Re: TTGP Grads Week of 12/26
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? It just clicked over to 11 months, *TW* this is my third cycle since my 2nd loss in August.
What did your chart look like? Pretty normal just like all my previous charts! ETA: Attached below*
What were you doing TGKU? Nothing particularly special. Temping, cm, opks. I had a lot more watery CM this fw than the past 2 cycles.
How was your timing? -3, -1, O, +1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I had nausea and heartburn intermittently (I drank spoiled milk, whoops), but my biggest clue was that my blood sugars started acting wonky the past few days. It had only been like that the previous two times I've been KU. I was confused because I was getting stark white negatives up until this afternoon! I had consistent creamy cm that I was thinking was more than the last few cycles, and I've been waking up with what I think in hindsight is really watery cm. We HIO this morning and I thought "my cp feels higher than it has last cycle! Sex felt good! Surely I have to be KU..
I was really bummed yesterday getting a BFN on Christmas day and thought I was out. I said Please, spirits, make me a believer in BFPs later than 9 dpo (because mine were all positive previously by 9 dpo..). Well, I guess they made me a believer!
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? He came home from grocery shopping and I just walked up to him and showed him two different tests and he said, I see a faint pink line! Yayyyyyy!!! *kiss, hug* etc. His parents were arriving in 30 minutes so he said "Don't tell them yet!!" Bahaha don't worry.
We did presents with the in-laws today so I should have wrapped the sticks up and given them to him later, alone. But I didnt, because third time around you're just WAAHHHH!
Anything else to add?
Oh man.. thank you all for your support. I've really enjoyed getting to know you and your stories. It is hard coming back here after a loss... twice. I hope you all don't take offense when I say I don't want to come back here for at least a year!! I'm scared out of my pants because I don't want to experience what I have experienced before a third time. A huge part of me is "shit what have I done?!" It still comes as a huge surprise when it suddenly pops up a faint pink shadow! Please get your BFPs soon guys

CD/DPO of first BFP? 23/11
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 17 months, 18 cycles!
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU? CoQ10, gonal-f 150iu, trigger, iui, progesterone
How was your timing? -3, iui on o, +1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I really didn't have anything hugely out of the ordinary. bbs have been sore since about 3dpo and a little worse than usual, and I didn't have my normal af cramps or headaches start around 8-9dpo. I thought this month was a fail until I had the big temp drop at 9dpo. I got a little bit of hope it'd go back up and I could call it implantation dip. I'm having more symptoms after getting my bfp, but really nothing much before 12dpo.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? He knew I was going to test b/c I told him I felt it was another failed cycle and I just wanted to move on and not get bad news any closer to Christmas. I tested totally expecting a bfn and was shocked that a line showed up not even faintly. DH came home and I'd taken two tests. He asked if I'd tested so I showed him the first one and said "I wasn't sure there was a line" and he said "that means pregnant, doesn't it?" with a smile. Then I pulled out the 2nd test that showed another line. He was shocked as he was so sure, after so many months, it just wasn't going to happen, ever. This was my 5th iui, and first with gonal-f, which might have been the the boost I needed to finally get a bfp.
Anything else to add? I was active here from April-Sept and lurked for months before that. I stopped posting in the wto/tww threads b/c it was just too depressing for me. I've got my fingers crossed for everyone here, especially my IF girls. I hope my bfp is encouraging to those of you who have been trying into double digit cycles. I was ready to give up as it was just becoming too hard, but obviously so glad we gave it one more month. Praying this is our rainbow at last. Wishing you all the best!

CD/DPO of first BFP? 27/10 (11 dpt)
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 18 total, 12 AL
What did your chart look like? This was my first cycle with injections + trigger. I wasn't temping or doing OPKs.

How are you going to/did you tell your partner? My blood test was already scheduled for yesterday. On Christmas Day, I showed him the FRER and wondfos But he said he needed the "real test." I got the call while we were sofa shopping at a furniture store. We sat on a couch and cried and then jokes the staff would think we were super excited about our new furniture purchase.
Anything else to add? I have been here for quite some time, although I took a break from TTGP. There are people here I care for very much and I have continued to lurk to watch your progress (heyyyy AMAers!).

I'm terrified/excited/anxious and am so grateful for the support I received here! ❤
