Intro!

Hi Ladies!

I'm so excited to finally get to post over here. I was an infrequent poster/occasional lurker over on GP for about 3 years. We got our BFP last week, and I've been praying for some good beta's to come back. So far all looks good, so I decided to post here!

I'd love to join you all. Here is a little more about me. DH and I married in August of 2010, and decided to start trying for kids about a year later. A year after that we found out we had MFI, and he had surgery to try and correct. It improved his numbers but we still didn't get pregnant on our own. We went to an RE and the BFP is the result of our first IUI!

It seems a little surreal still, but we are both so excited. I'd love it if y'all could recommend some of your favorite pregnancy books or blogs that you follow. I'm about to go nuts reading any and everything. Thanks!

Re: Intro!

  • Congratulations!!!  Welcome!  I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!  :)

    Personally, I was a big fan of Your Pregnancy: Week by Week (Link Here)  What to Expect When You're Expecting was kind of meh for me.

    I'd also recommend checking out some different pregnancy apps.  Honestly, instead of buying What to Expect, you could always download the app and get the same info.

  • Congrats and welcome!
    Personally, what to expect when you're expecting was just fine for me, but there's many other good ones.
  • So happy to see you over here!  I used What to Expect and one that @madeline10L gave me.  I can't remember the name, but I think it was Your Pregnancy Week by Week?  I'd be happy to give them to you if you want!

  • Welcome and congrats!  What's your due date?

    I'm reading The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy and it's ok; some things she says I kind of side eye, but it's a good read when you're bored.  As for apps, I use I'm Expecting and I like it better than others I tried out in the beginning.

  • We're due 7/22. Which is 3 weeks after my birthday, 1 week after DH's, and 1 day after MIL's, and 1.5 weeks before FIL's birthday. So there is a chance we could have a double birthday, but at the very least, we will have another one right in the mix!

    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
