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

@Nillynally 😂🤣😂🤣 dedication right there!! Can't wait to see the result!!

Sorry @Cakelaur I shall not be joining you on the good ship pregnancy! Had an unwelcome visitor this afternoon! On the next month. Good luck with yours x x x

Sorry to hear that Nillynally

Hello ladies, just found this thread hope you don’t mind me jumping in !

Had an early miscarriage at 6 weeks 3 days on the 14th feb, currently on cd23 of this cycle and worked out if I get a BFP this month my due date is my birthday ! Now that would be an amazing birthday present, currently backwards and forewords to gp appointments as been TTC for the last 3 years 😔

But fingers crossed and babydust to all 💖

Sorry @Nillynally here's hoping for a New Years baby for you
Welcome @Foamybanana93! Sorry to hear about your loss

Hi Foamybanana93
So have you OV yet?

@Nillynally oh babe I'm so sorry. I'm totally gutted for you!! 🤞🏻next month is the one!!!

@Foamybanana93 sorry for you loss babe. I had an mmc in jan and just got my bfp a few days ago. So hopefully you get yours!!!

@MagicalCreatures how are you getting along?

Anyone testing soon?

tested last night at 9dpo with fairly dilute wee and got a bfn...not sure what else I was expecting really, I just can't help testing when there are tests in the house! I think my AF is probably due tomorrow or Sunday so if it hasn't shown up by Monday I'll test again then!

BFN for me this morning. Think I'm probably out for this month. With DD I had IB at 9DPO and my BFP at 10 DPO. No IB or anything much going on down there this month!

Testing has been delayed until Sunday (cue strop from me even though it’s my own bloody reasoning)

It’s gone from a quiet day in to seeing half the family, and I have no poker face whatsoever so it’s best if I don’t know!

DH also keeps pointing out that I’ve been later than this before, and I have to kindly remind him that they were my pill periods and thus don’t count!

@magicalcreatures, i think so, had bloods done tuesday on cd21 and my app gives me the most fertile days, used opks so fingers crossed its worked this month, im now in the 2ww so fingers crossed !

Yeh I’m the same as Knittinggurl
Its not looking very promising this month. I had IB at 8do and BFP at 9dpo with my last pregnancy and tons of symptoms.
Think I’m 8dpo this time and barely any symptoms at all. Boobs aren’t sore etc.
I’ve had constant cramps since OV and really vivid dreams the last 2 nights (one about going into labour and the other actually having a baby boy in my arms) but nothing else.
I’m not completely giving up yet but I’m not getting my hopes up x

been lurking a bit this month currently either 4/5 dpo and i am not symptom spotting this month

no Christmas baby for me, sadly af got me.
rooting for more bfps all round and fx to all testing soon.
hugs @nillynally .
how's it going @cakelaur

Hello ladies,
@cakelaur congratulations. How many days before Clearblue advanced fertility monitor detected your pregnancy. I have one, I normally have a 28 day cycle, got a peak on 3 &4 April. So should be due on Monday but it’s not offered me to do a pregnancy test yet? Any advice would be great, I completed a 10day dtd marathon this month on all high days so think my hopes are to high :(

I'm the same @MagicalCreatures & @Knittinggurl both DD & DS I had IB & with DS I had a bfp at 10 dpo so not getting my hopes up either. On the plus side I've been feeling like AF is due to arrive any minute for the past few days and she hasn't so glad to have got to 10 dpo as I was worried my LP has got shorter as when I conceived DS it was only 10/11 days at most...trying to see the positives of this cycle even if I don't get my BFP!

This morning my DD told me I have 2 babies in my tummy...Maybe she knows something I don't, or I'm just fat! 😂

@Help201602 last time I had bfp it picked it up on 11dpo, this time round I kept testing negative until 15dpo. So obviously late implantation.

@Mimilicious013 it's going ok. Had blood tests all come back good. So I'm a little more relaxed. Picked up our puppy today so now I'm trying to focus on him and forget about the baby until the 6 week scan!

Hi, any advice please.

BFN this morning so feeling rather negative.

I was rubbish at testing on opks this month so not sure if or when I ovulated. Temp shifted cd 17-19 and has been high ever since which is why I tested this morning. I also did opks From cd 19 (as I usually have very long cycles) and they were all negative for a week before giving up again.

I have very sore boobs and have had usual af symptoms all week.

Anyone have any ideas? Can you get af if you didn't ovulate?

Thanks guys

Sorry to hear that Mimi

Welcome to the 2ww then Foamy

MrsY87 Thats really funny. A psychic told me and and my auntie on separate occasions that there was going to be another set of fraternal twins (1 boy and 1 girl) born Into the family within the next 18 months. That was 3 months ago. Fraternal twins run in my family so I’m looking forward to eventually one day finding out if she was right. Whether it’s me or not.

Monopo1y Welcome to the group. I would say that if your temps are staying high then yes you’ve ovulated and surely you would get AF.
How many days past the temp shift are you that you had cd17-19

Thank you :) that was between 15-18 days ago! So that makes me think I'm unlikely to have ovulated (despite having high temps ever since) then as I only got a bfn this morning and surely that should of have shown up on a pregnancy test by now?

I continued to do ovulation test daily from cd 19 though and didn't have even a faint line!

@Monopo1y if you wanna post your chart I can take a look.

Thank you that's very kind but it says I can't post pictures as a new user.

Taking another look at it, the only other possibility could be cd 26. That would make me 9dpo. My temp never dropped as low as the earlier temp shifts but that would explain the lack of af.

I might add that day 26 I did an opk and it was negative though so I really don't know!

Well @Monopo1y I was getting negatives until 15dpo, when I finally got my bfp!!! So don't lose faith!! I had really low temps (around 36.55) where normally im around 36.8 when pregnant. And at 12dpo and 13dpo I had a dip above coverline but down to like 36.35. So weird charts can bring bfps!!

Morning everyone

So, last night my boobs started to hurt abit. So this morning, like usual I checked my bbt. I had another little temp drop. Then I read Cakelaurs post about how her bbt was all over the place and she was pregnant.
So even though I wasn’t very hopeful I decided to do a test.
I used one of my heap one steps from the internet which are very good and within 30 seconds the slightest shadow appeared.
So I cracked open a FRER and this showed up. X
