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*
Well, I’m cautiously posting here due to my history of losses.
CD/DPO of first BFP? Around 10-11 dpo, I wasn’t temping, so this is based off of OPKs.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? Since June, so 4 months. I participated mostly in TTCAL and the dailies.
What did your chart look like? No chart since I wasn’t temping.
What were you doing TGKU? PNVs, pressed when needed, OPKs, cm, and cp.
How was your timing? It was pretty good considering I had a nasty cold. (4, -2, and -1)
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I have major bloating going on and I’ve been snapping at DH for the last couple of days. Basically PMS symptoms on steroids.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? Due to our previous losses, he asked me to never do anything cute or special when I tell him. But this morning when he came back from a run I told him he needs to keep it up so that he healthy when this baby comes around, then I showed him the test (which is super faint right now). We are both a little hesitant right now, but I’m trying to be optimistic.
Anything else to add? I can’t even begin to say thank you to all the ladies on TTGP. You all have been so supportive, especially the ladies on the TTCAL thread. I consider you all my friends and hope to see you all graduate soon! **creepy internet hugs**
@ChloandCoco I know I've only been here a month or so, but I feel like I've gotten to know you and I'm so happy for you! Praying this is your rainbow baby! Woohoo!!

Guys, I'm hoping it is happening for real this time! I was going to wait until Monday after my second beta but @chloandcoco and I made a pact to be brave CD/DPO of first BFP? 21/8 (or 21/9 depending on whether you believe me or FF). I had a vvvfl on an FRER on Thursday and that very day we were scheduled for our RE follow-up. My RE and I went back and forth on whether we should do a beta given how ridiculously early it was and we did it and my hCG was 4.9! Jeeze. But I have since had some darkening lines and turned an FRER digi this morning.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 7/6. This is both my 4th and 2nd cycle AL.
What did your chart look like? It is honestly the least attractive chart I've had since I began charting. I have still been temping but may stop soon. FF and I also disagreed for the first time on O day, FF says CD13, I say CD12. I am going with what FF says for "counting" going forward just to make it easier.
The last three temps - I took my temp early two days (kept waking up early) and then an hour late this am.
What were you doing TGKU? The usual stuff plus ubiquinol (started 300 mg in late June, moved up to 600 in the form of ubiquinone a few weeks ago), baby aspirin, also recently added Vitamin D, Vitamins B6 and B12, and I started using progesterone suppositories this cycle post-ovulation. (TW Keep in mind the majority of this stuff is due to my loss history and RPL workup with our RE end TW). Oh, also, I had my HSG on CD5 of this cycle.
How was your timing? -5, -3, -1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I have been having "pregnancy" symptoms since I started using the progesterone - occasional mild nausea, swollen boobs, some fatigue, so it's hard to say for sure that I have any symptoms. I will say that this morning I woke up and I felt like I had a hangover - I have never been so happy to feel like crap. I also have had extreme fatigue a couple times, including today. I don't know why, this is kind of wu-wu, but I just feel very confident about this pregnancy. Doesn't mean the PGAL brain won't creep in, but for now I am excited and optimistic that this is going to be our take-home rainbow baby.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I used a photo editing app to write text on a photo of my niece that said "[Niece's name] expected to be the big cousin in June, 2018." I woke him up on Thursday morning and told him I had to show him a picture of my niece.
Anything else to add? Ladies, it has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of this community. So many times I didn't feel like anyone in my life really understood what was going on with me and our TTCAL situation, but when I turned to you I got the best support and felt so much less alone. I am hoping not to come back for a long while, but I will be stalking you and rooting for you. My IF and TTCAL ladies especially, you have my heart and I cannot wait to hear good news from all of you!
@zamora_spin congrats!!!!!!!!! H&H 9 months to you!!! Wow, what a crazy month -- I once read that men are more fertile in late summer/early fall (I definitely laughed it off as an old wive's tale) but.......
Re: TTGP Grad Thread Week of 10/9

I was going to wait until Monday after my second beta but @chloandcoco and I made a pact to be brave
CD/DPO of first BFP? 21/8 (or 21/9 depending on whether you believe me or FF). I had a vvvfl on an FRER on Thursday and that very day we were scheduled for our RE follow-up. My RE and I went back and forth on whether we should do a beta given how ridiculously early it was and we did it and my hCG was 4.9! Jeeze. But I have since had some darkening lines and turned an FRER digi this morning.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 7/6. This is both my 4th and 2nd cycle AL.
What did your chart look like? It is honestly the least attractive chart I've had since I began charting. I have still been temping but may stop soon. FF and I also disagreed for the first time on O day, FF says CD13, I say CD12. I am going with what FF says for "counting" going forward just to make it easier.
What were you doing TGKU? The usual stuff plus ubiquinol (started 300 mg in late June, moved up to 600 in the form of ubiquinone a few weeks ago), baby aspirin, also recently added Vitamin D, Vitamins B6 and B12, and I started using progesterone suppositories this cycle post-ovulation. (TW Keep in mind the majority of this stuff is due to my loss history and RPL workup with our RE end TW). Oh, also, I had my HSG on CD5 of this cycle.
How was your timing? -5, -3, -1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? I have been having "pregnancy" symptoms since I started using the progesterone - occasional mild nausea, swollen boobs, some fatigue, so it's hard to say for sure that I have any symptoms. I will say that this morning I woke up and I felt like I had a hangover - I have never been so happy to feel like crap. I also have had extreme fatigue a couple times, including today. I don't know why, this is kind of wu-wu, but I just feel very confident about this pregnancy. Doesn't mean the PGAL brain won't creep in, but for now I am excited and optimistic that this is going to be our take-home rainbow baby.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I used a photo editing app to write text on a photo of my niece that said "[Niece's name] expected to be the big cousin in June, 2018." I woke him up on Thursday morning and told him I had to show him a picture of my niece.
Anything else to add? Ladies, it has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of this community. So many times I didn't feel like anyone in my life really understood what was going on with me and our TTCAL situation, but when I turned to you I got the best support and felt so much less alone. I am hoping not to come back for a long while, but I will be stalking you and rooting for you. My IF and TTCAL ladies especially, you have my heart and I cannot wait to hear good news from all of you!
@zamora_spin I’m so happy you decided to post!! FX you get to take home your rainbow baby!!
