I promised myself I'd give myself a break from TTC number 2 for a couple of months - but as I approach ovulation this weekend I'm not sure I can help myself

Is anyone else in the same boat as me?

Maybe we can get lucky together...

Yes, Sat or Sun are my most likely dates. Previously I would have said that I wouldn't want a Christmas baby, but I'm on cycle 9 TTC#1 so I don't care any more!

mumtoason87 · 16/03/2015 17:33

I've being saying that too. I never liked the idea of having a Xmas day baby.

But now I think I love that time of year so much, why not add another great day of celebration to the month of December?!

Hi Ladies

Yes! hopefully here comes some Xmas babies - I've ovulated today so start of the TWW......

honeysucklejasmine - yes me too, we're cycle 8 TTC #2 and at this point don't care what holiday it will fall on as long as it happens! will be a xmas miracle :)

patienceisvirtuous · 16/03/2015 17:37

I'm due to ovulate over the next couple of days. Count me in.

I'd love a Christmas baby :o

MelonMelon · 16/03/2015 17:41

Count me in! Fertile week starts from Wednesday Ho Ho Ho here we go

mumtoason87 · 16/03/2015 17:42

Yes ladies! I love having this online support, as I don't like talking to friends and family about TTC, as it makes me look looney. There's been way too many times in the last year that I've sworn I feel pregnant and I haven't been.

From now on I'm determined to surprise my husband with a positive test.

I hate falsely getting his hopes up.

mumtoason87 what a lovely idea to surprise him with a BFP :) I know what you mean about 'feeling pregnant', last cycle I could have sworn I was preggars but after 3 BFN's I finally gave in and awaited AF. DH is so sick of me getting 'symptoms', last cycle I walked into the living room, pulled up my top and said 'look how big my boobs have got, I must be preggars' think he's relieved that I've joined MN as now I have some other peeps to talk to about all this stuff :)

mumtoason87 · 16/03/2015 18:23

That's so funny, I'm exactly the same.

The TWW is the worst. Every little twinge is heightened.

I always cave and test too early, and get nasty evap lines on those cheap Internet tests - and spend all day blinding myself looking for the line

I need to try and break these bad habits!

MissMalteser · 16/03/2015 20:06

Eek can I join please, Trying for dc3 and this is the first time I have actually planned a pregnancy, as dc1 was a pleasant surprise :) and dc2 happened before I had time to blink so although this is cycle 1 I feel like I am under pressure to pass some sort of test I have set myself!
Due to ovulate from Wednesday on and it's so hard to not picture myself as pg already, I actually love the thought of a xmas baby (perfect timing to start mat leave and something to keep us busy in the dreary jan/feb months :) )

SaladBeach · 16/03/2015 20:17

I'm due to ovulate at the weekend too I'm passed caring if it's Christmas, any time is okay with me! We can all poas and see how we get on - good luck everyone

wineandpopcorn · 16/03/2015 22:42

Me too, I would love a Christmas baby! I am ovulating today, so beginning of tww!!

mrsfazruns · 17/03/2015 10:15

Fertile period starts weds .... After MMC before Christmas my due date would be around the same time .... That be a nice wee story!!! Christmas baby here I come x

MalibuDaisy · 17/03/2015 13:52

Me too! According to an online ovulation predictor I'm fertile from this Sat/Sun. I started TTC last month and all the symptom-spotting and "Am I, aren't I?" drove me mad - I'm not really looking forward to going through it all again, to be honest. I'm feeling very pressured by it all (the pressure is from myself, no one else is doing it!) which can't be good for my chances of a successful conception. Hoping to find a way to relax about it all, but I'm not sure what that is!

jellypi3 · 17/03/2015 15:36

Yep, due to ovulate on Saturday, which happens to be my birthday although FF changed my ovulation date to Friday last night because I put in watery CM which I had! Grrrrrrrrr!

Same as others, on god knows what cycle (guessing 8 or 9), started with the attitude of "I wouldn't want a baby in December, August, or in the summer preferably". Now i'm of the opinion that a baby any time of year is fine. In fact I'm getting married next May and won't be stopping this August. If I give birth of my wedding day, who cares!

Oh and hey honey :D

honeysucklejasmine · 17/03/2015 16:17

Hey Jelly! Love the idea of giving birth on your wedding day! Hah hah!

jellypi3 · 17/03/2015 16:20

we said if i did the party would go ahead without us and we would skype in but hopefully it won't take us until august!

honeysucklejasmine · 17/03/2015 16:45

Nah, of course not! gx!

epskie · 17/03/2015 19:33

Hi, can I join please? I think (hope) I'm ovulating this weekend. Long story but I'm kind of in my wtf cycle after a miscarriage in December :(

I'm testing every day and hoping to get a smiley face on my opk this weekend :-)

MelonMelon · 17/03/2015 19:41

Welcome! I remember you from the ttc after MC thread. Hope you're doing ok and best of luck for this cycle

Rufus200 · 17/03/2015 22:54

I'm ovulating now. I have a worry about a Christmas baby and hospital staff. I'm worried that there will only be a skeleton staff at Christmas that don't really want to be there and are preoccupied with other things. Studies show that people in hospital get much worse care on a weekend then a weekday so I wonder if Bank Holidays are even worse?

MelonMelon · 18/03/2015 06:52

Hi Rufus. I'm an NHS manager and I can assure you that's not the case! Rotas are the same, it's just another working day. Try not to worry and just enjoy ttc for your baby

mrsfazruns · 18/03/2015 16:40

How funny is it that you don't normally tell people when you have sex (especially not strangers) ..... But I know what we are all doing this week x

So glad to hear from all of you ladies. Just goes to show none of us are alone in our struggles, or TTC madness

epskie · 18/03/2015 18:49

Haha mrsfaz I always think that! Same when talking about cervical mucus too!

I got a smiley on my opk this morning so I'm starting tonight :-)
