My boyfriend and I have decided we want to start trying for a baby. I've made an appointment to have the coil removed on Wednesday 18th November. I'm excited, but at the time I feel terrified and nervous, and keep wondering if this feels weird. Did anybody else get these feelings? Or did people have zero worries or nervousness at all?

I'm so glad I've found this thread, I'm new here too and I took my last pill last night and I am PETRIFIED!! I actually haven't even told the hubby that was my last packet, although he can't wait to start trying - I feel like I need a little while to wrap my head around it first before he gets all super excited you know? I'm very private and frightened so this is just going to be kept between me and hubby until as long as possible into the pregnancy, so it's nice to be able to have this place so I can still express myself :)
I am so so scared ladies, but glad I'm not the only one!
Has everyone else started 'stuff for little one' lists?

Well join the club, I think we are all a bit nervous here. I'm getting more excited now though, I've even started planning my baby shower haha! I haven't actually started looking at stuff for the baby yet but I keep seeing cute clothes and shoes in the shops. Once you tell your hubby I think it'll sink in a bit more and you can get excited together and start making plans. I felt so much better once I'd told my mum just becuase I could get excited and it felt more real. Good luck with the 'trying' process, I keep thinking I don't want to be pregnant before Xmas but I keep looking at my ovulation calendar and can't wait to have sex again what will be, will be I guess.
This is such an exciting adventure we've started xxx

Sorry I'm really new so don't know what these abreviations mean like TTC mean January does seem like a good time plus I would like a September/October baby, but I guess I can't choose

Yes me too, would love an autumn baby!
TTC - trying to conceive, I saw this all over the place and had a look on the 'acronyms' page at the top, all the gobbledygook makes more sense now haha!

Hey Sophie, hope you're having a great time in NYC, my favourite place in the world!
I started spotting today since having the coil out on Wednesday. I hardly had periods on the coil too but I did have a full
period at end of October so I am really messed up with my cycle/fertile days etc.
I'm getting more and more excited, I told my best friend yesterday too (can't shut me up now) and it's getting me excited about actually getting pregnant. However I keep hearing how horrible pregnancy is
I need to start researching on what we will need before the baby comes, I have NO idea about baby stuff so will have to get researching. X

Hope you're enjoying NYC Sophie!
I'm also already worried about people wanting to tell you all their horrid stories, I'm not sure I could cope I'm just going to be blunt with people and tell them it's not something I need to hear, no idea people think it's okay to pass on horror stories to pregnant ladies.
I plan on wearing headphones whenever I'm out of the house too and I've started to show - apparently people just come up to those with bumps and think it's okay to touch it and ask personal questions?! I would not be okay with that!

Yeah everything is good with me too, not scared anymore which is a good sign haha just excited! Think we've had sex 4 times too since last Wednesday, I am finding I am wanting it more than usual. I've read every 2-3 days is best when TTC.
In my last post I said to make a beautiful partner..obviously meant beautiful baby haha! Yeah I can't wait to have my own mini me and just have a family of my own. I think it will bring me and my husband even closer, maybe not with the sleepless nights though
and I can't wait to see my mum being a nanny.
Have you thought of any names yet? I have a list already finding girls names easier than boys though xx
