Who’s TTC a Christmas Baby. March 2018

341 replies

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

@MagicalCreatures your chart looks text book so far. See if you can get a couple more BD in. You're prob due to ovulate any day soon. Are you measuring cm or opks?

@Nillynally what everyone else said. It's physically impossible to get a positive at 7dpo. Wait two more days if you can. And I'd grab a bunch of internet cheapies from amazon cos then you're not pissing on a fiver each time. And then once you think you see a line use an frer.

@AliceScarlett sorry the witch came babe. Have a nice glass of wine and a bubble bath.

@lrwe I'd say you haven't ovulated yet but possibly within the next week judging by your last chart.

Well I took another one this morning (I know I know, no willpower!) and interested to see what you all think if that's OK. I can see a line, DH not convinced!

Any first timers really nervous? I don't know how to feel, I know what I want but I'm also really nervous that I am...

Welcome 😃 are you saying your not sure if the tests are negative? Fx for you if AF hasn’t shown yet you’re still in with a chance x

Alice so sorry ☹️
Are you having or have you seen anyone about fertility treatment if it’s been 27 cycles.

Irwe
Thankyou for the comparison. I feel like your chart this month looks quite similar to mine but I just haven’t had that peak of ovulation yet. Am I right in thinking it looks like you ovulated today or yesterday according to yours.

I need your willpower @nillynally! Boo for af @alice but at least you can crack on with the next cycle (I know, rubbish!)
@stephisaur glad you had a good easter!

AliceScarlett · 02/04/2018 12:00

AF :( cycle 27 :( fed up.

Stephisaur · 02/04/2018 11:16

Morning ladies :)

Still another 10 days until AF is due to rear her ugly head for me 🙄

Ate far too much chocolate yesterday and had a few cheeky G&Ts over the weekend. Hope all is well with you!

lrwe · 02/04/2018 11:08

@magicalcreatures I wish I could help. I have been temping a couple of months and no idea!

However my cycles are generally on the longer side 32-35 days. Here are my temp charts if that means anything to you!

I won't test until the weekend, I'm far too tight!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 02/04/2018 11:00

Hi can I join you? Fx everyone who is testing! I stupidly tested at 9,10,11 dpo so now only have one frer left gah! We're not ttc as such and DH swears the tests are negative, but I don't know! Af is late unless I oved late, which I often do. I'd love a sibling for DS. Suppose I just have to wait!

AliceScarlett · 02/04/2018 10:35

7dpo... Don't do it! You're throwing away money :( get some internet cheapies instead and save FRER until the day your period is due.

The frer’s are the best. Or any pink dye test really. Just don’t get the blue dye tests. They really are rubbish.

@Mimilicious013 haha. 7dpo not cd7! See the crazy is taking over!!! So so excited about this month!!
@AliceScarlett sorry AF hasn't showed and you haven't got a bfp. That's the worst kind of limbo. Hopefully one or other shows up soon.

Morning.
Nillynally how many dpo are you. 🤞
Mimilicious welcome to the group. Remember it only takes one little swimmer to get that egg 😃
winterwarmers good luck

I still havent ovulated. Cycle day 14 today so maybe I’m having a longer one this month. This is my first month temping so if I upload a picture, can someone take a look x

OP posts:
AliceScarlett · 02/04/2018 09:15

Officially a week late today, couldn't be doing with testing. Feel like I'm pissing on a fiver!
Might Google what my due date would be if I did concieve this month.

Welcome Owl

Mimi how long have you been trying for?

I'm going to keep busy today and restest tomorrow with a frer.

Mimilicious013 · 02/04/2018 09:08

morning ladies
@AliceScarlett , I absolutely feel what you are going through. lt gets disheartening with each cycle. gl though
hie @owlpatrol, best of luck too and hope you get to go to the doctor with a bfp already.
@nillynally and @emily, enjoy your symptom spotting lol
@cakelaur are cd7 or 7dpo today hun? all the best peeing on either opks or hpts

Owlpatrol · 02/04/2018 08:36

Hi ladies can I Join? I'm only cd6 but would love this month to be our month. Have been trying for 16 months now but I am staying positive again this month and have a dr booked so fx for all xx

Nillynally · 02/04/2018 08:34

@EmilyS92 me too! Googling all weird and wonderful early pregnancy signs. Husbands not playing the game at all, refuses to talk about it until there's a BFP Hmm

winterwarmers · 02/04/2018 08:19

cd 14 got a flashing smiley on my ovulation test better start dtd as we have only managed it once this month 😂

EmilyS92 · 02/04/2018 00:26

Wow! We sound the same!! This is our first month TTC and the wait for doing a test seems so long!! I’m six days away from my missed period, so don’t want to test too soon but I’ve been googling everything!! My nipples have been sore for 3 days and felt cramps around what would be implantion date.. but I think my head is running away with me! 🙈

Cakelaur · 01/04/2018 22:05

Cd7 tomorrow. Defo Gonna have to resist the urge to not test!!! Crazy talk I know. But I'm so excited about this month. So many exciting things happening!!!

AliceScarlett · 01/04/2018 14:03

Yeah I didn't temp this month. After 26 cycles I'm pretty lazy/despondent!
