oh em gee what a freaking amazing grad thread! I'm so happy for all you ladies. @tennis11785@pinky917@breezybee and everyone else, congrats!! @wabash15 I'll just tag you again too, because there might be multiples in there
Wow, I didn't check this board for a day and when I come back, it's BFP central here. Congrats to all of you ladies and it's going to be an amazing December BMB board!
@MJDsquared@Pinky917 yay congrats to you both!! The fact that mobile gif is still down and doesn't allow me to properly express my excitement is upsetting!! Btw @MJDsquared anyone that can have sex that many straight days in a row when theyve been actively TTC deserves an award!
I caved y'all. Beta on Wednesday but I think this is for real.
CD/DPO of first BFP? 10dp5dt
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 2 years What did your chart look like? Didn't temp this cycle What were you doing TGKU? I did an FET of our one and only pgs tested 6BB embryo. How was your timing? Uh pretty good I guess!
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Oof. It's so hard to say what is a pregnancy symptom and what is from the progesterone. I've had an insatiable hunger since 6dp5dt. Maybe progesterone symptoms: cramps, sore boobs, sensitive nipples, lower back pain and I'm super emotional.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? Last night he told me that he had hidden all of the pregnancy tests. So this morning I woke up and asked him where the tests were. Because i really wanted to pee on a test. The only test I had that wasn't expired was a digital so he watched the test while I anxiously waited. When the results showed up he made a face that I thought was sad but then he said "it says your pregnant." Naturally I called him a liar and told him to shut up. He told me it was for real, we are really pregnant. And cried. And then I did a weird half cry half laugh half yell. He just kept saying over and over again that we're going to be parents. He also handed me the test and said "you finally got your BFP!" Y'all. He said bfp. So cute.
Oh and he thought the weeks estimater meant we were having 1-2 babies.
Anything else to add?
This board is the best. I really am sad that I can't mobile gif but I don't know that I would have made it through infertility without the amazing women here. I went into treatment armed with so much more knowledge, information and courage than I would have without you. I will continue to lurk and will always be around for support and to flame assholes. So much love for all the ladies here, but especially for everyone on the IF thread.
