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

Mimi
I don’t think it’s IB
Going by FF saying I OV on cd17 then I’m 4po.
From the change in temp that I had on cd14 then I’m 7dpo

When I got my BFP last time I noticed IB on cd7/8
I’ve had sensitive nipples the last couple of days but I’m guessing that’s the progesterone, even though I’ve not noticed it before TTC.
But our minds like to play tricks on us don’t they.

Cakelaur any luck yet?

@clumsyfool, you summed up everything l was feeling yesterday. I didn't like the backache but I enjoyed the afternoon nap.fx we have good news at the end of the week.

Mimilicious013 · 09/04/2018 06:01

how many dpo are you @magicalcreatures, could it be ib? fxfx
@strawberrye , good luck on your looooooong tww

Mimilicious013 · 09/04/2018 05:45

11 dpo here. it's getting exciting! !!
fx for a bfp today @cakelaur. hope af did not sneak up on you last night hun.

strawberrye · 08/04/2018 21:56

I'm currently DPO3 according to fertility friend and bbt, not using ovulation sticks at the moment as I'm on the control arm of the Clearblu study. Too early for symptoms I think!! I have to POAS on 17/4 for the study which will be DPO12...going to be such a looooong wait until then!

ClumsyFool · 08/04/2018 21:02

I’m 9dpo and CD24, pretty sure af is on the way as today I feel exhausted and irritable, I’ve had to bite my tongue all day and just be quiet as I could have a row in an empty room. Even had an afternoon nap. My back is also hurting and I’ve had mild pelvic pains on and off all day. Looks like this isn’t going to be my cycle, how’s everyone else doing?

The 2WW really is the longest 2 weeks ever isn’t it?
My FF app is telling me it thinks I OV cd17 (which would be normal for me) even though I had a peak 3 days before that (cd14) I’ve had 2 peaks in my temp. Is that normal?
And today I wiped (sorry tmi) and there was a tiny bit of darker then usual discharge (very light hint of brown) which I’ve never had before.
But am I right in thinking that some people have mentioned getting that after OV?

Still no AF for me. A day late now. But possibly due to the progesterone cream. I'll test again tomorrow if no AF. Temp drop today so more than likely I've just lengthened my LP and af will show up soon.

Mimilicious013 · 08/04/2018 12:21

@Nillynally , hope she stays away. mine is likely to come bang on Wednesday like she usually does so not even tempted to poas. hate when unwanted visitors just show up anyway lol.
@alicescarlet, sorry for af hun. upwards and onwards

Stephisaur · 08/04/2018 12:19

@Mimilicious013 no early POAS for me. I went a bit mad last month with it and it just made me miserable. I’m also not sure whether we dtd enough anyway as DH had a bit of an emotional wobble during FW. AF is due Thursday but if she doesn’t arrive I will probably test next Saturday xx

Mimilicious013 · 08/04/2018 12:14

@winterwarmers and @owlpatrol sorry ov is taking long. lots more bd and you catch the egg.
@catren and @stephisaur, do you plan on poas early?
where is everyone else in their cycle? ?rooting for more bfps

Nillynally · 08/04/2018 12:09

@Mimilicious013 no news from me, AF due Tuesday, took one yesterday and still nothing, might just wait for her to arrive! X

Mimilicious013 · 08/04/2018 12:06

@BLM18, @Nillynally any news from you ladies? ?
@magicalcreatures, how is the tww going for you? how many more years to go? ?

Mimilicious013 · 08/04/2018 12:01
