Picking your due date month?

Re: Picking your due date month?

    I wanted to be due November 2009. I had sex almost everyday until I confirmed O and didn't get pregnant. Life can not be planned, you can hope but not plan. GL

    I did and I have all sorts of issues and thought I would have trouble.  I suggest Fertility Awareness Method (a great book is Taking Charge of Your Fertility or ttoyf.com).  I practiced the cahrting for several months as a method of birth control before actually trying to concieve. You learn so much about YOUR body and cycle and I found out that I actually have a short cycle and that I ovulate earlier the the "norm".  The month that we were ready to actually start trying I knew exactly when to " do the deed"  The is a good 3 day window that every woman has to be able to conceive that month and a 25% chance of actually getting pregnant each month.  The percentage grows drastically if you know your body well enough.  I highly recommend charting and the FAM method to know your body and to have the highest chances of conceiving in a timely manner.

    I figured out that if I got pregnant when I was fertile at the end of March/beginning of April, that I would have the baby in December and my DH who is a teacher would be off with me for 2 weeks.  And to my surprise, it worked!  I am due December 22nd!

    My MIL did...all three kids were born 4 years apart within 1 month of each other. She wanted all spring babies and didn't want to get diff seasons of maternity clothes... 4 years apart so they wouldn't have more than one child in college at a time.  It works for some people!

    Yes! I couldn't have my baby any earlier than June 4th due to maternity benefits at my job. So the earliest we could try was the end of Sept and that just happened to be our 1yr wedding anniversary. We got pregnant the first try on a cruise on our 1yr wedding anniversary and our baby boy arrived June 23rd - on his due date. I think my baby just knows how much of a planner I am because I truly didn't think we would get pg on our first try or that he would actually come on his due date.   WEIRD!! Good Luck!

    FFS! This post is older than the dirt your grandparent's first house was built on, dumber than a box of rocks, and asshattery at its best. STOP POSTING IN IT. Just. Let. It. Die.

    I really don't want to encourage this because it is VERY unlikely, but yes it can happen.  My mother did this with both of us.  She wanted a September baby and low-in-behold, my due date was Sept. 13th, I was born Sept. 29th (remember this was the 80's I don't think they'd let you go this far overdue anymore).  And she wanted an April baby, my brother was supposed to be somewhere around the 22nd of April, but her waited until May 3rd.  So yes it could be possible, but by no means would I get my hopes up about it.

    Well I wanted my baby to be a December baby so I got pregnant between the end of March and the beginning of April.

    I love that your FIRST post is in this post. 

    Listen up newbs - Don't post in this post JUST FOR THE SAKE OF POSTING SOMETHING. Join a real discussion, not a douchetastic post that should have died months ago.

    Yes, we totally "scheduled" our baby.  It worked out great. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty about being practical.

    Well...because of my fertility issues, I didn't really get to choose...but here is what happened anyway!

    With DS I did injectables & timed BD 1st time out, in Dec...no dice!  Round #2 was in Inj. & IUI....BFP...on March 6.  He was born 11/22/05.

    With #2, Round #1 was Inj. & IUI in Feb= BFN, Round #2 was Inj. & IUI- BFN, IVF #1 in July = chem pg, IVF #2 in Oct = BFN....and IVF #3 on March 1= BFP! 

    My due date is 11/22/09....DS's 4th bday!  Although I would never have picked for them to have bdays together...apparantly my body (even with FTs) likes to get pregnant at the beginning of March!  And of course since it was my LAST chance....I'm thrilled with the results.

    Dear Bump Gods,

    Totally!  Everyone's such a pessimist!  I wanted a summer baby, so we had sex in September, October and beginning of November.  Had we not gotten pregnant, I would have gone back on birth control and tried later.  See, you can pick a season easily, but a certian day is harder!  I'm being induced on Monday July 27.

    Nope... Didn't work.  I wanted an october baby so bad, I am currently due November 25th and it doesn't look like i am going to have the LO until December.  Due to ultrasounds she is showing about a week behind schedule.  I would suggest to start a month or 2 early.

    Aw, that really sucks. I'm so sorry that your plans of conceiving got delayed 2 whole months.  That just sucks.  I'm sure your plans are all messed up now.  That is just awful.

    I know, me too. I ignored it every day I saw it pop up, but today I just had to open it.  It's been around for much too long.  I had to see if I was missing anything good.

    Nope, nothing good in here.

    We picked when we wanted to start or the earliest we wanted to have baby due.  It worked the first week we tried but we had a lot of fun that week.  We were surprised it happened the first time but were prepared for that.

    What's funny is that those of you who are the most annoyed by this post are the ones that are keeping it on top with your multiple irrelevant comments about how stupid the post is.  Pretty good way to get the post to go away, huh?  And you chide the newbies...

    Here's a thought. If you don't know what you're talking about and can't follow along, don't comment. Its that simple.
