Anyone had a little bout of sadness yesterday/today?

[ChristmasPuddddddddding]

Currently in the midst of TTC for DC 1, on cycle 3 and it’s my few fertile days so we really are in the middle of cycle 3

We did hope when we started trying we could be pregnant by Christmas! But looking back, we’ve seriously miscalculated dates and looks like we missed our fertile weeks. Now I’m doing ovulation tests and we said we’d DTD every other day regardless so hopefully we have a bit more of a chance this month!

I mean obviously cycle 3 isn’t long and this could be our time! But for some reason I really dreamed of being pregnant by Christmas and I keep seeing people announce pregnancies or post about Christmas Eve/day with their kids

I see their kids all in matching pyjamas, the mince pie and carrot left out and my heart aches a little bit!

I’m remaining positive though and reassuring myself that it could be me and DP next year. We’re young and healthy with no conditions and it could happen any month now!

I did feel bad for the pangs of sadness I guess it’s just part of the Christmas pressure I put on myself and for some reason I put some pressure to be pregnant by Christmas so was quite disappointed last month

Anyone else feel a little like this? For anyone TTC, really hope it’s our time soon! Sending baby dust

But a side note, hope everyone did manage to have a lovely Christmas!

I feel exactly the same. Lying in bed just now upstairs hiding from DP tears in my eyes and my heart just aches 🙁

Yes I know what you mean! We have been ttc our first for six months, I'm currently 9dpo so a few more days of overthinking until AF will probably arrive. I was thinking all day yesterday, this will be our last Xmas just us two... And we will have a baby next Christmas... I just hope so much that happens! I wasn't too sad, more hopeful, but definitely depends where you are in your cycle as before I ovulate I am so emotional! Lol

Sending you both so much love. It’s hard isn’t it? My boyfriend is adamant this is our last Christmas as us two and kept reminding me to enjoy the last chilled Christmas without kids!

It’s a good mindset to have I need to get into it as it could happen any day now , for us all. Really hoping it does and sending you lots of baby dust!

Let’s try and be positive (which is so difficult I completely get) and repeat that this is our last Christmas as a couple and next Christmas we’ll have a wonderful little baby with us! Or be pregnant at the very least. Fingers crossed

I've sat many a Christmas crying my eyes out at the Christmas episode of the Royle family where Denise goes into labour! I'm sure you'll be holding a baby or a bump this time next year

Definitely did get sad. Been TTC dc1 for 6 months now and I really did think I'd be sitting at Christmas telling my parents I was pregnant! Instead we didn't even have christmas together and I wasn't pregnant! Fingers crossed for a better year next year. Each month I learn new things about my body and my cycle so that definitely helps x

@rose2108, I'm in exactly the same boat as you, 10 dpo today though 😂

Yes!
We are TTC for our first child and everyone we know has either just had a baby or due next year!
3 close friends have announced this week that they are expecting next year.
I feel a little sad and like it's happening for everyone except us but I'm sure out time will come soon.
Best of luck!

Yes we should've had an 8 month old this Christmas. We've tried as much as we can with Covid and lockdowns for another Baby and we hoped I'd be Pregnant by Christmas. Had a positive pregnancy test which turned out to be a false positive shit dot com
