Re: Introductions
I’m a chronic early tester so I got my bfp several days before my missed period. I’m about 6.5 weeks now and estimating my due date around Jan. 5th.
First appointment, symptoms, anything else pregnancy related you’d like to discuss?
My first appointment isn’t until 6/6 and I can’t wait. So far I’ve just been extremely tired and a little queasy a couple times but nothing too bad!

I’m a pharmacist and I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 4 years now. We have a son that was born in July 2021 and our dog Dixie. Any spare time I have I like to spend with my family or reading
I’m 5w6d today. I had indigestion, which I rarely get so at 11 dpo I tested in the evening and it was positive.
I’m 5w4d! I can be extremely type-A, so I tested daily starting the day before my missed period, but I had a feeling before then because I was just SO tired.
I was treated for an ectopic Dec/Jan, so I’ve been trending my HCG and have already had two ultrasounds to make sure this one isn’t trying to kill me. Luckily everything is trending well this time around! At our second ultrasound we got to see the gestational sac and will check next week for cardiac activity!! Aside from the reassuring medical news, this one just feels different, so I’m very optimistic!
As for me, I’m a technology audit manager, so I’m lucky to have remote work and a lot of flexibility. I have my husband and our first “child”, a 3 year old AmStaff. In my spare time I love to workout (I’m an avid Orangetheory member of almost 5 years), read, travel, and I love everything to do with food - cooking it, eating it, learning about it!
So excited to have this community!
7 weeks yay! We we’re trying for 5 months so I was checking regularly after the two week wait at home.
First appointment, symptoms, anything else pregnancy related you’d like to discuss?
My first appointment is at 8 weeks on May 23. I travelled to Dom Rep and got an early US at 6 weeks and saw my babe! Saw the heart beating. No morning sickness but lots of GI upset. Constipation, bloating, gas, weight gain.
Tell us about yourself! Job, spouse, pets, other kids, hobbies, etc.?
I’m a ped NP, married 11/11/23 to a wonderful chef. 2 pet doggies. No kids. Hobbies include tv, movies, books, food, babysitting and dog sitting.
I’ve had some massive bloating, nausea, and heart burn. Fortunately no vomiting yet and hopefully it stays that way! I’m pretty nervous because I have a history of lower back and migraine issues so I am hoping this doesn’t cause even worse pain.
I found out when I suddenly couldn’t wake up to my alarms & was sleeping during my kids’ nap time! The fatigue has been REAL. Found out right before my anniversary and got to surprise my husband with the news:)
First appointment, symptoms, anything else pregnancy related you’d like to discuss?
First US is Monday, went for HCG testing/confirmation at 5 weeks. Nausea ebbs and flows, but the fatigue is constant!
My husband & I have been married for 7 years, have 2 other children (4yo & 2yo) and excited for #3! A 6 year old golden retriever, too.
I am a former math teacher but now work for an organic CBD company from home, while also staying home with my children! I enjoy working out & shopping!
My period tracking app had me suspicious....I ended up taking a test the day before my period was to start and came back positive
My first appointment with my family doctor is June 8th. She will then refer me to an ob...chances are due to me being 35 and also being on medication for psoriasis at the time of getting pregnant along with me getting choleostasis with my last pregnancy I will be considered high risk.
My first appointment is at 8 weeks which feels like forever away. Is it so bad that I want to go in early just to confirm the pregnancy??
For work I have a corporate job working for a commercial insurance broker with long busy days and lots of entertaining so I have been fake drinking for a few weeks now trying to hide my secret!
My wk 8 appointment is June 2nd but is just a phone appointment, then my wk 11 appointment and US is June 23rd. I did have blood work done during week 5 to confirm the pregnancy since I’ve had an ectopic pregnancy before. So far I’ve mostly had fatigue and a little cramping and nausea. I’m also on progesterone until wk 12.
I’m a creative director for a functional nutrition company. My husband and I have a 10 year old Goldendoodle and 5 year old Aussiedoodle. I love to cook, garden and travel. We’re currently renovating our home so looking forward to getting back into the house in August and setting up our nursery!
