After a great week last week, let's keep them coming!
Congrats to any TTGP grads this week, our fingers are crossed!
This thread has mild restrictions - thread is primarily BFP announcements but does allow for direct questions or lengthy/personalized congrats in the comments. Use the "Love It" button to indicate "congrats!", "H&H 9 months!", "I was hoping this was your month!" and other short&sweet notes. Questions as well as longer personal congratulatory notes can be posted in the thread.
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!

Re: TTGP Grads Week of 12/5
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 8 months, 4 after loss
What did your chart look like? I didnt chart this cycle
What were you doing TGKU? Prenatal Vitamins, Preseed, Green Tea, HIO ED, I stayed still after HIO for at least 15 minutes, and raised my pelvis during HIO too, temp to confirm O, I had been doing OPK until this month, becuase they were stressing me out.
How was your timing? -3, -2 -1, 0, 1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? About a week ago I had a strange pulling sensation around my bellybutton, and then on about Friday (CD 30) and on I had super tender breasts. Saturday (day AF as due, and CD 31) I woke up thinking AF had started becuase I felt super wet, and had had some light cramping all night, and the wet was really **TMI** a huge glop of ewcm! It was nasty. Other than those I dont really feel any different
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? He was with me when I tested. I had told him on Saturday that I was late, but I didnt want to test and be sad for our christmas shopping, so I would wait for Sunday to test. So when he went to take the dog out I got up and POAS and then he came in and we waited together. When it came up saying Pregnant (it was a digital, and my last test) I cried into his shirt for like 15 minutes. I couldn't believe it was happening, and then we just talked all morning! It was a perfect way to find out. We both talked about the loss 6 months ago, and how to keep ourselves positive and how to not dwell on that. So we are starting in a good place, though a bit scared, we are ready for this, and really praying this is our take home baby!
Anything else to add? I can not thank this community enough! All the times I came on here and vented about how hard something was, or when we got to celebrate someone or something. It really helped make this process feel bearable! Without all of your advice, insight, and positivity I truly don't think I would be posting here today! Thank you ALL so much!

How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 9 months/7 ovulatory cycles/4 ovulatory cycles AL
What did your chart look like? Every other month. There was a dip yesterday that I thought was leading to AF. Didn't test until today when I saw the temp back up.
What were you doing TGKU? PNV, OPK (wondfo and CB - I like to POAS), EOD, CM, CP
How was your timing? -4, -2, O
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Nada! Bbs are a little sore, but since MC they have been that way every month before AF. That just didn't go away a day or two before AF, and now I know why.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I had made this box that has a poem in it saying he'll be a daddy, and it has 12 pictures of him and I with the babies of our family (cousins kids, nephew, etc).
Anything else to add? I didn't allow myself to SS this month. I don't know how, kinda just tried to not think about it too much. Also, the positive was so super faint today, so I'm still nervous about it.
Edit to add pics of the box I gave DH (mobile, sorry for size)

How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 3/3
What did your chart look like?
ETA I had had a question about my 5dpo temp and just changed my temp back to the original one. It had seemed very low because I had the quite gotten 3 hours of sleep, but it's obviously an implantation dip now!
What were you doing TGKU?
BBT, CM, CP, OPK, PNV, CoQ10, B complex, magnesium, PreSeed sometimes (but not this cycle), DTD
How was your timing? -5, -4, -3, -1, O, 1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?
Pretty much none other than positive or nearly positive OPK for THREE WEEKS now! I did take a test at 5dpo because I was wondering if somehow I got pregnant last cycle and bled, but no... now I'm wondering if this will be multiples because I am a twin and pretty much all my informal research on these crazy OPK stories shows multiple pregnancies!
How are you going to/did you tell your partner?
Ugh, you guys...I haven't seen him since Thursday! He had a 24 hour shift and came home when I was on my way to work yesterday morning. He left for a work party (guys only, they got a hotel room) when I was on my way home. He stayed over since he has a promotion class near there today. Then he's going to help his sister move, so I won't see him until later tonight!!! I'm gonna post my full way of announcing on the August BMB after I tell him because it's gonna be amazing! Here is a preview.
Anything else to add?
I seriously have been keep sane by TB / TTGP for the last year because of my lurking from December - June. I started posting in June when we were going to start TTC and got sidelined by Zika until a few months ago. So for 7 months, I have been meeting some amazing ladies that have taught me so much. I feel like it's our job to learn here and spread our knowledge to others to help them get KU no matter how short or long our time is here.
PLEASE temp and do OPKs. It helps take a lot of the guess work out of it and for someone like me with a cycle range of 26-37 days / ovulation range of CD 15-24 it was really important for me to do.
I was exposed to Zika on my honeymoon at the end of July to beginning of August, so I have to see if I can get blood work done before 6 weeks, hopefully over my winter break. I was also diagnosed with a blood disorder (VWD) when I was a teenager, but a year ago was told I didn't have it... so I have to call the hematologist on Monday.
