Jenn- Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! OMG I am SO excited for you!! and !! I can't believe you're already 18 weeks!! You're already out of the first trimester and could find out what you're having almost right away!! (Do you plan to know or have it be a surprise?) This is so crazy - I told you I have had a really good feeling about the past few "cycles" ! Do they know why you've still been getting af?? OMG I am seriously just so excited for you!!! Come over to cmp and join the byob thread there too!! Did you get u/s photos?? LoL, sorry lots of questions I know I am just SO happy and excited for you!!!!

I just posted on the last thread, but I guess I will start again on this one.

Intro:
My name is Jessica. Both DH and I are 30. We've been TTC #1 since Sept 2010.

Got pregnant Nov 2010, but lost our little girl at 18 weeks to a Neural Tube Defect. Had a D&C and had to wait 3 months to ttc again.

Got pregnant July 2011, but lost another little girl to another NTD at 17 weeks. Had a D&C and was told to wait another 3 months before ttc again.

Got pregnant April 2012, but lost that baby to an early miscarriage at 5 weeks, naturally. Doctor told us to wait at least 2 cycles, but we decided to try right away as we were tired of waiting.

I am currently 7 or 8 dpo on my first cycle after the m/c. No symptoms yet, but still hopeful.

Hi Im Jenn, Im 25 and so is DH. I have a 5 year old daughter from a previous pregnancy and found out on Saturday Im actually 18 weeks pregnant!!! so weird to say that! haha

Joy: I have been asking all the questions too!!! I cant believe Im 18 weeks and didnt even think to test! I just assumed that I got AF on time each month so Im not pregnant. I have noticed that AF has been a bit lighter but I just figured cycles change! We have always said that we arent going to find out what the baby is... 9 months isnt that long to wait for the suprise!! haha. I have only been able to talk to the dr at the hospital and all he said was, some women continue to get it their whole pregnancy and I need to discuss with my dr (have an appointment tomorrow so Ill definately be asking ALOT of questions!!) As for pictures, she told me that they are the emergency ultrasounds in the hospital and arent equipped to give me a picture, so Ill have to wait for a real ultrasound :'( Ill definately be over to CMP!!

Hi ladies!

Jenn - That sucks that you didnt get any photos, but I am sure at 18 weeks they will probably be sending you for an u/s soon anyway! I am assuming tomorrow's dr visit will be a busy one, lots of tests to do and everything to catch up on! So exciting!! I can't wait to hear all about it!
It was seriously such a good thing I was home alone when I read your reply about finding out you were preggo... I actually shrieked!! LoL! (And then continued to bounce around a do a little dance! LoL!) Super excited for you!!

Jess - Can't wait for Sunday for you to test!! They say after a m/c you are extra fertile for a few months... hopefully it's true and you get your bfp this cycle & an extra sticky little bean!

AFM - Nothing new since I posted like half an hour ago.... lol Staying home this afternoon with another sick little nephew. Fun, fun!

Hello! Im Amber and new to this website. I found this thread from the previous one, and couldn't stop reading! Im 27 and my DH is 29. We have been together for 7 years and married since May 2010. We spent our first 13 months married apart. He got back from Iraq in September and after recovering from an injury we have been TTC since last month.

Last month I was 100% sure I was preggers. I had all kinds of crazy symptoms (now Im thinking that they were all in my head)! I was super fatigued and had a headache that wouldn't go away.

Anyway the AF arrived and it was a torturous one at that. Now Im on month #2 of ttc and I am currently 9 dpo. This time the only thing different I notice is a little fatigue, restlessness at night, viivd dreams and the last two days I had crazy sharp stabbing pains around my left ovary. Now those are gone. Im still hoping for a ! I'll keep posting.

Thank you Joy for sharing your news. Im especially excited for Jenn! That's crazy good news .

Jenn!!! That's amazing!! It's the kind of story you hear on tlc!! I love it! Can't believe it! Congrats! May the rest of your pregnancy be as smooth!

I love this thread!

Hi, I'm Lindsay (28) and DH (29) and we live in Texas with our 2 dogs, a Westie and a Miniature Schnauzer. We have been ttc casually since summer 2011 and aggressively since February 2012! Got pg in November but it was ectopic and I lost a tube so now determined with a capitol D to get pg again! But they say your chances don't go down too much, and I am having all the signs of ovulating so I'm staying positive!

Today is CD 14 and I have had positive OPKs since Monday. We Sunday night and this morning, didn't yesterday as we had a scare that we were gonna lose our income (we own a business) and for a couple crazy hours I had myself convinced that we should stop ttc due to our possible loss of income. Then I thought about it, realized that life is too short and you can't wait for the perfect time, and we got back into the swing of things this morning. For those few hours though it was so nice not to think about it anymore!

Still very wet today so I don't think I have ovulated yet. Another poster said I should count ovulation as the day my cm switches to dry and sticky, so that's what I'm waiting for. Plan to do some more tonight and increase our chances.

Welcome to all the new posters!

Hi everyone

I'm 24 and so is my Husband.
I work in a labratory and DH is self employed.

We have NTNP and gone on to TTC and it's been over 3yrs now and no baby I was pregnant a year ago but had a Missed Miscarriage.

I'm just starting infertility tests and my cycles are irregular & long.
I think I'll be ovulating some time in the next week

to all

Hello all. My name is Linda and I'm Toronto Canada. I am married to by best friend and we are both 39. I will be 40 next week...OMG. I just had my tubal ligation reversed on March 28th of this year and only have one tube. I have been on clomid for this cycle and currently have 2 mature follicles just waiting to explode.

I have 3 children from a previous marriage, DS~21,DS~20 and DD~16. My husband has DS~9. We are so looking for our own little miracle.

Good luck to all you ladies. May will be our month for blessings

Hey Ladies!!
Congrats to those of you that found out you are preggo and could luck to all of us ttc!

I am a stay at home mom to my 18 month old little girl. My DH is 31 and I am 27. We will be married for three years this July! We have been casually trying since January 2012, and actively tring ( opk, temp) since March. I know this is not a long time, but it seems like forever as we concieved my little girl the first month! Trying to stay positive!!!

I am about 2-3 days past ovulation. I ovulated almost a week late this cycle! Keeping my fingers crossed and saying lots of prayers!!
