Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[3boys]

3boys, do you want me to add you to the 1st post? If so, please let me know your due date.

If that is ok then yes please I'm due on the 29th December. I don't want to intrude on your thread though! Except for the first cycle after my miscarriage where I was posting I had a little break from TTC on gender dreaming. My approach to swaying this time was to try and completely forget that I was TTC at all lol. Xx

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes .

How is everyone today?

I was shopping yesterday and found a beautiful white blanket with flowers on it and got it as a birthday gift for myself secretly hoping one day I will be able to use it for my daughter.

It's crazy how I see a little girl in my arms whenever I think of this little bean but somehow it just doesn't come to my mind it could be a boy. That's how it was with my son. From the day I found out I am pregnant a started thinking of boy names and buying boy stuff and when I got asked at the gender scan if I would like to find out I said I already know . Hope this is a good sign.

Happy birthday for yesterday Pumpkin. Sorry I am a bit late, I didn't realise xx

I'm glad that you feel in your heart that this little bundle is you DD. lets hope that your intuition is right and that cute little blanket will be wrapped around your baby girl in 8 months time . What week were you planing on a gender scan?

3boys, I have added your due date to the first post. And you are not intruding at all, everyone who wants to join is welcome: it doesn't matter what your approach to TTC was, our aim is all the same.

Pumpkin, the blanket sounds lovely. Let's see a pic. Hopefully your intuition will be right again.

GeCon it's nothing special but I somehow really like it:

How are you feeling hon? Do you have an appointment for your first scan yet?

It's beautiful, Pumpkin. A bit like the sleepsuits in my avatar.

I am fine, thank you. I haven't made an appointment yet, the plan is to ring the doctor tomorrow.

That´s exactly what i thought xD.

When are you planning to go? I bet they will tell you to come within the next couple days, that´s how it´s always been with me but this time I insisted in having the scan later.

I have no idea how it works here. I will see what they say to me on the phone tomorrow and keep you all posted.

With my 1st pregnancy (in the UK), I did not get to see the midwife for my booking-in appointment until 8 weeks.

Ladies who do/did not have 28 day cycles: Did your doctors take any notice of your actual ovulation date if you knew it or did they always go with your LMP?

The reason I am asking is that with my last pregnancy the midwife only went with my LMP although I told her that I had very long cycles and I knew I only ovulated on CD46. That then meant the due date was incorrectly dated until the 1st scan (which I had 4 weeks too early due to the dating).

So I am wondering if since I know my ovulation date I should adjust my LMP to reflect my ovulation based due date or if I should tell them my real LMP and ovulation date, but risk that it gets incorrectly dated again.

The only person who ever listened to me was my independent midwife 2nd time around - and we had a expected timeframe (spanning 3 calculated dates).
All hospital MW and Drs used the wheel. I adjusted period date (or said I wasn't sure) to buy extra time - otherwise such pressure at the pointy end of pregnancy. And we had issues when DS1 wasn't the "expected" size at individual scans.
i say if you know when you ovulated say that is the date. And if they don't believe you, then change the date of LMP.

This happened with DS1 and no one would listen to me so from then on I always adjusted the supposed LMP date without them knowing. I think when you know exactly when you ovulated it is much more accurate than an LMP date... They just don't trust us to know (don't they realise TTC is a military operation for us girls) lol.
