Very tentatively stepping over here I guess. CD/DPO of first BFP? 31/11 Yesterday, as some of you might remember, I thought I saw something on the test with FMU. But, the test was a little streaky and there was definitely no line there 10 minutes later. So, I held my pee for 4.5 hours and took another test. That one was very, very negative. I definitely thought I was out. This morning I decided to take one more. And yep, definitely a line there. Super, super faint. But, at least for today, there is definitely a line.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? This was my 4th cycle charting and off BC, but my 2nd cycle actively trying. Long cycles mean we started in April though.
What were you doing TGKU? Temping, checking CM (although I kind of gave up on that because my body can't get it's sh** together regarding CM) and we used Preseed.
How was your timing? -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1 (oh yeah!)
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I had a tiny bit of very mild cramping yesterday (10dpo). And from 5dpo I have had way more creamy CM than normal. My nipples also seemed a little sore last night (10dpo), but that is very typical for me before AF so I didn't think anything of it.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I had a sort of cute plan in place since January. I bought a shirt that says, "does this shirt make me look pregnant?" And I was going to put it on and just see if he noticed. Well, yesterday when there was the disappearing line I put it on and than went to wake him up so he could stare at the line with me. It sort of ruined the plan a bit, especially when we thought I was wrong. So, today when I took the test I just walked into DD's room, where DH was on the floor with her watching a TV show. I just held up the pee stick and smiled. He was like... get in here! And then he asked me how many I thought were in there. haha!
Anything else to add?
You ladies are the best! Seriously. I am tearing up thinking about how it is so unfair that I get to post this. You are so amazing and so deserving of your own babies. I have so much respect for those of you who have been at this game so much longer than you had planned. I have learned more on here than any book could have taught me. I will miss it here so much! I sincerely hope to see all of you over on the BMB. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kind honest words and hilarious GIFs.
If you don't mind I want to stick around for a couple more days. The line is just so, so faint I will feel better moving on when it is clearer.
