Re: TTGP Weekly Graduation Thread - Week of 4/18
CD/DPO of first BFP? Wondfo super squinter at 10 DPO, turned a FRER later that day. Line still there on a Wondfo using FMU today, so I guess this is really for real!
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 3/3, with one month off because DH was gone.
What were you doing TGKU? Nothing out of the ordinary, other than CM monitoring, temping every morning, and PreSeed as needed. I guess I should also mention that I've been eating a 90% vegan diet for the past 6 weeks and have cut back on my alcohol consumption (something temporary, for religious reasons). But don't let that convince you to give up your bacon and booze! Correlation does not equal causation, as DH would say.
How was your timing? -3, -1, +1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Extreme fatigue like, 1-2 DPO--related or not, I'm not sure. Tender boobs starting around CD6 or 7. But really mild--I was still pressing on them to check when I got my BFP yesterday. Fakey ute twinges, also starting around CD6 or 7. Random nausea when I ate some walnut shrimp on CD8, but I attributed it to anxiety over being in the TWW. Spotting after sex on CD 9, more spotting throughout CD 10. Moodiness throughout, but whether or not that was a symptom is questionable.
ETA: Creamy CM post O that took awhile to dry up.
Also, you guys should check out my chart (the ticker, for some reason, is behind). I got a temperature drop on CD9 that convinced me I was on my way out, with just a slight raise on CD10. So just because you're not seeing triphasic doesn't mean it's over for you!
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? Ha. He was supposed to work late last night, so I went shopping for a nice card, a onesie, and an explanatory book for him. Except that he didn't--he got back early. I had left my pee sticks out, but he didn't know how to read them, so when I got back, he was very subdued. When I gave him the Target bag of stuff (because I didn't even get to wrap it as planned!) he was like, "Wait. What? I saw the tests and punched the wall because I thought they were negative."
Anyway, his reaction matches mine: disbelief. I'm more convinced this morning, but I really want this bun to be sticky.
Anything else to add? You're not out until you're out. I really had low hopes for this cycle, especially with my delayed O and weirdly short LP's.
And you guys, I love you all and wish you all an abundance of BFP's. What a freaking incredible community. I'll be lurking for awhile--EDD is December 29, so I'll probably join the January board as soon as it's open. I hope to see ALL of you there!

How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? We have been trying to conceive since January 2014
What were you doing TGKU? we had stayed up late watching a movie and my hubby had made a comment that I had never woke him up for the deed in the middle of the night, so I waited until he had been asleep about 30 minutes and woke him. Lol
How was your timing? -4, -2, 0
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? My main symptom was my CM and because of you lovely ladies and all of your help, I had been tracking my BBT. My temperatures kept rising.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? well I took a cheap test on day 14 and I wasn't sure if it was an evap line, so he knew I was going to test again. I bought a big dog at the store Monday and tested Tuesday morning with the digital. Once I got the BFP, I went upstairs, woke him and told him Rylee (our DD) is going to be a big sister.
Anything else add? Just want to thank all of you ladies. I haven't been posting a lot, just lurking lately, but just know you guys have helped me so much through TTGP. ♡

How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? **TW loss mentioned** We tried for 2 cycles before I got a BFP in the fall but that ended in a MC. After that, this was the third cycle. (5 total about 6 months over all)
What were you doing TGKU? Temping, CM, PNV, and generally just trying to be healthier. I already don't drink much caffeine or alcohol so that was pretty easy!
How was your timing? -5, -2, 0, +1 I remember getting frustrated with DH because he didn't "feel like it" on -1... guess we didn't need it!
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Sore boobs, CM, and then eventually a late AF.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I already did. It's hard to do anything too dramatic since he knew I was testing this morning. This morning, I left the test on the bathroom counter. When he got out of the shower I asked if he looked at it and he said no so I asked him how many lines he saw. Once he saw two he was all smiles and excited.
Anything else to add? I'm excited and happy but also nervous. I really hope this one sticks because I don't want to have to go through another loss... no one should have to go through that. So I'm trying to be optimistic and in the mean time I'll take my mind off worrying by enjoying our vacation next weekend
Lastly, the community here is wonderful. You all are so supportive and I thank you for that. I hope to see more of you hop over to the graduation threads and wish you all the best of luck in TTC!
