@virginiaham I have said this elsewhere but I just want to say it again - I AM SO DAMN HAPPY FOR YOU It's exciting when anyone gets a BFP, but I would be lying if I said yours didn't make me especially happy for lots of reasons. So much love for you, girl. Can't wait to follow your *healthy* pregnancy and see pics of the little one! Also I don't know why but I had to keep editing this post because I kept referring to your baby as a girl. I think I am psychic. Just saying.
@virginiaham - I am so, so, so happy to hear about this. Congratulations. And I am so happy to hear that you are reminding yourself to take it one day at a time. You are 100% correct- you are pregnant right now and in this moment, nothing else matter. I'll be thinking and praying for you. I really hope this is your take-home baby. You've fought so hard and you deserve this so, so much.

Next Up:
TTC Naturally, possibly IUIs for remainder of 2018. ER#2 ~Jan 2019
CD/DPO of first BFP? 43/20ish (I had to go back and count since I thought I had been on my next cycle for 11 days already)
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 6/5
What did your chart look like? Didn't chart this month
What were you doing TGKU? PNVs, ubiquinol, drink Pom juice.
How was your timing? I don't know for sure since I didn't chart anything. But I'm thinking -2, O
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?well 9dpo of when I thought I O'd I temped since that is normally when it drops and I spot. Sure enough, my temp dropped and I started spotting.Normally my periods are one day of spotting, 3 days of flow, 1-2 days of spotting. This month I had 2 days of spotting, 4 days of flow, 1 day of spotting, 1 day of nothing, 2 days of spotting (and one was light pink), Sunday was nothing, and yesterday i started spotting again and then it turned to a red flow with cramps and clots. I couldn't figure out what was up with AF. A friend told me to a HPT and I thought she was crazy because my temps have stayed way low and I started AF when I thought I should have. Woke up today and it's been lots of red flow with lots of clots. A few big and lots of tiny. I called my OB (which is a whole other story) and went in to get BW and have to get more Saturday. I've gotten a BFP last night (Wondfo & FRER ), this morning with those 2, and again Wondfo just now. So honestly, I'm thinking it's going to be a chemical pregnancy or something else weird since my temps have been low. Other than that, absolutely no symptoms
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I don't know. I have a doggie shirt for my puppy to wear. I don't want to put it on her because I think it's going to be a loss. But I don't want to tell him about the bleeding because if everything ends up ok, I want to tell him the exciting way. Oh. And we literally just booked a trip to Shanghai 2 days ago because I had AF and knew I wasn't KU.
Anything else to add? I just want to say that this really is like a family. Everyone is so supportive & gives such great advice. I have learned so much here and I so so appreciate it!!
@purplg8r I hope you are doing okay! Congrats. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@purplg8r I'm hoping so hard that this is it for you!!!