I felt like I just knew I was! I tested on the day my period was supposed to start and sure enough!
First appointment, symptoms, anything else pregnancy related you’d like to discuss?
My first app. isn’t until 6/22 😭 so far away!! I’ve mostly been dealing with fatigue.
Tell us about yourself! Job, spouse, pets, other kids, hobbies, etc.?
I teach English and will be starting a new job in august at a cc. My husband and I have been married for almost a year and a half. We have a mini Aussie and are excited to be welcoming our first baby! We both also coach at the local high school!
This will be my third pregnancy. I’ve had two miscarriages previously. I’m so excited for this one but also so scared that will happen again.
I am an RN on a surgical ward, and my husband is an optometrist. We love hiking and climbing and biking, and are eager for next summer when we get to bring a six month old with us for smaller scale outings!!
So far symptoms have been minor. I’m currently 5w1d, and with my previous pregnancies it was around 6 weeks that the nausea hit. Right now I’m mostly just tired, like lots of others in this group!
I’m excited to come along on all you journeys. We are due Jan 18th, and we cannot wait to meet the little kiddo!!
I had tested too early and way too many times the cycle before and I was being hit with big fat negatives.
I was certain that the next cycle wasn't going to take. This cycle, I got the confirmation from my at-home fertility monitors that ovulation had occurred. But I still didn't think anything of it.
I decided to take a pregnancy test on the 13th day after ovulation. I didn't feel pregnant or anything. I took the test and it was positive. I was SHOCKED. And shaking. What a feeling! Later, I took another one that had the word confirmation on it to be "extra sure" and it said "pregnant".
According to my app, I am 5 weeks and 1 day! My potential due date is January 20th, 2024.
So far my symptoms are just extremely sore breasts. I can't tell if I am hungrier or not. I always had the weirdest cravings before I was pregnant so I can't tell. I also am generally a very tired person, so I also can't tell if I'm more tired. I actually think I'm less tired.. Too early to tell.
My first appointment is on 5/26 and I can’t wait! I will be exactly 6 weeks pregnant, so it's on the early side to see the doctor BUT we are leaving for Europe on 5/28 for a few weeks and I wanted to see the doc before then.
(also, I know...can't wait to travel a ton, be queasy and non-alcoholic in Europe.......)
I'm a video editor and I've been married for one year. I met my husband at work in NYC. We have been together for almost 6 years. We have the snuggliest 8-year old cat and the craziest 3-year old dog. We are very excited and curious to see how they welcome the baby :)
My husband and I have been trying for 1 1/2 and I know that’s not very long but I turned 37 almost 2 weeks ago so I’ve been a bit impatient. Started seeing fertility doctor back in october and had an iui in December which took but then when I went in for my second appointment it turned out there was no heartbeat and I was heartbroken and I had no idea because I was on progesterone and I had no symptoms of a miscarriage and ended up having to have a D&C end of January because my body was holding onto the pregnancy.
Sorry for the long post I’m not telling many people so it’s nice to have others to share with until I’m comfortable telling more people. But I live with my husband and our lab mix and I love the outdoors and animals. I work in retail and volunteer with a therapeutic riding group in my free time that helps children and adults
Hi!
I’m just over 6 weeks today, due around Jan 12th. We did a frozen embryo transfer and every due date calculator I’ve tried gives me a different date! My first ultrasound is coming up on Thursday, so I’ll get an “official” due date then! I’m always a bit nervous until I see it.
I tested early, 5dp5dt because I started feeling crappy almost right away—food wasn’t sitting right, and just exhausted, like flipping a switch. I knew it worked! The nausea has been worse this time, so I’m already on Dicleigis, which makes me sleepy but it’s worth it to be able to eat a little bit better. Also more cramping especially after activity. I’ve had to plan my days a little more carefully to alternative periods of rest and doing stuff.
