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!
When you see somebody who has possibly violated a guideline of this thread, please quote the section of these guidelines and include a callout to the poster, but keep snark to a minimum as these rules can be subject to opinion. If you have a post called out, please edit your offending post to add a note that you've been made aware of the rule and will keep it in mind in the future (if you are being asked to change wording due to unintentionally offensive phrasing, please remove that part of your post with a note of "EDIT: Removed offensive phrasing). Remember: this thread is not a tribunal. Continued arguments and defenses about a post have no place here and are considered off-topic. If you would like to make an argument for or against a rule, please create or update a META thread to discuss.
CD/DPO of first BFP?

What were you doing TGKU?
How was your timing?
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?

Anything else to add?
Me 27 DF 44 TTC post VR Sept 21/16 SA 6 weeks post op 50.7 mil count 40% motility
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Have had some twinges/tugging the last couple days (7-9dpo), headache yesterday (8dpo), tired for last few days but that could also be work related, woke up super thirsty and dry mouth last 2 days (8-9dpo). Overall nothing super abnormal that I really raised an eyebrow at.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I broke down and tested when I got home from work tonight and there was a faint line on a wondfo. I knew H wouldn't believe that so I made up a reason to go to the store to get a digital (clear blue). I wrapped up the Digi with a mug I had made for him that says "the man behind the bump" and told him his last birthday present showed up today (his bday was Tuesday). He thought the Digi was a highlighter. Sigh. Then he actually read it and got really excited.
Anything else to add? I am so incredibly grateful for all of you super intelligent women. I didn't even know temping or charting or opks were a thing before lurking TTGP while we were TTA. We would not have accomplished this without your collective incredible knowledge and I appreciate it more than I can articulate. I love the snark, the community, the hilarious gifs, and the genuine care and support that each of you bring to this board. I wish each and every one of you healthy pregnancies as soon as possible and I will be rooting hard for all of you.
