Hi, I'm new here and it may take me a while to commit all the acronyms to memory!

Very excited, though a bit nervous. My GP has been advising me to start trying for a long time now but she really put the fear in me at our latest appointment (which wasn't supposed to be about pregnancy stuff but we got onto that).

I'm 27, nearly 28, but struggle with lifelong health issues and PCOS. She has made it clear that my chances aren't great and that I need to start imminently if I want any chance at TTC naturally.

I've always been very nurturing and loved kids and starting getting broody in a big way when I was still in my teens. DH (married over a year) also loves kids and definitely wants a family, but wanted to wait another year or so before trying. I was nervous about bringing up what the doctor said and didn't want to make him feel pressured but he said he was wanting to wait on the assumption that it would only take a few cycles to conceive, which is probably not the case.

So, he's on board, we're both happy, I'm excited to have a go at this!

Wishing you all the luck! Don't put pressure on yourself and your relationship! Relax and things will work out xxx

Thank you Sophie! I think that's very wise advice that I'll have to keep in mind. We're going to try to relax and see how things go to begin with, so hopefully we can both stay calm and easygoing about it!

Hey I'm trying to conceive number 3 atm how are you getting on? It can be a long journey but keep positive and try not to think to much about it, easier said than done x

Hi Anita! Nothing yet, still waiting for ovulation. Excited and nervous though and just trying to go with the flow. Thanks for your kind words. How is the TTC coming along for you? x
