Dh doesn't want to skip however, an after 4 months so far I can see his point! But, we will see as he is going out of town during fertile week again this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1470336 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:22:23 +0000 lamariniere 1470336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I conceived BOTH of my babies in March, but one of them decided to arrive a few weeks early so she ended up being a November baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469935 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:00:45 +0000 Pirouette 1469935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my December baby!!! But I'm not ready for another just yet ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469720 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:22:13 +0000 Snowdrop 1469720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would LOVE next years christmas present to be a gorgeous little newborn but we are taking this month off due to instruction from our fertility clinic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469665 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:09:40 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1469665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't TTC right now, but I wouldn't skip a month. I'd rather not have a Dec/Jan/Feb baby because 9 out of 15 of our immediate family birthdays are in that time period, but if we have a baby then, I think we would just celebrate 1/2-Birthdays instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469629 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:59:49 +0000 Sparkler 1469629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are getting ready to try, but because I ovulate at the end of the month it would be due right at Xmas. I wouldn't care if this were #1, but would rather be able to focus on the Christmas excitement with my toddler and preschooler than bring preoccupied with watching for signs of labor or maybe not be around to share it with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469594 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:51:36 +0000 Tidybee 1469594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so. But as I haven't gotten my period since my m/c, March may be awash for us. But we're going back to our ways pre-m/c and just having fun and NTNP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469588 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:49:32 +0000 MamaMoose 1469588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I conceived on March 6th and had my baby on 11/26. We are waiting to TTC the next one for a number of reasons, but partly because I don't want another winter baby. March 2015 is the soonest I'm willing to have #2 be due. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469582 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:48:00 +0000 meredithNYC 1469582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm waiting until the next couple of months pass. Don't want a December baby and really would not like a Jan or Feb baby after this miserable winter. My LO was born in late May and that was a lovely time, so I wouldn't mind that again :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469581 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:47:54 +0000 winniebee 1469581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! My niece is a 12/27 baby and I think a Christmas baby would be special! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469577 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:47:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 1469577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but we aren't starting to try until May. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469575 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:47:07 +0000 rachiecakes 1469575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not TTC but J is a December (12/17) baby, conceived my birthday 3/22 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469573 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:46:58 +0000 doxielove 1469573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really...sort of? We're NTNP this cycle, but not because of a potential holiday due date. December-February being the busiest time of the work year for me + TTC exhaustion = NTNP for a bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469571 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:46:47 +0000 Radish 1469571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My next cycle would put my EDD Dec 25-28th (depending on ovulation and when I actually start) so I plan to skip it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469554 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:42:26 +0000 buttermilk 1469554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so torn. I wouldn't mind having an early December baby, but my des would be Dec 19th. And with first pregnancies going late, I bet id have an Xmas day baby! Oy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469506 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:28:47 +0000 Happygal 1469506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought a December baby would be great. Such a special time of the year and cozy.</p> <p>With that said, I think we'll be out from trying in March b/c I'm having lap surgery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469433 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:11:23 +0000 lilyofthewest 1469433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorta. Going to avoid intercourse near ovulation or at least pnp mid-march through early may. We would be okay if I got preggers despite half-assed avoidance, but, we're not going to work at it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469414 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:08:33 +0000 fancyfunction 1469414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not trying now but we conceived in March and have a mid-Dec baby. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469409 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:07:46 +0000 mrswin 1469409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 2.5 years of trying/treatments we won't be skipping any months! :happy: I remember when we first started trying we skipped March for this reason, now I couldn't care less! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469406 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:07:18 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1469406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I considered the holidays when I scheduled my next FET. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469405 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:07:16 +0000 Anya 1469405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I will be begging my body to ovulate BEFORE march 25 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469403 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:07:08 +0000 autumnlove 1469403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 1 is a December baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469400 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:05:56 +0000 travelgirl1 1469400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we are hoping to jump right in this cycle! I just had my first pp period (almost 16 months in the waiting!) and also have an appointment at a fertility clinic mid month. I'm hoping that some way or another we can get this show on the road </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469396 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:05:15 +0000 theotherstark 1469396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: We would have the same EDD!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469394 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:04:28 +0000 septca 1469394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: DD is also a January babe. I would not have planned it that way, but it ended up being incredible! Great time for mat leave, something to look forward to/celebrate in the doldrums of January, nice spacing with other family birthdays... I wouldn't mind one bit having that all over again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469392 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:04:16 +0000 theotherstark 1469392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we're continuing to try this month. A December birthday isn't ideal, and if we got pregnant this month, it's sort of the "worst" timing in terms of some other planning, upcoming trips, etc., so I'm secretly hoping that a la Murphy's Law we'll get pregnant this cycle :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469386 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:03:37 +0000 charmed 1469386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to NTNP. A good portion of my income comes from holiday sales, so it would help financially if I could keep working in November/December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469379 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:03:02 +0000 septca 1469379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We won't skip, but I will admit that it's not my favorite idea ever (my EDD would be December 6th). Not necessarily because of the holidays, but because I am a spoiled brat after my last mat leave and I want to be out during the spring again! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469364 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:00:24 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1469364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. If we did get pregnant this cycle it would be an early December baby. I have an early January baby and love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-skipping-march#post-1469351 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 11:58:45 +0000 Bluemasonjar 1469351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are waiting to TTC #1 until May and part of the reason is because I would prefer not to have a baby around the holidays. I love that time of year but I want my LO's birthday to be its own celebration and not in the middle of the chaos of the holiday season. </p>
