Who’s TTC a Christmas Baby. March 2018

[MagicalCreatures]

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

[Athers666]

@MagicalCreatures Yeah, I've been so hungry! Although today not so much, randomly?! But yeah, I'm cringing right now thinking about how much I've been chomping through over the past week, yikes! I'm not a big eater normally...so maybe the hunger has been a symptom actually, despite me saying I haven't had any😁

[MagicalCreatures]

And Burping. Oh my god. It’s disgusting. I can’t stop burping!!!
I work sitting opposite my clients all day 😂

And my cousin was eating a sausage sandwich earlier. I nearly took his arm off!!!
Obviously didn’t coz that would be suspicious as I haven’t told anyone yet.
Though I told my mum today coz we’re really close and she was my rock during my miscarriage.
Have any of you told anyone?
I don’t think my DH wants anyone to know yet but I can’t keep it from my mum x

[PickettBowtruckles]

I’m getting more crampy today but trying not to worry!

@MagicalCreatures I have told my best friend as if anything did go wrong I know I’d need her support. My DH told his brother for the same reason but that’s all we intend to tell for a while.

[Stephisaur]

I told my friend who is also TTC (man do I feel bad - she’s been trying over a year and here’s me 2 months off the pill) but that’s it, and only because we’ve been talking about it for ages (I basically know her cycle at this point haha)

We’re not telling our mums until we’re ready for the world to know, as they’re both blabbermouths!

[Cakelaur]

@MagicalCreatures yup. I'm hungry and I go light headed if I don't eat which is TOTALLY the opposite to me normally. I quite often go all day without eating, so I'm having to remind myself to eat! Haha. And TIRED!! And crampy.. weird pulling in my uterus.

[Cakelaur]

We've told most people who knew first time round. Close friends, parents and work. Because our world shattered last time when it went wrong we needed everyone on board for support. Although everyone is on strict instructions to not get excited until our second scan at 8weeks. Need to get past the first one next Friday. The only one we haven't told this time is my OH's son. He's nearly 12. We told him at Xmas last time and he was really shocked and then got really excited and then was quite confused that we lost it. So we've decided to wait until the 12 week scan to tell him this time. Poor little guy. It's so hard to explain the ins and outs of it.

[MagicalCreatures]

Yeh I think once I’ve had a private scan at 8 weeks and there’s a heartbeat then I’ll start telling a few more people.
Cakelaur that must have been heartbreaking. They just don’t really understand it when they’re that young.

Stephisaur You can’t help but almost feel abit guilty when someone has been trying for longer then you can you? I think that’s only normal but you shouldn’t. You have every right to a healthy child as the next person.

PickettBowtruckles I have been having quite a few cramps too but I don’t think they are any different to last time. Sometimes they are quite sharp and almost sore and today my lower belly section completely hardened. Really weird. But I’m trying not to think about it too much.
It’s ridiculous and I know I can’t be like it but I seriously want to wrap myself up in cotton wool. I’m scared to walk to fast Incase something happens x

[Cakelaur]

Ok defo puppy anxiety!!! Tonights dream I woke up screaming and calling the police cos someone had asked to borrow my puppy and the kidnapped him and me and then found out I was pregnant and we're gonna ruin it all. They stole my keys, and took my car, my work van and my house!!! 😂🙈 for the record I managed to escape and then woke up!! Haha!! Talk about total loon!!! 😂🤣

[Cakelaur]

At @MagicalCreatures he's such a sweet kid as well and he really just didn't quite understand why! And when you don't have an answer for him cos you don't know yourself it's really tough. But he said to me the other day... we went and picked up our puppy.. and he said 'there's only one thing missing now, we've got the house finished, the new car, a nice holiday booked, our puppy... only one Thing left.... a baby' I wanted to scream "I've got one in me growing" but obviously didn't. He's so sweet. And he made a wish the other day into a stream with a penny that I could have a baby. Not that he could have a sibling. I just wanna squeeze him all the time!! 😍

[MagicalCreatures]

Cakelaur
