrow is my last appointment with my fertility specialist before switching to a “regular obgyn.” Where are you from?
@knottie0a92f1867185aac7 6 weeks today! Feeling pretty good aside from the whole “always tired” bit. I have my first u/s with my fertility clinic on Monday and will be with them till 8 or 10 weeks I think. From MD; you?
Introduce yourself: Hi I’m Kristal. I'm 37 years old and will be a first time mom.
Due date: March 17th
How you found out: I found out about 4 days ago. Realized I hadn't started my cycle yet so bought a pregnancy test on a whim. As I had never been pregnant before, did not think it would be positive. Took one that day and another the next morning with same results.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) As I mentioned, I will be a first time parent. I live in Colorado. I currently work as a Provider Consultant for a nationwide health insurance company. My partner and I have only been together for a few short months but we both have always been on the same page regarding wanting a family one day, just didn't expect it to be so soon. When I'm not working from home, I am usually taking walks with my dog Morgan or hiking in the mountains here in Denver.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Tired every afternoon and beginnings of nausea and lots of bloating. Also had the worst breast pain the other day. Emotionally speaking, still kind of in shock I guess. With my advanced age where pregnancy is concerned, I'm paranoid that something will happen. Just taking it day by day. I know it is only going yo get worse before it gets better!
Due date: App says March 9th, 2023 but waiting till I go in for my first visit to confirm.
How you found out: My period app said I was late and I kept getting bad cramps. Husband and I decided to buy an at home test for the hell of it. Didn’t expect 2 lines to show up because we weren’t trying to conceive and avoided being intimate during ovulation periods in my tracker (guess that was wrong, lol). I still feels surreal but we quickly told our parents and they’ve been super supportive. Planning on announcing to broader groups once I’m further along.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) We’re coming up on 2 years of marriage and this will be our first child but we currently have a 2 yo fur baby (dog). I work from home full-time and my workload is super light to take breaks in between if needed. I love to play video games although I haven’t played anything since I found out. Just really giving myself grace to adjust to all the changes and not forcing anything. Hoping to pick up yoga to stay in shape.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Been feeling mild morning (all-day) sickness that includes nausea (no vomiting), slight migraines, cramps, breast tenderness, frequent peeing. I also have moments where I don’t feel hungry at all but hungry at the same time (if that makes sense lol). Emotionally I’m anxious for my first prenatal check up and see the progress.
Hey talk mamma! Congrats! 6 weeks that means in about a week you will hopefully be able to hear the heart beat!! It is really something to hear the heart beat! I did Ivf ( 2 rounds of egg Retrieval and 2 embryo implants). So to be here at 8 weeks is amazing to me! I’m in NYC. Is this your first pregnancy?
Introduce yourself: hey everyone! Im Sanaa, I’m a 28 year old teacher, I recently moved to the USA to be with my husband. I was hoping to wait until we were back in Canada to start a family, but thankful to have this beautiful opportunity nonetheless, no matter where.
Due date: march 5th! I’m 6 weeks 4 days (got my first ultrasound today to make sure everything was okay after spotting for a week straight- so relieved)
How you found out: I honestly felt it! I could’ve sworn I literally felt the implantation happening, I took the test- it was negative- waited 2 or 3 days and it was positive. My husband was out of town during that time so I surprised him with the news when he got home.
We’ve had a lot of negative things consistently happening over the last 2 years and this news was the best thing we ever could’ve asked for after enduring so many hardships together.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Feeling super emotional, excited, anxious, and thankful! My symptoms are nausea, vomiting, cramps, spotting, unbelievable breast tenderness (never even had that during my period in my life), lower back pain, heartburn, headaches.. and insaaaane bloating…the works I guess
Hey talk mamma! Congrats! 6 weeks that means in about a week you will hopefully be able to hear the heart beat!! It is really something to hear the heart beat! I did Ivf ( 2 rounds of egg Retrieval and 2 embryo implants). So to be here at 8 weeks is amazing to me! I’m in NYC. Is this your first pregnancy?
Thank you! And congrats to you, too! The positive after rounds of treatment is so surreal. This is my 2nd pregnancy, my daughter will be 7 in September.
Introduce yourself: Hi my name is Jaimie, I am 25 years old and my husband and I are expecting our 5th baby, our last little one.
Due date: Due March 8th, expected March 15th (I usually go to 41 weeks)
How you found out: We were tracking cycles and I just felt I was pregnant so I took a test and bfp on July 4th 🙂
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
I have 4 other children, ages 3,6,7, & 9. I also have 5 Rottweilers with the youngest one being 6 month's old.
