Okay, @lulu1180 convinced me to post here. I didn't originally because I cannot compare my journey to so many others here. I'm so, so, grateful for everyone on TTGP - I've learned so much from you, appreciate your support and insight, and wish everyone the best.
CD/DPO of first BFP? I'm not 100% sure how to answer this. I got a BFP on what I thought was DPO14, but @meatballs37 seems to think that I Od on CD15, not CD12 as FF claims. I tested on Friday (supposed DPO11) and I thought it was negative, but after dumpster driving for it yesterday, it was, in fact, a pos - definitely wasn't an evap line. I think that I read the results too early and chucked it.
How many months/cycles had you been TTGP? 6/5
What did your chart look like? In spoiler
What were you doing TGKU? Tracking CP/CM/BBT and using Wondfo OPKs. I tried to eat as clean as I could and added extra VitC in the form of Camu Camu powder in my morning green smoothie). I added Emerita Pro-gest (OTC progesterone cream) this month after confirmed O since my previous LPs had been on the shorter side and I had a lot of spotting. I have no idea if it, in fact, made a difference or not. I also tried to get as much good sleep as possible.
How was your timing? -3, -2, -1
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Nothing to write home about, honestly. I had some light cramping. Hindsight is 20/20 I suppose, because I felt like I smelled really bad last week. I kept taking showers and reapplying deodorant. I chalked it up to it still being hot as Hades down here.
Also, I didn't get my intense craving for chocolate and ice cream that I usually do.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I did! "I f****** knew it!" Then he initiated N&C which was very unexpected.
Anything else to add? Just that I'm so sorry to leave you all. I've really come to love hanging out here with you guys. You know I'll be lurking and love titting the crap out of you all. I'm rooting for you and am just a PM away.
@harrierwife congrats!!! And if your test was actually positive on 11dpo I retract my theory on a later O date! So excited to see you over in June!
