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").

If you would like to make an argument for or against a rule, please create or update a META thread to discuss.
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)?
CD/DPO of first BFP? I had what I am positive was an evap on 5DP5DT... I looked after the time limit is up, so I am not certain it was there before that, but I decided not to call it. on the morning of 6DP5DT, I had another squinter, but within the time limit. By that evening, it had darkened and continued to darker as days passed. I had a beta today, and I'm calling it. Officially official. Beta was 59. Is this even real life? Like, I have to keep doing reality checks. "No, Kristo, nothing you could have done would have caused positive BFPs and a good beta" I feel like someone is going to pop up and be like "You can't just dunk your test in! You have to spin three times, stand on your head and dunk it on a full moon, otherwise it'll give you a false positive! Duh!"
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? Ugh. This was my 45th cycle TTC. We started TTC September 2014. It's been so freaking long. There were a few losses in that time frame, but they were pre-TB days.
What did your chart look like? Non-existent. I didn't chart since this was a FET month.
What were you doing TGKU? IVF with the full-blown immune protocol, mixed with a lot of prayers, support holding me up, and tears.
How was your timing? PERFECT! That transferred the embaby on the exact day they should have!
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? It's hard to say. I'm on progesterone, so I would blame any symptoms on that. The only symptoms I had after a BFP, but not before, is horrible heartburn starting on 6DP5DT, and also leg cramps starting the same day. Today I feel a little sick, but I think that was the anxiety and anticipation of betas....
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? H was at work when I tested. I knew I wouldn't see him for a few days (opposite schedules), so I just texted him and told him to call, that I had a PIO question. It was the first time he wasn't there to give it to me, so I needed help, when he called and asked what my issue was, I just asked him how he felt about giving me the shots for several weeks, instead of the couple more days we anticipated. He caught on immediately and I cried. For the thousandth time.
Anything else to add? Guys. You have no idea (okay you probably do have an idea) what it feels like to be posting here. I have watched how many friends from TTGP post here and move on, several coming back to do the same again. And nothing has made me happier. I have LOVED watching this thread fill with so many amazing, deserving women. But at the same time, I have so much hurt in my heart, because someone was always left behind. And that was me, but it also has been so many of my dear IF friends. And so yeah, a big part of this is the whole "I love TTGP, ya'll rock, I hope you graduate soon" like everyone posts here. And that's so true. Ya'll do rock, and I am rooting for you.
But it's so, so, so much more. To my IF ladies: As FUCKING AMAZING as it is to FINALLY get to post here, I also HATE that it's me and not you too. And for that, guys, I am so, so sorry. I am SO sorry that I get to post and you can't today. I know ya'll are going to respond with your love, but I also know it always hurts, even if just a tiny bit. And I'm not mad about that, I expect it. But I am so sorry. I wish I could take you with me, I really do. Keep your head up, ladies. I truly believe anything is possible, and you know I will never stop lurking, loving, and praying for you guys.

@KristoKekerooni girl. I know how terribly long and painful this journey has been for you. Yet you've always ALWAYS showed support when your friends are down, and excitement when they got their BFPs, including mine. I am so So SOOOOO happy for you!!!!!!!! This baby bee is one lucky, blessed little bean having you as their mama. Wow. Imagine being so loved years and years before you're born. I'm so fucking happy for you words cannot even express. CONGRATULATIONS KristoB, I couldn't possibly be more excited right now!
