@stormtrooperjulian

Wow! Congratulations to you!!! A really great line. Was his your first test or did you have any BFNs in the run up?

Also, what supplements did you take? I am very curious! Gotta love a success story!

Wishing you a H&H 9months :-) xx

KatBeCool · 15/01/2019 10:56

@stormtrooperjulian that's a strong line! It might even show up on a digital test. Congratulations!

thumper59 · 15/01/2019 11:16

@stormtrooperjulian congratulations!! 💕

I think today is key ovulation day, according to my clue app it is, and according to my weird belly pains I'd imagine it is too. First cycle off the pill though so I don't really know what is going on! I'm getting so obsessed with tracking everything and I keep trying to make myself carry on with my day as normal and it's proving impossible. God knows what I will be like when I do eventually get that bfp!

GemmaJen · 15/01/2019 11:36

@stormtrooperjulian congratulations! So happy for you, a very clear BFP! 🎉😊

sunshine1987 · 15/01/2019 11:55

Babytrain89 · 15/01/2019 12:24

@stormtrooperjulian massive congrats, that's very clear!!!!!

I love Bone down for bd!! I always thought it was bed down 😂.

Also the clutching pearls comment. Brilliant!!

I've got the real rage today! No real clue why since still 5 days to AF.

Random2468 · 15/01/2019 12:27

@stormtrooperjulian CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's such fantastic news I am thrilled for you and wishing you a H&H 9 months!

OhMarnie · 15/01/2019 12:28

Hi everyone, I’m new 🙋‍♀️ Been lurking for a while but now ready to join in!

Age: 28
TTC: #1
CD: 1

This will be our first month of properly trying, we didn’t use any protection last month but only DTD about twice (poor DH) and in hindsight it wasn’t when I ovulated 🙈 I’m not really clued up on all the temping and OPKs. I also have long cycles of 35-42 days which makes things a bit more tricky. So pleased to see the BFP on here today!!!! Congrats!

None of my friends are TTC or even at that stage of life so I’m excited to have some ladies to discuss this with. As soon as I saw the level of TMI on this thread I knew it was for me 😂😂😂

19Bee2 · 15/01/2019 12:40

Congratulations @stormtrooperjulian What wonderful news to see this morning!

19Bee2 · 15/01/2019 12:42

Welcome @OhMarnie
Everyone on here is so helpful and it's a great place to learn. We will be pros in no time.
I'm on cycle 1 too but have been tracking for a while. Typically, my ovulation has been avoiding my this cycle - grr - so although we got off to a good start so to speak, I think I've missed it this cycle. Next I will try time much better and perhaps use OPKs.

DayDreamer1707 · 15/01/2019 13:34

@stormtrooperjulian Massive Congrats to you and your DH xx

MrsH497 · 15/01/2019 13:35

@stormtrooperjulian congratulations that's a lovely clear line!! X

TTC34 · 15/01/2019 14:42

Congratulations @stormtrooperjulian !! That is 'line goals' !! Wishing you a H&H 9 months...enjoy telling DH xxx

Delilah7 · 15/01/2019 15:18

@stormtrooperjulian congratulations darling x x x

Nextchapter19 · 15/01/2019 17:43

@stormtrooperjulian congrats!!!

Im wondering if my super light periods post pill are going to hinder conception now. Been panicking and reading about low estrogen although dont really have other symptoms!!!! Im assuming that ovulating every month since Sept in same cycle is a good enough start..cycle day 6 here can feel anticipation building for fertile window!

Scotslass55 · 15/01/2019 18:00

@stormtrooperjulian woo weee! Very excited for you! Congratulations indeed! Hope you have a lovely evening telling your DH.

I was due yesterday but am late, despite the fact I was convinced AF was arriving Friday. Very confused! My cycles can be irregular so am trying to hold out til tomorrow to POAS.... weekend was 50% imminent AF symptoms, 50% nothing at all. Not totally unusual for me, annoying normally, a very frustrating rollercoaster when TTC. Am shattered tonight which is usually another sign AF is about to appear. We’ll see!

stormtrooperjulian · 15/01/2019 18:41

Thanks all! It doesn’t feel real yet. I hope it’s ok if I hang out here for a little while longer? I don’t feel ready to join a pregnancy thread yet!

@KittieKath that was my first test, I was convinced it would be negative and my body was just screwing with me and I properly freaked out when a line showed up within seconds!
I’ve been taking Maca Root (supposed to help balance hormones, thought it might help after my implant), l-arginine (supposed to boost circulation - I have terrible circulation, my hands are always freezing), and a vitamin d spray.

MrsEG · 15/01/2019 18:42

Massive congratulations @stormtrooperjulian xx

FlapJackered · 15/01/2019 19:03

@stormtrooperjulian 🎉 so so happy for you!! Have you told your DH yet? Yes definitely stay with us! We want to have updates on how you're getting on!

Congratulations @stormtrooperjulian!!

TrashKitten10 · 15/01/2019 20:39

@stormtrooperjulian Congratulations! So so happy for you. What amazing news! Can't wait to hear about your DH's reaction. Definitely stay around to keep us updated :)

@OhMarnie Welcome to our TMI club! My periods have always been really long too, although this is my first month off the pill so I'll see how they settle.

I spoke too soon about my temperatures looking a bit more stable. Our TTC knickers are less up and down than my bloody BBT chart right now Hmm it has predicted I ovulated on CD12 although I think putting on a blindfold, spinning around and pinning an ovulation spot on the donkey would be about as educated as that guess.

Babytrain89 · 15/01/2019 20:42

@scotslass55 you never know! You're not out until AF arrives and some of those symptoms could be pregnancy as much as AF! Fingers crossed.

starkid · 15/01/2019 22:39

Congrats @stormtrooperjulian 😀 !! What a line!

Am cd14 here and my clearblue digital opk has shown high fertility for the first time this cycle. Usually ovulate between cd16-19 so in the fw now, fingers crossed our efforts don't go to waste 😉

Anyone else in fw at the mo?
