Another Newbie joined today. . .

Hi

Just thought I'd say hi to everyone.
I've just joined today as feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. I have one son of 13 and have just started trying for my 2nd baby. Didn't really want anymore children as was more than happy with my son Jake but after finally deciding to have a 2nd one I'm really excited....and scared!! Waiting at the moment for my period to arrive. . . .or not! It feels like my first time again.

Been reading some of the forums and if anyone could give me the heads up on the abbreviations I would really appreciate it. 😀

hiya and welcome to the site, i am also pretty new but everyone very friendly.
well i think i can help you a little on the abbreviations here are a few-

AF- aunty flow ie your period
BFN- Big fat negative result
BFP- Big fat positive result
OH-other half
PCOS- Polisistic ovaries (if thats how you spell it lol )

After a while you'll get to know them lol.

Thanks Laura!! Hey Rob can we make that one a sticky??? I would do it but the topic is closed and I don't want to step on any toes 😉 if I even can change it??

Hiya and welcome to JP . I see you have great taste in names lol as my ds is called Jake too. He is almost 8mths old now. I also have a daughter called Lauren (Lolly) who is 2 1/2. My name is Mandy and we along with df live in Devon. Am wishing you very good luck trying to conceive hun. It'm not surprised it feels like the 1st time again after 13years. I'm sure there are a few changes in that time. I'm sure everything will go fine for you though! Xx 😀

Thanks everyone for your kind words and abbreviation explanations. 💐 I'm looking forward to using JP for support and advice while TTC (see I'm getting the hang of it already :D)
Thanks Guys xxx
