TTC 1/2012 Diagnosed : unexplained infertility 6 rounds of IUI and a MC 2/2014, rainbow twins 4/2015 TTC #3 5/2016 Restarted Fertility tx IUI 2 rounds, baby girl 12/17
I'm finally feeling like it's okay to post. It's been a bit of a roller coaster the past few days! But I think the storm has passed...
CD/DPO of first BFP?
I had a vvvfl on 10dpo but i truly thought it was an evap as it showed up just outside of the window. The next morning I forgot to test and wasted my fmu *facepalm*, but I did a five hour hold like a crazy woman and had a faint line on two different tests. I started bleeding lightly that night and the next two days. I was worried, but my tests were getting darker. As of right now the bleeding has stopped for over 24 hours... and I had a beautifully dark BFP on an FRER at 15dpo
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP?
We started trying December 16'
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU?
All the typical stuff plus extra vitamin D/B Complex. Peeing on all the OPKs for forever it felt like! I also cut caffeine this cycle.
How was your timing?
-5,-4,-2,-1,+1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?
Nothing definitive really... Just extremely sore breasts, and lots of cramping.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner?
I started crying in the bathroom by myself the first afternoon of a faint positive. I didn't show him the test till later day. I said, "Hey, look at this..." He pulled out his phone to use the flashlight, and I said that I didn't think he'd need that. He used it anyways, and let it a huge "ahhhhhhhh! YES! YES!" He was shocked to see an actual line. We were a bit wary with the bleeding/spotting issues but he had faith and made me test each morning with him so I wouldn't have to face whatever results we got alone... Anything else to add?
I'm so overjoyed and so sad at the same time time post in this thread. I love this community so much. I've been posting and getting to know y'all since August, and honestly this board has saved me in ways I didn't expect.... and am so grateful for. I love you ladies! Know I'll continue to lurk and cheer you all on whenever I can!
Oh, and as always, my inbox is always open to anyone who needs a listening ear!
@josie12367 so many congrats girl wishing you the happiest and healthiest 9 months. I'll miss you around here but am so happy for you to be moving on

Oh @josie12367 Congratulations honey! I can’t stop crying!
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.
