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 if you have contributed positively here.
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, maybe just move on. Even if you have participated daily for one month and offered tons of support. Sometimes the silence is kindest. Those of us who lurk BMBs will 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.

This thread has mild restrictions - thread is primarily BFP announcements but doesn't allow for direct questions or lengthy/personalized congrats in the comments. Use the "Love It" button or "congrats!", "H&H 9 months!", "I was hoping this was your month!" and other short & sweet notes.
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!
When you see somebody who has possibly violated a guideline of this thread, please quote the section of these guidelines and include a callout to the poster, but keep snark to a minimum. 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.

Re: TTGP Grad Thread w/o 12/25
POAS much??? Lol
<b>How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? </b> 31 Months<b>
</b>
<b>What did your chart look like? </b> Lots of SS...

</div>
<b>What were you doing TGKU? TL; DR FET2
</b>After about 5 or 6 months technically NTNP, (we were totally trying but were also still finishing up a cross-country move and didn't always have the best timing)... I joined the Bump and we officially tried another three months before seeing the doctor. Our first clinic practised NaPro Fertility Medicine, so I learned Creighton method and had another six months almost of testing for me before finally getting an SA, and dx of azoospermia confirmed on repeat.
We plodded through all the testing for him, and came back with no known genetic cause for his condition, apart from missing vas deferens, which took the fifth doctor to find immediately on exam, if you can believe that. We started him on about three months of Clomid for good measure, followed miraculously by a successful MESA / TESE sperm retrieval in July for DH. During that time, I also went out and got a job that offerred amazing IVF coverage, without which the rest of our treatment would not have been possible, or at least not so soon. I had two IVF cycles, a polypectomy, and, ***TW***
<b>
</b><div class="Spoiler">after our first frozen embryo transfer in November ended in a CP</div><b>
</b>We finally got our BFP!!!<b>
</b>
<b>How was your timing? </b> Awesome. DH couldn't be there this time for the transfer because he was getting my mom from the airport. But just after it happened, I checked my phone and he texted he had just driven by the clinic! So in a way, he was there; perfect timing... ;)
<b>What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? </b>
I have been sick with a bad cough / cold that started as a sore throat 1dp5dt. So any fatigue or anything has been mostly masked by that. Some usual cramping or pulling or twinges that are easy to SS, but 6dpt and 7dpt I had some pinkish spotting, which I didn't have the first time. So that was encouraging / made me a little nervous, too.
But I could swear, Christmas Day, after most of the company had left, I was just sitting by myself and suddenly felt gassy and crampy for several minutes, (that was 3dp5dt), and then started seeing faint lines two days later, so maybe that was something? Other than that, I'm just super bloated and feeling the odd little pinch.
<b>How are you going to/did you tell your partner? </b> I broke out the Mom / Dad mugs again once I saw the first line, and he liked seeing the progression as the lines got darker. He will be skeptical till he sees the second beta, but first one came back at 245, so he knows it's real! For now at least... *typos
<b>Anything else to add? </b> I just love you guys, and it is absolutely bittersweet to be moving on from TTGP. This has been my home for the past two plus years, and I would not have gotten through it all without the love and support of the community we've built here.

Congratulations!!! I started lurking TTGP about 2 years ago and joined the IF thread shortly after that.

You've shown us all the true definition of grace under pressure. So happy that it's your time!
