Re: TTGP Grads Week of Feb 27
CD/DPO of first BFP? 25/12
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 6
What did your chart look like? Wasn't charting
What were you doing TGKU? We continued to BD during FW even after my sex drive dropped. I think I O'd after that decrease in sex drive so probably had better timing.
How was your timing? -4 through -1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Same as my PMS symptoms but I started noticing weird smells which clued me in. I tested after someone in the TWW thread suggested it. I thought it would be negative. 3 home tests on Monday plus this morning's (Wednesday here) test at the drs confirmed it.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I just had them on the counter when he came home from work.
Anything else to add? I was going to wait until the new thread is posted but the Nov. BMB is up and I wanted to post here before I post there.
I've loved being on this board with everyone but I'm so excited to leave. I honestly was at the point that I was researching adoption. It's only been 6 cycles but to me it took forever.

Baby #4 on the way!
So this is happening...
CD/DPO of first BFP? (we won't talk about my little mishap on DPO 7/8)
First BFP 28/10
DPO 10 in the evening light positive on FRER and old Wondfo
DPO 11 in the morning positive on digi FRER and positive Hcg. I am nervous because my Hcg was 47 and the doctor wants me to come back on Friday for another test to make sure it's increasing. That makes me feel like something is wrong...but I am trying to be positive!

Ho many months/cycles had you been TTGP? This was our 5th month, I guess technically 6 but I never counted the first month since I've been on this board
What did your chart look like? As you all know I didn't do much this month because of DH's surgery, so there's really nothing to see.
What were you doing TGKU? This month we were just HIO as much as possible around DH's surgery and I did OPKs for a couple days but stopped because of DH's surgery. For the record, we didn't use a syringe, haha
How was your timing? It was pretty good considering, assuming FF is correct in O date.
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I always have sore breasts after O, just on the side, but this month they were so very painful for the last week. Otherwise I have just had normal AF symptoms, light cramping, headache, acne. I did have more creamy CM compared to normal. I know so many people say this but honestly I thought I was out this cycle. It's been such a stressful month with DH's surgery and all the family issues I've been so blah and pessimistic!
How are you going to/did you tell your partner?
Oh my gosh. So I got up super early this morning and took a digital because I didn't believe the positive yesterday. I kept remembering what you ladies always say, "A line is a line!" but I just couldn't bring myself to believe it. DH always makes our commuting cups of coffee in the morning while I am getting dressed, so this morning while he was in the shower I wrote a little note that said, "Decaf for me! Happy Early Birthday!" (his bday is Sunday, I couldn't wait like I had planned!) and put the tests and little Ohio State (his fav team) baby booties next to the coffee cups. He didn't believe it! He kept saying, "Are you sure this isn't a false positive?" He was in complete shock. When we got to work he gave me a big hug and kiss and said he was excited but terrified. haha. We aren't telling anyone else for awhile though.
Anything else to add?
I am freaking out. I am terrified this isn't real and almost didn't post today but felt like I was keeping something from you ladies who have been so amazing and whom I have come to truly adore. I know everyone says it, but you ladies are so incredible. I felt so safe in this forum and I wish nothing less than the absolute best for you! You are my soul sisters!

@jess0211 OMG I'm so excited! We're going to be BMB buddies! Fingers and Toes crossed for good Beta numbers. When I went in for my "official" pee test I was so worried it would be negative. H&H 9 months to you too.
