Hoping for some grads this week!
If you are a contributing member with a BFP this week, please share your success with us here.
How do you know if you're a contributing member?
1. Ask your heart.
2. Do these people know you? Will they be happy about your pregnancy?
3. Have you offered support to others or have you just blasted your own info out there?
4. Really, if you're a 1/1 or a 2/2 and it's not like you were around when you were benched or prior to TTC, maybe just move on. Even if you have participated daily for a month and offered tons of support. Sometimes the silence is kindest. Those of us who lurk BMBs, we'll see your intro and PM/comment/love tit.
5. Again, take a moment and step away from your excitement and ask your heart if posting would be potentially hurtful.

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!

If you have a post called out, please edit your offending post to add a note that you've been made aware of the rule and will keep it in mind in the future (if you are being asked to change wording due to unintentionally offensive phrasing, please remove that part of your post with a note of "EDIT: Removed offensive phrasing). Remember: this thread is not a tribunal. Continued arguments and defenses about a post have no place here and are considered off-topic. If you would like to make an argument for or against a rule, please create or update a META thread to discuss.

Anything else to add?

Re: TTGP Grad Thread- Week of 8-14
CD/DPO of first BFP? 32/10 (but a squinter at 9 DPO on a Wondfo that I assumed was an indent)
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 6 month since IUD removed, 3 cycles.
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU? PNV, Folate, Ubiquinol, DHA, RRL, Pom Juice, CM, temping (via Ava), Preseed, HIO
How was your timing? -3, -2
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I caught a cold at 6 DPO so nothing that I couldn't attribute to that (difficulty sleeping, extreme fatigue) other than my breastmilk production took a nose dive at 7 DPO (only an oz in 12 hours apart when I would normally get 3-4 oz). Last night at bedtime it felt like I was nursing a hungry piranha.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? So I had what I thought was an indent line on a Wondfo yesterday and showed it to hubbie who said he couldn't see anything at all. This morning I actually woke up before him (which is rare) so went into the bathroom to test then ran out yelling, "There's a second line for real this time!!" So much for my cute plan of buying DD a "big sister" shirt.
Anything else to add?
Do you ladies know how absolutely amazing you all are? Seriously. The unconditional support you offer each other is such a testament to the community you've built here and what a special place TTGP is. I'm so happy to be moving on but at the same time it's so bittersweet to not be able to be here with you ladies anymore. I'm literally tearing up thinking of it. I wish you all the best in the future and wherever life takes you. I will be lurking constantly and love titing everything.

You have been a great addition to the TTGP community and you will be missed ;)
@fishsticks-n-custard I couldn't be more happy for you, and to have you over in April with us! I'be been stalking the TWW pretty hard hoping that this would happen!

CD/DPO of first BFP? 28/11
my initial reaction was that it was negative. I'm using wandfo for the first time and it was so faint that I thought, oh that's just where the dye (or whatever it is) is stored, right? So I took out another one just to see if I could see where the lines were before dipping. I couldn't. Tiny bit of hope. So I figured, well this ones already open, might as well dip it too, right? Sure enough, that one showed a super faint line too, but a little more obvious than the first.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 5/4
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU? pnv, bbt, opk, cm, cp, hioooooo
How was your timing? -4 -3 -1 O +1, luckily FW fell perfectly between a vacation w/o MH and a work trip!
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? tatas getting a little fuller but that happens every cycle. I also had crazy vivid dreams last night all revolving around a positive HPT! I think that was just my crazy creeping into my subconscious.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I feel kinda bad not telling MH first but he was still sleeping when I left for work and he is not quick at waking up.
*TW* Last time TTC was so stressful (2 MC before DS) that I just showed him the test out of relief. It was exciting still but I want to think of something sweeter this time. DS just started saying "baby" when he sees them on TV. He already knows "mama" and "belly". Maybe I can get him to combine them somehow when MH gets home
Anything else to add? I don't think it's really set in yet. Maybe that's my PGAL brain trying to remain calm and not get too excited in case we meet disappointment again. But today I am pregnant (whoa) and that's really exciting!
I am super gracious and indebted to all the TTGP ladies here. The amount of information I've learned here has been beyond helpful in my TTC journey. I wish I had found this community earlier. But the real impact for me was being able to talk to women going through the exact same thing at the same time. I don't have the same support from friends who are not at this stage in life yet. They try, but they have no idea what CM, OPKs, or FW are. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I can't quit you, so love titties to come
ETA: I know there are a lot of you in TWW that are testing soon. GL and I hope to see this thread blow up with grads!!!
