Hi Everyone!
So I'm a regular on another board and occasional poster and lurker on many others. Maybe you'll be able to figure out who I am but I don't want to come out yet under my usual SN because there are people I know IRL who read the boards. Anyway, I'm pretty surprised to be here. I am proof that you *can* conceive a baby while only having sex 5 days prior to ovulation! Oh well, this is a happy surprise even though I'll have to avoid drinking beer on our fantastic and amazing beer-drinking vacation next month.
Got my BFP on Saturday morning after two days of no period and then confirmed with non-Wondfo sticks yesterday. This will be my first baby and I'm due on September 19th.
I've already signed up to hang out on my Bump BMB but those bitches be crazy. I feel weird for not feeling any symptoms (minus breast tenderness and right this minute, some pain in my lower back but not too bad), and yet they've all got horrible symptoms like whoa 5 minutes after peeing on sticks. So I decided that I need to hang out here too for some sanity.
Anyway, I'm worried about my chances of a miscarriage since I was told several months ago that I have a clotting disorder, so I'm just trying to remain optimistic, do what my doctor says (one baby aspirin every day) and just take it day by day. I figure that is all I can do at this point.
And about The Bump, yeah... they either have ALL the symptoms 3 seconds after sperm meets egg or they have no symptoms and are freakin' the fuck out. It's endlessly entertaining.
And even when they DO get symptoms, it's not enough. Like unless they have 24/7 morning sickness, there MUST be something wrong. I didn't have morning sickness. And morning sickness doesn't guarantee a successful pregnancy. Those people kill me!
Hi! I'm new too. This is a different screen name than normal too because I don't want the world to know I'm pregnant yet! Thank you for posting though, it made me feel more comfortable posting. I thnk I'll introduce myself as well.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
I am not a SLP, I just like phonetics.
I did noticed my BMB has a lot of women with young babies already. Whatever floats your boat, but damn, I already know we will be waiting at least 2 years after this one is born if all goes well.
Congrats polished, how exciting to share a due date with someone else who's incognito for now.
