Hi ladies, sorry to hear about the BFN's. For those of you moving onto the next cycle, it puts us into December due dates. Regardless if you celebrate Christmas or not, wondering what people's opinions are about having a baby due around the holidays. To me it's not a biggie as we would definitely separate it so that the baby would always feel special around the time, but curious if anyone is skipping this cycle because of this. I don't think that I have the luxury to skip regardless, but just curious what others are thinking or doing.

I asked this earlier too max bc based upon my cycles if this cycle fails it puts nexts due date to Dec 20. I ALWAYS go late by 4+ days... which is christmas. This makes me question If we should continue or take a break. So many negitives to me. 1- obviously having an Xmas birthday isn't fun for the child bc no friends would ever come to the birthday party due to holidays.
2--they would always be the youngest in class. Not sure if this is a huge negitive but I always loved being one of the oldest.
3--The actual birth for us here in Canada is tough in winter bc I have family coming from out of town to stay with my 3 little ones at home.

I dunno bit then I think of the positives...none of this would really matter if I had my healthy baby girl!
But... if I had a boy (although I'd love regardless) having a December baby plus a boy would feel like a double whamy of disappointment for me I think. We truly wanted a summer baby.. so that's alot of extra pressure.

Hope it's just too early fiveboys!!
Moma-will keep my fx for you!!
Sounds like some of us will be in the next 2WW together.
Maxim-I really wanted a November baby and wanted to avoid a December baby. However, will prob keep trying anyway. l'll have another scheduled c-section a week early, so I'd be looking at around Dec 8th, which I could handle. If it's a girl, I won't care about the month at all haha. The best gift ever!!!
Fx for those testing soon!!! More BFPs please!!!

Does anyone else ever notice that after a BFN, everyone else around you (friends, family, coworkers, acquaintences) seems to be pregnant??? I know I already have 2 beautiful boys, but didn't think it would be so hard ttc #3 sigh...

If I didn't conceive in February, we weren't going to skip months. An extra month on the diet would have just meant more cheating and a worse sway. Although, if we were going to skip a month it would have been April. An early January due date would have been a lot worse than an early December- my boys were born at 38 and 36 weeks, I doubt I'll ever go over much if at all.

I guess I had never really considered the fact of birthday would be so close to Christmas but I don't think I'd skip it seems kinda cool to have a Christmas baby! I'd either be HUGE or have nb. If I miss this month and get it next my date would be dec 30th but my others came at 38, 36, 35, and 37 weeks so I could get well have a Christmas baby! And a girl for Christmas would be the best gift ever.... really hoping I get a bfp this month because the girl diet is horrendous I'm so starving all the time!!

Ash, if you're starving all the time you could probably adjust your diet to feel better. It is annoying if you were a really blue pattern eater, though.

Robin, sorry I somehow overlooked your December post. Sorry if you guys already covered this. I had stayed off for a few days waiting for AF...

I agree with not skipping this month. It's already taking much longer than I ever thought to conceive #3. DD1&2 were first try, and this time around I'm getting a run for my money, so to speak. I did make an appointment with a new ob/gyn for Tuesday to get a second opinion. My last doctor didn't want to even hear anything from me until we had tried for a solid 6 months, which is just crazy to me. I'd like to just have labs done to make sure that everything looks normal. They can do that before 6 months of trying, right?

And I do agree that the LE diet sucks! I pretty much eat vegetarian and low calorie anyway, so that isn't huge for me, but not weight lifting like I normally do has messed with me.

Max did you have to try to sway pink for your first two?

A lady at work just told me she was pregnant five minutes before I read your post, lol. There's another one who is due a month before I would have been due with my loss. It sucks watching other people's pregnancies go by while you're trying. I haven't been TTC nearly as long as some, but I had an easy time conceiving my boys and carrying to term and I guess I assumed it would be easy for #3. :-/
