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.
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)?
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)?
I had back pain in the am, right after getting out of bed DPO’s 10+ which seemed weird. I also got pretty tired in the afternoon on DPO 12 & 13. My teeth also feel like I ate a crap ton of sugar...but that’s just odd and who know wtf that is.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner?
**TW - LO mentioned**
I POAS Tuesday night when I got home from work, saw the faint line, freaked the f*ck out, grabbed DS and put him in a “Best Brother in the Universe” shirt and immediately frogmarched (gently of course!) him out to DH in the living room. DH wasn’t paying much attention and asked “Why did you change his shirt? Did he poop on it?🤣” Annnnnnd then and it clicked, he knew exactly what was going on and he smiled and I cried.
Anything else to add?
I can’t even express in words how truly special every single one of you are. I am full of joy and sadness as I am writing my swan song. It truly is breaking my heart that I have to leave you, but I sincerely hope that all of you will get to leave and join me so soon!! (no really, come visit all the time! SMEPtember might be great, but it has nothing on TTGP. THIS is truly the best board on here and I am blessed that I got to know many of you on a more personal level. I already miss each and everyone of you. I’ll be lurking and love titting like a super creeper pretty much everyday until everyone I recognize has left.
Remember if you’re ever having a tough day, I’m only a PM away and I can supply you with some SoCal sunshine! 😎
I love you all! (And I really miss you already...)
Congratulations @lillywonderland!! I sincerely hope you have a fabulous (and boring) 9 months ahead of you! *waives goodbye from NorCal*

@lillywonderland This is so exciting! I'm so happy for you that you're finally getting to post in here I hope that you have a healthy and extremely boring 39/40 weeks. One of the things I always noticed about you on TTGP is your awesome sense of humor. S19 is lucky to have you!
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.

@lillywonderland AHHHHHHHHHHHHH YAYYYYY! I am so so excited to see this! I was so hopeful for you this week! EEEKKK. Congratulations and here is a boring, happy and healthy next 9 months!
What did your chart look like? Didn't chart during the TWW because of progesterone.. There was no point
What were you doing TGKU? Prometrium, CM, CP, OPK
How was your timing? -3, -1, 0
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Nothing that I can't for sure claim wasn't because of the progesterone or the significant decrease in sugar I've been consuming lately. I did have a wave of nausea last night but I think that's from anxiety. Or because I ate too much dinner
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? Last night I was cooking dinner and DH got home and came into the kitchen to give me a kiss. I pointed to my stomach and said "there's a baby in there" and he looked SO confused and said "Wait.. I thought you were testing tomorrow morning." Men. <Insert eye roll>
Anything else to add? I'm really nervous to post this here because of TTCAL brain. I'm not convinced I'm really having a baby, but I know you guys will welcome me back with open arms if it doesn't work out, so that makes me less anxious.
You guys. You don't know what you've gotten me though. Dark days, I mean daaarrrkkkk days. The heart and hope and support and love and internet hugs here know no bounds. Every. Single. One of you have made an impact on me. You deal with my ridiculous claims that I'm a prophet and will for sure be starting my period b/c I had a dream that said so (another eye roll) and STILL welcome me back day after day. You guys make my heart swell. (and my eyes right now... but there's a lot of dust in the air...) To say I'm going to miss you would cut short the real emotions I'll feel. I can NOT wait for each of you to graduate to your BMB and I'll be stalking you the whole way.

What were you doing TGKU? Prometrium, CM, CP, OPK
How was your timing? -3, -1, 0
What symptoms did you have, if any (CS & CD breakdowns welcome)? Nothing that I can't for sure claim wasn't because of the progesterone or the significant decrease in sugar I've been consuming lately. I did have a wave of nausea last night but I think that's from anxiety. Or because I ate too much dinner
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? Last night I was cooking dinner and DH got home and came into the kitchen to give me a kiss.

You guys. You don't know what you've gotten me though. Dark days, I mean daaarrrkkkk days. The heart and hope and support and love and internet hugs here know no bounds. Every. Single. One of you have made an impact on me. You deal with my ridiculous claims that I'm a prophet and will for sure be starting my period b/c I had a dream that said so (another eye roll) and STILL welcome me back day after day. You guys make my heart swell. (and my eyes right now... but there's a lot of dust in the air...) To say I'm going to miss you would cut short the real emotions I'll feel.
