Hopefully I'll be in another '11 due date club. Good luck to all of you ladies!

I'm so sorry I miscarried back in February when I was 6 weeks along. Take good care of yourself, and here's hoping that next time around you get a super sticky little one!

Woo-hoo!!!! just got my bfp this morning. Haven't even told DH yet!

* EDD: 1/2/11
* Age: 33
* State or Country: California
* How long it took to you to get your BFP: Well, we weren't trying last month! I miscarried in Feb (after getting PG on our first try) and decided to wait until May to TTC. My AF was due last week, and I didn't even test until this AM b/c I was so sure I wasn't PG. I had implantation bleeding on the day AF was due, so I thought I just had a realllllly sluggish AF.
* What number child is this for you: 2
* Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies)H, DS, 4, no pets
* Baby's Gender (hopes or guesses): DH really wants a girl. I do too, but the idea of having a girl kinda scares me
* Birth Plans/Preferences: Going to the local birth center. It's a great place.

So, so excited! I feel that this one will really be a sticky. Can't wait to tell DH. He may be disappointed that we won't be having loads of "romance" this month b/c he knocked me up without even trying, and the trying is one of the best parts! I guess I can make it up to him, anyway, esp. for having such great little swimmers! Ok, did I use enough exclamation marks? I think I'm a bit giddy

EDD: 1/3/11
Your Name: Becky
Age: 35
State or Country: North Carolina
How long it took to you to get your BFP: 4 1/2 years after a vas reversal

Anything else you'd like to share: My DH had a vasectomy after DD was born. 2 years later we reversed it...but he developed anti-sperm antibodies and the little guys wouldn't swim. So, for 4 1/2 years we have not prevented but also not gotten preggo. This is a TOTAL SHOCK and a blessing! I guess the sperm finally read a map!
