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

Still no AF for me. A day late now. But possibly due to the progesterone cream. I'll test again tomorrow if no AF. Temp drop today so more than likely I've just lengthened my LP and af will show up soon.

The 2WW really is the longest 2 weeks ever isn’t it?
My FF app is telling me it thinks I OV cd17 (which would be normal for me) even though I had a peak 3 days before that (cd14) I’ve had 2 peaks in my temp. Is that normal?
And today I wiped (sorry tmi) and there was a tiny bit of darker then usual discharge (very light hint of brown) which I’ve never had before.
But am I right in thinking that some people have mentioned getting that after OV?

I’m 9dpo and CD24, pretty sure af is on the way as today I feel exhausted and irritable, I’ve had to bite my tongue all day and just be quiet as I could have a row in an empty room. Even had an afternoon nap. My back is also hurting and I’ve had mild pelvic pains on and off all day. Looks like this isn’t going to be my cycle, how’s everyone else doing?

I'm currently DPO3 according to fertility friend and bbt, not using ovulation sticks at the moment as I'm on the control arm of the Clearblu study. Too early for symptoms I think!! I have to POAS on 17/4 for the study which will be DPO12...going to be such a looooong wait until then!

Mimilicious013 · 09/04/2018 05:45

11 dpo here. it's getting exciting! !!
fx for a bfp today @cakelaur. hope af did not sneak up on you last night hun.

Mimilicious013 · 09/04/2018 06:01

how many dpo are you @magicalcreatures, could it be ib? fxfx
@strawberrye , good luck on your looooooong tww

Mimilicious013 · 09/04/2018 06:04

@clumsyfool, you summed up everything l was feeling yesterday. I didn't like the backache but I enjoyed the afternoon nap.fx we have good news at the end of the week.

Mimi
I don’t think it’s IB
Going by FF saying I OV on cd17 then I’m 4po.
From the change in temp that I had on cd14 then I’m 7dpo

When I got my BFP last time I noticed IB on cd7/8
I’ve had sensitive nipples the last couple of days but I’m guessing that’s the progesterone, even though I’ve not noticed it before TTC.
But our minds like to play tricks on us don’t they.

Cakelaur any luck yet?

How are you feeling?

Cakelaur · 10/04/2018 14:31

@Mimilicious013 it won't let me add any more photos from today! Haha I'll add tomorrow.

@Knittinggurl in term of symptoms I feel great. The odd boob twinge it uterus stretch but mainly I'm just terrified!!

Knittinggurl · 10/04/2018 14:31

@Cakelaur did you have any symptoms?

Knittinggurl · 10/04/2018 14:32

Sorry cross-post @Cakelaur !

Cakelaur · 10/04/2018 14:32

I've had a bit of heartburn and on Saturday I had some dizziness whenever I stood up from gardening. But no major symptoms.

winterwarmers · 10/04/2018 14:45

@Cakelaur congratulations :)

ClumsyFool · 10/04/2018 15:31

@mimilicious013 thanks and sorry to hear you’re in the same boat Flowers have gone from spotting to normal af now, not heavy thankfully but emotionally this one is a bitch! Keep crying over absolutely nothing and feel exhausted. Had to go hide in the toilets at work for a cry earlier, tomorrow is a new day and will hopefully feel more like myself.
So glad we’ve had some good news on the thread though it’s lovely to read.

Congratulations!!!!!

And ClumsyFool just want to send you a hug and some flowers 💐

Congrats cakelaur

I am now the mum of a 4-year-old Shock I don't feel old enough! Had a lovely day out for DD's birthday today. Going to test a week today I think.
