Re: TTGP Weekly Graduation Thread - Week of 6 June 2016
CD/DPO of first BFP? 71/12 (and again this morning @ 13dpo)
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 16/6 (5/3 AL)
What were you doing TGKU? The usual. But this cycle I tried RRL tea and EPO prior to O, used PreSeed during FW, and ate pineapple core 3dpo-5dpo.
How was your timing? -3, -1, 0, +1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I have had dull, achy cramps since 9dpo and don’t usually have AF cramps before CD1. Also, lightning boob has been in full force since 10dpo.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I gave him this cute onesie. I didn’t wrap it or anything. I just brought it to him in the envelope it came in. He knew before he opened it. We both cried and hugged, and then he said “My boys can swim… again!”
Anything else to add? I just want to thank all of you wonderful ladies for all the support you have given me during this journey. I am so grateful to have been able to share this with you and I hope to see yinz all soon in Feb17.

CD/DPO of first BFP? 27/wasn't temping but I think it was 12 dpo based on prior months (I've been very regular.) I tested 6pm last night and it was very faint, FMU this am...clear as day:)
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 16 Total/ 6 TTCAL
What were you doing TGKU? surprisingly this cycle just sex. No temping, no opks, no mucinex, no preseed.
How was your timing? again estimating...-4,-3,-1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? REALLY sore boobs, headaches (which are common pre AF for me), exhaustion the last few days, really emotional, and a bit of nausea yesterday.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? DH is not a morning person at all so I want to wait and get a father's day card for him and tell him this evening but I don't know if I can go all day with this secret!
Anything else to add? *TW MC mentioned* I'm very excited (obviously!) but I'm also terrified because of my miscarriage in Dec. I know odds are against me having a repeat but until I hear a heartbeat and see my little peanut I'm going to be going insane (who am I kidding, I'll always be worried). In Dec I miscarried at 6 weeks. As perfect timing it would be/is to tell our parents for Father's day I'm a lot more cautious this time around. My family wasn't very supportive at all; DH's was the day we told them but not after. I don't know when we'll tell; probably not until 8 weeks. I will have to tell (and want to tell) my two girl friends this weekend as we are/were planning on drinking. They were very supportive and can keep a secret. *End TW*
I know everyone says it but I'll still say it because it's true. I can't thank you ladies enough of all the love and support you've shown me over the past year and a half. I didn't really have much support IRL and could always turn to you guys when I was having a bad day. I love you all and hope to see you over on the Feb'17 boards soon.

Infertility, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Rainbow baby born June 6, 2017 ❤️
Baby #2 due June 12, 2018
CD/DPO of first BFP? CD 24. I had my first extreme squinter on a wondfo at 9dpo, a questionable squinter on a Walmart cheapy yesterday at 10dpo, and a no question pink line on a Walmart cheapy this morning!
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 7 months 5 cycles since loss
What were you doing TGKU? everything and then some
How was your timing? 2x -1 and 0
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? nothing really to note yet. But I'm on vacation and today is the due date of my loss (yes you read that right) so I've been avoiding SS like the plague. Hindsight I've been a little tired, but I just thought I was being lazy and enjoying the beach!
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? he's still asleep. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. We're on vacation with the in-laws and I really don't want them to know yet. I might see if we can escape for a walk down the beach so I can tell him in private.
Anything else to add? just Holy shit! I'm still pretty leary until I get betas. I had 3 days of super faint squinters in April and then got my period. Today is definitely darker than those so I feel deep down that this time is different. I'm going to have to wait until Monday at the earliest to get a draw! Ahh!
Also, thank you all. I know I've been a little quieter lately. I've just needed to give myself some time away from the internet. But I've been reading and love titting when I've been here! This community is invaluable to me. FX you all get to leave here soon.

@CoonMom I am so excited for you! I can definitely understand the hesitation to let everyone know as I was that way as well because of the same reasons. I hope everything goes absolutely perfect for a H&H 9 months! You and DH will get to enjoy a beautiful little secret for a few weeks
CD/DPO of first BFP? 26/10 Super faint line on a FRER but it was the sacred flat one so I know it's real. My first BFP was the same type of faint Going to keep testing the next few days to make sure it gets darker
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 7, second cycle after CP, third after MMC
What were you doing TGKU? BBT, PNV, ovaboost, myo inositol, fertilaid, fertilecm, acupuncture, black cohosh cd5-15, CP, CM, HIO ED, OPK, preseed In FW, pineapple core dpo0-5, fertility meditation, CoQ10, baby aspirin
How was your timing? -6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1x2,0,+1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?
Starting 5dpo I began getting super exhausted all the time and some pinching on both sides of the ute
Dpo7 had dizziness, nausea, cramps and extreme fatigue
dpo8 sore boobs began as well
dpo9 nausea worse than any of my previous morning sickness, dizziness, boobs hurt so bad on both sides and grump cat to the extreme.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner
he has know I was testing and waited for me to come out of the bathroom. No big surprises when it's your third BFP this year
its been a really rough year for us TTC, thank you so much for being here ladies. Going to stick around until all my blood work confirms

Anything else to add?
I mean this with every ounce of my being. I would not have survived these last 8 cycles without you guys. Through every dark day, you supported me, encouraged me, and made me laugh. You helped pass the TWW every cycle and made the start of WTO bearable. I love love love you guys and am so thankful for this community.
THANK YOU
OMG OMG OMG!!!! I actually saw you comment on this earlier in the week and thought it was you posting an announcement and was bummed when it was just a comment!!! So excited for you! H&H 9 months to you, you were always so supportive and helpful to everyone, you will be missed that's for sure!

...and now I am about to freaking lose my shh!!!! @MonaLisaRalphio I was JUST saying to myself how much I already think of you as a Grad, and how weird it has been for me whenever I see you in a WTO/TWW thread, like, "how is this chick not KU already!?!" Cos in my mind you have been ku since you got home from Italy, basically! And now you really ARE! Squeee!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
CD/DPO of first BFP? 30/9 or 30/12
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 8 months, 6 cycles.
What were you doing TGKU? BBT, OPK, PNV, HIO
How was your timing? -4 through O or -2 through +1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Lightning boobs, more CM than usual, and I'm super emotional today. Some light cramping developing today. Super squinter at 6 this morning on a FRER turned into a no-doubt-about-it line on a FRER and a blue dye test, plus a positive digital at 3pm.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I called him at work and before he even finished saying the word "hello," I blurted out "I'm pregnant." #romance
Anything else to add? All the thank yous, of course, but also, I wanted to give a shoutout to those of you who worry about a lack of CM. I had almost no CM this entire cycle, and apparently I was still able to get KTFU.
