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

on my break now.
I find OPKs very useful and the cheap ones on amazon make it affordable to test often, useful when you are wondering what the hell your body is doing! I have found it difficult to actually catch the surge though, often the line hasn't quite been as dark as the control, however i compare with the days before and days after (days after only if the line isn't quite as dark or darker) and if its better than those i assume that was it. I think for some people to guarantee getting an 'official' positive LH surge with the cheap sticks you need to test twice daily and be very consistent in the times you test and i can't really do that. The month i conceived i missed the surge but got a darker line than the day before then a couple of days later temp went up to 'confirm' ov.

wiggy29 - well done to your dp!

limeleaf POAS buddies it is. You never know - we might even have the same due date...

Hope everyone is having a sunny Friday morning and looking forward to the weekend, x

Using the MN calculator I have already worked out what my due date would be IF I am lucky enough that this is the month. It is based on the last day AF arrived. EDD would be 18 Dec.

Anyway it is all a bit theoretical when I'm not even pg yet!

Come on magic reindeer, do your stuff!

Ok so I've just used the MN calculator too and snap - 18/12/12. However DS was a week late so if the same happens again that would be...Christmas Day!

Anyway possibly we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves here

Yes, we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves! But it is just for fun.

Lets wait and see if this is our month.

How are you all doing? I am only 4dpo and already getting impatient!

AF finally arrived 14 days late so I guess I need a seat so...

MrsTwinks TTC#1 Cycle 3 AF due May 1st (or whenever she likes )

Well ladies I am going crazy this tww, doing the usual obsessing & checking! Also fingers crossed as i may have a third level of temps on my chart?

For fun i checked too - my edd would be 14dec, that would be great timing before xmas. Really hope it's our month.

I'll be testing next week if I can hold out :)

Ooh - a third level of temps sounds exciting - fingers crossed!

Yes that third level of temps does sound very promising, Roxy! Fingers crossed for you.

My temps are weirdly low this month - they were about .2 F of a degree below my usual pre-OV temps, so the coverline was lower than usual. Now they are strangely lower than my usual post OV temps - although there is a clear jump from the pre OV lows.

Hello all

Don't suppose I can join in, I mean, sit right in a corner near the door?

Please don't add me to the list as that's Too Much Pressure iykwim and I am liable to freak out well before anyone's had the chance to copy and paste me more than twice.

So I'll just, erm, watch, if that's alright

Good luck everyone

(2/3 dpo btw...not entirely sure!)

Just wandering off to look for a decent due date calculator, actually, as the MN one doesn't seem to account for my stranger than strange LP.

I will be back...probably...

Hello , I've been directed here by LimeLeafLizard having had a bit of trouble finding a bus! Is is ok if I join you all? We're ttc #4, we have 3 dd's who are 13, 11 and 17 months. I'm going to have a read through to try and work out who everyone is!

Fed up with it all this month. Why does it take so long. AF has just cleared of but I've got 2 weeks until shag week then two weeks after that until I know if it's all been for nothing.

Its the 1st of April and AF not due until 1st of May, that is forever away.

Room for one more?

Hello ladies, I've just turned 40 and TTC#2. Been trying for about a year, had tests done at docs and there's no reason so far why things haven't happened. All very frustrating. I agree pipbin everything takes so blinking long....waiting weeks before trying again. It's crap. Anyway, AF due fri 13th April (very apt...) and really feel we've given it our best shot this month (without giving TMI we've DTD far more than usual).

Anyway, good luck ladies and thanks for letting me on board. Here's to our BFPs!!

Sorry for joining and then going silent, I've been away on hols. AF due 10th April or thereabouts, so will wait until then to test. Been feeling sick all week, with cramps etc. With DD1 I sensed symptoms almost from the day after conception (honest!) so hoping it's the same this time around...

Im on cycle 1, btw. Am practically twins with Eleanora!

Welcome Flightty, Spring and and knicky, nice to have your company on board.

Did you have a good holiday, Olivetti? Hope the sickness didn't spoil it, and indeed that it is a good sign.

Hey Pipbin good to hear from you now your AF has left. I am still in the enthusiastic phase of TTC this time round, but I know from past experience just how it feels to have been trying for so many cycles you just are fed up of it all. Hope you get some energy back before shag week!

Hello to all the new girls!!

Pipbin I know exactly how you feel. I think the frustrating thing with ttc#1 is that the longer it takes the more you worry about it all. I know I'm feeling like that. I've had 4 friends have babies in the last couple of months and it's tough for me.

At least I have a short cycle (23 - 25) which makes it a bit easier - although I realise now I am soooo impatient.

So wide awake here at 4am - hoping its a good sign and not because I had a snooze in the sun yesterday!!

Everything crossed this month for us!

Also temps still look good - although as we all know this may be a good sign, but also could be a coincidence! :)

Anyone preggers yet?

Not yet Pinkie29 but looks like lots of us will be testing next week.

Welcome Flightty, SpringFlower and knickyknocks

Olivetti - I always wanted a twin!

Not much to report here but do have sore nipples and slight sick feeling (although I could well be imagining it). We shall see...

Hi all

Sorry I haven't been around have been around I have been mad busy at work recently, am officially just in the 2ww now but don't think we have dtd enough as DH has been quite ill so not getting my hopes up this month.

Did work out though that my Edd if I was pg this month would be 23rd December.

Hello!

I am going to keep my legs firmly crossed and saddle up a reindeer - not too hopeful though. We just decided to start TTC last week and I was already half way through my fertile time (so says my I-phone app - Obvs very scientific).

Sooo...

EmpireBiscuit TTC #1, cycle 1, AF due 11 April or thereabouts.
