Re: Introductions!
Due date: April 2nd
How you found out: pregnancy test the day before my period was due - we were trying for 2 months.
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) My hubby and will both be first time parents and we have been married for 8 years but moved around a bit before settling in Switzerland. I am a lawyer at a listed company, I love theatre, art exhibitions, concerts, running and reformer Pilates. I am a travel addict and foodie.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? I am naturally an anxious person so this forum will help me get through some of the anxiety of worrying about the baby and stressing myself as I have a very demanding job and don’t have family close by. I am feeling grateful for the pregnancy as becoming a mom has been my biggest wish. Physically I have the same symptoms as others - bloated, frequent urination, cramps (a lot of the left which worries me a little). Pregnancy still needs to be confirmed by the doc,
This is our second baby with IVF.
Love Switzerland!
I’ve been feeling a lot of cramping so far. I’m hoping it’s all good things happening.
We have a two year old boy born also via IVF after 7 years of trying.
symptoms so far just fatigue and painful breast! Also some acid reflux for some reason, it seems early for that but!
How you found out: No luck yet :(
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I love hiking and anything outdoorsy. Books and jazz music are two of my fave forms of entertainment. Because I love the outdoors, my fiancé takes me to the park a lot and built me a beautiful deck in our back yard.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? I am feeling sad, depressed, and inadequate. My fiancé and have been TTC for 8-months with no luck. I was pregnant 3-times back in college (14yrs ago) and despite no complications with the termination of those pregnancies I've never been pregnant again in all these years. I couldn't raise a kid then nor could I afford one. I was 18/19 in college trying to figure out life and chasing a guy who made it clear that he didn't want me. Fast fwd to current and I feel like God is punishing me for my poor childhood choices. I AM SO SORRY for my past decisions, had I known I'd be punished in this way I would have suffered through those pregnancies as a teen. My fiancé and I desperately want kids! We've had fertility testing and the Dr. says I have great AMH and FSH levels, my cycle is extremely regular (I've tracked it via an app for 11years now and its always spot on), and I ovulate consistently according to my BBT and monthly LH testing. My partner and I began using PreSeed July 15th, 2024 hoping for a pregnancy this cycle but I doubt we've been successful. My period is expected August 7th, 2024 and I'm experiencing my typical emotional H3LL and low back pain which is a tell-tale sign my period will be arriving as normally, another failure for me :( I want to give my fiancé a child so badly because he is so good to me, his face lights up anytime he talks about kids, and I just know it'll bring us even closer. I honestly feel like less of a woman. I feel like a failure!
Due date: 4/5
How you found out: We have been trying for 9-10 months so I was tracking my cycle. I had my period super early last cycle so I wasn’t sure when my period was coming. I took a test a day after I thought my period was late. Currently 5 weeks and still in shock I am pregnant. I was convinced that I would never be able to get pregnant.
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) This is my first pregnancy. My husband and I have been together for over 8 years, married for 5. We have two dogs and a cat. I love reading, puzzles, travel, working out, and listening to music.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? Anxious, shocked, overwhelmed, grateful, happy,etc. My symptoms have been mild nauseous here and there. Mostly it has been cramps, back aches, and mood swings. My boobs have definitely gotten bigger.
Due date: April 8th (still need to confirm with Dr.) Longest wait ever for that first appointment.
How you found out: Tracking and Early Result Test
Tell us about yourself: I’m from the US, Pittsburgh PA and I’m an OR Nurse. We currently have a 14 year old daughter and 1 1/2 year old son. Had some struggles with miscarriages before our son and once since then TTC the past few months. Needless to say I’m a nervous wreck with the first trimester. We have 3 fur babies (1 cat, & 2 Dogs) and they all knew before I did! They get very snuggly with me while I’m pregnant.
How are you feeling: Feeling pretty good! Chest is mildly sore and some nausea in the evenings but pretty mild so far. I was pretty emotional the week before I found out and thought it was just raging PMS 🤦🏻♀️🤣.
Due Date: April 12th
How you found out: Blood test after a successful IVF round.
Due; I'm due on April 12th (3 days before my birthday)
Found out?: Found out with a test 3 days before my period. I always get period symptoms for the week before my period, so by halfway through the week I knew! We've been trying since May.
About me; No other kids, this is our first! Have a kitty named Holly. I'm a barista at a local coffee shop, and my husband works in construction. We're also renovating our first house currently! It's a big job and now there's a time limit on it because of baby haha.