My husband & I are both ER nurses and very much enjoy what we do ! We also love to travel and I might have a slight shopping problem 😅
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? I've had a lot of nausea and frequent urination, mood wise I started on some new meds for my depression so that's all over the place lol.
Introduce yourself: Hi, I'm Gina. 👋 Happy to meet you all and be part of the mom to be club! I'm 37 and this is my first pregnancy.
Due date: March 9
How you found out: We we're actually in the middle of IVF with an egg donor! We had been TTC for over a year when we went to a fertility clinic. After some tests they said they recommended IVF with a donor egg. I was heart broken, but opted to move forward. Our donor was mid-eggg retrieval cycle and it was time for me to ovulate so I got the ovulation sticks out of the cabinet for one last chance naturally before we start my IVF transfer cycle next month. I thought I had a period a couple weeks ago - it was 3 days, starting CD33, and I thought it was too heavy for implantation bleeding. For some reason I had an urge to take a pregnancy test that that was sitting next to the ovulation sticks. It was positive! I convinced myself it was wrong so took another. I had take the test, saw the results starting to appear when I started to Google reasons for false negative pregnancy tests. Just then, my husband walked in from work. I had a dear in the headlights look when he asked what was going on, then the timer went off! 4 at home tests, and a pair of blood tests, then I could finally believe I'm pregnant!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) My husband and I have been happily married 4 years, together for 7. He's from Manchester, England and we met in SFO airport while both traveling. We both love to travel. My husband finds places to eat/drink and I find a couple must see/do things, and our adventures always fall into place. We spend a lot of time with family and friends, and bring out the games for every hangout. We also have an 11 year old Chorkie (dog) named Bella - I adore her and she has my husband very well trained. I have a stressful but fun job in global program management, and have been working from home for almost 12 years.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Physically, the only symptom I've got is the my breasts are a little tender. Emotionally, I was on cloud 9 for days, but now I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I want this little person to stay inside me and be healthy. Seems like the 15 week mark for testing is forever away. Trying to stay positive and believe that we had such a hard journey to get here, that this will be ok.

Definitely a bit nervous and airing on the side of caution. After my first pregnancy being an ectopic it kind of fizzled out my gung-ho excitement planning attitude that I usually have.

How you found out: I didn’t think you could get pregnant the first month that you came off birth control so I just assumed that all the cramping was the wave of pains caused by PCOS.

I took a test one day after my expected period. Hubs got up with me and we got to see it together and we recorded it, just thinking it might be the first of a few, so I was shocked at a BFP! We are so excited! Due date is March 16, first OB appointment isn’t until August, lots of nerves until then!
I’m pretty physically active (running, swimming, yoga) and hope to continue that throughout my pregnancy. I feel great so far. I also like to read and cook. We have one doggo, a mini schnauzer who will be 11 this year. My parents had the same dog when I was born.
We decided to wait to have our third baby since we need more space in our house and a bigger vehicle, so I downloaded an ovulation tracker, and we specifically did not have unprotected sex during or around ovulation. And then I missed my period 🤣 I took a test and it was positive. We are soooo happy and excited.
My husband's name is Ben, and our boys are Bastion and Rise. We're working on buying the home that we're renting (across the street from my parents and grandparents) and we have a cat, but we want a dog! I like to bake, play the piano, and draw, but my favorite thing to do is sing! We live in a small trailer and live paycheck to paycheck, but we are happy and we love our life together!
As far as how I'm feeling- this is my roughest pregnancy so far at less than 6 weeks. I have every symptom you could think of, and I've been so nauseous and bloated. We are suspecting twins😆. We'll see!
I have a 4.5 year old with my ex who I'm so excited to have be a big sister! All total there are 3 dogs and 2 cats between my current partner and I.
Just found out today at 9DPO so im still a bit in disbelief. Pretty sure I ovulated sooner than I thought to already be turning a test. I'm fearful about the early positive and just want to get through first tri. Symptom wise; a lot of pinching in my lower abdomen.
Due date: March 3 2022
How you found out: I found out via pregnancy test on 5DP5DT
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) we have two dogs, they’re catahoula leopards. I work as an education assistant at a highschool and also work at a womens shelter. I used to love to cook but not currently lol. Now it’s mostly Netflix and relaxing.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Little nausea and was having awful anxiety leading up to my ultrasound today because my fertility clinic told me my HCG levels weren’t what they should be (the first two weren’t the best but the last two were better then they hoped for).

