My Ovulation Chart
Today is 15 DPO and I'm still pregnant, so I'm 4 weeks and 1 day. I'm due June 12! I already scheduled my first OBGYN appointment for the 8th week. Hope my baby holds on tight! This was our third cycle trying and we swayed blue. I'm hoping to get a blood test to determine gender so we will find out sooner.
I hope others join me soon :)
Hi! :) BFP on my third cycle swaying for a girl after 4 boys. Due June 14 :)
Hi im expecting baby number 5 think my due date is around 2nd June, I have an early scan next Saturday hoping to see a little bean with a heartbeat ...we have 4 sons praying this is our girl x
Congratulations ladies! So happy to see more joining this DD thread. I am not prego yet but I am determined to join you soon so I am keeping watch of all your journeys. So happy for your BFPs!!!!!
Hello Ladies,
I've done 3 tests in 2 days, all faint positives.
Today is when AF is due, and I'm feeling pulling and cramping.
Also had what i think might be a Cyst bursting (so painful).
I am really hoping this little bean sticks, swayed Pink, but really don't mind anymore.
My due date would be 19th June and will be our first baby.
I think I will test again on Friday, and depending on the outcome join this thread officially :)
Hi everyone! I'm very excited to be here! I got my bfp last Friday and the line has been getting stronger since then. I've been ttc for 6 months and had a CP in June so I'm really hoping this bean sticks. I swayed girl and I'll find out with a blood test so I'll know early. I'll be okay either way, I feel like we gave it our best shot so if its DS3 he really really wants to be here.

This is baby #1 for me so I apologize in advance if I ask too many questions. Trying to figure out a cute way to tell hubby.
How exciting for u!! Don't see many here on their 1st babies x your whole world is about to change! And it will be amazing xxxQuote:

It's baby #1 for me too, and I have a feeling it's going to be a learning curve lol
Yeah Sparkles, I thought it was baby #1 for you too but wasn't sure. Amelia is also having baby #1. It is rare to find ladies swaying and TTC baby #1 on this site and now all three of us are here together due in June. That is pretty special.
I feel much better knowing we will all probably have similar concerns and have an awesome group of experienced moms to guide us. Excited to see what other ladies join. So far October has been much more fruitful than the September 2WW group was so I have high hopes for many more BFPs.

Can you believe I actually said to DH yesterday "Oh look at that baby sling. We should get that and not a stroller"
He was like "Think about what you're saying....babies get heavy real quick"
It was a Duh moment for sure, and I think I will have many more
Girliecat I'm going to try your trick and post in here lol!!
Congratulations ladies!! Hoping very much to join you all very soon 😀
(Please work 🙏 😂)

My due date is June 22 too Girliecat, we'll be due date buddies! My boys were right on their due dates. I'm sort of hoping this one comes a little early!

Ladies, I was just daydreaming about how cute our little ones are going to look !
Summer Outfits yay
Pbn3- you had me literally laughing out loud. I hope it works for you too!
Inforthree glad we are DD buddies! Earlier would be my preference too for bday reasons.
Hubby and I were talking before my BFP that it would be great to get pregnant this cycle with a DD in June because we just bought a house last year with a pool and June pool parties for kids birthday will be fun and easy as they get older.
Our family which is pretty big with siblings aunts uncles ect do not have a single birthday in June! Can't wait for a baby at my fav time of year!Quote:

Sparkles, I have lots of bloating and tightness and cramps all day so I feel "blah" which makes me not very hungry. Could only eat half my dinner last night. No nausea.
Anyone else retesting just to make sure you still get a positive? My first BFP was in the evening so I tested next morning just to be sure, but I am having trouble convincing myself not to test again or at least wait a few days. I think I still can't believe it is positive or that it will stick. Technically I haven't even missed my regular period yet based off my normal 35 day cycle but because I O'd early my cycle wouldn't have been that long this time (probably would have been 30-31 days if not positive). I got my first bfp on cd27, which at best guess was 11dpo and I am on cd30 today or 14dpo.
I booked my first appointment Nov 29, I think I'll get the nipt blood draw then. My midwives don't do early appointments so it's always a long wait. I had my sons at home and am planning to do it again. Anyone else planning to have a midwife?

