TWW officially begins!!!!!

AF due 13th May and have no idea of how I'm going to wait that long!

This is our first cycle TTC baby #1 and since we have decided to try I have been very anxious. I just want this to happen, my close family have all had fertility issues and I've convinced myself I will too.

Just thought I'd start thus for support for all wanting some words if encouragement.

loveyoulots firstly that's great news about losing nearly 2 stone! That isn't easy at all and to achieve that alone is great for TTC! Don't beat yourself up, you are going in the right direction and that's all we can do!

gakay, with all you've been through I hope it happens for you sooner rather than later. Let's see if we can do it together May 13th?

Sounds silly, I actually feel positive today. After talking through it on here it does help. I hope we get some more TWWer's to get a support group going!

I think it does something to your head. We both came into this saying we were doing the relaxed approach. No ov sticks, no looking at cycles or testing etc. that went out the window on cycle 2!

Yep, babies everywhere. I'm happy to be tww buddies with you.

For some reason I had a feeling it would take us ages too, hopefully I'm going to be proves wrong.

The only thing in the back of my mind is though, I'm very overweight. I really hope that isn't an issue as such. I've lost nearly 2 stone since deciding to TTC, I really hoped I would have lost all of it (6 stone) before getting pregnant. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, if I am, I'm so happy. I just worry that it's going to cause problems later on. Hopefully I'll keep losing weight though, so you never know.

Thanks ladies!!! Many congrats loveulot!! Great news! You're right I do need to talk about it however we have decided to keep it to ourselves so can't talk to those close to me about it. That's probably half the issue as I let it all build up in my head. I just feel panicky all the time and nervous that we won't be able to conceive.

It has got to a point where it's all I think about and it's only month 1!!!!! Hoping the arrival of AF will bring me back to earth and make me be a little more relaxed about it next month if we are not pregnant.

gakay TWW buddies sounds great. I think we should all keep each other sane on here...although I think I'm past that lol!!

Surely I'm not the only one who is this anxious lol!! And since we've been trying all I see around me are babies and pregnant women...what's all that about? Lol

Hi, think my AF is due on the same day! We can be tww buddies.

Started TTC for #1 since sept 14 and have had 2 early mc's by end of year. I got really obsessed and upset last cycle. Hope I'll be more chilled this time.

loveulots fingers crossed for you.

Me and DH started TTC in December. Just be prepared for how crazy it will turn you! Every symptom and twinge you think it's a sign!

On the bright side, I 'think' I've got my BFP this week. I've had faint lines for 5 days in a row on internet cheapies but a negative on a clear blue. I'm hoping because I have ridiculously long cycles that I'm not actually as pregnant as the internet is telling me (based on the first day of my last period I should be 4 weeks, 28 day cycle. I actually have 35 day cycles so I'm only 2 weeks apparently). So I've banned myself from testing again until Sunday.

Good luck, stock up on amazon cheap ov tests and pg tests! It'll save you buying them from the supermarket! And don't get disheartened if it doesn't happen as quickly as you'd hoped. Find a good friend you can moan to!