Symptoms: I'm very tired and nauseous on and off but otherwise just very happy and a bit worried.
My due date as of now, is April 15th, still waiting for my first ultrasound/dr appt. though!
I am married and have a almost 3 year old daughter and a wiener dog. I currently stay at home with her during the week but she is about to start a daycare program. I am also trying to get potty training started asap!!
So far i'm feeling not too bad. I am happy that we were able to conceive with 2 tries. The first try ended up being a chemical pregnancy right after finding out I was pregnant but we were lucky enough to conceive a few weeks later!
I track my menstrual cycle etc and should be 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow!
I have had REAL bad nausea already and cramping. Yesterday I experienced some GI related issues which is a first for me (very uncomfortable and a little scary)
I have anxiety disorder and my anxiety levels have been a bit higher than I'd like. Hoping that will pass.
I tested positive so early I feel like and with my early pregnancy symptoms starting immediantly it seems, i'm wondering if there's a possibility I am pregnant with TWINS. that would be...shocking haha. I am 31 and will be 32 when I give birth.
Anybody else having extreme early symptoms and wondering the same?
congrats to all the mommas out there by the way
Due date: April 14!
How you found out: we were doing IVF, so I tested out the trigger. Then I saw a faint line come back- then we had a blood test scheduled and it came back positive. We’ve had three positive blood tests with appropriate HCG rises now! So - accepting this may be really happening!
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
I have two children. I used to work in finance before staying home with the kids. My husband is a robotics engineer.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? A little nausea but manageable so far. Emotionally a little on edge- we have a history of loss and this pregnancy took a lot of effort to get to because I’m old (😂) so if this doesn’t make it, we made the decision to be grateful for the family we have. I typically get hyperemesis so I’m just waiting for that to hit, but doing relatively okay so far. Eating ALL the things with the assumption I won’t be able to enjoy food again for months 🤦♀️😂
Due date: estimated 4/20 (waiting for my first appointment)
How you found out: my husband and I have been trying for about 2 years, and he has always paid close attention to my symptoms. He noticed my breast swelling and ran to get a test. Needless to say, he was right.
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I have 2 fur babies, one cat named bandit and an English bulldog named Smokey. Since finding out about the pregnancy me and my husband are speeding up our original moving plans. Luckily he owns his company and can work online, and I’m holding onto my job as a surgical technician until we do move.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? My mood swings are very touchy, I’m easily overwhelmed and overstimulated. Which is unfortunate due to is causing some arguments however other than that I’ve just been eating a lot and sleeping if I’m not working. Emotionally I’m nervous (first time parent) and I’m not sure how my family is going to react when I finally tell them.
Introduce yourself: hey all. I’m B as well, 38 and from New England.
Due date: 4/25 based on ovulation
How you found out: we were visiting my dad for a few day during implantation window, so I was testing like a fool since we never get to tell him anything in person. Very faint line on an amazon cheapie in the evening at 8dpo, clear positive on a FRER at 9dpo and positive on a digital at 10dpo. We used the digital to tell my dad since it was the day before we flew out of town.
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) 2 boys already (12 and almost 3) and one 9yo Rhodesian ridgeback. I’m an IT support manager in a role that I am really loving. I was hired to start this division from the ground up about 16 months ago and it’s been pretty great so far. In my “spare” time I’m either at the hockey rink for my older son or triathlon training. My husband of 8 years is turning 37 on Monday. He’s in a construction field, coaches my oldest’s hockey team and plays on his own in a beer league, and also does triathlon.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? I’ve been nauseous on and off for days, which feels really early to me. I took the test at 8dpo due to the nausea. My boobs have also been “heavy” and sore, or my nips have felt like they’re attacked by razor blades (my first symptom with my last two). Emotionally I’m a bit of a mess. I have a thyroid condition which I suspect caused us to experience an early mc in December because I couldn’t get in to my endo to check my levels for a month after my positive. I was able to get my thyroid levels checked today and she was able to update my medication that I’ll start tomorrow, so that should help ease some of my anxiety. I was told not to go in for my first HCG until Saturday and the follow up on Monday, I’m hoping those results also help clear up the “I’m a mess” feeling.
