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

@Mimilicious013 haha. 7dpo not cd7! See the crazy is taking over!!! So so excited about this month!!
@AliceScarlett sorry AF hasn't showed and you haven't got a bfp. That's the worst kind of limbo. Hopefully one or other shows up soon.

@MagicalCreatures I'm dpo7. What test is the best for early detection?

The frer’s are the best. Or any pink dye test really. Just don’t get the blue dye tests. They really are rubbish.

7dpo... Don't do it! You're throwing away money :( get some internet cheapies instead and save FRER until the day your period is due.

Hi can I join you? Fx everyone who is testing! I stupidly tested at 9,10,11 dpo so now only have one frer left gah! We're not ttc as such and DH swears the tests are negative, but I don't know! Af is late unless I oved late, which I often do. I'd love a sibling for DS. Suppose I just have to wait!

I won't test until the weekend, I'm far too tight!

@magicalcreatures I wish I could help. I have been temping a couple of months and no idea!

However my cycles are generally on the longer side 32-35 days. Here are my temp charts if that means anything to you!

Morning ladies :)

Still another 10 days until AF is due to rear her ugly head for me 🙄

Ate far too much chocolate yesterday and had a few cheeky G&Ts over the weekend. Hope all is well with you!

I need your willpower @nillynally! Boo for af @alice but at least you can crack on with the next cycle (I know, rubbish!)
@stephisaur glad you had a good easter!

Alice so sorry ☹️
Are you having or have you seen anyone about fertility treatment if it’s been 27 cycles.

Irwe
Thankyou for the comparison. I feel like your chart this month looks quite similar to mine but I just haven’t had that peak of ovulation yet. Am I right in thinking it looks like you ovulated today or yesterday according to yours.

Welcome 😃 are you saying your not sure if the tests are negative? Fx for you if AF hasn’t shown yet you’re still in with a chance x

Any first timers really nervous? I don't know how to feel, I know what I want but I'm also really nervous that I am...

Well I took another one this morning (I know I know, no willpower!) and interested to see what you all think if that's OK. I can see a line, DH not convinced!

@MagicalCreatures your chart looks text book so far. See if you can get a couple more BD in. You're prob due to ovulate any day soon. Are you measuring cm or opks?

@Nillynally what everyone else said. It's physically impossible to get a positive at 7dpo. Wait two more days if you can. And I'd grab a bunch of internet cheapies from amazon cos then you're not pissing on a fiver each time. And then once you think you see a line use an frer.

@AliceScarlett sorry the witch came babe. Have a nice glass of wine and a bubble bath.

@lrwe I'd say you haven't ovulated yet but possibly within the next week judging by your last chart.

@BLM18 there's still time if AF hasn't turned up! Fingers crossed for you!

I'm still waiting for static smiley face to show up-I'm hopeful it'll be in the next couple of days.

How is everyone?

@magicalcreatures nope not ovulated yet - but I think I’m gearing up to it!

@cakelaur I’m hoping it’s a little earlier this month, definitely gearing up that way so fingers crossed!

All the waiting!!

Thanks for having a look at my bbt chart. I don’t check cm but I use opk’s and they were getting darker over 3 days and then yesterday it faded to barely anything and then today slightly darker again.
And I don’t want to get your hopes up but you don’t think that could be implantation bleed do you.
I had exactly the same 8dpo and I tested the next day and got a very faint positive x

Hi, I’m just into my 2ww, haven’t had a regular cycle since my chemical in Jan, up to then had been 26/27 days but since then I’ve had one that was 30 and one that was 24 so I have no idea when af is actually due but I’m thinking 11th April going on my cycles from before.
We used preseed for the first time this month and I’m desperately going to try not to POAS til at least the 10th which will be 11DPO but I don’t trust myself. I don’t have anymore tests in the house so as long as I don’t buy them I can’t test, I need to stay away from amazon basically!! Fingers crossed for everyone.

@MagicalCreatures it could be IB. I did have it with my last bfp. Head ache and slightly light headedness today and a bit of a cold for the last couple days. All things I had with last bfp. But I have NO idea if it's all just coincidence. I'll test tomorrow
