Who’s TTC a Christmas Baby. March 2018

341 replies

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

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!!!

@Stephisaur congratulations!

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 😂

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?

Cakelaur · 15/04/2018 20:08

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

Monopo1y · 15/04/2018 20:16

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

PickettBowtruckles · 15/04/2018 20:59

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...

Cakelaur · 15/04/2018 21:30

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

@PickettBowtruckles good luck. Let us know and post a pic of the test if you can. Love to see a good positive 😃

@knittinggurl I read that it’s 4-5 days after implantation for your HCG to get to test levels xx

Cakelaur · 15/04/2018 22:38

@Knittinggurl I had Spotting at 7dpo which I thought was IB. Then had spotting at 12dpo and 13dpo which I assumed was AF. Then two days later at 15dpo BFP!!

Nillynally · 15/04/2018 23:03

Congratulations everybody!! It really is a lucky thread! I really am out for definite now, AF came with a vengeance Saturday afternoon and I've been struggling ever since, the pain is terrible which isn't like me. Good luck everyone! Xx

Monopo1y · 16/04/2018 06:24

I had lots of pain last month and felt sad so fingers crossed next month will be your month!! Saturday could be the date used when working out how far gone you are!! xxx

lrwe · 16/04/2018 16:37

This is such a lucky thread! I’m keeping my fingers (and my legs to keep the eggy in) crossed for everyone still waiting - countdown to test Tminus6 days. I have a very sick three year old to take my mind off the wait mind you.

@MagicalCreatures thank you! It really hasn’t sunk in properly yet! I’m having some mild cramps which is making me anxious but google says it’s normal so trying to calm down Blush