Due date: 04/29 (still need to tell my doctor but that’s based on my last period 😌)
How you found out: I was having pms symptoms and just decided to test and it was a faint line :)
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I have a nine month old daughter, 2 cats, + I’m a stay-at-home mom + a wife to the best husband 🫶🏽 I like to embroider, work out, + go on walks!
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? I am hungry like every 2 hours 😂 cramping + so so tired. But other than that I’m so so happy + am so excited for our second!
Due date: April 22, 2025 (April 22 is also my best friends birthday so I love that)
How you found out: We’ve been trying to conceive for a few months, our first son was a total accident. We were actively trying to not conceive and somehow ended up with a beautiful baby boy, truly a miracle child. It’s been a little bit different of a journey this go round since we knew we wanted another and I’m still managing my PCOS symptoms. I anm very happy to say that after four months TTC I took a pregnancy test today after being a few days late on my period and it was positive.
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job?
I work from home full time as a recruiter for a technology company. I have an almost 2 year old son and a dog named, Gus.
Garden, hike, yoga, travel, read (I love my book club nights!), cook, and enjoy time with my family.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? I feel fine which is how I felt the first time around, I wouldn’t have guessed that I was pregnant unless I had been tracking my period and ovulation through an app. I’m hoping to stay this way in general throughout the rest of my pregnancy. Emotionally though I’m definitely a little anxious, excited, and already starting to think of a plan for baby. Those nesting instincts are strong!
Due date: 4/18
How you found out: First noticed my breasts were swelling, then 2 days of faint lines, then positive digital 3 days before missed period. We had been trying for 4 months.
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?). My husband and I have been together 12 years, married 3 years. No other kids, but our 2 dogs keep us busy. I work in public health.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? Sore breasts, very bloated, cramping on and off, fatigue, and having waves of nausea and reflux. Emotionally a bit nervous but mostly excited!
Due date: April 16th but will most likely be induced a week early because my two older daughters were 9lbs & 10lbs
How you found out: it was a huge surprise - took a test because my period was late!
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) we have two daughters, Natalie (8) and Claire (4) - been married for 12 years. We love to travel the world with our kiddos so hopefully we can keep that up with this new babe 🤗 I’m a teacher turned SAHM mom when my older daughter was born.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? Feeling totally normal other than some sore boobs…6 weeks is shortly and if history repeats itself I will start feeling naseous and sick then!
I don’t tell any personal stuff online because social media and forums can’t be trusted. I’m feeling tired mostly. The morning sickness is barely there because I take vitamin b6 and unisom every day and I am currently 6 weeks and it’s working great. This is my 3rd baby. I have no miscarriages or losses and I’m 22 years old.
Due date: April 25, 2025
How you found out: My husband and I were TTC so I had been tracking my cycle. I legitimately thought that I wasn’t pregnant and that this wasn’t our month as I felt like I do when my period is about to start. The day my period was supposed to start my pms symptoms disappeared which threw me off. I also randomly noticed while checking my Apple Watch that my BBT was climbing. I ended up taking a pregnancy test and it was immediately positive!
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) my husband and I have been together 3 years and married a year and a half. This will be our first child. We have a dog and a cat that both keep us on our toes! I also love being active either by lifting heavy weights at the gym or taking fun cardio classes. I also love crafting of all different types.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? So far I feel extremely bloated, tired and a little moody. Today’s frustration was discovering that my lone pair of jeans that had fit are not fitting comfortably between the bloat and putting some muscle on at the gym this past spring. I guess I’ll be shopping for new clothes sooner than I expected!
Due date: May 3, but I had my first at 38 weeks exactly and the women in my family tend to give birth 2-3 weeks early so I would guess I’ll give birth mid to late April.
How you found out: We were not trying, but also, not not trying 😁. We already have an 18 month old and were going to try for a second in 2025. But my period never came and now the tests are positive so here comes baby #2 hopefully!
Tell us about yourself: My son is 18 months old, and my husband is a teacher. We are really excited for baby #2. Our son is a huge goof ball. Doesn’t sleep through the night but is a huge cuddle bug. When we aren’t working, we enjoy family trips to Costco and the farmer’s market! I love gardening and my husband does woodworking.
How are you feeling: Symptoms started immediately like they did with my first two pregnancies (I had a chemical pregnancy a few months before I conceived my son, so this is technically my third pregnancy). Sore gums, sore boobs, some nausea, and I am full of farts 🙃. Emotionally - excited and scared! I had horrible nausea with my son and I’m nervous to navigate that with a toddler now. But last time I didn’t take any meds for nausea and I won’t make that mistake again. In the meantime, I’m having fun thinking of names!
