Who’s TTC a Christmas Baby. March 2018

341 replies

MagicalCreatures · 31/03/2018 08:00

Not that I specifically want a Christmas baby. But my LMP was the 20th March so that means, going by a 28 day cycle, if I fell pregnant this month, Baby’s ‘estimated’ due date would be Christmas Day!!!!!!!!

It’s the first month that I’ve felt ready to start trying again after a miscarriage and my cycles haven’t been completely regular.
Ranging from 27 - 30 days. So I’m using OPK’s and Temping to try and pinpoint ovulation.

Should be ovulating within the next 4 days.

Anyone else actively trying this week?
Let’s make this a ‘LIVE’ 2WW thread.
I’m 30, and trying for #1

Quite often I find a surge can happen late at night. So you may have missed it!! Eek hopefully you're in the TWW!!

@Cakelaur
The OPK’s havent really become positive. Though they did get darker and when I next tested again it had gone back down. Unless I missed the surge.
I will keep doing the temping and see if the temp stays high. Thankyou 😃

@MagicalCreatures you need to have three temps that are higher though to confirm, so keep DTD just to be sure. Also if you can attach your chart it's easier to read:

Cakelaur · 03/04/2018 22:24

@MagicalCreatures I'd say you've O'd. Do opks match up?

Hi everyone.
Thanks for joining us
Cakelaur it all sounds very positive to me. I will be keeping my 🤞 for you til the morning. Let us know ASAP.

Also, I had a temp rise this morning from 36.11 to 36.61.
Could that be that I ovulated yesterday. I’ve been having pains all day today like my usual ov pains but slightly worse.
I’ve been taking the tests around an hour time frame though. Does that have a bad impact. For example -

30th - 36.30 degrees at 7.52am
31st - 36.27 degrees at 7.15am
1st - 36.11 degrees at 7.55am
2nd - 36.11 degrees at 8.42am
3rd - 36.61 degrees at 8.34am

Can anyone help with this x

@Cakelaur no sore boobs but I never get sore boobs throughout the month! Don't don't if it makes difference having biguns!

Cakelaur · 03/04/2018 21:06

Yes @Nillynally!!! Keep us posted!! My boobs are SOOO sore!!! And I have round ligament pain. But I do get this a lot since mc. So I have no idea!!

Nillynally · 03/04/2018 20:57

@Cakelaur amazon primed some tests for tomorrow, too early but no harm. Headache, cramps, nausea.. we will see! Good luck! X x x

EmaLu · 03/04/2018 19:44

Good luck ladies 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Cakelaur · 03/04/2018 19:37

Welcome newbies!!! Who's testing soon? I'm going to test tomorrow, 9dpo... temps are on the rise nicely, boobs are hurting, headache today and a bit of pink cm yesterday. All things I had last time I got bfp.

Knittinggurl · 03/04/2018 19:09

Please can I join? I am on CD 17 and think I OV yesterday/today. If I get a BFP the baby would be due on 23 December but I'm almost 40 and don't want to miss a month, I'd feel super lucky and over the moon any time. This is TTC cycle #4

MrsY87 · 03/04/2018 18:35

Can I join? Ttc#3 DD is 3.5 and DS is 7m. We've not used any contraception since DS was born but now on CD19 after my 1st AF so calling this cycle 1.

Got a static smiley on my CB yesterday am and today have had a lot of ewcm today plus some pains so assuming today is ov day!

DD was conceived 1st month, DS took 10 cycles with 2 early mcs so no idea how long it will take this time! Fx we all get our Xmas babies Smile

BLM18 · 03/04/2018 18:18

13dpo day 27 back ache period type pains, boobs sore. negative test. So think af must be on her way!

Stephisaur · 03/04/2018 17:31

DH and I have just booked to go to Disneyland Paris, so currently taking bets on the likelihood of me being pregnant when we go in July 😂 would be typical as I love rollercoasters 🙄

Cakelaur · 03/04/2018 13:02

@MagicalCreatures it could be IB. I did have it with my last bfp. Head ache and slightly light headedness today and a bit of a cold for the last couple days. All things I had with last bfp. But I have NO idea if it's all just coincidence. I'll test tomorrow

ClumsyFool · 03/04/2018 00:54

Hi, I’m just into my 2ww, haven’t had a regular cycle since my chemical in Jan, up to then had been 26/27 days but since then I’ve had one that was 30 and one that was 24 so I have no idea when af is actually due but I’m thinking 11th April going on my cycles from before.
We used preseed for the first time this month and I’m desperately going to try not to POAS til at least the 10th which will be 11DPO but I don’t trust myself. I don’t have anymore tests in the house so as long as I don’t buy them I can’t test, I need to stay away from amazon basically!! Fingers crossed for everyone.

Cakelaur
Thanks for having a look at my bbt chart. I don’t check cm but I use opk’s and they were getting darker over 3 days and then yesterday it faded to barely anything and then today slightly darker again.
And I don’t want to get your hopes up but you don’t think that could be implantation bleed do you.
I had exactly the same 8dpo and I tested the next day and got a very faint positive x

Me on day 11 of my cycle. Don't really want a December baby but being trying 18 months and don't want to loose a month.
Have PCOS but been taking inofolic and my last cycle was 34 days so fingers crossed. TTC baby number 2

Cakelaur · 02/04/2018 22:21

Ahhhh pink cm on wiping! 😭 I hope it's not AF early!!

loupelou7 · 02/04/2018 21:25

I know all the waiting is killer isn't it!

I'm still crossing fingers for you all and for December babies!!!!

I am currently 6 dpo and yesteday eve had left lower period pains and tonight left lower stabby pains again...probably just wind lol but your mind starts running away with you doesn't it!

lrwe · 02/04/2018 18:50

@magicalcreatures nope not ovulated yet - but I think I’m gearing up to it!

@cakelaur I’m hoping it’s a little earlier this month, definitely gearing up that way so fingers crossed!

All the waiting!!

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 02/04/2018 18:25

@BLM18 there's still time if AF hasn't turned up! Fingers crossed for you!

I'm still waiting for static smiley face to show up-I'm hopeful it'll be in the next couple of days.

How is everyone?

BLM18 · 02/04/2018 18:03

Tested this morning 12dpo / cd 26 bfn! Cycles are 27 or 28 so guess I will know soon enough!! Boobs are very veiny and heavy
