Re: ttgp weekly graduation thread - week of 1 August 2016
CD/DPO of first BFP? 30/12 ...I thought that I saw squinters since 9 DPO but they all seemed to happen outside the 5 min window so I wasn't convinced
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 10 months of anovulation and this was our first medicated cycle.... So 11 months total
What were you doing TGKU? Letrozole, Pregnyl, Metformin, temping, inositol
How was your timing? Everyday in the fertile window!
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? My boobs have been tender since ovulation but since late last week I won't even let DH touch them.
7-8 DPO: I kept getting this pulling sensation to the left of my belly button.
9-11 DPO: I thought my period was coming since I kept getting cramps. Not my normal cramps that hurt my lower back, but just like constant cramping in the front. Also, eggs are like my favorite food in the world and yesterday (11 DPO) I couldn't even stomach one egg. It grossed me out.
12-13 DPO: my boobs are still hella sore and I still have minor cramping that feels like bad gas
Also, my temps have been super steady since 8DPO: (sorry if this is massive, I'm on mobile)
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I told him yesterday after breakfast. Nothing special... I brought the FRER out to him:
Me: "see that line right there? That means that I'm pregnant!"
DH: "whoa it worked!!?!?"
(hugging... Then we both had to run separate errands)
DH later: "so do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
Me: *eyeroll* "we won't know that for awhile!" Haha
Anything else to add? I have to thank you ladies so much! If I hadn't found this community at the beginning of my TTC journey, I would have gone insane. Thanks to temping and tracking, I found out the issue with my body earlier and we were able to do something about it. Good luck to everyone! I have my blood draw at the RE this morning so I hope the results are normal and good! I still think my lines are pretty light, but obviously I don't know what's normal haha

@mokay19 this is so exciting! I'm so happy for you. Now you don't have to worry about more medicated cycles and if they'll work or not and all that. It's always extra exciting to see the IF and TTCAL ladies get their BFPS and move on to their BMB.
I wish you all the best!

How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 2
What were you doing TGKU? checking CM and trying to time BD right
How was your timing? -1, O
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Sounds really odd, but I was freezing all the time. It is in the low 90s here and I am never cold but I have been freezing for like a week. I also had some spotting 10 DPO so I thought that was AF but I guess not.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? His birthday is a week from today, I think I'm going to get a birthday card and on the inside write "Happy Birthday Dad"
Anything else to add? I cannot honestly believe it worked. In the short time that I was on TB TTGP I learned a lot about my CP and CM that I had no clue about. Thank you ladies for being supportive even though I wasn't active for long.

*TW, I had a MC and it is part of my story down there*
CD/DPO of first BFP? 31/10
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? This was out 3rd cycle, but we have been trying for over 4 months because of my long cycles. This was our first cycle after my chemical pregnancy (July 3rd).
What were you doing TGKU? Nothing hardly. We were NTNP this month because I was on the fence about being ready to TTC after our loss. I was temping to confirm ovulation and know when to expect AF. No OPKs this month. I did sort of check my CM every few days, just because how awesome is it to stick your fingers in your vagina.
How was your timing? -1, yep. Just the once. How crazy is that?! I have had sex 5 times during my FW and not gotten pregnant. There was a maybe mistake with a pull out adventure on +1, but that probably doesn't count.
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?
-2 I had the first glob of EWCM that I have ever gotten in my life. Like huge globs whenever I went to the bathroom for over 24 hours. (just a fun little tidbit)
0-3dpo - major face breakout. This is normal for me around ovulation and it being the hottest week of the year didn't help.
6dpo - I had some very light cramps. I noticed it, but thought perhaps AF was just going to be majorly early because of the chemical. It wasn't as bad as normal period cramps though, not even close.
6dpo and on - majorly sore boobs. Seriously. The only times they have been this sore were the 2 other times I was pregnant and the first period off of birth control. It was definitely a major clue. They usually get a little tender for a day or two before AF, but 6dpo was super early and they are SOOOOOO sore.
8dpo - my mom was cooking bacon and I seriously had to focus so hard on not throwing up because of the smell. It was so bad. I mentioned it to her. And she joked about me being pregnant. I was like... haha, yeah right.
8dpo-10dpo - SOOOOOO tired. Like going to bed an hour early, sleeping an hour later than normal, taking an hour nap with DD and still falling asleep while eating supper.
9dpo-10dpo - my face is totally breaking out again like it normally would before AF. Guys, I look like a 12 year old right now.
oh hey, I can just share my chart. Here you go ladies. I have never shared a chart before. It is kind of weird. Go ahead and judge us for our sex schedule. haha.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? tomorrow is his birthday. a big reason why I tested. I am going to take a FRER and wrap it up like a present and then tell him I get him a little something private. (we didn't do b-day presents for each other this year) He will probably think it is a new sex toy or something and will then be disappointed. I will give you his reaction after I do it.
Anything else to add? This month was really hard. After we got a BFP in June and then lost the baby in July. I didn't think I wanted to try at all this month. I had all these great plans for next cycle. There is a bottle of pom juice in my fridge. I bought the raspberry leaf tea. I was going to eat a pineapple. I started taking vitamin B. I was going to do as much as possible to prevent a loss from happening again. And then apparently God laughed at my plans. I am so happy, but also scared to death. Honestly, I don't even want to tell DH for another week or so, but that isn't fair to him or me. This time around is very different. I am not expecting good things. I am trying not to throw up thinking about going through a loss again. I couldn't have done it without you all. Praying this rainbow baby sticks. Cross your fingers or pray for me!
