Trying for a 2016 baby

Chanti, I fell pregnant with Chloe in June 2007 as she was born 11 February 2008 and let me tell you, I suffered In the heat... I was nice and cosy during the cold months but Summer was a nightmare, I just slept with a pair of hot pants on and that was it...

AnzelMama, staying positive for your sake hun! And I hope your mom is right!! Holding thumbs!!!

Chanti, I wouldn't say im symptom spotting suppose im 'hearing' what my body is telling me, if that makes any sense... I DO NOT want to symptom spot!! That's the reason I aint a fan of taking temps in the morning, makes one more anxious!!

Ninies, goodluck with the big O and BD your heart out!!! Catch that eggie

Having hectic lower backache, very crampy feels like AF is on her way almost like a dull heavy ache in uterus.. Was starving, just finished lunch and now I feel like an absolute pig!! I think I ate to fast cos I was so hungry..

I must say if any of us get a BFP now, we will be huge in the hot summer months

Ninies - I definitely won't be out of the game completely. Just avoiding the days I think most likely to result in pg (iow Wed - Sat next week). But considering we've been bd'ing on the days I thought were important all these months and still have had no bfp I imght very well have the days wrong!
So ya, we'll see. I won't be aiming for it, but if it happens then it happens and I'll still be thrilled to be pg

I completely understand your reasoning I am also a November baby but i must say I loved being one of the youngest My whole life has been about being the youngest though so its not a major deal, I got married the youngest in my family, will be having kids the youngest, started working the youngest, bought a house the youngest. I thrive on it :0 I didn't enjoy getting my drivers licence last in matric though and always writing exams on my birthday. Ah the pros and cons of being a festive season baby!

I definitely think I will be taking 3 temps in the morning from now on and see how it holds up

Hallo ladies,

It has been quiet in here for two days now! I so look forward to reading the updates here, and when it is so quiet it makes the days longer

@Mrs Smith - My hubby and I planned our second child not to be born in winter months....guess what? we are still ttc that second child. I know we plan but in the end God decides. So maybe a good thing not to try as hard this cycle but to atleast stay in the game? I am a 22 December baby. I must say it never bothered me that I could not have a birthday party, and the fact that I got two gifts so close to one another and my brother and sister only got one made up for it....
I was also not kept back a year so that resulted in me only turning 18 after I matriculated. But on the positive side today everyone ages before me and I go last....If that is any concelation....

A January baby would be a very expensive one ALWAYS!!! Birthday party after Xmas, and back to school expenses....eish

@Anzelmama - your mom could well be right hey. Holding thumbs for you sweetie. I like that you call it carefully optimistic....

@MTC - yeah that would be awesome if your gynae visit could be your first preggies visit. Holding thumbs for you hun.

AFM - CD7 today. Gearing up for the Big O. Bought clearblue ovulation pack yesterday, but could not get the digital ones. So lets see. I will start testing on CD9 what do you think? Just scared I start too late and miss it all together?

@Liza - how is my cycle buddy doing today?

Sorry, I realise that sounds somewhat pessimistic, saying there's no way I'll get past 37 weeks etc, but I have a pregnancy history and that is unfortunately the reality of it. I'm happy to pm you (or anyone else) if you want to know more details as to why I won't go further than 37 weeks.