Due date: March 17th
How you found out: I found out about 4 days ago. Realized I hadn't started my cycle yet so bought a pregnancy test on a whim. As I had never been pregnant before, did not think it would be positive. Took one that day and another the next morning with same results.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) As I mentioned, I will be a first time parent. I live in Colorado. I currently work as a Provider Consultant for a nationwide health insurance company. My partner and I have only been together for a few short months but we both have always been on the same page regarding wanting a family one day, just didn't expect it to be so soon. When I'm not working from home, I am usually taking walks with my dog Morgan or hiking in the mountains here in Denver.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Tired every afternoon and beginnings of nausea and lots of bloating. Also had the worst breast pain the other day. Emotionally speaking, still kind of in shock I guess. With my advanced age where pregnancy is concerned, I'm paranoid that something will happen. Just taking it day by day. I know it is only going yo get worse before it gets better!
Hi Everyone, I go by Toni.
Due date:
App says March 9th, 2023 but waiting till I go in for my first visit to confirm.
How you found out:
My period app said I was late and I kept getting bad cramps. Husband and I decided to buy an at home test for the hell of it. Didn’t expect 2 lines to show up because we weren’t trying to conceive and avoided being intimate during ovulation periods in my tracker (guess that was wrong, lol). I still feels surreal but we quickly told our parents and they’ve been super supportive. Planning on announcing to broader groups once I’m further along.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
We’re coming up on 2 years of marriage and this will be our first child but we currently have a 2 yo fur baby (dog). I work from home full-time and my workload is super light to take breaks in between if needed. I love to play video games although I haven’t played anything since I found out. Just really giving myself grace to adjust to all the changes and not forcing anything. Hoping to pick up yoga to stay in shape.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)?
Been feeling mild morning (all-day) sickness that includes nausea (no vomiting), slight migraines, cramps, breast tenderness, frequent peeing. I also have moments where I don’t feel hungry at all but hungry at the same time (if that makes sense lol). Emotionally I’m anxious for my first prenatal check up and see the progress.
Due date: march 5th! I’m 6 weeks 4 days (got my first ultrasound today to make sure everything was okay after spotting for a week straight- so relieved)
How you found out: I honestly felt it! I could’ve sworn I literally felt the implantation happening, I took the test- it was negative- waited 2 or 3 days and it was positive. My husband was out of town during that time so I surprised him with the news when he got home.
We’ve had a lot of negative things consistently happening over the last 2 years and this news was the best thing we ever could’ve asked for after enduring so many hardships together.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Feeling super emotional, excited, anxious, and thankful! My symptoms are nausea, vomiting, cramps, spotting, unbelievable breast tenderness (never even had that during my period in my life), lower back pain, heartburn, headaches.. and insaaaane bloating…the works I guess
My husband & I are both ER nurses and very much enjoy what we do ! We also love to travel and I might have a slight shopping problem 😅
I've had a lot of nausea and frequent urination, mood wise I started on some new meds for my depression so that's all over the place lol.
Can't wait to see everyone's adventure 🙂
Happy to meet you all and be part of the mom to be club! I'm 37 and this is my first pregnancy.
Due date: March 9
How you found out: We we're actually in the middle of IVF with an egg donor! We had been TTC for over a year when we went to a fertility clinic. After some tests they said they recommended IVF with a donor egg. I was heart broken, but opted to move forward. Our donor was mid-eggg retrieval cycle and it was time for me to ovulate so I got the ovulation sticks out of the cabinet for one last chance naturally before we start my IVF transfer cycle next month. I thought I had a period a couple weeks ago - it was 3 days, starting CD33, and I thought it was too heavy for implantation bleeding. For some reason I had an urge to take a pregnancy test that that was sitting next to the ovulation sticks. It was positive! I convinced myself it was wrong so took another. I had take the test, saw the results starting to appear when I started to Google reasons for false negative pregnancy tests. Just then, my husband walked in from work. I had a dear in the headlights look when he asked what was going on, then the timer went off! 4 at home tests, and a pair of blood tests, then I could finally believe I'm pregnant!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
My husband and I have been happily married 4 years, together for 7. He's from Manchester, England and we met in SFO airport while both traveling.
We both love to travel. My husband finds places to eat/drink and I find a couple must see/do things, and our adventures always fall into place. We spend a lot of time with family and friends, and bring out the games for every hangout.
We also have an 11 year old Chorkie (dog) named Bella - I adore her and she has my husband very well trained.
I have a stressful but fun job in global program management, and have been working from home for almost 12 years.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Physically, the only symptom I've got is the my breasts are a little tender. Emotionally, I was on cloud 9 for days, but now I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I want this little person to stay inside me and be healthy. Seems like the 15 week mark for testing is forever away. Trying to stay positive and believe that we had such a hard journey to get here, that this will be ok.
