Hi all,

I'm new to this world, even though I've been reading the post casually for some time now.

Monica (30)

Married for nearly 3 years, together for 11 years
TTC#1

We are TTC#1. We have only just been able to start 'officially' in April 2008 due to my work only now just becoming a permanent ongoing role. i am a primary school teacher and live up in the country. I was really initially very annoyed that I HAD to wait on something as trivial as a job but as I am our only 'bread winner' it was the sensible thing to do.

I got my hopes up after only one cycle because my AF was a longer than normal cycle. I felt moody, tender and SO wanted to get pregnant straight away that i convinced myself I already was. Then i have been sick and on steriods, so we haven't been able to try this month. That has been very hard to wait through.

I know that there are people who are/have been waiting for much much longer.... but I am impatient too and really feel like we've been waiting for so long anyway prior to actually TTC.

Everyone else around me either seems to have just gotten pregnant, is about to pop or just has. Including both of our sisters!!!! It's hard waiting!

Hope to be able to get some mutual support from others in this group also TTC in 2008!

Cheers, Monica

PS: Sorry really don't know if I posted this in the right spot, so would be grateful if someone who knows can tell me where to post if this isn't an appropriate spot. Cheers again!

Hi

Welcome to Essential Baby.

You have found the right place for support and friendship during your TTC journey.

Have a look at the Buddy Groups Guide to see which one is of interest to you. Then pop a post in and introduce yourself. You could post in a few if you like. Maybe even the TTC #1 thread.

Please let me know if I can help you with anything specific (you can send me a private message by clicking on the PM button below this post).

I will close this thread now to save confusion but please introduce yourself in a couple of groups. You will not regret it and all the ladies in here are lovely.

All the best with your TTC journey.

Kind regards

Ali