DH and I are both healthcare workers in the northeast, @pharmd93 he’s a pharmacist too! He does informatics for one of our big hospitals. We have 2 daughters, who are 4.5 and 1. Our first we conceived without too much trouble, but our second was the result of IVF after trying a lot of other things first. I’m grateful our IVF went well and that we were able to do another transfer for baby #3. We did not test our embryos so we do not know the sex yet. Hobbies are quilting, knitting (duh), reading, and long walks with my stroller and podcasts.
PS. Can I make an easy request? If your username starts with Knottie and then a bunch of random numbers, can you go into your settings and change it to something unique? I would love to get to know you and be able to remember who you are!
I found out the day my period was supposed to start. My husband and I have been trying for ten months and this is our first child. I’m 6 weeks 2 days, due January 12th.
First appointment, symptoms, anything else pregnancy related you’d like to discuss? So far I’ve had nausea that comes and goes and fatigue. My first appointment is not until week 9.
Tell us about yourself! Job, spouse, pets, other kids, hobbies, etc.? I’m an Environmental Scientist. My husband and I met in grad school and we have been married nine years. We have two dogs and two cats. My hobbies are traveling, hiking, and working out.
I am on progesterone and estrace, so it’s difficult to know what symptoms are from the meds vs. pregnancy. So far sore breasts and some fatigue, otherwise I’m feeling good.
My husband and I have been married 3 years next week! We had to cancel our wedding and opted to have a 10 person COVID wedding, and then we had a reception 1 year later. We have been trying the past 2 years and on and off the year prior between our wedding and reception. We have been together 10 years. I’m an Audiologist. We have one dog!
I’ve been incredibly exhausted and sleeping so much (I’m typically not a napper). I also have had some mild cramps and aches frequently. My first appointment is on May 30th.
My first appointment is actually this week, which is early but I’m probably considered high-risk. This is my 9th pregnancy, 5 of which have been miscarriages. I’m also in the 35+ category this go around so that’ll be interesting. I suspect I will get put on progesterone at some point soon as it has tended to be an issue in my other pregnancies.
I’m a high school English teacher and my husband is an EDI analyst. We’ve been together for about 3 years, married for 1. I have three kids from my first marriage, but this will be his first. I don’t have a ton of time for hobbies but when I can I like to read, work in my garden, play with my camera, and travel.
- 7 weeks! We were trying for about 2 years and just started looking into fertility treatments so early testing every month just in case! Due date early January
First appointment, symptoms, anything else pregnancy related you’d like to discuss?
- So tired! And holy lower back pain. I never have loved a heating pad so much.

- Financial advisor, married almost 3 years and this will be our first. We have two 9 y/o dogs so it will be interesting getting them used to this. Love everything outdoors- hiking, hunting, paddle boarding.
Glad to be here with you all!
I found out on day1 of my expected period. my periods are never late, and i had a gut feeling i was pregnant. Turned out I actually am.

I'm a software engineer, married to a handsome doc. we got pregnant on our 2nd month of marriage...so soon and I love it.
This will be our first, and they’ll be welcomed into the home with our two dogs and my brother in law who lives in our basement apartment.
It has been a two and a half year fertility journey and we are hoping we finally get to meet our little one in January
First appointment, symptoms, anything else pregnancy related you’d like to discuss?
I scheduled an appt for mid-June // so far just a little nauseous here and there… currently traveling so hoping the flight home goes okay!
Curious to know how you plan to announce and when?! I’m excited to share with the ppl closest to me - I want to document it so love hearing ideas!
How did you find out/how far along are you?
I’m currently 4w5d. I knew my cycle was imminent and had a weekend line up with alcohol and something in my gut told me to check. My husband thought I was crazy but voila.
First appointment, symptoms, anything else pregnancy related you’d like to discuss?
My GYN confirmed me 2 days after my home test. I have a telemed with an OB in 2 weeks. Ultrasound 2 weeks after that and my first sit down with the OB 2 weeks after that. The nausea and bloat are real!!

