At long last, I am pregnant!

The doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. I wanted very much to be, but I thought it was not possible. My husband is sterile. I have a lover, but I did not think she could get me pregnant, but fortunately I was wrong. I have never before been so happy to be wrong. We both plan to breast feed. My husband is ecstatic.

Hmmm… not April 1st and poster has over 1000 posts??

Well congratulations… I guess. I imagine the medical research team at Johns Hopkins will all want to be your new best friends.

My lover also has over 1000 post. Loren will have 2 doper mommies and a daddy!

WOOHOO!!!:slight_smile:

There’s something happening here that I just don’t understand. :confused:

What’s not to understand? (And why are people withholding the more typical congrats just because the circumstances are a bit odd?)

That’s fantastic news, lee and KellyM, congratulations! :slight_smile:

But KellyM - now, now, don’t spoil such a happy occasion by being persnickety. The situation in question, while perfectly wonderful, is somewhat out-of-the-ordinary (I don’t like the word “odd”) relative to most situations, and you can’t expect everyone to know the whole background. Be patient with people who likely only mean you well.

Congratulations. I hope to be joining your club soon!

Anthracite, you of all people should know that even something as outrageously bizarre as this isn’t going to make me any less sarcastic when posting. I freely admit having a completely bizarre sense of humor.

This is going to make for a very interesting conversation with my psychologist, I’m sure.

Well, in any event, here’s a second call for a trouble-free, healthy, and happy pregnancy!

:slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Congratulations. Be safe.

Huh. I knew lee had a transexual lover and I knew that KellyM wasa transexual lesbian. And, yet, I had absolutely no idea that they were the same person. Well, I’m an idiot.

Congratulations, lee, husband, and KellyM!

Congratulations, and best wishes to you all!

Many congrats to all of you!

Here’s some information on adoptive breastfeeding which might be helpful:

I’ve helped several adoptive moms induce lactation (I’m a volunter breastfeeding counselor) so it certainly can be done!

Best wishes for an easy pregnancy and safe delivery!

Congrats, y’all! Aaron’s finally got some company! :slight_smile:

Oh that’s much more interesting! I thought, at best, this was going to be a scenario where her lover masterbastered her.

Congratulations to the two of you! You’ve already got a name picked out and everything, so obviously, this is something you’ve really wanted. Best of luck with the whole pregnancy thing (too bad you can’t share that, eh? :)), and may your baby be happy, healthy, and beautiful (yeah, they say all babies are cute, but they lie).

Actually, we picked out the name before we knew, and we weren’t trying (in fact, I believed that I was sterile as I was told that I’d be irreversibly sterile after six months of hormone replacement and I’ve been on hormones for two years now). So it was a bit of a surprise for all of us.

Of course, there’s always the possibility of immaculate conception. Stranger things have happened. :slight_smile:

Sorry for not understanding before. Congratulations !

Congrats, you all.

You can add me to the list of who didn’t realize that lee and KellyM were together. That’s great. We need more DoperBabies, especially those with multiple DoperParents.

Good luck with the pregnancy.
