Roll Call:

How far along are you? 4 weeks 1 day

What’s your estimated due date: 3/2

How many cycles trying? This was our 7th!

When did you get your BFP? Father’s Day! 6/19

Post a picture of your first BFP if you want! image24

Who have you told? Only Darling Husband

When do you plan on telling more people? Well, we were really hoping to wait to tell family until after we see the doctor and do a sonogram, but we’re going camping with my family in 2 weeks and I really want to tell my sister (who lives in CA now, I’m in MD) in person, so we’re going to tell her and my Brother-In-Law but ask that they keep it a secret until we see the dr. Telling our parents after we see the dr at 8 weeks and the rest of the world probably around 10-12 weeks.

How did you tell your partner? Darling Husband and I like rival baseballs teams and joke about who is gonna “win” our kids over to their team, so I got this onesie and gave it to him on Father’s Day right after I got the BFP!

Any symptoms yet? Not really — some headaches, some fatigue, some cramping and minor nausea here and there — all things that would happen during the TWW in the past and I’d convince myself I was pregnant but wasn’t. The only thing that does seem out of the ordinary for me is my libido has taken a complete nosedive — I feel bad because of course finding out I’m pregnant seems to have made DH’s libido skyrocket!

What are you most excited about/for? Feeling my baby kick. Seeing what features our baby gets from each of us — Darling Husband has the most beautiful blue eyes and his daughter has them too, so I’m hoping this baby gets them as well!

When is your first appt? Ugh, not until July 28 when I’m 8 weeks and that’s only with the nurse to do blood tests and whatnot. I did send a message expressing some paranoia I have due to a CP a couple months ago, so she said she’d try to do an in-office sonogram when I see her to give me some reassurance.

For fun – Will you be finding out the gender or being team green? We are team green! We love surprises and feel like it’s the ultimate surprise in life!

Yay thank you for starting this!!

Roll Call:

How far along are you? I am 3 weeks and 6 days

What’s your estimated due date: March 4, 2017

How many cycles trying? First cycle off BCP

When did you get your BFP? Got a super squinter on 8DPO and a clearer squinter on 10dpo LOL

Post a picture of your first BFP if you want!

Who have you told? I’ve told Darling Husband, both sets of parents and it’s inevitable that people at work will know because I got my betas tested there LOL.

When do you plan on telling more people? I plan on actually making an announcement later on in the pregnancy, closer to 12 wks.

How did you tell your partner? While he was getting ready for work, I shoved the pregnancy test in his face LOL!!

Any symptoms yet? LOTS. Nausea, cramping, fatigue, gassy are some of the main ones.

What are you most excited about/for? Feeling movement again from the baby. That was what I missed most about being pregnant with my Dear Daughter and I can’t wait to feel it again.

When is your first appt? I’m most likely gonna do my US during my 7 week as that’s when our patients do their first check.

For fun – Will you be finding out the gender or being team green? Definitely finding out!! I found out with  my Dear Daughter and for me, it helped me bond with her because I could call her by her name while she was still in the womb.

Hi Ladies! 

Roll Call:

How far along are you? The apps tell me 3 weeks 4 days

What’s your estimated due date: March 6

How many cycles trying? NTNP 4 cycles…or it might be 5

When did you get your BFP? Yesterday morning I got an inconclusive one, and then two back to backs responded more quickly last night. 

Post a picture of your first BFP if you want!

Who have you told? My husband, my two sisters, my 22 month old son (haha!) and I have a group of girls who have become some of my closest friends – we met on here when we were all pregnant with August 2014 babies and have a FB group where we chat all day long haha. So they know as well. 

When do you plan on telling more people? Probably best girlfriends/parents after our first hopefully good scan where we see the heartbeat. Rest of the world after the first trimester is over. 

How did you tell your partner? It’s awful. I wanted to tell my sisters and my August 2014 moms group but my husband was out at the bar for the first time in practically forever. I knew I had to tell him first, so I called him and asked him to step away from his friends so I could share the news. 

Any symptoms yet? Bloating and super gassy. 

What are you most excited about/for? Right now, it’s just for my son to be a big brother. I haven’t really connected the dots or the fact that this pregnancy is happening, let alone begun to connect with the baby. 

When is your first appt? I haven’t set it yet, but my OBGYN doesn’t usually schedule them until 8 weeks…mine will be 8 weeks on the dot then! 

For fun – Will you be finding out the gender or being team green? We were team green for my son and it was THE BEST DECISION (for us) ever. We loved every single freaking bit of it. But for this one, we’re going to find out!

The bottom I took in the morning at 10DPO. It was stark white at 5 minutes so I threw it out and then fished it out of the trash and saw a faint line. I tested again twice last night and the line appeared more quickly – the top two.

jessc27:  O boy! First, congratulations! I’m worried about MC and I haven’t had the sad experiences you have, so I can only imagine how you feel given that. I’m sending both of us all the sticky baby dust and prayers I can! We’re due a day apart.

kate02121:  good lines on your ic’s. You will get a positive clear blue weeks estimator with lines like that and there is nothing like seeing the words “pregnant”
