This IS an announcement. Presented by the ladies of Broad City, who I think would really fit in around here.
Cycle: 8 total (6 AL)
CD/DPO: 33/11
Timing: -2, -1, 0
What we did: Charted BBT & CM, OPKs, a lot of sex, and a little Astroglide TTC to get things moving...
Symptoms: High temps and normal PMS, plus the feeling of being stabbed in the uterus and poked in the boobs, like someone was doing this...
How I tested/told H: He knew today was test day, so woke up when I did and watched the bathroom door. (No adorable reveal with this one.) First I peed on a wondfo and got just the whisper of a line. I felt sort of like this...
But then your words rang in my head - "a line is a line" - so I was all...
But MH didn't trust it. He doesn't know the GKU wondfo wisdom. Being a tech nerd for a living, of course he wanted to see it on the digi. (Good thing I saved that pee.) This time, there was no interpretation necessary: BFP.
We kissed and did a little of this...
But we're both still feeling a little scared to get too attached again. There is a more than a little of this:
The Mushy Stuff: You. You people. When I found TD last fall, I couldn't believe how much I didn't know about my own damn body. The real talk that went along with the info was invaluable. I learned quickly how fierce the tribe was with the GBCB exodus. But getting a BFP wasn't the end of my learning here on GKU. It was a whole new experience coming back after a loss and having a community who understood, who actually talked about it without getting weird like people IRL, who gave me virtual hugs and pep talks when I needed it, who didn't condescend me for how I felt. And that was a lifesaver. Not to mention that I learned a lot about proper condiment storage and gifs. Thank you so much.
I hope to see you all getting BFPs in short order and hope to see you over on May '16 soon. To each of you, I say:
ETA: Messed up the year and a word.
