Hello both! I'm very sad to be joining the April bus after AF arrived 2 days early. She is here in a big way this month whoa!
I am using an app to guide ovulation. I'm not using OPKs as they are stressful and I've never had a positive, even the month I got pregnant. Had a MC in October 16.

Age: 31
TTC: #1

How do people feel about Christmas babies?

I'm going to hop on here even though I'm not very hopeful!

Had Mirena coil removed 2 weeks ago after about 18 months-loved it but want to ttc number 2. Previous history of pretty bad PCOS so I don't reckon I'll ovulate any time soon but here's hoping!

Off contraception for a year but AF only returned in august (after breastfeeding DD)
Cycle 6 but very irregular length cycles due to PCOS and I'm driving myself crazy this time.

For example this month AF lasted a day and a half so I can't quite shake off the feeling that I could still be pregnant (even though tests would confirm I'm not!)

I know what you mean about the ov tests!

I had ovulation (or so I thought) pains last week, did a test in the evening which was about half way to positive, did another in the morning which was arctic white! So not sure if I missed the actual surge, or whether my body's just messing with me!

Have only dtd once since having my coil out too as I had a stinkin cold then gave it to DH. Pah! Need to step up the game lol.

I have just turned on 'Whitney - Fat Girl Dancing' (an insight into my awesome taste in TV) and she is preggo!

How is everyone pregnant?!

Re. Christmas baby. 6 months ago I would have been all 'I don't want a Christmas baby, and I don't want a baby born in the Summer'. But now I don't care. Just want a baby!!

Yep, we had a sort of break in December partly as I was really ill and partly as we wanted to avoid an august baby. Now I'm like "what were we thinking?!". Though to be fair I was probably too ill!

Evening all!

Lovely to see you all on here (although I'm sure we'd all rather not be here!)

How are we all doing? I'm having a "feeling sorry for myself" night tonight. I've eaten a whole bag of Haribo already. I wish af would just start properly, enough with the spotting!

My youngest sister was born on Christmas Day. She hates it haha I used to think I wouldn't want a December baby but I feel like at this point, I can't afford to be choosy lol

AF not here yet, but DH and I were both ill last month so barring an immaculate conception...AF should be here this weekend.

Not fussed about a Christmas baby, I'll be happy any time of the year! I'm a December gal myself and it's the big 30 this year 😬 so I'm hoping Sod's law will come into play and I'll end up having a baby for my birthday instead of champagne! 😂

I'll jump on! AF has already happened. Might be in march twice due to short cycles though. Fingers crossed!

I'm a summer baby as is my partner (his birthday is the day after mine so I'm one day older than him lol) and my daughter is a summer baby too. I don't mind when I have another baby but I'm kind of wanting to get pregnant before May as that's when the lease is up on my two bed flat so I need to know if I should renew for another year or find something bigger! I've been told I have Asherman's Syndrome which causes infertility so my chances of conceiving aren't great so don't really want to rush in to moving to a bigger, more expensive place if I don't need to
