April BFP bunnies

Hey everyone! All of us who had our long awaited BFPs in April and May 2008, lets start a buddy thread. It doesnt matter if we are due in Dec or Jan (or Nov for that matter as right now with trips, my due date would be in Nov!), what matters is that we can share this incredible journey to motherhood together!!
Heres to a happy and healthy 7/8/9 months!
A big non-alcoholic cheers

Hey Ritu...thanks for starting the April bunnies due date thread. It will be great to hear all about everyone's pregnancy highs and lows
Ritu, since your due date will probably be months before everyone elses due to having triplets, you can let us know all about the birthing process

Hi!!

Hey girls....I would love to join in! I just got my BFP this week....according to the nurse my due date is January 9th. I am cautiously optimistic, I had a miscarriage last year and now my progesterone was pretty low. I get my blood work done again next Tuesday and the RE put me on progesterone suppositories at bedtime. I am just praying this little bean is ok. Any of you start out with low progesterone or have any words of wisdom for me? My level was 8.3, and they said they like to see over 15. I did however have a great hcg level of 708! It was about 17 days past ovulation when they tested me, I had just taken a month off and was going au natural when I got my BFP! It was such a surprise and miracle! Looking forward to getting to know all of you!!

Holly
