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!

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)?
How are you going to/did you tell your partner?
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
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 3 ovulatory cycles, but trying in theory (between an-O cycles and Zika TTA time) for almost 10 months
What did your chart look like?
I O'd so late this cycle (cd 39). I had given up hope and assumed it was anovulatory. I was hanging in the benched thread until I randomly took an OPK at 11pm on CD 37 because of what felt like O pain. BD until OPKs went negative, confirmed O with BBT.
What were you doing TGKU? OPK, CM, Metformin, BBT, PNV, pre-seed
How was your timing? -1,O First time actually hitting O
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Really sore boobs and gas. I'm feeling a lot of cramping, which is REALLY scaring me. A LOT. I'm always nauseous and tired, so that wasn't new.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I told him this morning after I saw the line on the test. He was in bed and I was just like, "I'm not joking. I'm pregnant. I'm not joking" Because I joke about it ALL THE TIME. He didn't really react much. A chuckle maybe. He's in shock. I'm in shock. Complete and total disbelief.
Anything else to add? Well, I have to cancel my RE appt today for the best possible reason. I have anxiety and I'm absolutely terrified something will go wrong or there's been a mistake. I'm trying to be optimistic because I'm so happy. Thank you to everyone who has been there for me along the way. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the chart stalks and positive vibes I have gotten. I am 1000% sure I would not be KU without the insight and information you've shared over the last several months. Based on cd 1, I would be in the TTGP reg-filled Nov 17 BMB. Unfortunately, since O was so late, my EDD is Dec 8th. SO, I missed the cool Nov BMB by a hair lol! Thank you all again. FX so hard for all of you.

@somethingclever I am so happy for you!! congratulations!! Keep telling yourself you are pregnant. Cramping is totally normal, its just your uterus stretching and making room for your little bean. Hopefully you will be the start of an amazing Dec BMB!

@soemthingclever Oh my gosh! I was so surprised and THRILLED to see it was you that blew up the grad post after that mental health Monday post a while back! Congratulations!!!
I was hesitant to post here, because I've only contributed 3 times (intro earlier this month and two healthy habits) and I didn't want to look like one of the knobs that come onto these kinds of boards to flaunt their quick, easy journeys. I also didn't want to be a drive-by poster. Edited to remove my details, but didn't want to dirty delete.
@vvitchhazel While we are happy for anyone who gets their BFP, your initial thought was correct. This thread is for regular, contributing members. By posting here, you are doing exactly what you said you didn't want to do. You really should have just moved on to your BMB because your 3 posts did not get us invested in your journey especially because you NEVER ONCE posted in a daily thread and we know very little about you. GL in your pregnancy but please go with your gut next time because we didn't need a 1/1 SS rubbing it in our faces.

I also didn't want to be a drive-by poster. Stuck in box- So what made you decide to ignore all these inital thoughts about how you may look posting your 1/1 after only contributing 3 times?
@lululu1180, I tried to cut out the BFP details and keep the inflaming comment in case of dirty delete, and so others newbies might understand understand where the line might be drawn.

Ugh, this was not what I needed today. I usually stay pretty quiet on these things, but this one just really got to me...
Sooooo, let me get this straight. You knew it may be a bad idea for you to post here, but yet you still did it anyway??? I did not want to keep quoting the same line the others quoted, but you did exactly what you said you didn't want to do. Good luck to you, but next time maybe you should just stick with your gut.
That disappointment when you see the grad thread blow up for a second time that day and think another reg got their BFP, only to find out it was a SS.
I squealed because I saw it blow up too and then came in and was like WTAF. AND what makes it worse is knowing you didn't contribute, admitting you didn't, and throwing your 1/1 in our face. Just go to your BMB
