If you are a contributing member with a BFP this week, please share your success with us here!
How do you know if you're a contributing member? 1. Ask your heart. 2. Do these people know you? Will they be happy about your pregnancy? 3. Have you offered support to others or have you just blasted your own info out there? 4. Really, if you're a 1/1 or a 2/2 and it's not like you were around when you were benched or prior to TTC, maybe just move on. Even if you have participated daily for a month and offered tons of support. Sometimes the silence is kindest. Those of us who lurk BMBs, we'll see your intro and PM/comment/love tit. 5. Again, take a moment and step away from your excitement and ask your heart if posting would be potentially hurtful. ---------------------------------------------------------------
This thread has mild restrictions - thread is primarily BFP announcements but doesn't allow for direct questions or lengthy/personalized congrats in the comments. Use the "Love It" button, "congrats!", "H&H 9 months!", "I was hoping this was your month!" and other short & sweet notes.
Regular board rules apply - this is not the place to ask if you are pregnant based off your symptoms or for second opinions on your tests. We do invite you to contribute in the daily TWW and WTO threads and discussions. This community gives back tenfold what you put into it!
When you see somebody who has possibly violated a guideline of this thread, please quote the section of these guidelines and include a callout to the poster, but keep snark to a minimum as these rules can be subject to opinion. If you have a post called out, please edit your offending post to add a note that you've been made aware of the rule and will keep it in mind in the future (if you are being asked to change wording due to unintentionally offensive phrasing, please remove that part of your post with a note of "EDIT: Removed offensive phrasing). Remember: this thread is not a tribunal. Continued arguments and defenses about a post have no place here and are considered off-topic. If you would like to make an argument for or against a rule, please create or update a META thread to discuss.
CD/DPO of first BFP?
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP?
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU?
How was your timing?
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?
CD/DPO of first BFP?
Super squinter at CD25/10DPO Turned at digital at 12DPO
How many
months/cycles had you been TTGP? 8 months/5 cycles – At least 2 cycles were
anovulatory and 2 were unconfirmed (no temping or OPKs).
What did your chart
look like? Really pretty if I do say so myself…
What were you doing
TGKU?
Sex: EOD
around FW
Tracking:
BBT, CM, physical symptoms
Intake:
PNV, Clomid (50mg), Paleo (no processed foods, no dairy, exception for whole
grains), spearmint tea, inositol supplement
Activity:
30-45 minutes of medium-intensity yoga 7 days/week
Mental
Health: therapy every 3-4 weeks, meditation
How was your timing?
-3, -1, +1 (x2) so not bad overall
What symptoms did you
have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I never have any PMS symptoms
beyond CD2 cramping. So when I noticed things I’ve never experienced before
(like 24/7 hard nipples), it was very obvious to me that something was up. (CD
breakdown in the spoiler)
O – 6
DPO: Mild tugging sensation/cramping (essentially O pains long after O)
7 DPO:
Minor bloating towards the end of the day
8 DPO:
Bloating, nipples constantly hard
9 – 15 DPO:
Bloating, nipples constantly hard (now darker and painful), consistent mild
headache, lower backache, excessively emotional
How are you going to/did
you tell your partner? He was in bed when I was testing. It was a super
squinter, so I was cautiously optimistic and triple checking before I got too
excited. The test didn’t impress him, but he did insist on kissing my stomach before
he left I think it settled in a bit more now that the tests are getting
darker and he’s starting to get that this is real.
Anything else to add?
I can’t thank you ladies enough for the endless support and love you’ve
shown me since I joined in December. I have made some truly awesome friends on
this site and I could not be more grateful for it. I can honestly say I don’t
know if I could have handled this whole process as well as I did without all of
you.
Special shout out to all the ladies in the IF thread. You
all are a special kind of wonderful. Your endless knowledge helped me advocate
for myself and truly take charge of my dx and treatment plan. I hope your
wisdom lives on long after you graduate.
Sending all my positive vibes to everyone who is still TTC.
I have my FX for each and every one of you, and I hope you all follow me out of
here soon. Until that day comes, you bet I’ll be stalking your updates and
keeping in touch.
I'm so happy for you! I hope you have the most boring/event-free/H&H 9mo ever!
