May 2019 - surprise natural pregnancy ended in MC Nov 2019 FET; MC at 9 weeks May 2020 FET; BFN July 2020 FET; CP treated with methotrexate Oct 2020 BFP!
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 6/6 TTCAL... started TTC in July after a MC in February
What did your chart look like? I was very minimal on temping this month...CD8 until after O was confirmed. Plus I don't have VIP (PS: my temps are least so low overall which always worried me so SO to other low temp ladies!) (PPS: I was also worried about not as much cm as usual this cycle, especially EWCM)
What were you doing TGKU? BBT, PNV, DHA/EPA, vit D, Maca, Ubiquinol, cm/cp, opk, BD...this was first full cycle on ubiquinol but most everything else was the same. H had maca during my FW to help with finishing
How was your timing? -2, 0, 1 (if O date was correct...)
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Oh boy. I basically was excited about my lack of symptoms; in that my boobs didn't start hurting until 9dpo. I know symptoms before implantation can't really be symptoms but I was very emotional by about 3dpo. I kind of just felt better than usual in the later days of TWW...didn't feel as grumpy/PMS-y but thought it might just be the holidays lol Was VERRRY tired tho but also thought it could be from doing more. Also have been peeing a lot but because of IC I sometimes do in TWW.
Those that were following know I tested on Christmas morning and nothing showed right away but later had an evap with color and got all excited but then got a Boxing Day BFN. I tested again yesterday morning (at 330 in the morning!!!) and had a faint line well within the 5min limit but I still didn't trust it. However, don't recommend testing at 330am because then I couldn't fall back asleep! I went out and bought a FR digital because I couldn't handle any more line drama. Managed to hold pee for 3.5hrs. I was so so nervous staring at that clock blinking waiting for the result but it was a YES!
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? Because of the Christmas morning test I had put the small bottle of Crown and the baby onesie that said "Future Lumberjack Like My Daddy" (he's a forestry engineer and I call him my sexy lumberjack) in a Christmas bag, wrapped in paper. When I got the YES, I came out of the bathroom and told him I forgot to give him a present and went to get the bag. When he opened and read the onesie he thought it was cute and I pulled the test out of my pocket and my hand was shaking! He was surprised and excited and has been really sweet
Anything else to add? I honestly am so surprised and happy but so incredibly scared! I had some ute cramping and low back pain yesterday and it made me nervous even tho I know it can be normal, PGAL brain is hard. I wanted to say also that H's SA said 100% abnormal morphology, which was pretty upsetting but after reading about it and words from some of the IF ladies, found that it might not be as extreme as it sounds but still thought it would take a lot longer. I guess I'm just trying to encourage any other ladies who might be freaked out by the abnormal morphology! Oh! And also I'm 99% sure we did oral all 3 times in FW even tho I was so freaked out by the saliva causing a problem but decided to not worry about it this cycle and just have good sex lol
Okay I think that's all lol Except of course that I need to thank all of the TTGP ladies I genuinely care for all of you and am so grateful for this community and all the knowledge I have gained and how welcome and accepted you all have made me feel!!!
Did I mention I'm scared?! Trying to take it moment by moment and remain hopeful!!!
I love you and wish for all your BFPs and take home babies!
(sorry for some bold and some not, I can't figure it out and I have a pretty awful headache right now so I hope I worded everything okay!!!)
@rainbowturtles I was hoping so hard for you since you said your "evap" had color and they shouldn't have color!!! Congrats cycle buddy, I hope this bean is super sticky

What were you doing TGKU? this was my first month BBT and using OPKs, tracking!
How was your timing? pretty good! -5,-1 and O
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? my biggest symptom has been sore boobs! They have been so sore for so long and how exhausted I have been!
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? he was there with me while we waited the three minutes! Now it will just be figuring how to tell our parents!
Anything else to add? thank you so much to all the ladies here who helped me really understand the temping aspect this month!
