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

@PickettBowtruckles 🤞🏻 for tomorrow morning!! How exciting!!!

I didn’t intend to TTC for a Christmas baby but I’ve had a shadow of a line for the last couple of days on internet cheapies, going to use a FRER in the morning for confirmation. I’m really not believing it just yet but (as all TTC’s do...) I got a bit overexcited and checked when I’d be due if I was pregnant based on conception date and it’s literally Christmas Day! Never particularly fancied a Christmas baby and now I want it more than anything...

Thank you everyone! What a shock! Did 2 more this afternoon and both were clear positives!! Congratulations to the rest of you with bfp this month. Keep positive everyone. I felt so negative this morning but it will happen :) xx

Cakelaur · 15/04/2018 20:08

Yay @Monopo1y AMAZING!! Massive congrats babe!!!

Knittinggurl · 15/04/2018 19:34

I thought I was out this month, but not sure if maybe I'm still in.... not sure when I OV but Ovia thinks it was CD17 (based on OPKs) and FF CD18 (based on BBT rise). So I'm either 12 DPO or 11DPO. I've been POAS with no joy since about 7 DPO 🤦🏼‍♀️

This evening I've had a tiny bit of pink discharge and my lower back has been intensely painful yesterday and today. Is it possible that it's implantation? I have got my hopes up ridiculously again, having been super sad the past few days 🙄. With DD I had IB at 8DPO and BFP at 9 DPO so it seems late. Did a FRER just now which was BFN (and a complete waste!). Is tomorrow morning too early to POAS again? How long after implantation might you expect a BFP?

Stephisaur · 15/04/2018 08:24

Thanks all 💕

I wanted to wait until the weekend to test, and given that I hyperventilated for a good hour after my test then it was probably best I did 😂

Stephisaur
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That’s amazing. Such a good strong line too. There’s no mistaking it. How did you hold off for so long with those symptoms.
The minute my boobs twitched I was POAS. Haha.
Come on ladies, let’s get some more Christmas babies on the way!!!

I'm so excited!!! Come join on the December 18 babies

Stephisaur · 15/04/2018 07:32

@cakelaur either 17 or 19. I think 19, app thinks 17 😂 err December 20th by the looks of it 😬 I was sort of expecting it - went off tea which is so unusual for me and it was making me feel a bit sick but at the same time I didn’t think we’d DTD at the right time so I assumed it was my pill comedown making me mental again 😂

Cakelaur · 15/04/2018 07:25

Sorry was so excited it hit post too quick!! @Stephisaur were you expecting this? How many dpo! What's your EDD?? So many questions!!!

Cakelaur · 15/04/2018 07:24

Omg!!! @Stephisaur AMAZING!!!

strawberrye · 15/04/2018 07:19

Congratulations @MagicalCreatures and @Stephisaur, sorry that the witch has arrived @MrsY87.

I'm trying to hold out testing for a couple more days. Got a BFN at 9dpo yesterday and thought I was out but then my temp has shot up this morning, really hoping this is a sign of a possible pregnancy triphasic BBT chart! Fingers crossed!

Stephisaur · 15/04/2018 06:39

Couldn’t sleep so thought I might as well take my test. I’m not going to lie, I’m having a tiny bit of a panic right now while my husband is asleep in the next room! 😬 I think I’m excited 😂

I'm shitting myself @MagicalCreatures I'm right there with you!! And there is an awesome bfp group that you can come join. We've all been through it. Some more than once!

MrsY87 · 14/04/2018 16:34

@MagicalCreatures it's totally normal to be anxious after a previous loss, I remember being so anxious with DS after my mc just take each day as it comes and if you can allow yourself to be excited as your pregnancy is more likely to be successful than not. Big hugs, it's an anxious time x
