Hi - I'm new here obviously so thought I would introduce myself.
DH and I met 3 and a half years ago and got married in April. We've been off contraception pretty much since then but haven't been actively trying but have now decided to get on with it. We can't wait to be parents, we're almost at the point of dressing up the cat and pushing her round in a pram (she would actually like that). We've just moved into a new house and we both agree that it 'needs' children. We were going to wait for several reasons but we can't. It's almost becoming a need rather than a want.
I have no idea where to start with TTC but thought signing up here would be a good one so hello and I look forward to getting to know you and picking your baby brains for tips and advice.

Thanks - I'm looking forward to the day we get that BFP. This is certainly the weirdest but at the same time the most exciting thing we've done.

Hi, I'm Jo (31) married to Phil (32) and we've been together almost 11 years and got married this year in January. I was on NZWP and heard about this site from the lovely ladies on there and have been lurking for a few weeks and learning lots! We weren't sure we would ever have kids but a couple of months ago brought it up and a bit surprising to both of us I think we decided that we actually did. I had my implant taken out 3 weeks ago so just waiting for my cycle to regulate and then it's all on! Exciting and scary because it seems such a big decision to make so quickly but it just feels right! Look forward to chatting to everyone

Welcome josephnia, it might be a big decision but it will probably be one of the best decisions you have ever made!  I'll look forward to reading your posts

Well I've been lurking for ages now and feel it's probably time I joined. I'm an ex-NZWPer too (Josephnia may recognise me I think). I'm 35, DH is 38 and neither of us ever wanted kids. We had a few family events crop up earlier this year that made me re-evaluate what I wanted out of life, and when I raised the possibility of trying for a family of our own, to both my and his complete shock, he not only agreed, but is quite keen to try and see if we can make it a reality. I wouldn't want to go down this path if it was only something I wanted, it had to be something we both wanted, so you can imagine how nervous I was when I realised I'd changed my mind.
There are some complicating factors for us. I'm on medication that I have to take for another 6 months, and then the specialist advice is to wait another 3 months after that before trying. DH also had a vasectomy last year and now we're saving to have to pay for the reversal. It wasn't a decision made lightly and I don't regret it, but if only I'd known this was going to happen we would have waited. Some other factors mean it's not likely to occur naturally even then anyway. So we're looking at a few rounds of IUI and following up with IVF. And then specialist care because of my age and medical conditions.
So it's all very scary and exciting. I'm trying to stay positive and hope it can all happen for us. We've decided not to tell our friends and family so I think this site will prove very helpful.

Welcome ItchyFeet! He he, I think I may know who you are It was a bit of a surprise to DH and I as well when we came to our decision, and there are some times when i just think it's all a bit scary and are we really going to go through with this, but the other times it just feels like the only thing to do and so natural. We're not telling anyone either - we've spent so many years telling people we're NOT having kids and I don't want to be explaining our decisions or going through diappointments with others (hopefully this won't happen too often though!)
I really hope your TTC journey is as smooth and trouble free as it can be and that we get that BFP we're all hoping for!

Hi Everyone,
1st post - wahooo!
So, I'm an 'ex-NZWPer'too (under a different name there). Got married in March this year. I've been kind of lurking around for the last few months, since DH and I had intented to start TTC early next year. However, as of last night we've had a bit of a change of plans; looks like my work situation is going to change & DH has just had a payrise, and since both of us believe that 'everything happens for a reason' I'm going to stop taking my pill as of this Friday (like 2 days away!!!) - and see what happens!
It's all a bit scary and seems really quite surreal - i can't quite believe we're actually going to do it! DH is even quite excited!
We're not telling anyone yet that we're going to be TTC - so it's kinda cool that this place exists, otherwise I'd probably either explode with excitement or drive DH completely mental!

Thats great joscia! Welcome to OhBaby
I only came off the pill a few months ago and found I was really clueless about cycles etc and everyone here is so supportive and full of useful advice.
Goodluck with your TTC adventure!
