CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
CD/DPO of first BFP? My first true positive was on 26/12dpiui. I had my first beta on Friday at 13dpiui and wanted to wait until today (16dpiui) to have my second beta to make sure everything was doubling before posting here.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 10 months/8 cycles.
What were you doing TGKU? Metformin, Femara + Ovidrel + IUI
How was your timing? -5, -3, -2, IUI, +1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I didn't really have any early symptoms, but I did notice the following:
10dpiui: extreme breast tenderness (only my right breast)
11dpiui: bloating and minor cramping
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I always had such big plans to tell my husband in a cute way, and always thought I would hide my tests from him until I could surprise him. Well all that went out the door because I had to have him look at all of my tests since last Wednesday because I couldn't tell if the lines were still from my trigger. So my husband has known right from the beginning with me. I did, however, get him a card and a onesie for Father's Day of his favorite NCAA Basketball team because the EDD is close to March Madness.
Anything else to add? Thanks to all of you who have offered support over the past 10 months. I am happy to have made so many 'friends' through this community. I can't wait to celebrate your BFPs soon!!

How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 11/10
What were you doing TGKU? Temping, CM, EOD in FW, PNV, this was our first month using pre-seed (we used KY before I learned that was no good- I'm a slow learner apparently)
How was your timing? -5, -3, -1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Mild cramping and tender nipples starting 6dpo (i never get either of those pre-AF)
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? *possible TW?* Least romantic story ever. I actually collapsed at work and had to go to the emergency room yesterday. I had severe pain in my lower abdomen, sweating & felt faint. My husband met me at the ER, where we were told we were pregnant (surprise!!!), and that most likely just experienced a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst. Despite the 7 hours in the ER, it was a pretty nice experience- the sweetest nurse was so excited to give us the 'good news'. And then my Gynecologist came and visited and discussed what happened and the next steps. My Hcg levels were very low. This alarmed them a bit at first because of the last day of my period, so i had to educate them on my temping and my CD21 O. (thanks FF!)
Anything else to add? I've been trying for a while, but only started participating on this group this cycle. Having a group of supportive ladies to help me navigate this crazy process has been invaluable. Each an every one of you played a part in getting me KU.

Nervously posting here!
CD/DPO of first BFP? 34/11 I took 3 tests (one wondfo, one line, and one digi) this morning when I saw my temp was up and that my period hadn't started and neither had any spotting (usually 10 day LP). I also just took another one at the office, haha, and well I guess it's real. I did test yesterday as well, but it was negative.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 6
What were you doing TGKU? HIO, CM, BBT, OPK
How was your timing? -3 and -1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?
Really not much that I can definitely tie to this. I did get sore and stabby nipples, which I have never gotten before, over the last couple days. Yesterday at 10dpo my boobs hurt while I was running. And I've been feeling like a fluttering"nervous tummy" the past few days, but that might not be related. I don't know. I didn't get any spotting like I normally do, either.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner?
I'm a little embarrassed but I texted him from work this morning to tell him. I tried waking him up before I left (he is off today) but he was sound asleep and then I felt bad and figured I should let him sleep in. But then I couldn't keep it inside so I texted him. He did say "I can't believe you are telling me this over text!" But I think he is excited and scared. I can't wait to see him later on when I get home!
Anything else to add?
Thank you guys for all the support, companionship, advice and information since I've been posting here. I know I'm not the most active poster, I mainly stayed within the WTO and TWW threads while I've been posting here but I've looked forward to participating every time I came on here. Love you all, I'll be lurking and keeping my FX for everyone.
Also I'm sorry that half this post is bold and half not. Mobile bump is the worst.
