December 2017 Babies

Hi Ladies,

I can't seem to find a board for December 2017 babies so I said I'd set one up

I hope there will be many Christmas miracles coming home with us this year. One last push for a 2017 baby.

Let me know how you're all getting on. I think this will be a very lucky month.

Em

Hello! I will join in for sure - if I am preggers this cycle - baby would be born late Nov/ early December :)

About 4DPO - no real symptoms though.

I am feeling hopeful though. The beginning of the TWW I am always hopeful.

it's our 7th cycle TTC - I think if we still aren't pregnant by 1 year - I may look into IUI. Just thoughts. I hope to get pregnant the natural way though.

fingers crossed

Hey... I'm hoping for a December 2017 baby too... Would be great cos DH's birthday is on 27 December... This is my 6th cycle and I'm 6 dpo today, no symptoms except diarrhea this morning but I hardly think that that is related to anything. Haha...

I ovulated on 4 March (CD14), btw... I just can't wait for 10 dpo to come so that I can POAS... Baby dust to everyone!

Hey Ladies

So so glad to have people to wait this out with

Amarah, So love having you around . You're going to get this naturally. I just know it! How was this cycle for you, on your page it says NTNP, was that my version of NTNP (which is actually very much TTC) or a normal persons version? How are you feeling today? 5dpo today, not too much left to go. I am praying you get your 2017 baby!

Shaash85 YAY so glad to have you on board. Awh that would be such an amazing birthday for your DH and such a special Christmas for you all. you should be 7dpo today now, how are you feeling? Well.. on my first pregnancy diarrhea was one of my first symptoms so sounds good so far Keep me posted.

AFM I'm a good bit behind you ladies as I'm only on CD4 BUT hopefully it'll fly by. I'm still trying to decide if it'll use OPKs and temp this cycle. I'm wanting to take it easy and leave things be more fun and natural. It's been a loooong road for DH and I and I'm trying to take some pressure off. We are on our first proper cycle since the Ectopic so I'm praying for a miracle BFP this month. AMarah already knows this but we have IVF plans for June/July if nothing happens in the meantime BUT I really really want to have a miracle before then. I am hopeful about this month. I really am. SO glad to have you ladies to wait it out wish.

Hope there'll be so many on here.

Em x

Hello ladies!

I usually don't post too often on here but I do try to follow as the months go by. I have been rooting from afar for all of us!

This is my.... 9th month ttc. Kinda hard to believe that it's been this long. We've been actively trying hard these past couple of months so maybe it's been like 7 months of actively trying? I don't really know... It's been a rough year....
Never been pregnant so I'm really trying to be hopeful and optimistic that there isn't something keeping us back. We really want to speak to a doctor once the year hits. Really hoping that something will happen so we never have to make that appointment. I know that IVF really isn't an option for us. So I guess it's either natural or it's just me and hubby... This has really been an emotional time for me always thinking about the "what ifs" every time af arrives. I'm just trying to be as optimistic as possible.

I'm trying really hard this cycle to kind of RELAX the best way possible. I'm really trying to kind of sit back and just try and keep my mind off the whole thing. I think it's starting to really take a toll on my emotional well-being. I hate stressing so much about it.

Anyways, I really do hope the best for all of us! I really hope this last month of the year is the one for all of us.

Shaash85 Hi :) We are very close in our cycles. My guess is I O'd on march 5 but I wasn't using my opk this month. It would be such a lovely gift to give your hubby on his birthday :) Have you been feeling any symptoms ? Keep us posted!

Emily- I am NTNP - kinda....more like your version...lol of course I am still TTC but I didn't temp, didn't use OPK, didnt schedule in sex, and trying to tell myself I am not going to test early...I can feel the urge to test though...I doubt I will be able to hold off from POAS. It's like I am truly a POAS addict. I felt more relaxed this cycle and I didn't tell the hubby anything about my cycle and I think it put least pressure on him as well. We did BD a lot this cycle...almost daily - if not every other day during what my app says is my fertile window. I am very hopeful! I'd say try a month without OPK and temping! it's more relaxing for sure.

Back again after what looks like my second chemical/early loss in a row. March is likely my last try before hubs and I move, so if this isn’t it for me I’m taking a break from actively trying until summer.

Getting hormones checked on monday, ultrasound wednesday, hoping for some answers.

This month I’m adding nettle leaf and raspberry leaf tea, and putting vitex back on the menu. I finally invested in CB Advanced OPKs this time around so hopefully this works?

