I've always wanted to be the one to start one of these!
I got a bfp this morning at 9dpo. I had 2 D&Cs this past year...the last one on July 20th. This was our first cycle trying again so I'm both shocked and thrilled as it took 8 and 9 cycles respectively to conceive our 2 losses.
I have an almost 5 year old DD who took 4 cycles to conceive.
I'm introing early because I want to enjoy being on a BMB as long as I can (since the last 2 stays were only a few months each).
Anyways, EDD is July 4th based on LMP or July 2nd based off O...but I'll be delivering in June via RCS if I get that far.
Oh...I'm in Canada and am a high school teacher:)
I'm hoping I get to stay here and hoping to see many more people joining here soon!

Thanks Tlex ! I'm glad it happened so quickly. I'm just freaking our now in anticipation of the first US. I'm trying to calm myself down but I can already see myself having a breakdown in the waiting room when the time comes:/

Thanks Tlex ! I'm glad it happened so quickly. I'm just freaking our now in anticipation of the first US. I'm trying to calm myself down but I can already see myself having a breakdown in the waiting room when the time comes:/ I made it to laying down on the table before I had a full ugly crying meltdown... my tech was so sweet and said it happens all the time and they know some people have experience with bad news. Just remember if you do lose it, it’s not going to hurt anyone, it’s just feelings and emotions and they’re going to come out sometimes. I wish I could say something to make it easier but I don’t know what that would be. I do know that hope doesn’t make bad things happen. ❤️

Thanks Tlex I know it's out of my hands at this point. I'm not even going to tell SO about the first us whenever it happens to be. I can keep it together if I'm by myself but seeing his face makes it worse. I am actually feeling pretty confident about this one. But I also don't want to feel confident and then get bad new again...if that makes sense. I'm trying to remain hopeful...but neutral...until I see a heartbeat.

I'm trying to calm myself down but I can already see myself having a breakdown in the waiting room when the time comes:/ Also lurking. I cried at every RE appointment. 6, 8 and 10 weeks. When all looked good at 10 weeks my crying made the ultrasound tech join me in crying. I was a mess. It's normal. ❤❤❤

Hello! I've been lurking off an on for a couple of months now and figured I would tip toe into a BMB. I didn't really participate much in my BMB back on TB when I was pregnant before, so I am looking forward to having the camaraderie this time!
My EDD is 7/5. I had a miscarriage in August, so my emotions have been a little all over the place since my BFP.
I have a 5 year old boy and he has been begging me quite a while for a new baby brother or sister, so I can't wait to tell him.

rachacha Yay! Congratulations!!! I'm so excited to finally have someone else here with me:) It sounds like we have similar circumstances. I had a MMC this past July and my DD will be 5 in January. Our EDDs ate also only one day apart:) My DD very adamantly does NOT want a sibling though so I'm going to have my work cut out for me. It's been her and I as a team for such a long time (SO works in a different city so hasn't lived with us since DD was around 11 months old) and she says all the time that it's just "M and Mommy" and she is very vocal about not wanting anyone to change that dynamic. I'm hoping she comes around once baby is here.

sammysam, thank you! Congratulations to you as well! I was worried about such a large age gap, but then remembered that my brother is 6+ years older than me and we have a great relationship. I'm sure he probably wasn't super excited to have me come along (and my younger sister two years after that) and mess up our family dynamic, but I think he must have gotten over it. I hope your DD comes around to having a sibling. Have you told her yet?

rachacha Not yet. I'm waiting as long as humanly possibe before I tell her. I need at least one good US to feel comfortable and then I'll wait at least until after genetic testing and AS. She'll probably figure it out before I tell her:) How about you?

sammysam, no I have not told him yet. Right now, SO is the only other person that knows. Like you, I want to have an US before telling anyone. After that, we plan to tell DS and our parents.

Hi! I'm joining too! I got a bfp a few days ago, and my EDD is July 7. We've been TTC for 2 years, and went through fertility testing at the beginning of this year. I did 3 cycles on Clomid followed by 3 cycles on Letrozole. This is my first cycle without meds, while we were waiting for our RE appointment in December. Totally unexpected, but we are thrilled. I have a 4yo DS, who will be so thrilled to have a sibling. He will absolutely walk up to complete strangers and tell them all about it, so we're going to wait to share the news with him until we're ready for the whole world to know

Hello All! I have been around in the past but it's been over a year since I posted. I've lurked on and off. We have been TTC for a 3rd since early 2017. I finally received a dx of PCOS this past spring and have taken several steps to deal with it. I got my BFP last week at only 9dpo. I did betas over the weekend and my OB/GYN confirmed the pregnancy yesterday. Woohoo!!!! My EDD is July 15th.
We have a 5 yr old girl and 3 yr old boy. They already keep me busy and I have no idea how I'm going to handle the chaos of 3 but I'm so excited about it.

Hi Everyone! I think I’m finally ready to jump in. My H and I have been trying to conceive for over 5 years. We have had a long infertility battle and saved for years for IVF since we knew we would be 100% OOP. Our first fresh transfer failed but we had a FET on October 29 and it seems to be sticking. I had some spotting 11/8 so I thought I was out. I had my beta test on 11/9 and was shocked when it came out positive. I cried uncontrollably actually. I had betas again Friday and again today. I’m doubling each time so my RE officially called me pregnant today. EED is 7/17/19 which is also my grandmothers birthday so I feel like that’s good luck. I’m still nervous that something bad will happen but I’m also incredibly happy to be here.
