Hi girls - looking for a little crew to share the ttc journey with - we are newbies this year - decided on Jan 31st to start trying after 12 years together! but had literally just missed my ovulation day for that cycle, so even though we had some fun over NY we are properly starting next cycle around the end of the month - just have to wait to finish this cycle now, and I've never wanted a period to come so quickly haha!

So - any cycle sisters out there who will be trying with me on or around end of Jan? I'm Cd21 right now.

And feel free to share stories and ages!

I'm 34 and have been off the pill for about 2 years now - we don't really use protection just pull out lol and never had a scare so I'm a little worried we could have a bit of a long journey. Although my mum conceived me first time trying so I'm praying it's in the genetics lol!

Not sure about you but I'm already getting obsessed which seems to be pretty normal lol but it would be good to have some pals to talk to rather than my cat or my husband, who I think I could quite quickly freak out if he knew just how many mum'snet threads I've read!

Also... What are you most looking forward to being pregnant?
Xx

Hi all, total Mumsnet newbie here. Not sure if this thread is still in use or if there is something else I should be doing BUT, have just started ttc and have had a very weird few weeks of being utterly convinced I was pregnant (I had cramps that would have been the exact right time for implantation, plus lots of nausea, all so rare for me). AF was 3 days late too but she arrived this morning and I was really shocked because I was so convinced I was, so have been feeling pretty emotional. I've been reading lots of Mumsnet threads over the past few weeks so thought it was high time I joined up. I'd love to be able to talk to others who are ttc.

I am 33 and have been married 6 months (but together 13 years). We've been putting it off for various wedding/pandemic reasons and now that we're finally here I'm anxious about how emotionally hard this could be (after my first disappointment this morn). To over complicate things, DH has a family trip to Barbados in January for his dad's 70th. Having found out about zika risk to conception we decided that I wouldn't go and we'd ttc first. If we are unsuccessful though we have to pause for.3 months after he gets back (taking us to May), which I'm feeling pretty crushed about... I just wish we'd gotten on with it sooner (we delayed things for a post pandemic wedding party we had 2 weeks ago)..

Looking forward to hearing others' stories, and would appreciate it if someone could tell me if I'm posting in totally wrong way/place 😅😅😅
