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

DH and I have just booked to go to Disneyland Paris, so currently taking bets on the likelihood of me being pregnant when we go in July 😂 would be typical as I love rollercoasters 🙄

13dpo day 27 back ache period type pains, boobs sore. negative test. So think af must be on her way!

[MrsY87]

Can I join? Ttc#3 DD is 3.5 and DS is 7m. We've not used any contraception since DS was born but now on CD19 after my 1st AF so calling this cycle 1.

Got a static smiley on my CB yesterday am and today have had a lot of ewcm today plus some pains so assuming today is ov day!

DD was conceived 1st month, DS took 10 cycles with 2 early mcs so no idea how long it will take this time! Fx we all get our Xmas babies

Please can I join? I am on CD 17 and think I OV yesterday/today. If I get a BFP the baby would be due on 23 December but I'm almost 40 and don't want to miss a month, I'd feel super lucky and over the moon any time. This is TTC cycle #4

[Cakelaur]

Welcome newbies!!! Who's testing soon? I'm going to test tomorrow, 9dpo... temps are on the rise nicely, boobs are hurting, headache today and a bit of pink cm yesterday. All things I had last time I got bfp.

[EmaLu]

Good luck ladies 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[Nillynally]

@Cakelaur amazon primed some tests for tomorrow, too early but no harm. Headache, cramps, nausea.. we will see! Good luck! X x x

[Cakelaur]

Yes @Nillynally!!! Keep us posted!! My boobs are SOOO sore!!! And I have round ligament pain. But I do get this a lot since mc. So I have no idea!!

[Nillynally]

@Cakelaur no sore boobs but I never get sore boobs throughout the month! Don't don't if it makes difference having biguns!

[MagicalCreatures]

Hi everyone.
Thanks for joining us
Cakelaur it all sounds very positive to me. I will be keeping my 🤞 for you til the morning. Let us know ASAP.

Also, I had a temp rise this morning from 36.11 to 36.61.
Could that be that I ovulated yesterday. I’ve been having pains all day today like my usual ov pains but slightly worse.
I’ve been taking the tests around an hour time frame though. Does that have a bad impact. For example -

30th - 36.30 degrees at 7.52am
31st - 36.27 degrees at 7.15am
1st - 36.11 degrees at 7.55am
2nd - 36.11 degrees at 8.42am
3rd - 36.61 degrees at 8.34am

Can anyone help with this x

[Cakelaur]

@MagicalCreatures I'd say you've O'd. Do opks match up?

[Cakelaur]

@MagicalCreatures you need to have three temps that are higher though to confirm, so keep DTD just to be sure. Also if you can attach your chart it's easier to read:

[MagicalCreatures]

@Cakelaur
The OPK’s havent really become positive. Though they did get darker and when I next tested again it had gone back down. Unless I missed the surge.
I will keep doing the temping and see if the temp stays high. Thankyou 😃

[Cakelaur]

Quite often I find a surge can happen late at night. So you may have missed it!! Eek hopefully you're in the TWW!!

[MagicalCreatures]

Ooooh I really hope so 🤞

[MagicalCreatures]

@Cakelaur
Did you test this morning. Any luck?

[Cakelaur]

Bfn for me. But only 9dpo, hoping for better luck tomorrow.

[ClumsyFool]

Currently 5dpo and on a random night shift tonight, it’s a one off and will be back to days after so I’m just wondering about temping? I took it as normal this morning, but tomorrow do I take it when I’ve got home and had a few hours sleep or will the difference in time from when I would usually take make the reading useless?

[BLM18]

Day 28 14dpo. Normally 27/28 day cycle. Period type cramps since yesterday. Even had to take ibuprofen at 4am was sure would wake up with af but nothing all day. I normally get pain and af starts right away. Last tested last night bfn.

[Nillynally]

BFN for me this morning, not going to try again until Sunday. The wait is such a bore!

[Lavendersblue42]

Can I join? Think I ovd today (not using opks or anything though) DC1 would be due betwixtmas if its a sticky bean

Fx for everyone x

[CatRen27]

Hi, can I join? If we conceived my due date would be christmas day. We've been ttc for #2 for two years now, so not full of hope but there's always a chance!

MagicalCreatures I saw your post about your temps. Are you using fertility friend or an app to help with the analysis? FF identifies ovulation when you have three consecutive days of high temps so it could be that the temp rise is your 1DPO and you'll just need to wait a couple of days to see if it stays high. Looks promising!

[Knittinggurl]

Can any seasoned tempers help with BBT advice? I use Clearblue OPKs and got my peak at teatime on CD 15. I thought I was OV on CD 16 or more likely CD 17. Now it's CD 19 and my BBT is still as low as before - does that mean I'm not OV this month but just had the LH surge and no egg? This is only my second month temping but last month my temp went up immediately so I'm feeling a bit disheartened

[Cakelaur]

@Nillynally how you doing today? Bfn for me sadly.
@Knittinggurl trust your bbt (as long as your take it same time every day) you can get an LH surge and not produce an egg. Keep testing opks because you're likely to get a second surge.

10dpo... bfn here, not likely to change but my temps are sky high (more likely due to the progesterone cream rather than pregnancy)

[Nillynally]

@Cakelaur caved and did another one this morning! BFN but it's still way early! I'm not going to get my hopes up as it's our first proper trying month. What about you?