Hello Ladies!
I am due around the 22nd of June! This was our 2nd attempt and we were swaying blue. Confirmed my pregnancy test Wednesday at the hospital and I have 'orientation' apt on the 4th of Nov with an OB nurse. It's how the Army does it... even after 4 kiddos.
... So far pregnancy wise, tired, lower back aches, and starving!!! I am craving protein-beef jerky and I'm only 4 weeks pregnant!
Good luck to everyone!
Im in UK so midwifes are standard here! I had a home birth for my 4th, will probably for this baby too xQuote:

I'm 31, hubby is almost 40, and we have one son (will be 2 years old early next year). This was our second cycle swaying pink. I got my first (faint) BFP at 9 dpo. Today is 11 dpo and the tests have darkened - so as scared as I am of a chemical, being that it's so early, here I am! And here's hoping I get to stay. If this one sticks, my due date will end up around June 27th.
If any of you first-timers swaying pink end up getting blue, and need someone to talk to, I want you to know I'm here. I always thought I wanted a girl, so for our first, we did a half-assed Shettles sway that obviously failed. I had SEVERE GD when we found out he was a boy...more severe than I can describe. But I am now so, so, so glad he was a boy - he is the absolute best thing that's ever happened to me. I thought I didn't want a boy because a) I didn't have any brothers, so I was clueless about raising a boy, and b) neither I nor my husband are into boyish stuff like sports, etc. But my little boy has taught me so much, and I should never have worried at all. He's a quiet, observant little thinker who loves to read, snuggle, and give kisses. I'd like to think that if we end up with another boy, I'll be far less disappointed than I was with my first, simply because I now understand how incredible it is to have a son. But we swayed girl because I do still have the desire for a daughter. I'd be happy with just one girl, and then will probably want another boy after that! Anyway, I have intimate experience with FTM-GD, so I'm here if anyone ends up needing to talk through that.
Inforthree, I'll be going back to my midwife group! I had such a good experience with my first - well, good experience with the care, NOT with the labor/birth, which was a 48-hour nightmare! But I strongly believe that if I hadn't been with midwives, I would have ended up with a c-section. Thankfully was able to birth vaginally; hoping for the same again.
I think that about covers it. Hi, ladies! Fingers crossed I get to stay here.

Congratulations Blckheart ! Hope you get your lil girl.
All*Blue*Everything Please update us all tomorrow, best wishes and hope you get to see your lil bean nice and clearly
Infoforthree I am bypassing the Midwife this time which sucks as I really liked her (had an ectopic last time, but met the Midwife, she was so nice)
Yeah Bre! Inforthree is the 22nd too. How fun to share that date with both of you!Quote:

Welcome Blckheart. Those test are much darker than the first two you posted. I think you should feel really good about that. I am happy we are on this journey together!
I literally know nothing about midwives or how to use them or if I should use one. Hubby has already said no home birth, but I think I am okay with that. If you do midwife do you not go to your OBGYN? I am in the USA so I am not sure if it is different in different countries.
So happy to hear others kept testing too. I used a clear blue this morning and it was a very dark positive within less than a minute which made me feel a lot better. My doc doesn't do first real visits till after 8 weeks but he did want me to come in before that for confirmation and blood work since I was supposed to be on progesterone after O, but since I never knew when I Oed I didn't start it. I am still on the Metformin and I think I stay on that for the first trimester. Now that this mornings clear blue was such a great positive I am going to tell hubby tonight...I know, I know...amazing that I haven't told him yet but I just needed to be sure and I planned a cute little something for him and work schedules didn't allow me time to do it until tonight.
Thank you! I'm so excited for us too!
I'm the U.S. My midwife group is independent but is associated to an OB group at the same hospital, so in extreme cases patients can be moved there if need be.
Everyone is different but I personally would never do a first birth at home. There are way too many unknowns. Midwife + hospital was the perfect combo for me. I labored naturally (back labor, at that!) for 40 friggin hours and was still at just 5cm. (Shudder.) So I literally HAD to have an epi+pitocin because my endurance was shot. That combo worked within hours so by the time I was 10cm at 47 hours in, the epic had worn off. Pushed a little under an hour and there he was!
If I hadn't been with midwives, I'm sure they would've sectioned me at 24 hours (since my labor started with my water breaking), when I was barely 2-3cm.
So as excruciating as it was, I am ever thankful I was able to give birth vaginally!
I won't have my first midwife visit till closer to 10 weeks, but I'm hoping to get in with my GP next week for a blood draw to test hcg and progesterone.
Woah that sounds super intense.Quote:

Kind of glad they found about this before I tried to have some super natural birth at home.
Luckily when the epi wore off there was only one hour left...it was the 40 hours BEFORE the epi that nearly killed me, lol! I'm just really, really hoping it's true that second labors are far shorter!
Oh wow! We'll you're right, it is definitely much better to know well in advance that that's how your birth will need to be. And planned C-sections are far safer and smoother than emergency ones!
