Aiming for an October baby, anyone else?!

Well this is my first proper month of TTC for baby number 3. I'm currently on day 4 so willing the days to pass so we can start DTD and then get the TWW out of the way! I'm hoping for it to happen right away and have an October baby but who knows?!

Anyone else aiming of an October baby want to join the thread?xx

I use the Ovia app which is good and also now started using Clue which I saw recommended on here somewhere! I hope bfps come for you all soon :) I'm not holding out much hope for me ever having no.2 but clinging to the little tiny bit of hope. I got my bfp 5 years ago on 23rd Jan and ironically my bfp for this cycle 7 would be the same day!

Good luck everyone, we are starting next month so if we fall on first cycle (I'm not being that optimistic though) it will be a November baby! X

Becca83 · 09/01/2015 20:01

Ooh surferchic! That's weird! Hopefully we will have bfp together too Smile we can test on the same day! Good Luck x

MrsCrumbtious · 09/01/2015 19:58

Forgot to add my stats 30, ttc #1 cycle 2 xx

surferchic41212 · 09/01/2015 16:44

Becca.. Similar to me: I'm 31 and cycle one, AF due on 20th! I'm just hoping to wait to test until then!

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 09/01/2015 11:24

Oh and the apps are pretty good for mapping out your cycle!

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 09/01/2015 11:23

We've started trying this month for dc#2. Dc1 was a pill baby and havent gone back on it since i was pregnant. He'll be 4 in march. I was so convinced i didn't want another baby but now its all i can think about! Im too impatient and keep wanting to take pregnancy tests even though i'm not due till around the 15th!

shmuf · 09/01/2015 10:52

Me too please!!ttc dc#3..younger dc is 9months and I just gave up bf him.not had AF really since before dc1 who is now 2.5...not sure whens best to test. Might just go stock up on a bumper pack of cheapies and poas once a week or so!what do u reckon?

RugbyWidow7 · 08/01/2015 21:04

Please can I join too?!
We're ready to try for dc#3 after two ds's.
I seem to have forgotten most of what I learnt previously about timings and cycle days etc, so having to do my reading. My youngest is ten months and cycle still not completely settled - I used to be 29 day cycle but it now seems much longer and up and down btw 29-33days which is confusing.
We dtd once before ovulation this month, but seriously struggle to do it enough. Must try harder next month!

Becca83 · 08/01/2015 20:18

Hiya! Can I join in please? Been a long time lurker but just decided to register.

Stats are Becca83 31 ttc #1 cycle 1 bfp due around 20th Jan. Just came off pill at the start of December, so not overly optimistic for this month. Did dtd plenty around ov though, so you never know!

Look forward to getting to know you all and hopefully seeing some bfps soon!

KurlyWurly88 · 08/01/2015 19:56

I'm feeling really hormonal! I've not felt like this for years, is this is what it is like for teenagers? It's been terrible few days, I'm assuming I'm having 'pill withdrawal'? AF is also due around 20th, but my body feels all over the place - who knows? I'll test around 27th if nothing happens....

surferchic41212 · 08/01/2015 17:08

Shiny and mrscrumb, that's awesome.. I think I ov'd a couple of days ago, and AF due around 20th, so I'm gonna hold out as long as possible.. It's our first month ttc#2, so I'm also trying not to obsess, just enjoying!! My OH is def enjoying self!! Wink

MrsCrumbtious · 08/01/2015 16:38

I would love one in October! My fertile week next week so baby dancing commencing shortly.......

shinysparklythings · 08/01/2015 16:27

Well according to the app thing I've got my next period is due on the 28th jan so that's when I'll be testing. Due to ovulate mon-wed next week so will be dtd lots hopefully.

It's our first time and first month so I'm trying to enjoy dtd and not start obsessing, but it's so hard!!!!

surferchic41212 · 08/01/2015 16:19

When is everyone else gonna test??

surferchic41212 · 06/01/2015 16:17

We're ttc #2, I came off pill a few months ago but we waited until this month to try as I wanted to get cycles sorted.. AF due around 20th,so busy having lots of sex this week! Excited!

KurlyWurly88 · 06/01/2015 08:31

I am aiming for an October baby! TTC #1 for the first time. I thought I would 'take it easy' and 'see how it goes' in 2015, but realise I really want this! I'm not too sure about my body after being on the pill for over 10 years. AF came in Dec (I think, it was very light). I am hoping it won't be a struggle, it's a little daunting going into the unknown! I'm trying to read 'signs' or 'symptom spot' but I feel clueless.....

alien11 · 06/01/2015 07:42

I would be happy with a baby born any month Smile been ttc no.2 for 7 months now...

Wannabeanewmum · 05/01/2015 23:58

So desperate for a baby with my new partner ... So frustrating because my other pregnancy 10 years ago happened straight away but after 4 months now nothing .... Period due Sunday despite the last two weeks having loads of unprotected sex I'm getting strong pms symptoms so feeling gutted still hopeful for Sunday thou anyone else have pms symptoms before period while being pregnant ... Make me that bit more hopeful...

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/01/2015 23:21

Yes, but only because it's my second cycle trying and I'm hoping January is more successful than December was! I'm ttc #1.

Luckynumber3 · 05/01/2015 22:57

Hi. I'm new to this but really wanted to join a thread to speak to people as no one else to share things with (apart from dh and I think he gets sick of baby talk 24/7 ha). Also Ttc #3 and an oct baby would be fantastic. The sooner the better. Our ds2 is an oct baby and would only be about 4 days between dd and his birthday. Exciting times Smile

FlourishingMrs · 05/01/2015 22:41

I am too, only no AF yet since Mirena removal on 5th dec, just 3 day bleed after removal, AF please please come

shinysparklythings · 02/01/2015 14:40

Yup we are ttc#1 and hoping for an October baby. Fingers crossed. X

debbriana · 02/01/2015 14:34

My dd is a November baby and for the sibling am hoping for September to Xmas. I think I will miss this year because we are both not ready yet so it will be for hopefully next year.

snowberry86 · 02/01/2015 14:22

We've been ttc since March and would be over the moon with an October baby!
