Who’s TTC a Christmas Baby. March 2018

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

*day or two

Mimilicious013 · 01/04/2018 12:27

oh my word @BLM18 and @cakelaur you two are poas addicts haha. you definitely must not stay together otherwise the bin will be full of hpt test. at least you are using ic, phew. BLM18 don't lose hope yet. another day or those tests can change fx.

Cakelaur · 01/04/2018 12:04

@BLM18 don't give up hope yet. Not out until af shows. Could have ovulated a little later.

@AliceScarlett there are no temps on the chart. Not sure if it shared properly.

BLM18 · 01/04/2018 11:20

@cakelaur tested again...bfn. 11dpo... wasn’t fmu but was 4 hr hold. Losing hope!

AliceScarlett · 01/04/2018 11:11

@cakelaur my chart is a state, barely managed to DTD much let alone temp this month.
Interestingly I had a 21 day progesterone test to check for ov so it will be interesting to get those results on Tuesday and see if they tie in with the second patch of ewcm.

It had to be fmu... if you haven't been for a wee yet... a little IC won't hurt!! Haha!! Trying to live vicariously through you. I can't start testing until next week!! Haha

BLM18 · 01/04/2018 09:44

@cakelaur ha don’t encourage me!!!! Trying to resist testing again today. Have a drawer full of ic

Cakelaur · 01/04/2018 09:38

@Mimilicious013 omg 2 Xmas babies!!! That would be amazing!!! What a great time in your house hold!! 😍
@BLM18 sorry about the bfn. Give it a couple of days and test again! (Obviously I would be pissing on 6 tests a day at this point!! 🤣😂🙈)

BLM18 · 01/04/2018 08:37

@Mimilicious013 @cakelaur I did test yesterday - 10dpo and bfn! I just couldn’t hold out

hummusscot · 01/04/2018 08:32

@Magical I'm on soy isoflavones

Totally agree with just wanting a healthy baby and not focusing on the date this time.

Mimilicious013 · 01/04/2018 08:15

@cakelaur, well done hun on the dedication. lots of bd there. you definitely have a great chance fx
@BLM18 , not long to go for you. plan on poas soon? glad

Mimilicious013 · 01/04/2018 08:11

hello ladies, jumping aboard too.so sorry for all the losses and fx for Christmas babies. LMP was 19th of march giving me a due date of the 24th of Dec. not too hopeful because dh hasn't been around and only managed to dtd once the day before ov ((sobbing ))

3dpo
7th cycle after mmc and 2 years to get that bfp
dd is4 born 19 Dec and took a year to conceive

Nillynally · 01/04/2018 08:11

Morning! This is our first month TTC properly, my LMP was 17th March (my 30th!) meaning in due in the 22nd December! Didn’t intend a Christmas baby but it might fun! I know it’s way too early but I’ve had slight nausea all this week and cramps all day yesterday. Easter Grin

Cakelaur · 01/04/2018 08:05

@BLM18 omg!! How have you not tested? Are you waiting til you're late?

BLM18 · 01/04/2018 06:50

@Cakelaur I am 11dpo if I ovulated on day 14. Which is day 25 of 28 day cycle. So not long to go.

MagicalCreatures · 31/03/2018 23:24

Welcome everyone. This is lovely.
We’ve got some nice, positive people on this thread.
Considering the amount of MC and chemicals going around.
Sorry for all your losses Flowers

I think everyone agrees, once you’ve been through something like that or have been TTC for a long time, you don’t care when or how you get your baby, as long as you get it.
So anyway, we want to hear everything. Whether you want to post a squinty picture of a test or have a good whinge about the lack of early symptoms, were all hear for the same reason.

I’m babysitting my niece tonight who is sleeping in my bed, husband is on the sofa bed (poor thing, but he’s amazing) so looks like DTD is out for us tonight Grin
Still 2-4 days till ovulation though so I think I’ve still got time x

@AliceScarlett what are your temps doing? Possibly anovulatory cycle maybe? Or just late ovulation? Feel free to post your chart and I can give a second opinion if you'd like.

@BLM18 same as u babe. What dpo are ya? I'm 5 today. Eek!

BLM18 · 31/03/2018 22:58

@TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong I’m holding out ok. Symptom spotting but not getting many symptoms but every little thing I’m googling! I tell myself this is the month I will remain calm and not turn into a crazy person but then the tww comes around! This month it seems dtd was most perfectly timed so did all we could!

AliceScarlett · 31/03/2018 22:42

Hi everyone,

My LMP was the 1st March. No sign of AF and FF predicted it would arrive last Monday. So I'm in serious limbo land 😞

Will test again tomorrow, but CBD as Sainsbury's didn't have any FRERs 😡

Stephisaur · 31/03/2018 22:27

@TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong I’m not doing so bad this month. Last month was killer but this month I’m feeling a bit more chilled out. I guess it’ll be what it’ll be, honestly I’m just happy I seem to have ovulated this month as I’d been on the pill for 10 years so it’s nice that everything still seems to work for the time being 😂

Cakelaur · 31/03/2018 22:07

As for alcohol, I'm not doing great! Haha, too many reason to celebrate. I'm currently 5dpo. Haven't drunk since O. Until tonight I had a glass of wine. I've cut back the coffee. But I find that if I cut back loads I feel shit when AF arrives. So I'll stop once I get my BFP. I try to cut back in the TWW.

Cakelaur · 31/03/2018 22:04

@Tobebythesea totally the same as you. Any healthy baby with do at any time.
The cream is serenity natural progesterone cream. Totally self diagnosed. But after my miscarriage and a lot of rocky LP temps I just decided it can't hurt. You rub it on twice a day from ovulation until AF. If I get my bfp this time, I'm going for full private testing as I can't handle a second loss. It totally broke me.

@TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong It's taken me a LONG time to get to this outlook. A lot of break downs and a lot of misery since my MMC. And now I've removed all deadlines and barriers and just said hey we'll keep trying until we get there and so what if it's not a 2018 baby. All i care is that we get our baby. Plus we did everything we could this month. So I feel good. If we don't catch the egg and get our little bean, then it's really not meant to be!

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 31/03/2018 21:02

Sorry to hear about all the MC and chemicals.

@BLM18 @Stephisaur how are you holding up in the TWW atm?
@Cakelaur I love you outlook ‘if it’s not this month there’s always next month’ so true! I just get so impatient.

It took a year first time round to get our LO, I can’t deal with that again!!

Are you all being good with the alcohol and not having any??

Tobebythesea · 31/03/2018 20:34

Hello everyone. TTC #2 after mc in early February. I’m pretty sure I ovulated on Wednesday. I used to want a boy as #1 is a girl and not a Christmas baby. A mc changes everything and I don’t care. I would just like a healthy baby.

We used sperm friendly lube. What is the progesterone cream?

winterwarmers · 31/03/2018 20:29

cd 12 i'm taking part in the clearblue trial but if i fall pregnant my due date would be christmas day :)

cycle 4 ttc no 2
think i had a chemical last month as had a faint positive and a very heavy period which was 2 days late
