TTGP Grad Thread W/O 12/24

b_1029

Not sure we can top the last couple of weeks, but let’s try!

*******

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.

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 or "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.  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.

Late to the party after the bonanza of amazing announcements last week, but I was waiting on my second official beta today (15dp5dt), which looked good. 

CD/DPO of first BFP? 30/4dp5dt 

How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 22 months/cycle # is complicated... *TW technically 1/1 AL since my fourth loss, I think 12-13 cycles overall, lots of time spent ku, going through loss, benched, and WFIVF end TW*

What did your chart look like? We did a natural cycle transfer so I did chart. Interestingly both FF and I would have been wrong about when I ovulated compared with what my clinic determined from bw. I'm sorry, it is the worst chart ever to chart. 

What were you doing TGKU? IVF with PGS

How was your timing? We stuck an embryo in at 5 dpo and apparently that was just right. 

What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I feel like most early "symptoms" are progesterone related. However, on the evening of 4dp5dt I developed a very bitter taste in my mouth (I accused DH of trying to poison me) which stuck around until I ate some spicy food the following evening. Then the bitter taste came back for about 12 hours on 11dp5dt. I also always get weird muscle spasms when I am pregnant, so I've had those too on and off since a day or two before I could turn a test.

How are you going to/did you tell your partner? We have this ongoing gag at our house where we move a stuffed animal named Francoise around the house. I tied two tests to him on 5dp5dt and put him in the living room. DH did not notice for like 90 minutes until I finally was like, hmmm, have you seen Francoise? We are both not quite believing this is real. 

Anything else to add? Thank you to all of the amazing TTGP ladies who have supported me through the toughest times in my life. Love always to my TTCAL and IF ladies who are fighting a battle every day that the people around you IRL just don't understand. I am hoping very hard I will not be back again for a long while, and also remain afraid I will boomerang back around to you sooner than I'd like. I wish everyone here so much luck in getting your take home baby, but I also want you to know you are enough, no matter what happens, you are enough.

Wow!!!  I'm jumping up and down for you, @zamora_spin.  This is incredible news, and my fingers are crossed so hard that you get your take home baby.  You have always been so supportive, even with everything you have gone through.  HH9 to you!!!
