Re: TTGP Grad Week 2/06
CD/DPO of first BFP? 34/9 DPO
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 5/4
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU? PNV/OPK/Saliva fern test/BBT/CM. Drank Traditional Medicinals Healthy Cycle tea during folicular phase. (I have no evidence, but thought it might have delayed O- I stopped drinking it for one day and go a positive OPK. Could be complete coincidence though.)
How was your timing? EOD once fertile CM was sustained. 0, -2, -4
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Normal LP/AF symptoms. Light cramps started 5DPO and very light breast soreness starting 6DPO- very typical for me. They never felt "heavy" like usual though.. but nothing that would have raised suspicion. What DID peak my curiosity was I had blood in the sink when I brushed my teeth- I have never seen this since I started tracking my cycle. It only lasted for two days though (7-8DPO). On 8 DPO the BSC overcame me and I tested knowing full well I was being stupid. BFN- but did have an evap line later when I looked at it. Started feeling a little gassy on 9DPO and CM was tinged brown, so thought I was probably out. Took a test for the hell of it (late.. after the Superbowl) and saw a VERY ghost-like faint line on the Wondfo within the time limit. Decided to sleep on it, thinking I might be seeing things. Temperature was still high on 10DPO (I have a short LP.. 9-11 days) took another test.. again ghost faint line- but definitely a line. Decided not to post yesterday b/c I wanted to hold off and see if it would get darker. Picked up some FRERs and tested as soon as I got home- a light line, but it's no squinter- it's there! Did another Wondfo- and the line IS darker than the morning's. BFP!!!
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I had ordered a book back in our first month TTC called "Dad's Guide to Pregnancy for Dummies". After I took the FRER and confirmed there was a real line I was seeing, I casually walked over to him in the kitchen as he was getting out dinner and said "hey, I got you something". He looked at the book, read the title and said- "Why are you giving me this?" I took out the positive FRER test and showed him and he said "Are you kidding me????!!! Are you sure!?!?!?!" and gave me the biggest hug!
Anything else to add?
I'm kind of nervous at this point. I woke up this morning w/ stronger AF-like cramps and heavier spotting, though both seem to have subsided for now. My temp this morning was also lower- though still above cover line. My test this morning was not darker than last night. Again I have a short LP and today's pretty much the limit. I'll prob test again with the FRER tomorrow to see if the line is getting darker, and I think I'm going to hold off on calling the Dr until at least 14 DPO, just to be sure it's sticking.
Thank you ladies for letting me hang out with you these past few months. It truly has done me a world of good to have people who can relate to this crazy TTC journey. It can be very isolating when you aren't talking about it with friends/family and your DH just doesn't understand. Wishing the best and fastest BFPs for all of you lovely and more than deserving women. I'll be lurking and rooting you all on!

I see you @crazypuglady! Congratulations!!!
CD/DPO of first BFP? 27/11
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 14/14 total.
What did your chart look like? Since I don't temp, my chart isn't very interesting....
What were you doing TGKU? PNV, cutting back on booze, Advanced OPKs
How was your timing? -3, -1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? **TW because I reference comparing how I feel now to previous pregnancies**
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I got no sleep last night because I was so excited for #PeePactThursday. I finally took the test at 6am, and H didn't wake up until 6:45. I looked at him and said "Do you think 3rd time is a charm?" and waved the test in front of his face. Of course, he's a man and didn't know what I was waving at him so I had to explain it to him. He got really excited at first, but then you could see him already start to put up walls to not get hurt again.
Anything else to add? I normally would have waited a day or so, but I didn't want to just ignore The Bump on Pee Pact Thursday and I didn't want to lie. While the line was faint, it wasn't a squinter, so keep your fingers crossed for me. I was surprised my dr doesn't want to see me until next week for beta draws.
ETA - I really wish some of my pee pact ladies were coming with me!!
and
I really can't express enough for thankful I am to have found you ladies. We may be snarky, but we are fierce. I have learned so much from you and I have appreciated you guys being there to help me, and everyone, through this journey. Especially on a tragic week like this week, it's been amazing to see the community this board has built!!
