Brand new to everything and neeerrrrvvvouuuss!

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
Hello all!

I'm new to the community and brand-new to the whole idea of parenthood. I'm TTC my first child with my lovely husband of 5 years. We finally feel ready to be parents!

I just went off the pill (after ten years on it!) and am now slightly stressing about getting pregnant. Everyone I know, it seems, got there on their first try. For me, it's been 2 months already. Haha, I know I shouldn't be impatient, but I waited to start trying for so long, I just want it to happen already (or heck, I would have started trying sooner!!!).

I'm still trying to learn all the abbreviations you ladies use, so I hope I fit in and don't seem like a stupid newbie. I'm a little nervous about the whole pregnancy thing, but ready to take the plunge (I think)!

Welcome to MDC! It's a great place to be while TTC - lots of info and really great people. Here's to you and your hubby easily conceiving soon!

Also, here's a list of abbreviations in case you haven't checked them out yet.

Welcome and if you don't get pregnant right away, at least it can be fun trying.

Welcome! So glad you're here.

Check out the link to the Big MDC FAQ in my signature if you're feeling lost. There's an acronym glossary in there, even. Hehe.

Have you checked out the TTC forum? Might be a good place to start.

Being nervous is a normal feeling, but it will turn to joy very quickly!

Welcome to Mothering, feel free to have us clearify if you don't understand something, we have all been there.

Hope you love it here, there is so much information and awesome people! Beware it is addictive thougth!

I hope everything goes well for you...I was on BC for about 10 years or so (since a dr. put me on it as a teenager). I actually went off of it because I eventually disliked taking it for various reasons...

It took me about 10 months to conceive after stopping the BC. I now have a cute, happy little 3 month old boy! Don't be nervous about pregnancy or having a baby--it's a big decision, but honestly the best one I ever made. I wish you only the best of luck!!
