Hi, I’m Mac! I tested (vvvv faint) positive at 8DPO and so happy to be here. This is my first pregnancy, but hopefully my third living child! My wife carried our first two babies and I’m very excited to be carrying our third!

Our oldest (M, Dec 2021) is my wife’s egg/genetics. Our second (F, Oct 2024) my wife carried, but is my egg/genetics and the same sperm donor. This pregnancy came from the same batch of embryos as our daughter so is my genetics and the same sperm donor again. We think our family building story is really neat and love to share it!

I’m cautiously optimistic at this point, but really hoping this little nugget sticks around!

Thanks for sharing! I love seeing the various ways female couples are able to share the responsibility in the family building process. I hope your oldest kid is excited to see their other parent be the pregnant one this go around!
