How about one thread for everyone that comes in in the next two months. Tell us about yourself and how you came to be pregnant and how excited or worried or scared you are.
Or if you really want your own thread you're welcome to make one. 😄

Hello! I was going to hold off posting since I'm barely pregnant, but I'm having typical first tri anxiety and thought it might be good for support. I think I'm due March 16th-ish. My SS is 11 and my DS turned 2 in May. We've been TTC since last August.
I'm happy but nervous about SAH with two little ones. My first year with DS was rough depression and anxiety wise. I have no help or support outside of mh really, so I'm hoping things will be different this time. I don't want to wish away the summer, but am looking forward to being further along and more sure everything will progress fine.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 9 months.

Oh hi, I guess I didn't really intro...
Hi, I'm whatsit. I am a TB and TCF transitioner. I haven't been as active the last month because life happened (hence the noob status).
I have a 20 month old son who is a busy little lad. I live in Canada, and..... well. Don't know what else to say at the moment. Excited to get to know you all!

I thought I'd post my intro right away when I started this thread but then I kept getting distracted. Anyway, I just turned 25, DH is 30. He just finished nursing school and is back to working full time on his/brother's construction crew but will start working night shift at the hospital at the end of the summer and I just quit a part-time job to SAH(I make a few things to sell also). We've been married for 5 years the middle of August and never really had the talk about were we ready for a baby. He started schooling a year after we got married and we agreed it was best to wait till he graduated, so by almost 5 yrs later we were definitely as ready as we'll ever be. Partial XP from GKU: After a bfn Friday morning, we went on vacation and got back last night. I decided since FF said AF was due yesterday to test this morning. Trying not to be too hopeful I'd half convinced myself I would be getting a few more cycles of negatives. But i got a positive on a wondfo then also took an Accu Home pregnancy test, also positive. I did a lot of walking around saying "no way!" "No WAY!" "Wut?" No. Way." Which is funny because I never say "no way". Cycle/Month: 4 total with some tta in between CD/DPO: 29/15 EDD: 3/14/2018 What we did: my temping was wacky but we ended up hitting -3, -2, -1 and O! Also the first cycle we used preseed. Symptoms: just emotions. We were in Gettysburg for the reenactment over the weekend and we heard so many sad stories and so many brave things that were done and I CRIED SO FREAKING MUCH!!! I was a complete waterworks. How I told DH: I had a dad shirt and a dad mug that I gave him with the positive hpt. I never get reactions out of him, but he had a goofy smile on his face for quite a while so I know he's excited also.
We also have a dog and live on an acreage in the country in the NY Fingerlakes area. We can see a tiny bit of the lake from our house! I like to read and run or work out, but for some reason my brain calls them extras and I don't always take the time. I like all crafting and creating and decorating, so will be having the time of my life getting ready a nursery and wardrobe for baby!
PS. I tend to type really long posts. Sorreh

Oh look. There are people here to play with!! I should intro now. I have been feeling a little misplaced.
I am pregnant!! As of today I am 5 weeks and 6 days... According to Ovia baby's heart has probably started beating!! I have my first US on Monday and I am praying praying praying that we see the heartbeat. EDD is March 2nd. I have had early losses and one blighted ovum/anembryonic so seeing a heartbeat would be a humongous milestone!
DH and I have been married for 5 years this October. We have been trying for about 22 months and with the RE since January of this year. This baby was conceived with TI on our second cycle using femara and ovidrel.
We love doing things outdoors; bike riding, kayaking, camping, playing with our dogs. I have a garden that I am pretty obsessed with this year.
I am looking forward to getting to know you guys and hopefully sticking around for the long haul.

Hi, I'm cabbage and my due date is 3/11 Tw: losses mentioned This was our first cycle trying after a mmc at 9 weeks in march due to trisomy 9. I have a 21 month old dd who was conceived after 2 prior losses. We just met with an RE and were going to start some testing next cycle, but i am happily here instead. I had betas this week and they doubled in 33 hours, so fx! Congratulations everyone!

Hopefully I can stick with March. Haha. Ahhh!!! Congrats nugget!! So happy to see you here! Fwiw- In My last bmb (N15) I originally thought I was due Nov 3 but they ended up changing it to Oct 29. I stayed in N15 because I had already gotten to know the ladies there. A bunch of us ended up having Oct babies anyway. I mean, in this format check ins will be hard when some are still in first trip while others have moved on to second but after little are here it will be a great support.
