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 if you have contributed positively here.
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, maybe just move on. Even if you have participated daily for one month and offered tons of support. Sometimes the silence is kindest. Those of us who lurk BMBs will 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.

Re: TTGP Grad Thread w/o March 12
CD/DPO of first BFP? 28/13 (the morning of my momma's wedding!!)
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 14 months/11 cycles
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU? Provera after a loooonnng annov cycle, followed by 2.5mg letrozole CD3-7. Started opks & hio eod starting cd 9 until confirmed O
How was your timing? -3, -1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? So I thought I was out and I moved from tww to wto early because I started spotting for multiple days starting 7dpo with what my usual pre-af spotting looks like. I had even emailed my OB before leaving for NJ to start setting up the next cycle/next steps! Then the spotting stopped. The night before I tested I was in tears missing my cats and was disgusted after eating a pb m&m which was super odd. So next morning tested with my LAST internet cheapie and just about flipped my ish when I saw a 2nd line. Ran to Walgreens next to our hotel to get a pack of FRER, dipped one didnt believe it. Dipped the second a0nd burst into happy tears of disbelief. Since then my boobs are sore af and I've been hella tired.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? So MH has an inside joke about giving two female friends (on separate occasions) an orange soda and they were pregnant but hadn't told anyone yet. So he kept teasing that he was gonna give me an orange soda a few months back but wasn't sure if it was PMS or not (silly man refuses to listen to reason when I tell him tww and early preg symptoms are the same). Anyhow... Hotel didn't have orange soda, just orange gatorade so wrote a note saying they didnt have soda and left it next to the hpts. He immediately announced "YES! I called it!!!" proceeded to tell DSD the "secret" who then told my mom IMMEDIATELY and yeah... I'm slightly freaked out cause it's sooo early and soooo many people know already, but I'm rolling with it. We actually cut our trip short and are on our way home now so that I can check in with my doctor sooner (been having some spotting every time I poop, so it's really freaking me out). Either way... Today I AM PREGNANT!! Beta #1 tomorrow AM and Beta #2 Thursday AM.
Anything else to add? Holy crap, again, everyone says it but I love you all so so much. I wouldn't have made it here without all of your support and love, especially you IF ladies. It breaks my heart to be here before so many of you and I feel so blessed to have it *relatively* easy. I know the bittersweet happiness for others when they post to this thread and I wish every one of you were right next to me posting today. I will continue to route you all on and will miss posting to TTGP. You all are a rock of amazing support that I feel so blessed and privileged to have been part of.