My husband and I have been married for 10 years and this is our first. We have an 11 year old dachshund. I work in strategy for a big corporation. Love to travel and cook two things that are going to change drastically I’m sure.
I am an IVF mama! We transferred a day 5 frozen embryo on May 1st and pregnancy was confirmed May 10th. Currently 6w2d along
First appointment, symptoms, anything else pregnancy related you’d like to discuss?
I had an ectopic rupture in Feb 2022 after trying for a year and a half and four months on ovulation meds. Was devastating. We opted to do IVF because of my age (I’ll be 40 when our Sloth is born) and because I don’t ovulate naturally.
My HCG number started at 19 on 9 days post transfer and I was very hopeless that it worked, my number increased to 33.5 on 11 days, but then on 15 days we got a beautiful, healthy number of 289.4 and have been looking good since then! I had an early scan with my history of ectopic and baby is in the uterus which was a huge relief!!
My symptoms are cramps, moodiness, fatigue and a whole lot of nausea.

I’m a escrow manager at a title company. My super supportive and amazing hubby is a service manager at an IT company.
We have the absolute best mutt puppers who will love and hate the baby at the same time haha. She will no longer be the baby of the family so I see some jealousy happening, but I know she will want to be with them all the time, too.
We also have two cats, one boy and one girl. Both are not going to be thrilled with the baby noises. One cat is almost 16 (my cat) and I’m interested in seeing when he truly realizes I’m pregnant. He sleeps on my stomach a lot and I don’t think he will enjoy it once baby starts to move.
I love to grow vegetables in our backyard, sing, read and just be with people I love most!
VFL at 9dpo, betas 102 at 3w6d, 324 at 4w1d. Currently 4 weeks 3 days and hopeful.
Early ultrasound scheduled for Friday, June 9. Current symptoms are all day exhaustion, and occasional waves of nausea.

I’m 37, My husband and I just got married in November. I have three other children (9, 13, 17) from a previous marriage. He travels a lot for work and is out of town most of the week, so I’m thankful we were able to get here with his crazy schedule. We just rescued a four month old puppy. I work as a kickboxing and strength training group fitness instructor and casual as an EMT. In my free time, I am obsessed with baking and re-creating giant Crumbl style cookies.
due January 30th so I may add myself to the February group
Took pregnancy test after missed period. I’ve been trying to figure out hormone stuff the last few months and decided last month to not track anything. I’m due 1/27
First appointment, symptoms, anything else pregnancy related you’d like to discuss?
Haven’t scheduled an appt yet as I know my doctor doesn’t see me until 8-10 weeks. Only symptoms are I’m tired but have insomnia.. every now and I then I get a tinge of nausea but goes away quickly. Hoping it stays that way.
Tell us about yourself! Job, spouse, pets, other kids, hobbies, etc.?
I’m a stay at home mom to 6 living children. I have had 3 miscarriages (2013,2014 and 2022) we lost our daughter at 3 days old in 2017 due to a brain malformation. Husband does hardwood floors, have no pets and I like to play the piano and do woodworking.
Symptoms? Well extreme fatigue, breast tenderness, really bad nausea, severe food aversions, cramping to the nines. I’m 8weeks along. My first kiddo is about to be 3 in June and my cats absolutely love laying on top of me or around my tummy. My kid hasn’t grasped the idea of being a bigger sibling and that’s fine, they’ll get used to it eventually (they love babies as is, hold them, feed them, help out). Kinda nervous as i have trauma from birthing my first one so :)))
My first appointment is at week 8. As far as symptoms, I don't have any nausea at all.The only symptom I have is very tender nipples and my breasts looking and feeling rounder. Since I don't have many symptoms, I still kind of feel in denial that there's a baby forming in me! I can't wait for the ultrasound to solidify it for me.
I have been happily married to my high school sweetheart for 7 years! I am an ICU RN and I've been a travel nurse for the last year and a half. We have 2 lovely rescue pups who go with us everywhere, and I can't wait to grow our little family!
