@heatherdubrow oh my effing god!!!! I was so hoping I was going to see your post here!!! Big hugs and all the love for an easy, happy and healthy 9 months!!
@jess0211@heatherdubrow Congrats! Those November ladies are going to be very lucky to have you! Fingers crossed for rising betas and boring pregnancies for you,
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@heatherdubrow YASSSSS girl!! I knew it was just too early!! Your story is so similiar to what H & I are going through right now, so I hope to join you one day soon in the "successful IVF story club". I wish you the best of everything
@slaven@jess0211@heatherdubrow I am SO HAPPY for all of you!!!!!!! Congrats and a H&H 9 months! Between all of you and @adirat, I think you can whip November into shape
Oh also @jess0211, my first beta was 30, and it's procedure to do a second beta just to make sure levels are increasing- regardless of the first number. 47 is totally normal!!!
@heatherdubrow Omg girl!!! So so so thrilled for you! With all you have gone through and all the support (and laughs) you've given me I could not be more thrilled. Plus now we can have ongoing Bravo conversations in November! Yes!!!
Words cannot express how insanely happy I am for you friend!!! I had all my fingers and toes crossed for this sticky bean. GL at your appointment Sunday I wish you the happiest and healthiest 9 months. Don't be a stranger! And start that VPR thread in November BMB with @adirat
@heatherdubrow omg!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you! And selfishly so excited to be sharing a BMB with you, @adirat, and @slaven! Fx crossed for good betas!
@bluejeanbabi05 thank you so much! Your feedback made me feel so much better this morning! We aren't telling anyone irl yet so I don't have anyone to bounce these concerns off of!
@heatherdubrow CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm sitting here crying happy tears for you!! I'm so happy you have your BFP treatment buddy!!! Wishing you the happiest and healthiest 9 months!!! Huge hugs, have fun sitting by the poo with a big ol grin!

@heatherdubrow I'm so happy for you!!! I love reading a successful outcome for an IF survivor! GAH I'm so jealous of the November board, so many great ladies from TTGP!
Me: late 30s | H: early 30s TTC #1 since April 2015 RE Dx: Fibroids, surgery Jan 2016 IUI #1 and #2, Nov/Dec 2016, BFN IVF March 2017: ER - 5R/3M/3F, 1 PGS normal Polyp removed May 2017 FET May 2017 - BFP! Baby boy born 2/2/18
CD/DPO of first BFP? Wondfo at 29/13, Wondfo & FRER this morning (30/14). I know a lot of people say this, but I really thought that I was out. I was going to test at 12 DPO but my temp dropped and I said "eff it." Last night before I showered I wanted to test just to know for sure that I was out so that I could start focusing on Cycle 8. Sure enough, there was a faint, but definitely there line on the wondfo.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 7/7
What did your chart look like? A hot, hot mess. See spoiler box.
What were you doing TGKU? Guise, I just relaxed and stopped thinking about it. LOLz j/k For real: Temping, CM/CP, PNV, CoQ10 (both of us), Green Tea, daily pep talks with my va-jay jay . I also just started acupuncture and had appointments at 4 DPO and 11 DPO.
How was your timing? -4,-2,-1,0,+1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I had a cold during the TWW, so it's difficult to know if some things were symptoms or just the cold. I've had dry mouth since 8 DPO. I initially chalked up to mouth breathing due to the cold... but it's still hanging around despite the cold being gone. My boobs started to get sore around CD 12. I've also had slight cramping on and off since CD 12. I also noticed that I had much more creamy CM after O than usual.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I retested this morning while he was at the gym. I tied notes to our dogs' collars that said "I'm going to be a big sister!" They always bum-rush him when he walks in the door, so he saw their collars. He walked into the kitchen with teary eyes and said "Are you serious??!" We hugged whilst the dogs tried to chew the notes off of their collars.
Anything else to add? *Possible TW* Reason #172430834023402 living with anxiety sucks: my brain keeps trying to convince me that this will not be a take home baby. The fact that my temps are above my CL, but still kind of low is really freaking me out. I'm going to call my gyn today and see if I can come in for a blood test. I think having those results (either way) would put my mind at ease. It gives me immense comfort to know that if this is not "it," I have this amazing community to which I can return and weather the storm. *End TW*
I am so unbelievably grateful that I stumbled on to this community. You all are the intelligent, witty, hilarious, gif-tastic sisters that I never had. I don't have any close friends who are TTC and my mother and I have an... interesting relationship -- this community has filled those voids, and then some. I do not know what I would have done without the guidance, support and honest-to-god belly laughs that I received here on a daily basis. I will be lurking like a mad-woman and cheering every single one of you on from afar.
@JulesDP congrats! Another awesome addition to the November BMB!!! Ahhh so excited for you! And I am having the same anxieties, feel free to PM me if you need to talk, vent, express anxiety etc!
@JulesDP congrats!!! Try not to get into your own head. I know easier said than done, I've done it. I hope you can get your blood work quickly to ease your mind. Heres to a happy and healthy 9 months
OMG I don't know how I missed all this happy news here! @slaven, @jess0211, @HeatherDuBrow, and @JulesDP - I couldn't be happier for you all! Each one of you have been such a fun member of TTGP and you will be missed! Fingers crossed for rising betas, completely uneventful pregnancies, and happy take home babies! Please keep us updated!!
