s/o phantom due date...

steffwd124

so, i know this far into the process all it really does is get my hopes up, but i was looking just to see if i'd get a chance for a 2010 baby...

So, i looked up my due date based on CD1 and hoping i O at a "normal" time...

good news:  12-31-10!

bad news: that's my anniversary, and makes me cringe a little...

granted, i'm not gonna waste this cycle, Clomid is way to precious and not fun to do something crazy like sit out a cycle, but would that make anyone else cringe a little??

Honestly, the chances of actually delivering on your due date is not all that high.  You could go early or late.  I wouldn't worry about it that much.  I'm sure you'd be thrilled with that as an anniversary gift if it happened that way.

Would it make me cringe if my due date was also my anniversary date? No, not at all...

I'm a little confused. Why would that bother you? People rarely give birth "on" their due dates, and even if you did.. why would that matter?

Nah, like the pp said, you probably wouldn't have LO on your exact due date.

o yes, this i know. i just saw the date and was like, "...eek".  I told DH, "hey we can hope for twins and then it'll be like a month early!" plus... i last cycle i was a late responder to clomid so i didn't O till like CD 19-ish, but again! the good news! chance for a 2010 baby!

edit... apparently i'm the only one who thought it was eek worthy. NM everyone...

If I would have conceived a few months ago my EDD was our anniversary, and I would have been thrilled.  Even though I know I probably wouldn't deliver that day, I thought it was really cool.  Actually, it made AF the next cycle that much harder.

That said...I can't imagine caring what day I give birth.  I don't care if it's 6-6 at 6 PM.  I'll be thrilled no matter what.

Hi!

I agree and understand, April is our last shot for 2010 baby as well. 

I would also cringe because 12/31 is cutting it way too close to almost missing the tax deduction for the year, LOL!!!!  Just trying to make you smile.  I hope you have a great night!!!

GL....I am hoping you get your 2010 baby

I'd take any due date, anniversary, Christmas, New Year's, my fur babies birthday..whenever just gimme a damn baby!

Highly doubtful you'd deliver on your due date!

My due date was 1/10 for DS and he was born 1/2!!! Almost made it for that tax break!

My Phantom DD is 12/15, which gave me pause simply beacsue I realized that with still this year and therefore, still able to be classified as relatively 'close' to now. This is also speaking as a new year's day baby and I can still recall to stories of how I ruined everyone's NYE and my parents missed that tax break!

Due date for our 1st BFP was 2 days before our anniversary and I thought it would be so cool if that baby came 2 days late (or 2 days early... would've been Father's day).

as would i! This hasn't even made me think about stopping, it just took me a-back.  I guess, it was the whole, it's the only day that's "ours".  But again! it hasn't slowed us down! 

As to the whole "ruining" NYE for everyone... i already did that when i got married that day!

whoo hoo! I would love to have a anniversary baby this year is 7 years for us and there is nothing we want more than to become a family of three!  What an amazing gift that would be.

I was induced with my DS on my anniversary (not my choice).  I was kinda bummed at first that he could be born on our anniversary, but by the time I was in labor i WISHED he was born on that day (just so he would be out!).  Turns out he had other plans and was born 21 min on the next day.  I would just take what you can get...you'll figure out the logistics later.  GL
