Intro - loss mentioned

[Foxy]

Hi!
:Waves to self and any future Jan/Feb ladies:

I'm a FTM who just joined HIH. I was invited over here from TB where I was in TTGP the last 9 months and spent half a cycle over here. I realize I just became that bitch that shows up in ttgp and gets a BFP and leaves. I promise you though it was not an easy journey to get here.

Back on Nov 20th of last year (the date is forever burned into my memory) at 9 weeks I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy that was missed at my first U/S the previous week. I had a heard and saw a heart beat (161) and was sent home with pictures of my future LO, which is why it was so shocking to find out I needed to be rushed into surgery. My left tube and LO were removed right before Thanksgiving and I can tell you I was neither happy nor thankful.

I have told my story so many times I could do it in my sleep at this point. I'm glad I have though because I've gotten pms from ladies saying that because I did they recognized something wasn't right and it was caught early.

I've pretty much been filled with anxiety ever since. Wondering if I would ever see another BFP or get a take home baby.

So. .. I was beyond happy to see a BFP over the weekend. I have to still get a U/S to make sure Little bean implanted in my ute but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and any good vibes you want to send me I will take.

I'm 33 my H is 36, we have been together 4 years, married in July. We have the two cutest doxies and live in Oregon. I'm looking forward to connecting with other mom's as I have no idea what I'm doing and everyone I've met so far has been really cool.

TL:DR - FTM from Oregon who had a previous ectopic. EDD is January 5th.

Hello! Congratulations! Sorry for your loss in November. That sounds awful 😞

I’ve been semi-stalking this to see if the board had been opened yet. I was active on TB with my first two kiddos and went to the other board with my last pregnancy.

I found out late last week that we are expecting our fourth baby. This has been a shock and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. We have a 5 y/o girl (dec), 3 y/o boy (Jan), and 1 y/o girl (march).

I did have a m/c after my son that was eerily similar to this timing (first PP cycle when he had just turned one), so I’m having betas drawn. First one was over 600 and I’ll have the next one drawn tomorrow.

I hope to be an active participant, but will likely just be able to catch up early in the morning (EST) and after the kids are in bed!

EDD based solely on cycle tracking (no temping): January 4th (DS bday is Jan 5)!

ETA: second beta was 1400 so it looks like I’ll be around here for awhile!

muskiefan hi!!! Welcome! I'm glad I'm not the lone wolf anymore. Congrats! Let's keep our fingers crossed for sticky little beans.

Is this the official intro thread?? I'm just gonna say yes? 

36yo STM+ I have two live children and three angels. DD is 7 and DS is almost 5. I had two of my losses last year so we actually weren't really trying anymore. We weren't preventing but I needed time to heal so I wasn't tracking or focusing on our window. I'm still reeling because of all the anxiety that comes with pgal brain. I was on TB for years and I joined the "other" PB board during my pregnancy last spring. 
So for this baby I am due on 1/10 so per LMP it would be 4w5d. But really I know our conception date so I'm only 4w2d and due on 1/13. I saw the nurse yesterday to have progesterone started and betas drawn. So at 16dpc my number is 25. Not great but not bad. Fingers crossed for tomorrows number. I need to see it double. For real but that again is pgal brain. 
Anyway, I'm cautiously optimistic and I hope I'm here for a long time.

Hi J/F 19 😳😳

This will be my third and likely last baby. I’m going to really try to soak it all in. I have a 3 and a 1 year old-2 boys.

Hi all!

I just got my 3rd beta back which looked really good so I'm feeling more confident about posting. I'm a third time mom and due Jan 27th. I have a 4 year-old son and a 2 year-old (3 this weekend!) daughter. I'm excited to get to know everyone.
