CD/DPO of first BFP?
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP?
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU?
How was your timing?
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?
I'm posting this cautiously. The line was faint, not squinter faint but it was still there. I feel like my nerves are on pins and needles right now!
CD/DPO of first BFP? 28/12
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 11/11, 1 AL
What did your chart look like? I was up for a couple of hours before my temping time so I couldn't get a temp this morning. Maybe it's a good thing so I don't stress over it. What were you doing TGKU? The exact same thing I've been doing that past 11 months. PNV, OPK, BBT, EOD/HIO, Preseed when needed.
How was your timing? -4, -3, -1, O
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I have none and so I'm worried. (I know it's normal not to have any right now) I do have some dull pre AF cramping and I noticed I haven't had any pre AF spotting.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? He knows already. I showed him this morning to make sure he could see a line and I wasn't just imagining one there.
Anything else to add? You ladies are the best! When I was down you knew exactly what to say. When I was discouraged you became my own positive cheerleading team. When I felt like I was going BSC you could pull back into reality. You have truly made these past few months wonderful. This is a great group of amazing ladies and I hope you all follow me with your BFPs!
Congrats @mispanda! I'll be thinking of you and crossing all my fingers and toes for that bean to stick and stick good! I wish you the most boring, happiest, and healthiest 9 months

Omg, omg, omg...I am freaking out. I am almost scared to post this, but here goes...
CD/DPO of first BFP? CD 23 / 12 DPO
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 6 months, 6 cycles, 4 TTCAL
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU? PNV, baby aspirin, pom juice, bbt, CM, pre-seed
How was your timing? -3, -1 and O
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?
Cramps/twinges started at 8 DPO and still happening...almost feels like AF is coming Hardly any CM, just a little bit of creamy or dry since O (normally have lots) Sore boobs on and off from 9-12 DPO Fatigue--took a 2 hour mid-day nap on 9DPO
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I did something cute last time, but didn't want to wait this time. So I asked if he could look at something for me. I showed him the wondfo and asked if he could see two lines. He said, "yes, but the other is faint." I said...any line there means a positive. He said, "don't get too excited yet, you can't be sure since it isn't dark." I said, "well, today I am pregnant." Not the most exciting conversation, but I think he is scared just like I am.
Anything else to add?
I am just trying to breath and relax. I am still so scared right now. The line is faint (not a squinter), but I only did a 3 hour pee hold this afternoon...so I plan to re-test tomorrow morning. DH wants to get a "pregnant" or "not pregnant" test to confirm. I am so so so scared that this may not be a sticky bean. But so far, this pregnancy already feels different and I can "feel it" in terms of symptoms, so I am praying so hard it can stick. I am debating asking my OB to draw blood tomorrow or Thursday to make sure betas are on track.
I just want to say thank you so much to all of you ladies who have been amazing over the last 6 months. I know everyone says this, but I really appreciated the ability to come on the boards, vent when needed, learn about all of your lives, hopefully provide support and creepy internet hugs when possible. I would not have got through some of my darkest TTC moments or learned as much as I did without many of you. I am so hoping many more of you join us on the November boards and get your BFPs soon. I am excited to join @adirat@heatherdubrow@mispanda and the other ladies who graduated!
I mean this in the nicest way possible, I really hope I don't have to join this board again in the near future. Not that I don't love hanging with you ladies, but I am really hoping this baby sticks!
@dragonfly87 Girl, today you are pregnant. Big congratulations to you and DH !!! All the thoughts sent your way and praying for a boring as hell 9 months !!!!!
