The continuing adventures of The First Time Frolickers!!!!

Hiya everybody, thought I'd lost you all! Glad to see there's more graduates and I can't believe how big the the TTC list is getting now!

Well I've got just under 2wks till my 20wk scan and I can't believe it's passed so quick so far. Still worry all the time about something going wrong although I know that the biggest risk stage has already passed. Don't suppose you stop worrying once they're out either. Hope everyone's well, good luck to all on their 2WW!

Hello and welcome Eleanora, congratulations on getting wed and on deciding to TTC! You'll like it here, I've not been on this long but everyone's really nice and friendly and supportive. Good luck and fingers crossed for you! xx

Hi all,

May I join you? DH and I got married 6 months ago and after waiting for various work-related reasons have decided to start TTC this month. Very excited but also nervous - no idea how long it will take. My stats are:

TTC #1 Cycle 1 UCL 33(?) CD1

Hellooooo all! I was lost in cyberspace (that means clicked on 'threads I'm on' and finding nothing!) this week so i'm happy I've found you again!

Don't know if I'll be getting excited this month, temps were reasonable and we did the deed for 2 days (CD 9 &10) but on day 11 we had a falling out! So no sweet lurve until day 14 when my temp had already started to rise grrrr! Hopefully this cycle will be my usual length and not weirdly long like last time.

I hope everybody's well and not too cold/windy/flooded wherever you are.

Spirael, hope you get some you time soon

Yorkshire, great thread you linked to. Yes it conveys so many different emotions, you're right, one minute you're open mouthed the next all warm and glowing at the different accounts of early motherhood. I suppose what I got from it was: you don't know what your labour will be like and you don't know what your new baby will be like - you just need to get on with it, whatever! Which is both scary and exhilarating and it's something I'd really like to experience too

Kkas, thanks for updating the list (I'm CD1 today so will just update that). We've got a busy weekend ahead too, working tonight and out socially tomorrow night - Hope you have good one .

Evening all,

Got slightly worried when I logged on for the first time since Wednesday and discovered that the thread had run out - I thought I'd lost you all!!

I'm heading towards the testing zone, have decided I can probably test on Sunday. I feeling hopeful this month as we BDed at pretty much the right time. I've been feeling random pains in my abdomen for the past week and my boobs are feeling heavy and quite tender (but that might just be all the prodding I'm doing to see if they hurt!). It's probably all psychosomatic, but there's enough to make me mildly optimistic.

I've been reading this thread which has made me alternately terrified and envious and, at times, had me weeping at the accounts of the sheer exhausted wonder that most new mums seem to feel. I have no idea how, or indeed if, I'll cope with being a mum, I just really want to try...

[Hmm] anyway, best not get too carried away, chances are this month will go the way of the previous 12

NovemberAli I too find temping satisfying. I'd been off the pill for 10 cycles before I got my thermometer, I am so much more aware of what's going on with my body now i'm doing the daily monitoring. And I like the charts and graphs, I makes me feel like I'm being proactive and taking TTC seriously!

Morning all! I hope everything is going well for everyone.

Nothing major to report here, my life currently is revolving entirely around working, sleeping and eating! I'm hoping to get some energy back soon, but I get the feeling it's not going to happen for another month or so. Oh well... At least I can sleep over the Christmas period!

Is anyone testing over the coming weekend??

morning all - good friend had her baby yesterday and all is well. she is so cute and i can't wait to see her in RL. Really jealous though but still very happy for her!!!!

cramps have kicked in this morning but i am actually welcoming them because last month was the first month i had cramps with AF and it was actually the first month following pill that everything seems to be working noramlly! so here's to another 'normal' month

hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Hello new thread. I may not be joining the POAS club anymore. Signs of AF arriving. I'm sulking as I really don't want another week of rubbish discharge followed by a rubbish period. It just doesn't seem fair.

Aly, I've also had similar conversations with some friends of mine and they said the same as your friends! They also added that once a baby comes along you're so busy with this new little bundle, that you just get on with things and have a different set of priorities and worries.

I do think that my particular problems will always be with me but they will change and I will learn to deal with them differently.

Happy temping November

Impressive Pixie! Thanks for switching the thread.

Claire (and others), I'll keep you updated on my Eastern adventures. I too occasionally get some depression and anxiety. I actually went off the pill because I was concerned that it was causing me to have worse moods. I haven't used any medication regularly to treat my anxiety, but I would be thrilled to help it with the eastern stuff.

I have couple of friends who suffer from depression and anxiety who have children. Once, when I was extra stressed and dealing with anxiety issues, I commented that I was worried that having a child would make me a wreck. Oddly enough, they all agreed that having kids actually helped with their anxiety and depression. I was surprised, but relieved to hear this.

Novemberali, I agree with Kkas. It's absolutely fine to get excited about your thermometer. I, too, love taking my temperature and playing around on fertility friend. I have a feeling you'll like it, too!

well done on new thread pixie so nice to have a shiny new one

hi aly your trip to the eastern medicine school really sounds interesting and i hope that their suggestions helps you get that BFP!

novemberali of course it's not wrong! i love doing my temp everyday. we can be temp buddies and cycle buddies this month too

Good work pixie!
I got back from work to find my new temping thermometer has arrived - is it wrong to be this excited about taking my temperature?!

Hello new thread.

Well done pixie, I'm sure they'll all be along soon!
