Who’s TTC a Christmas Baby. March 2018

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

Welcome everyone. This is lovely.
We’ve got some nice, positive people on this thread.
Considering the amount of MC and chemicals going around.
Sorry for all your losses Flowers

I think everyone agrees, once you’ve been through something like that or have been TTC for a long time, you don’t care when or how you get your baby, as long as you get it.
So anyway, we want to hear everything. Whether you want to post a squinty picture of a test or have a good whinge about the lack of early symptoms, were all hear for the same reason.

I’m babysitting my niece tonight who is sleeping in my bed, husband is on the sofa bed (poor thing, but he’s amazing) so looks like DTD is out for us tonight Grin
Still 2-4 days till ovulation though so I think I’ve still got time x

@Cakelaur I am 11dpo if I ovulated on day 14. Which is day 25 of 28 day cycle. So not long to go.

Cakelaur · 01/04/2018 08:05

@BLM18 omg!! How have you not tested? Are you waiting til you're late?

Nillynally · 01/04/2018 08:11

Morning! This is our first month TTC properly, my LMP was 17th March (my 30th!) meaning in due in the 22nd December! Didn’t intend a Christmas baby but it might fun! I know it’s way too early but I’ve had slight nausea all this week and cramps all day yesterday. Easter Grin

Mimilicious013 · 01/04/2018 08:11

@BLM18 , not long to go for you. plan on poas soon? glad

hummusscot · 01/04/2018 08:32

@Magical I'm on soy isoflavones

Totally agree with just wanting a healthy baby and not focusing on the date this time.

BLM18 · 01/04/2018 08:37

@Mimilicious013 @cakelaur I did test yesterday - 10dpo and bfn! I just couldn’t hold out

Cakelaur · 01/04/2018 09:38

@Mimilicious013 omg 2 Xmas babies!!! That would be amazing!!! What a great time in your house hold!! 😍
@BLM18 sorry about the bfn. Give it a couple of days and test again! (Obviously I would be pissing on 6 tests a day at this point!! 🤣😂🙈)

BLM18 · 01/04/2018 09:44

@cakelaur ha don’t encourage me!!!! Trying to resist testing again today. Have a drawer full of ic

Cakelaur · 01/04/2018 10:14

It had to be fmu... if you haven't been for a wee yet... a little IC won't hurt!! Haha!! Trying to live vicariously through you. I can't start testing until next week!! Haha

AliceScarlett · 01/04/2018 11:11

@cakelaur my chart is a state, barely managed to DTD much let alone temp this month.
Interestingly I had a 21 day progesterone test to check for ov so it will be interesting to get those results on Tuesday and see if they tie in with the second patch of ewcm.

BLM18 · 01/04/2018 11:20

@cakelaur tested again...bfn. 11dpo... wasn’t fmu but was 4 hr hold. Losing hope!

Cakelaur · 01/04/2018 12:04

@BLM18 don't give up hope yet. Not out until af shows. Could have ovulated a little later.

@AliceScarlett there are no temps on the chart. Not sure if it shared properly.

Mimilicious013 · 01/04/2018 12:27

oh my word @BLM18 and @cakelaur you two are poas addicts haha. you definitely must not stay together otherwise the bin will be full of hpt test. at least you are using ic, phew. BLM18 don't lose hope yet. another day or those tests can change fx.

Mimilicious013 · 01/04/2018 12:28

*day or two

AliceScarlett · 01/04/2018 14:03

Yeah I didn't temp this month. After 26 cycles I'm pretty lazy/despondent!

Cakelaur · 01/04/2018 22:05

Cd7 tomorrow. Defo Gonna have to resist the urge to not test!!! Crazy talk I know. But I'm so excited about this month. So many exciting things happening!!!

EmilyS92 · 02/04/2018 00:26

Wow! We sound the same!! This is our first month TTC and the wait for doing a test seems so long!! I’m six days away from my missed period, so don’t want to test too soon but I’ve been googling everything!! My nipples have been sore for 3 days and felt cramps around what would be implantion date.. but I think my head is running away with me! 🙈

winterwarmers · 02/04/2018 08:19

cd 14 got a flashing smiley on my ovulation test better start dtd as we have only managed it once this month 😂

Nillynally · 02/04/2018 08:34

@EmilyS92 me too! Googling all weird and wonderful early pregnancy signs. Husbands not playing the game at all, refuses to talk about it until there's a BFP Hmm

Owlpatrol · 02/04/2018 08:36

Hi ladies can I Join? I'm only cd6 but would love this month to be our month. Have been trying for 16 months now but I am staying positive again this month and have a dr booked so fx for all xx

Mimilicious013 · 02/04/2018 09:08

morning ladies
@AliceScarlett , I absolutely feel what you are going through. lt gets disheartening with each cycle. gl though
hie @owlpatrol, best of luck too and hope you get to go to the doctor with a bfp already.
@nillynally and @emily, enjoy your symptom spotting lol
@cakelaur are cd7 or 7dpo today hun? all the best peeing on either opks or hpts

AliceScarlett · 02/04/2018 09:15

Officially a week late today, couldn't be doing with testing. Feel like I'm pissing on a fiver!
Might Google what my due date would be if I did concieve this month.

Welcome Owl

Mimi how long have you been trying for?

I'm going to keep busy today and restest tomorrow with a frer.

MagicalCreatures · 02/04/2018 09:24
