Hello from an excited, scared, emotional, happy newbie

[E&AsMiracle]

Hi all,

Just wanted to introduce myself. My husband and I have just started TTC (see I am learning the lingo already!). We have been married a year and a half and are so ready!! Took my IUD out last Wednesday which happens to coincide with ovulating (I think..still trying to get my head round it all).

I am very very excited, can't wait to be pregnant and a mum, am ecstatically happy to be starring this journey and also have a few worries, so can't wait to talk to you all.

Found you again already! It is exciting isnt it! Cant seem to stop looking at a million websites online right now. I think it is because i am ovulating in a couple of days and my hormones are getting a bit desperate. What are your worries? Mine are being so old and maybe having left it too late, we will just have to see I spose. Starfish x

Hey starfish. I am the same with the websites too! I just bought an amazing book which I read whenever I get the opportunity. My husband just keeps rolling his eyes but is not to upset at all the trying we are doing lol!

I just have little niggling worries sometimes. Things like how long it might take to conceive, or making sure I am not eating the wrong things and how that could affect getting pregnant. Also, what are you doing about alcohol? I have a wedding and a hen do next weekend and I am wondering if I should abstain. What do you think?

Good Luck xxx

Thanks all! What a lovely bunch!

I have my birthday and a wedding next week, so I now what you mean about the whole 'no alcohol' thing! Problem is, if I dont drink (which will be unusual for me, esp on my birthday!), then people will assume im pregnant anyway! Think I may have a couple, then sneakily change to lemonade, and just tell people it has vodka in it, lol!

Oh my gosh! What a great week you have coming up. Happy birthday in advance and congrats on the wedding! I think you alcohol plan sounds good. Are you all ready for the wedding? xx

Hi E&Asmiracle
I know what you mean about the alcohol, i havent had a drink for 6weeks now, not that i drank that much before but we have been trying for 2 and a half years so i thought i might as well give being teetotal a go, although it is my birthday on 31st and if i dont get a BFP before then then i will be having a drink! (Geminiblue, im 37 in two weeks, its lovely to have someone your own age ttc to chat to, star fish too)!
Welcome to the site anyhoo, im a newbie too and i have found everyone so lovely and helpful on here, its like chatting to friends!

Sending lots of baby dust to everyone ttc!!

 

[maybe baby]

Welcome and good luck to both you newbies xx

What is the book?

I am enjoying libby purvis "How not to be a perfect mother". It's not about ttc though. It's a bit tempting fate and makes me want one so much, but it is funny and full of good advice for once I do get there.
