Hop aboard the Santa sleigh for a festive baby (late Dec /early Jan)

[Crazytictac]

Jingle jingle....anybody joining me? I figure this HAS to be my month if I'm starting the thread :o

And hello to all the new people :)

Hey combat that is great news about selling your flat, well done! What is the 'family house' like?

Strawberry it doesn't sound like you'll be here for long since you already have a bfp! But nice to have you on board in the meantime...

Great news Combat and congratulations Strawberry!

So my life has just turned into a sitcom. Not only is my friend pregnant again but next week we are going on holiday with Sil and her DH who have a new baby. For part of the holiday we will be staying with DH's 3 cousins. Wife of one cousin is due in June and have now just found out other two cousins are also pregnant (one with twins). So, barring the post-menopausal auntie, I will be the only woman there who isn't pregnant or has a tiny baby

Congrats Strawberry.

We had our BFP this morning. Was shaking so much when I saw it. Rather faint line compared to the control one but as I've been naughty and tested uber early I'm not overly worried.

Told the bestest friend ever and you ladies. Everyone else can wait for another 8 weeks :o

30 Messages in with BFP's already, this must be a lucky thread. Fingers crossed for you all.

Thank you debeez lime and panda I got the official clear blue digital confirmation this afternoon. I hope it is a very lucky thread!! I'm a little daunted and I think I might delete the 2 obem's I have on the sky planner. Good luck everyone.

Hi all, another newbie here.. not 100% au fait with all the abbreviations here but Im ttc #3 had mirena taken out in January and had first proper AF beginning of March [and OMFG did she return to me with a vengeance!]

She is due again next week around Wednesday, from the MN calendar I was ovulating the second week in March so we have fingers crossed.

Have sore boobs, feeling very slightly nauseous and absolutely tired out but I did anyway before Af came before so Im not getting too excited yet.

Congrats to all you bfps I'm joining in the hope of bringing everyone else and myself some luck, I'm currently on cd43 and 9 days late, tested on day 35 bfn no sign of af yet just a few cramps lots of twinges/pulling slightly sore boobs and exhausted with hunger pangs! plan to test again on Friday 30th if she's not shown herself! I have had very long cycles in the past up to 46 days hence why not getting my hopes up yet but seem to have settled average 33 days since coming off the pill x

treats I'm impressed with the fertility reindeer necklace find! I think we should purchase several and chuck them on the Christmas tree as decorations (it's a very big sleigh)

Welcome olive, purpleblue, pinkie29, and strawberry. And huge congrats to strawberry and debeez. Magical sleigh already!

Great news about your flat combat, these good luck things come in 3's......so wonder what else you might like

Aw panda, that's unbelievable. Look at this way, statistically out of that group, you'll be the next one to get pregnant...have a in the meantime

Cheers for the top up limeleaf, you're a very good host I must say

Ho ho ho... Santa has been giving out bfp pressies on this thread already... congratulations ladies!

Panda I really feel for you considering your holiday companions! Bitter irony there. I think you have to look at it like Crazy said, it is definitely your turn next! Is it you going to Florida? (sorry I remember it was someone on the last thread!)

Welcome purple and pinkie... getting colourful here, isn't it?!

I am so impressed with our Christmas tree. In addition to the reindeer fertility charm, maybe we need to decorate with a few spare sticks ready for the coming POAS-fest?! Not sure how pretty that would be!

Hope those of you mid-cycle are SWI-ing away this weekend. DH is back from his travels so we can again!

This will be a very unusual Christmas tree Limeleaf :o

Hi everyone
I'm back to see what 'presents' arrive for us on this festive sleigh! Crazy thanks for steering and big wave to all the new girls!

Lime with all our opks and Internet tests I bet we could decorate tons of trees! Ha.

So with my short cycle Im on cd 13 already, no doubt the next 2 weeks will drag though - cue my spot here with you all to keep me sane!! :)

I'm ready to join the sleigh please! AF due April 10th.

I used to think we'd take a break from TTC in April/may as didn't really want a dec/jan baby. How silly is that!

Can I join the race please? Just had the horrible old witch arrive!

Ttc %231 third cycle cd1

That's ttc no 1 not sure why the hash doesn't work in my phone!

Hi Cejay, my AF is due 10 April too, so maybe we can test at the same time.

Sorry AF arrived Pinkie.

I'm jumping on board too! Definitely seems like a lucky one!
TTC #1, cycle #2 AF due around 7th of April (only came off the pill two months ago so cycles are sorting themselves out!)
Lets hope Santa takes note!
Have been SWI every day/other day this month so far, am bloody exhausted but surely it cant all be in vain and I will get my BFP!

Someone keep my seat for me.

AF is still sitting outside waiting. However, she has been notable by her absence today! I got a BFN but it's only 10dpo. There is still hope.

Welcome YaYa

Thought I'd update the stats since we have quite a few additions. Add your details if you'd like to...
Crazy feel free to reclaim them whenever you want!

Here's hoping for many BFPs and lots of mulled on the way. I am doing my bit with some G&Bs hazelnut and raisin and a glass of Pinot. Sunday evening is nice with wine.

Hope you've all had an ok weekend!

Ooops sorry Lime cross posts!

No broadband for two days so haven't been able to get back on (spent most of Friday on the phone to broadband people, doing my best to fix it. DH just looks at the router and it suddenly starts working again. Clearly it malfunctioned once it couldn't detect any testosterone....)

Congrats debeez and Strawberry! Obviously we're a lucky thread. Hope everything goes well for you.

Panda - if you're going somewhere with a good local vineyard, suggest a trip out to do a tasting session. Oh, no - wait - you'll be the only person able to go!

AF all done and dusted now - thank goodness. It wasn't as heavy as last time, which I think is a good sign. I'm not sure that things had totally settled down after the pregnancy during my last cycle, so a more 'normal' period suggests that we're getting back on track.

Is anyone else charting by the way? I've got my copy of Taking Charge of your Fertility and revived my membership of Fertility Friend. It's really helpful for knowing what's going on in your cycle - if I hadn't been charting I wouldn't have known that I ov'd really late last time round, and would have driven myself crazy when my period was late as well, if I hadn't already known.

Hey French that's funny, it obviously took us both a while to type up all the stats! Agree it is better to put AF due date, gives an idea when we'll be testing, too. I guess the number after your name is your age, right? I am 36...

I am enjoying a glass of tonight too. I have given up chocolate for lent (although I broke it when AF was visiting ).

Had a good weekend - busy in the garden and SWI when we have a moments peace. DH put the trampoline up for the kids again... good to have summer on the way.

hope you all have a (ahem) productive week!

Glad you got the broadband working again treats. Yes I'm charting using my homemade chart in MS Excel, all based on Taking Charge of your Fertility. It is really useful to understand more about my body.

I think you're doing really well to have your cycle settling down so quickly after being pregnant. I hope this is your month. My very lovely friend lost her first daughter at birth and then went on to have her second exactly a year later. This little girl is now 7 years old and she has a younger sister and brother too.

Ah fab you saved me a job limeleaf, I did think about updating the stats list earlier but got sidetracked with a glass of wine, another Easter egg and Dexter on DVD. Hope you get several moments of peace .

Good idea too frenchlime it can get a bit jiggery pokey to read sometimes.

For you charters, is it easy to do? I rarely sleep through so not sure if that would make a difference for temps etc
