Re: Nah, nope, uh uh 1/30
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP?
2/2
What did your chart look like? don't chart
What were you doing TGKU?
CM, CB ovulation test, HIO, and being more aware of body
How was your timing?
-2, -1 (2x), O, 1, 3
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?
Gassy, cramps around 6 dpo, random nausea around the same time. Sore boobs.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner?
with DD1 I did this whole Shabang reveal, and he really expressed his desire to know when I know and not be "told." So after I POAS this morning (6am), I woke him up filming him, and he goes "uh-oh." I was like I think it's positive! He was happy
Anything else to add?
I took the test and at first it looked stark white. I knew from DD1 that sometimes it can take a few minutes when it's this early on, so I layed it down and got ready for work. When I went back and got it I went into some good lightening and tilted it. I could see the most faint line ever! As minutes went by it darkened. It's still so so so faint, but they say any faint is a positive! I'm testing more over the next few days to make sure it darkens.
Ps for those who want to know...I got my BFP while still drinking coffee, a beer occasionally, and both DH and I in the jacuzzi. So don't be too hard on yourself for doing it! It's possible!
I know now I came on this board defensive, but I have realized there is a method to it, and I'm so thankful for the support and help along the way. I'll be watching and rooting and praying for a good amount of you! To more BFPs!

But not all of us? Just a good amount [sic] of us?
Seriously why would you be insulting in your grad post? Especially if you KNOW that you had run-ins with people here? You're just being cruel and I don't understand why.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. *Removed for TOU Violation*

Could you be less gracious in your grad post?
Also, thanks for letting us all know how much you didn't give a crap and did things that others are avoiding (jacuzzi, coffee, alcohol) and still got a BFP after only 2 cycles. You're basically saying to relax and don't try as hard. If you've learned anything from this board, it should be that women here hate being told to "relax and let it happen"... ESPECIALLY from a 2/2 BFP.
Congrats. I hope you are more gracious on for BMB.

I NEVER said relax and let it happen. Its not always that simple. All i was saying, is it is possible so dont beat yourself up for it, as i have seen some do over the last two months. I want to help those who are killing themselves over it, so they can be easier on themselves.

thanks.

Three of us now have said to just go on to your BMB. I'm now saying it again. Please go on to your BMB. No need to keep responding here. No need to thank us for saying congrats. No need to defend yourself. Use the social context clues being given to you and recognize when you should exit the conversation.
Now, please, go to your bmb.

Though it is always absolutely frustrating and dispicable when women flounce in with their cycle 2/2, "I don't temp," "doesn't it give you hope to see how easily I got KU'd without even trying" speshul snowflake BFPs.... I still get great pleasure in knowing that the bump never forgets.
All the past members of this board lurk, and some of the current members of this board will be your future BMB mates. So, if you think you are just going slink off your BMB without anyone being the wiser then you may want to think again. If you honestly are going to go participate in a BMB then you should seriously consider apologizing to these ladies ASAP
That's really the biggest reason for the ire you're receiving. We have all noticed how your selective hearing works, and continuing to not apologize for the hugely insulting things you've said to our regs and members (myself included) does not go forgotten.

**lurking, siggy warning**
So...super happy that you're very aware of your body now, but it is also kind of important to be aware of the directions on an HPT. Because they are invalid outside of the time frame stated in the directions, so unless you "got ready for work" in 3-5 minutes, I'm not actually sure you can consider this a positive test?
My BFP at 10dpo did take "a few more minutes" but by that I mean "it took the whole 3 minutes and didn't show up immediately like it did at 4+ weeks," not "there was nothing after 3 minutes, but when I came back 30 minutes later I think there might have been a line."
I would honestly suggest testing again tomorrow morning with FMU and only trusting the test results WITHIN THE TIME FRAME STATED IN THE DIRECTIONS. I feel like this is a common cause of the semi-frequent "why are some of my HPTs positive and some are not" posts that we see on this and the first tri boards, which are against TOU.

She's condescending AND better than all of us.
It's like a dang train wreck I can't stop watching...
Not to mention- All the other newbie ladies that come here may or may not read said first post- but most of them do not continue to insist they're right due to ignorance and claiming "too many rules" (Which you still seem to have a problem with based on your post on the BMB) nor do they insult the regs when called out.
Congrats on your BFP, and I hope to join you on the BMB.. but you may want to work on your humility and accountability skills. We all make mistakes. Own them.
PS- Also... I've only been here 3 months.. and I haven't had any run-ins.. rules are not hard.

I will never understand the people that can't grasp that community forums like these are just that - a COMMUNITY. I would never just walk up to a group of women and start word-vomiting everywhere without first observing the social decorum.
And give me an effing break on the 2 cycle wisdom shit. Getting pregnant does not make you an expert, so please don't suggest that I'm having a difficult time because I'm being too hard on myself. How offensive.

Gone for a day and look what I miss! Yeah, hmm. I'm going to have to agree with everyone else. This was the expected reaction given the history. But I'm glad to know that I can keep drinking, and I'll try to be more aware of my body because lord knows I certainly haven't tried that yet! Also, when I was new...strangely enough, I just read the newbie guides and lurked, and lo and behold, no problems!
