TTGP Grad Announcements w/o 8/22

abjm0325

If you are a contributing member who has been active here for a full 3 months with a BFP this week, CONGRATULATIONS! 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. We ask that you only post here if you have been participating meaningfully here for at least three months. 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.

CD/DPO of first BFP? CD30/12DPO

How many months/cycles had you been TTC? 3

How long have you been an active participant on the TTGP board? (minimum: 3 full months) 3.5 months

What did your chart look like? See spoiler for Kindara chart. TW: loss mentioned.

The beginning of my cycle was my CP. Typically I ovulate on CD12, but the CP delayed my ovulation by six days. That's why most of the BDing happened too early! 

What were you doing TGKU? I'm a big fan of cervical position check! It might take a cycle or two to understand your body, but it's a lot more effective for me than temping (My morning sleep usually gets interrupted) or CM checking (because my periods tend to be long with early ovulation dates). 

How was your timing? What symptoms did you have, if any? (CS & CD breakdowns welcome) -2 is apparently my lucky day! TW: prior pregnancies mentioned in spoiler:

All three times I've been pregnant, DH and I have BDed on -2. 

How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I had already undressed to take a shower and I called DH upstairs to ask him to bring me the bath mat. (We had to wash it after our cat peed on it.) When he did, I said, "There's something else I want to show you." We were both very happy (and I was naked  ), and he said he kind of saw it coming. 

Anything else to add? I want to sincerely thank everyone here for your support, especially after last month's CP. I will continue to lurk and update and I hope to see more of you on the other side soon. I know it's still early, but based on how my CP played out vs. my pregnancy with DD, I have a good feeling about this. If you need me, I'll be carrying the banner for the May 2023 BMB!

By the way, remember how I said a juvenile buck appeared in my backyard on the day I ovulated and hung around for a week, then disappeared? He reappeared this morning, on the other side of my fence. Maybe it meant something after all.  (pic in spoiler)
