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?

Re: TTGP Grad Announcements w/o 7/29
CD/DPO of first BFP? 32/11 dpo
How many months/cycles had you been TTC? 7 months, 5 cycles (PCOS)
How long have you been an active participant on the TTGP board? (minimum: 3 full months) February 2019
What did your chart look like?
What were you doing TGKU? BBT, OPKs, checking CM, Metformin, Clomid CD 5-9
How was your timing? What symptoms did you have, if any? (CS & CD breakdowns welcome) -4, -2, -1 (x2)
I’ve had some mild nausea since 5 dpo. Milky CM (like between EW and creamy) since around 7 dpo, tender boobs starting 8 dpo (now looking a bit bigger), and brown spotting at 10 dpo. I freaked out because I thought AF was coming early, but it stopped quickly and my temp rose, so I’m thinking implantation.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? Dogs woke me up at 2 a.m., so I took the test because it’s pee party Monday. Faint line, but definitely there. When I came out, he looked up and I said, “Well, it looks positive.” He said, “Positive?” all shocked, but he went right back to sleep. I turned a digital at 6 a.m., so I’m pretty sure now.
Anything else to add? I’m actually really sad to be leaving TTGP. I love you ladies so much and I’m going to miss talking to you every day. @bows22, as promised, I’m still saving you a spot in April, so you better come join me. All the rest of you, too. Thank you so much for being there these last months and for understanding this journey. I’m going to be lurking so much and rooting for all of you.
Edit because words are hard this early in the morning.

How many months/cycles had you been TTC? around 18 months
How long have you been an active participant on the TTGP board? (minimum: 3 full months) from the beginning.
What did your chart look like? no chart this time
What were you doing TGKU? We did IVF and this was our first FET.
How was your timing? What symptoms did you have, if any? (CS & CD breakdowns welcome) I've been really tired, sore boobs, and last night I burst into tears over something silly.Also some mild cramping.
How are you going to/did you tell your partner? I got a onesie that says daddy's side kick and a card. Just waiting for him to get home from work to tell him.
Anything else to add? This is the first time I've ever seen a double line on a test. I'm so nervous to move forward and I'm going to call my RE tomorrow to ask if they want to move up the beta or leave it on Monday since this is so early. I honestly wasn't expecting to see a line and it was a very clear one at that! I just want to thank every single person who's been there for me on here. I'm going to miss you all so much.
