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

Hello ladies! Can I join?

I'm 26
TTC #1 since late October 2017, onto cycle #6 CD11
Early miscarriage late Jan 2018

Always thought before I started TTC that I would want to avoid a Christmas baby, but having had a loss I now don't really care when I'd be due as long as I can have a healthy pregnancy and baby. Fingers crossed for us all!

Sorry to hear about your loss @MagicalCreatures

I’m in tww currently day 24. Christmas baby isn’t ideal but didn’t want to not try and it’s been 9 months now. Good luck everyone!

@magicalcreatures yep I’m temping, just started my opk testing, this month I splashed out for digit so that’s been kinda fun so far!

Stephisaur · 31/03/2018 11:04

Morning ladies :)

Sorry to hear about your MC magicalcreatures 💐

CD17 of cycle #2 for me (TTC #1) so in my 2WW now :) EDD would be 20/12

Pretty sure I ovulated on Tuesday so now it’s just a waiting game :)

I'm not doing too much symptom spotting cos since the mmc, but body has had weird twinges like when I was pregnant. But we DTD 8 days in a row from cd8-cd15 and I ovulated on cd14. I'm using natural progesterone cream from 1dpo-12dpo and eating pineapple core from 1dpo-5dpo. We used fertility check lube every time and I have a nice relaxing weekend. There is NOTHING more I can do this month. So I'm quite relaxed. The TWW is killing me only cos I'm impatient and wanna test but I'm optimistic for the first time in a while. And hey.... if it's not this month... it might be next month.

I am too! TTC #2, currently on 4th cycle?!
Long cycles seem to be settling around 38days atm but got my first flashy face on OPK this morning so fingers crossed this week is a good one!!
A Christmas baby isn’t ideal necessary, but hey ho...I’m not going to be picky!!

So sorry about your MMC
Looks like your in for a fun Easter weekend Smile

So for the ones who have already ovulated -
Are you doing the ‘dreaded’ symptom spotting yet.
I knew I’d conceived the first time about 4dpo x

I am too! This is my first cycle post MMC so I would be very lucky - we can but dream!

Got a static smiley on CB OPK this morning so will be getting busy this weekend. I'm 29 and TTC #1. I think my due date would be around 16th Dec.

Welcome to the group hummuss
What medication are you taking. And is it to specifically help shorten your cycles or something then.
And ofcorse, never want to miss a cycle. Like some people say, baby’s come whenever they want. Could be 2 months early or 2 weeks late x

hummusscot · 31/03/2018 09:07

Hello, me! I checked the due date calculator and it said if we got pregnant this cycle I would be due 30th December. Still, don't want to miss a cycle!

TTC #1, Cycle 9 I think, first cycle using medication. Last cycle was 45 days and the one before that was 49 so I'm hoping the medication evens it out a bit! No idea when I'll ovulate but if the meds do their work I should in the next week.

Sorry for your loss too.
I feel the same. Wanted this, wanted that. Now don’t want anything else but my baby.

So you’ll be testing soon.
I got my first BFP at 9dpo

Hi loupelou7

Morning ladies. Sorry for your loss @MagicalCreatures. I'm in the same boat, 3rd cycle since MC.
I'm now 5dpo and due date would be 17th December. I never wanted a Christmas baby until I lost my little bean. Now I couldn't care less when a baby comes I just wanna hold my rainbow.
Oh and stats:
I'm 33
TTC #1
3rd cycle since mc. (Fell pregnant first time after almost a year trying)
🤞🏻for some sticky Christmas beans!!
