Hello I have just started TTC

[Indiarose81]

Hello Everyone!

I've just registered after looking around a little as me and my Husband have decided now is the time to 'get cracking'.
We don't have any children so this will (fingers crossed) be our first. Very nervous but excited!

I hope to meet some other women in the same boat and hope to share advice.

Looking forward to saying hi to you all!

:)

Hi Indiarose and welcome

So exciting that you are just starting off TTCing for #1! My DH and I are TTC #1 too. There's a bunch of us who are all aiming for our first so you'll have lots of lovely people to talk to!

Look forward to chatting to you more

Hello Indiarose, welcome

Me and DF are TTC our #1 too! Just on the 2ww at the moment biting nails manically

[gardenpixie]

Ahhhhhh Fantastic me too! Hate the 2ww, hate it hate it! Can I offer you a cocktail to distract you? And one for Indiarose as a welcome drink too obviously

[TheFantasticFixit]

oo lovely!

Yes 2ww is a horrid.. every month I tell myself that I'm not going to set myself up again and then before I know it all I can think about is those pregnancy tests in the bathroom just waiting to be tried!

I literally am POAS obsessive.

Is there a mental health term for the change in pyschosis for this period of our life?!

[gardenpixie]

There must be. I know what you mean though; I do really well for the first week and then the second week (just started it now) I just want to pee on everything just in case there might be a line . And obviously everything is a sign too - ergh! Why do I do it to myself...?

Hmmmm, actually Indiarose I realise I am not selling MN as a place for well balanced support and company! I assure you most people on here are far saner than I am!

Hi IndiaRose, welcome. I'm in the same boat too and starting the 2ww today - joy! Hopefully the mad Christmas rush will distract us all a little!
Is there a thread of first-timers? I saw one full of graduates, but not one of peeps just starting out. Maybe we should start one!
Maybe this could be it!

[gardenpixie]

Hi Gobolino there is a thread for first timers - it's called The First Time Frolickers. I post on there quite a lot and it's full of lovely friendly ladies who are all TTC #1. Do drop by and have a look if you're interested I will see if I can post a link ...

[gardenpixie]

OK so this should be it

[Moffit]

Hello Ladies, my husband and I will be TTC #1 very soon, I am due to finish my last packet of pills on Friday, I have been lurking on here for the last few weeks, but this is my first post!

[gardenpixie]

Hi Moffit does that mean you're first conception window is New Years Eve / Day? How brilliant!

[Moffit]

Yes it is!! Getting very excited now, I have been taking Folic Acid for the last month!

[gardenpixie]

Moffit that is exciting; and I'm sure that will make it easier for the New Year Moffitlette to bed in

hello,

I'm new here too. i'm 29 and have rhuematoid arthritis. My fiance and I have decided to start trying for our first child after Christmas. I'm very excited - just over one week to go! i'm on this week so things should work out nicely for timeing ( i hope, i'm new at all this). I came off my yasmin pill two months ago so am raring to go!
I'm looking forward to chatting to you all.

[gardenpixie]

Hi yoshimigalloway ! How exciting that you are about to start TTCing. I've found lots of lovely friendly ladies here so I'm sure you'll love it.

Ouch to the arthritis! Hope you are suffering too much with it

xx

Just wanted to bump this to see if there were any updates ladies??

[purplehippopotamus]

Hello, can I join in? After a sustained period of dithering, and a few months of not actively trying but not not trying, my DH and I have decided that 2011 is the year to give TTC #1 a go. Only prob at the moment is am only on CD2 so AF in full swing, can't wait to get cracking but have a long cycle so will be waiting a while before first OV of the year...in the meantime I'm taking the temping v seriously and have started a lovely chart!!

baby dust to all :)

[dontcarehow]

Hey, I'm newly trying too! I never thought I'd be that bothered about having kids but 6 months ago it just clicked and now I'm obsessed. Truly. I've been symptom spotting even though theres absolutely no chance I could be preggers right now, its bizarre how every slight twinge of nausea sets me off to the bathroom cabinet for another test! sad really, its driving my husband insane.

Hello!

OH and I have just started ttc our first too! Not doing too well though at the moment - he's working really late nights which really doesn't help!

It's a strange state of mind to be in. I have become very obsessed with my boobs - "ooh they're tender, but a different sort of tender - does this mean I'm pg???".

I have to say though that the most difficult thing I'm trying to get my head around at the moment is all the abbreviations used on this and other sites....took me long enough to figure out what "ttc" meant!

I wish you all well - I am sure that if I do become pg I will be visiting this site a lot more.
