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. We ask that you only post here if you have been participating meaningfully here for at least three months.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 TTC?
How long have you been an active participant on the TTGP board? (minimum: 3 full months)
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)
How many months/cycles had you been TTC? 9 months + a few days/5AL
How long have you been an active participant on
the TTGP board? (minimum: 3 full months) early Feb.-early July
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU? FF, OPK, BBT, CM, HIO, PNV, COQ10, SMEP, RLT, GFJ, green tea, eating as clean/healthy as possible, probiotic.
How was your timing? What symptoms did you have,
if any? (CS & CD breakdowns welcome) -6,
-4, -2, -1, O, +2 // Not many symptoms I wouldn’t have w/ an ovulatory cycle
TBH, though I had a dream last night I got a BFP—and I’ve had dreams during the
previous few cycles that I got a BFN. Also, I was hotter than usual last night even
though the weather has been sames—usually I turn off/up the temp on my AC in
the middle of the night, but I def. turned down the temp last night. Anyway, so the rocket temp today made sense & gave me extra hope.
How are you going to/did you tell your
partner? IDK yet! I had this book I’d planned to give him the first time,
but he asked before we got back from our trip that time, so I gave him the book for this
birthday this year w/ a message of hope. I guess w/ the “AL” part, I am still so hesitant to be excited
that I will want to wait until I get a stronger line so he can really see it (it's FOR SURE THERE, but I feel like he'd like a bolder one?) & come up w/
something good, something “us,” for the weekend.
Anything else to add? YALL.
I’m getting teary just thinking about how I don’t
have the words for how supportive/important to me everyone has been & how much hope you've all given me. It was hard to come back here in Feb., but then it wasn’t bc of how
stellar a community this is. From the dailies (& the excitement there over this chart that I pished and poshed over bc it’s a fact I look at every “Chart
Like Mine” on FF to see how every chart I have could go many different ways), to my ladies over at TTCAL, whom I don’t know how I could have made it through
the past half year or so without—seriously, capital S. And every GTKY and Ten
Things Tuesday in-between—Thanks for making this the best place on the internet & my favorite distraction from life, my dissertation, everything. I really hope
this is the one for me, that I get to be a Mom & get my take-home baby & my fingers are crossed for ALL of you, too. I’ll
be on the sidelines, cheering for everyone. (p.s. I am at Dissertation Boot Camp & it’s
about to start/just started, so my focus has to be on that for the next ~8 hours [it's boot camp afterall] so don’t
take my absence for any lack of gratitude-- my
gratitude for this community is unspeakably large & contains multitudes that lovetits cannot encompass, truly, though I will be back in the evening to supply any.)
