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. If you would like to make an argument for or against a rule, please create or update a META thread to discuss.

What were you doing TGKU? BBT, CM, OPKs, CoQ10, Baby Aspirin
How was your timing? -3, -2, -1, O
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Metallic taste, exhaustion, sore breasts, and spotting all starting around 8 dpo.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I tested May 16th but decided to wait until the 17th to tell him because it was our five year anniversary. The second I woke up I rolled over in bed and said “Happy five years, baby. I’m pregnant!”
Anything else to add? *TW LOSS* It’s so nerve-wracking posting here. Part of me feels like I’m jinxing myself by posting about it, but I didn’t want to leave without telling you all just how much I adore you and to thank you for the support I have received. I will be lurking TTGP and hope to see more grads soon! A special shout out to the women of TTCAL (current members and grads). I would be an honest wreck without you. You have lifted me up so many times and have helped me to understand that a loss is a loss and not to feel like I have to justify my emotions. Without all of you, I would have been beating myself up every day for feeling so broken. I love you all and am so hopeful that you will get your rainbows.

@eleven_ Yay!!! Crying all the happy tears over here. I am overjoyed for you. Sending you the biggest congratulations and hoping and praying this is your rainbow.
Congratulations @eleven_ !!! We love you too! I am also hoping and praying for this to be your rainbow It's so sweet how you told your husband. And I'm also glad that I won't have to stalk yet another bmb
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.