Amarah so good to see you back again! This is cycle 7 for me also, let’s hope it’s a lucky one for us both! You’ll know before me, though, since I just got to visit.

Shaash85 getting closer to test time, any symptoms?

ELGtrying thank you for starting this thread! Here’s hoping we both get back to CountdownMyPregnancy again soon. I’m CD 1 so I’m behind these ladies too.

FeliChica92 TTC is a numbers game: no need to worry at our age until you hit one year TTC. I know stressing about it is the biggest no-no but the HARDEST thing not to do! I gave myself high blood pressure back in December, if you can believe it. I’ve been trying yoga/meditation, but I might delve into acupuncture this cycle. Are you doing anything different this month?

and to all of us trying for our christmas miracles

This is CD9 for me today. It was a very weird AF this last time. Lasted about 8 days instead of 5. Almost spotting like for 2 days with crazy extreme lower back pain I had never felt before. I couldn't even sleep that first night and then full on extreme af. Very weird. I don't think it was a CP but I'm not 100% to be honest. I took an hpt on 9dpo and on 13 dpi. Both bfn. Not quiet sure what all of that was I just hope it doesn't happen like that again.

-brownsugar93- I'm so sorry about the last few months. I can't imagine how that feels. I hope you get some answers on Monday to make sure that doesn't happen again. I'm really trying to stay positive. I know that plenty of healthy couples go months before they finally get that bfp and I keep telling myself that we are just one of those couples. I guess my biggest downfall is that supposedly the more cycles that go by your chances of finally conceiving go up. So every month that goes by with absolutely nothing to show for just adds to my anxiety that there is something that needs attention.
When my cycle started I was debating whether I wanted to temp. I feel like if I want to relax and calm down the correct thing would be not temping. I feel like every morning i see the thermometer it's just another reminder and then the obsessing starts all over. But at the same time I don't want to waste a cycle of bbt data. Any suggestions?
This month I think I'll just use opks around my fertile time, preseed, and "maybe" bbt. Still taking the prenatal. I was taking ovaboost from fertilaid last couple cycles but I think I'll pass this month. Maybe I need to reset my body. I know it's possible to be messing yourself up with too many supplements when you don't really need it.

Just trying to relax and keep my mind occupied with other things. Meditation sounds like a great idea. I'll have to get into that.

to all us ladies!!!

Hello ladies,

I'm really glad to find a board for Dec 17 - this is my first ever post!!

On CD 12 and using CB OPK this month. Reading high this morning. Fingers crossed for a BFP for everyone this month. The TWW is always such a rollercoaster.

Fingers crossed

Hello everyone =] ,

I am fairly new to this website but I'm loving it so far.

I think I ovulated on the 3rd of March so I'm currently 9 DPO. It's so difficult for me because my fiance has made me promise that I won't test until 2 weeks AFTER my missed period. His reasoning is that I got so upset when I tested early (July and August last year) and then had two early miscarriages but I get upset when my period comes too, lol.

Anyway, I haven't had a huge amount of symptoms. My breasts aren't sore this month yet. I've just got CM and some cramping to go off of so far.

I have ordered a Basal Body Thermometer and some Vitex for the next month if this month isn't the one. I'm pretty excited about getting those. Also I've been taking Folic Acid every month.

I really really hope that this is the month for all of us! Fingers crossed and baby dust to all!

brown sugar- glad to see you back my friend! I am so very sorry about the chemicals... they are unspeakably hard. :( I really pray that we both have a lucky cycle 7 :)

Felichica- I know it's hard to relax and just let it happen...I am trying to do the same. Some days are better than others that's for sure. This cycle I didn't temp, take OPK or schedule in BD like I have every other month. It was hard but it was also very freeing. I have a fairly good idea when I O now just based on past data - so it's not like I am totally unaware of things. So I guess I'm not totally relaxed about it lol

Welcome for1118 and Goth!

goth - my hubby wants me to wait to test for hcg until 1 week after my missed period - so we are in a similar boat. I simply cannot wait that long....I get his point (he thinks it will make me less sad/anxious about early testing) but I don't think he really gets it...perhaps I just don't have the discipline lol I am however keeping my 1 FReR test for a couple days after my missed period. I bought some new Internet cheapies for early testing.... probably going to try a test on 10 DPO (despite telling myself I was going to wait for a missed period ....sigh)

I am about 7dpo - honestly zero symptoms, not feeling like it's my month ....we will see.