So grateful and excited I get to go on this pregnancy journey again 💜
Hi! My name is Terrin
Due date:
April 29th
How you found out:
Hubby and I had a “heat of the moment” situation, and realized immediately after that it happened in my fertile window 🫣 At first we were just joking that I might end up pregnant, so we went out and got some tests the day before my period was due and much to our shock, they came back positive! We already have 2 boys and *thought* we were done, but life seems to have other plans for our family 🥰
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
My husband and I are high school sweethearts. We’ve been married almost 9 years, and have been together for 14 🩷 Like I said, we have two boys. They are 7 and 5, but we also have two dogs and a cat! It’s a pretty full house here, and about to get even fuller 😂
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)?
I’m currently 5w 1d and don’t really have any symptoms…my boobs are a little sore sometimes, but that’s about it! It’s weirding me out a bit ngl because I was sooooo sick with both boys starting at like 4 weeks! Sort of hoping it might mean this one is a girl! 🤞🏻🎀 Nervous about adding an unexpected third child, but feeling like this was “meant to be” 🫶🏻
Due date: April 28 doing the LMP/28 day cycle math. I’m expecting to have it adjusted ahead a few days and land in May group - I have PCOS and my cycles are usually 30+ days so.
How you found out: My friend’s period hadn’t started several days after getting to her sugar pills in her pack, and mine was “late” too. I’ve been trying to conceive for >2 years, battling 30-70 day cycles, and having failed 3 rounds of letrozole earlier this year. So I wasn’t serious when I made a joke we could be test buddies the next day….and I got a blazing positive and her period started!
Tell us about yourself: I live in a rural area in Canada, been married 4 years in Sept, with one dog, and we are both healthcare providers.
How are you feeling: Very excited and also very congested! I tested positive for COVID a couple of days before the pregnancy test, and I really really miss decongestants. Early pregnancy symptoms so far have been sore boobs and peeing more frequently.
Im an Active Duty Army Officer and my family and I recently got stationed in Colorado. My husband and I have a one year old daughter and a golden retriever. Outside of working and momming, i like to paint, weightlift, and do really anything outdoors!
I took a home pregnancy test after being late and more than normal hair loss. Since finding out I have had severe problems with nausea and vomiting, spotting, a rough roller-coaster of emotions....and worry for health reasons I will explain in a moment.
This isnmy 4th pregnancy, with 1 miscarriage. (My first pregnancy ever was a miscarriage). The I got pregnant at 21 in 2007 with my first daughter. Had emergency c section. Then no more children til 2023! Yup. 16 years later at 39 I had my second daughter. Another emergency c section due to preclampsia. Now I'm 40 and having to go through another high risk pregnancy. It has me anxious, stressed, scared. Hands down it's already the hardest I've been through and I'm only roughly 9 weeks.
Anyway, thanks for letting me rant
Due date: April 28, like someone else on here I am expecting that to move at my 8 week ultrasound
How you found out: I had removed my IUD a month earlier (had my first baby in December last year) and was feeling really tired and nauseous. It say it was a shock is an understatement. It took us 14months and clomid to get pregnant with my first so getting pregnant this quickly was definitely not part of the plan but I’m ready to get it over with lol.
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
I have an 8 month baby, 2 dogs, and a less them sympathetic husband while I am pregnant- what can go wrong?
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? Super exhausted, really nauseous, and nothing sounds good so food wise just struggling. I am stressed because I struggled with my last pregnancy (migraines, sciatica, back pain, heart burn, etc.) and I am dreading going through it again
Due date: April 30th
How you found out: we did IVF so I tested the day before my first beta after the entire TWW
Tell us about yourself: (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) No kids, one 15 y.o. Bichon-poodle who bosses me around. Operations Manager for a financial software company. My husband and I have been together for 11 years, married almost 4. I like to craft, bake, and cook.
How are you feeling: (Physical symptoms, emotionally)? Scared! I’m so anxious about something going wrong after already going through the IVF process. I’m also 37 and this is the first time I’ve ever been pregnant. Physically, I’m a little nauseous and very tired. Still doing PIO injections too so I’m a bit sore!
