TTC and Christmas

[Coffee]

Anyone else feeling like you're on a countdown at the moment - one last cycle to get that BFP for Christmas?!
Why do i do this to myself? It's absolute madness! It was the same last Christmas - imagining how wonderful it would be to be able to tell family on christmas morning that i'm preggers. A whole year gone by of nothing and now i'm doing it again!
TTC has ruined christmas and i resent that!! I say BOOOOOOO to TTC! TTC is The Grinch!

I'm actually thinking of taking December off. Sure, I def want that BFP for Christmas, but I m/c anyways, so that would be horrible. I m/c last December, and it wasn't good at all. And, say I don't get teh BFP and m/c, then I am just going to be dissapointed that I didn't get a baby for Christmas. If I take the whole thing off...I have nothing to be dissapointed about. Sorry for sounding so glum. I probably shouldn't even post when I am so cranky.

Yup I know what you mean! I am really hoping this cycle will work and I can give my parents an extra special christmas present! I know its not going to happen but I can still dream!

 

[yaya]

I'm also thinking of taking the next cycle really easy - no charting/temping or anything. My test date would be 22 Dec and I really don't want to ruin Christmas this year with more disappointment - although I would love a Xmas BFP of course! Hope there are a truckload of Xmas BFP's from the LTTC girls this year! xxx

Well said babe, i feel the same

Yes - I know how you all feel too – we were hoping for a Xmas 07 and when we didn't get it we were like by Xma 08 we'll have a for sure. We have to go to my DH family party each year just before Xmas - last year 2 of his cousins had had babies and all the aunts keep asking us when we will have children - I hate it But we're going to still try hard this cycle as DH was away during ovulation last cycle. Good luck everyone

I'm quite lucky when it comes to christmas and family, me and my DH only see my mum, dad and brother and they all know what is going on with us. I very rarely see any of my other family and they all think I'm never going to have children through my own choice as I have always been career motivated, so I don't get any pressure of when are we going to hear the sound of tiny feet. Good luck for everyone over christmas, I shall be thinking of us all who only really want one thing for christmas and its not our two front teeth

*Sigh* the famous Xmas deadline. I've accepted it won't happen for this year but at the rate our medical interventions are going there is not a chance of actually holding a baby of ours for next Christmas and that gets me rather teary. Well at least I'll be pregnant by then. One way or another we'll be pregnant by next Xmas! - Or alternatively on very strong antidepressants-

 

[CurlySue]

My list has been as follows:

1. If I get pregnant this month that means I might have conceived on our Wedding Anniversary.

2. If I get pregnant this month that means I will have conceived on my birthday

3. If I get pregnant this month it means I will have conceived whilst on holiday, how lovely?

4. If I get pregnant this month then that means I will get pregnant on the anniversary of the first day OH and I met - it's meant to be.

And, so on.

Every month, i end up disappointed.

TTC is the grinch but i'm not giving her much help!!

I have asked DH to get a tree now - he said no! So i have bought baubles and everything and i'm waiting for 13th December when we can buy our great big real tree! lovely! I'm going to to do my crimbo shopping late night tomorrow, get them wrapped up and then i'm good to go! We even have advent calendars!

Christmas and weightloss doesn't tend to go hand in hand so i better step up the running tho!!

 

[readyforbaby]

I keep thinking about Christmas and wonderful ways to tell our parents but then don't want to get my hopes up as I too don't want to be let down and bummed at Christmas. in the meantime, I am trying to stay positive and just let myself dream it will happen.

I totally know how you feel........last xmas and the one before that and the one before that! The worst is my Gran who is totally aware of all my problems, but does so want her only grandaughter to have her own child before she goes (shes 83 and fit as a fiddle)! Every chrimbo its 'this year, i can feel it'. and every year its not! Maybe if she stopped saying it LOL! Bless her xx

I have even tried......if i dont step on all the pavement cracks i might be!!! Welcome to desperado world LOL!!

Bigs Hugs (((())))))

I am hoping and praying everyday I log on I will see a LTTC lady in the pregnancy annoucements section. My heart aches for everyone's stories It's just not fair.

Christmas is so tough. Personally I'm starting Clomid in 3 days and I'm going to take this month really easy. Then if it doesn't happen I'm going to convince myself it's because I was taking it easy.

HUGE amounts of for everyone! and that christmas dust fairy better be listening!

Oh coffee, i'm feelin ya there mate! We've been doing the 'this time next year', 'defo by next christmas' 'this is our year' stuff and now i am a LTTTC scrooge! lol! if anyone (family / friends) utters the words this christmas i dont think i could be held responsible for my actions lol!
I still get (after 3 years, confirmed annovulation and possible blocked tube for me, low spermies for DH, medical intervention, procedures and under a specialist....) 'hey, are you sure you're not trying too hard?' and ' have you tried to relax?'

I too can't wait to see a LTTTC in the announcements area, one of us surely must get something soon, law of averages and all that?!!!!!
