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

I plan not to POAS. If I can help it!!!!
I really don’t want to see a negative line.
If I suddenly get really sore boobs and nauseous like last time then I will but if I carry on with no symptoms like this then I won’t bother. Just wait for AF.
I don’t think my BBT chart is very promising either.
Yes the men have it super easy.

I don't think I have any symptoms atm! But then I don't think I had any with DS either Hmm
I tell myself not to think about it, but it's so difficult! The men have it so easy don't they!!!

MrsY87 · 12/04/2018 07:46

I'm 9 dpo today...pre my DS my LP was only 10/11 days so if it's the same AF is due over the weekend. I've been having backache for the past 3 days so assuming AF is on her way but Can't decide whether to get a FRER and test tomorrow or just wait for AF to arrive....also we only managed to DTD twice during FW so not feeling that hopeful! What do you think...POAS or wait?!

strawberrye · 12/04/2018 06:42

@MagicalCreatures I'm 7DPO today and also finding it really hard not to test and symptom spot but I seem to be distracted by it even more than normal this month! When do you plan to POAS?

Tittifers
Hopeful, yes!!! But then it can be sooo disappointing. ☹️
Have you had any symptoms at all?
I just wanna wake up in the morning with the sudden pain in my boobs like I had last time and test and it be positive.
A dream world right? X

@MagicalCreatures I'm somewhere around there too I think?! Gave up on OPKs-only flashy faces, think I missed a couple of days too so hoping I just missed the surge fx.
I'm so impatient, but kinda like this hopeful stage before reality crashes in!!

Is anyone else 7dpo tomorrow?

How hard is it not to test 😩

I’ve had constant pains since ovulation and a real fullness down there and today a pressure down there when I wee.
Don’t want to do the whole symptom spotting thing but when I fell pregnant before my mc I had exactly the same feeling except this time my boobs aren’t hurting at all.
I don’t want to blame it on the progesterone though because last month after ovulation I had none of these feelings.
It’s driving me crazy!!

So much good news!! Sticky bean thoughts to all!

ClumsyFool · 11/04/2018 13:45

@MagicalCreatures that chart looks good, you’re on the rise so I’ll keep everything crossed for a bfp coming your way soon.
@cakelaur what a fab pic to see!!

Nillynally · 11/04/2018 11:34

@Cakelaur ok just worked out I'm 15 DPO today. Waiting game!

Cakelaur · 11/04/2018 11:05

Oooh @Nillynally I had that until 15dpo!!! @MagicalCreatures your chart looks perfect. And temps seem to be on the rise. Could be in for a bfp!!! 🤞🏻

That’s a great line Cakelaur

My BBT chart is all over the place. I’m really confused with what’s going on. It’s not looking hopeful though. I’ll post a pic.
Could someone explain it to me?

Sorry my last post was supposed to say sorry to @ClumsyFool !
@Cakelaur tested this morning and BFN but no AF! Hmm

Cakelaur · 11/04/2018 10:38

Hopefully can post these today! My cbfm has finally caught up with the news and has given me my bfp!! No mistaking that.

I've got bloods being done today and a 6week scan at Epu in two weeks! 🤞🏻this is a sticky one.

@Nillynally I really hope AF stayed away!!! Have you tested again?

Well AF is due tomorrow but I’ll test Saturday if she doesn’t appear. Woke up today feeling a bit bleugh and currently feeling a bit sick :(

Cakelaur · 10/04/2018 20:17

Thank you ladies! I'm so scared!! But yet so hopeful!

YassQueen · 10/04/2018 19:21

Congrats cakelaur

I am now the mum of a 4-year-old Shock I don't feel old enough! Had a lovely day out for DD's birthday today. Going to test a week today I think.

Nillynally · 10/04/2018 19:08

@Mimilicious013 @Cakelaur sorry ladies and congratulations @Cakelaur Easter Biscuit
AF due tomorrow, feel emotional today and had cramps yesterday so I guess I'll be on tomorrow! Never mind, next month! X

MrsY87 · 10/04/2018 19:00

YES!!!!! Cakelaur

I just knew it was your month. From everything you’d be saying it was only a matter of time before you got your BFP!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!

And ClumsyFool just want to send you a hug and some flowers 💐

ClumsyFool · 10/04/2018 15:31

@mimilicious013 thanks and sorry to hear you’re in the same boat Flowers have gone from spotting to normal af now, not heavy thankfully but emotionally this one is a bitch! Keep crying over absolutely nothing and feel exhausted. Had to go hide in the toilets at work for a cry earlier, tomorrow is a new day and will hopefully feel more like myself.
So glad we’ve had some good news on the thread though it’s lovely to read.

winterwarmers · 10/04/2018 14:45

@Cakelaur congratulations :)

Cakelaur · 10/04/2018 14:32

I've had a bit of heartburn and on Saturday I had some dizziness whenever I stood up from gardening. But no major symptoms.

Knittinggurl · 10/04/2018 14:32

Sorry cross-post @Cakelaur !

Cakelaur · 10/04/2018 14:31

@Mimilicious013 it won't let me add any more photos from today! Haha I'll add tomorrow.

@Knittinggurl in term of symptoms I feel great. The odd boob twinge it uterus stretch but mainly I'm just terrified!!
