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.
Re: TTGP Grad Thread w/o 7/16
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 10/9 - one break in there. *TW* I was briefly on the January 2019 board but had a blighted ovum at end of May *end TW*
What did your chart look like? oh boy was it ugly. in spoiler.
What were you doing TGKU? pnv, charting, temping, vit d, magnesium.
How was your timing? -4, -3
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? really some mild cramping, some fatigue, and my breasts felt a little heavy. you can see the breakdowns in the chart
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I pulled out the onesie I'd bought and used for our first announcement and put it on his bedside table with the positive test. He unfortunately woke up while I was out and so his reaction was anti-climactic, "So you're pregnant again..." was all he said. We're both going to be a little cautious until we see a bean on the ultrasound for sure.
Anything else to add? we have everything crossed that this bean will stick around. I had not been able to confirm O through temps so I thought I didn't ovulate and didn't take the supplemental progesterone. I immediately started and have waited to post since I've wanted to make sure the tests are getting darker. So far, so good.
I have no words for how amazing all of you ladies are. Each of you has been wonderful, supportive, funny, and caring. Special shout out to the TTCAL ladies and the long-time TTGPers - I'm pulling so hard for ALL of you to get your take home babies! I will be lurking hardcore on this board and TTCAL, and keeping everything crossed that you will get yours soon!

It turns out I made a mistake posting here even though my BMB isn't up yet because I haven't been contributing support long enough. I truly apologize to anyone I've hurt. I promise that I read all of the rules and the top of this post carefully, and in my heart I felt connected to this community and to everyone's success even though I had only been here for a little while. I didn't know how to leave a breadcrumb trail for interested lurkers about my testing results without the BMB available; in retrospect I should have just posted in the wrong BMB. I hope my now modified post serves as a warning to not post HERE unless you have been contributing for more than a month (or two or three), which is actually a rule, not a guideline. And together we can save a lot of hurt feelings. Again, I'm sorry.
