with us here.ย
How do you know if you're a contributing member?ย
1. Ask your heart if you have contributed positively here.ย

How are you going to/did you tell your partner?ย
Anything else to add?
Re: TTGP Grad Announcements October 2024
I had some symptoms, but itโs hard to tell whatโs from the pregnancy and whatโs from the progesterone. The only thing that was different than our unsuccessful FET was my boobs were hurting. That started at 7dp5dt. Iโve also been tired and nauseous, but I got that last time so itโs probably the progesterone.
I just canโt believe I finally get to post here. I thought Iโd never graduate from TTGP!
