I am so so happy for you and YH lady! YOU DID IT!! Ugh- tears in my eyes so hard reading how you told him and his reaction!! I sincerely wish you the happiest and healthiest 9 months ever! Congrats!!
@lund !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't even. Congratulations girl, I'm so happy for you!! I wish you the happiest and healthiest 9 months ever, and the stickiest of beans. This is awesome news!
I forget to lurk TTGP for a few days and miss @lund is KTFU!!! I'm so incredibly happy for you!!!

*lurking* OMG @lund GIRL CONGRATS!! I am so beyond excited for you. You were a great TTGP friend and I am so happy to see this today. I think DH thought I was crazy when I audibly gasped when I saw your post! So, so happy for you and wishing you the happiest, healthiest, most boring 9 months ever! My only regret is that I cannot properly gif this moment on mobile. Congrats, girl!!
Thought I'd round out the week here.... cautiously... CD/DPO of first BFP? 23/11 but I didn't believe it. PGAL brain really knows how to mess with you. My beta at 13dpo was 170 and 15dpo was 421, but I didn't want to hog Monday space with this post.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 9 months, 2 AL.
What did your chart look like? Using FF on my laptop right now and the chart pop-up is being weird and not fitting all in the box but here's the basics:
What were you doing TGKU? OPKs, BBT, we tried Preseed for the first time this month, and I randomly ate pineapple core a few days after O, just cause it was available.
How was your timing? It was not great, and I was beating myself up over it because I O'd two days earlier than I ever have before and wasn't expecting it at all. I woke up on CD12 and took my temp, panicked cause it had jumped and with CM I was sure we'd missed it, and woke up MH to tell him we had to do it RIGHT. NOW. We had been HIO before that but CD12 was the only time where it um, finished in the right spot to get KU.
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I didn't notice anything at first, partly because I was so sure we were out this cycle, and partly because *TW* MH's mom unexpectedly died on CD15 and we had to race halfway across the country for the next week. He was really close with her and the way it all went down was incredibly hard. So my mind was not focused on it much at all, except in the morning when I woke up to temp and couldn't fall back asleep *END TW* But since then, I've had sore boobs, some spotting (which freaked me out cause that's how my MC started, which is why I got the early betas), and a little bit of nausea.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? He wanted to go to some hot springs that his mom used to take him to when he was little and I thought I'd better POAS just in case. Went to the drug store, bought FRER, and took it in the bathroom at the hot springs. I walked out totally stunned and he was there waiting for me. He said he thought something was really wrong until he saw a hint of a smile on my face, then he broke out into a big grin and we just hugged. It was really nice to have such a joyous moment in the midst of all the pain we'd been dealing with.
Anything else to add? First, I am SO PUMPED to share a BMB with @hedgepig@mispanda@saralee797-2@holly321 and @lund (even if some of us will be straddlers). When I first started lurking TB, I had no idea I'd go on to befriend some of the most wonderful people possible. This community welcomed me with open arms and I've never felt anything but supported by you all. I don't know what I would've done without being able to talk about my loss and hopelessness after with women who understood. I hope I've been able to give you as much as you've all given me. And I very much hope that this board clears out and mass moves into the same BMB because I value a lot of you so much. Also, I wasn't part of the IF board, but I stalk you all regularly and am so invested in each of your journeys and will continue to root for you specifically so, so hard. Not only because, to me, you are the heart and soul of TTGP, but also because you all fucking deserve the world.
