Weigh in on whether we should TTC this cycle.

[CloudBee]

I would wait one month.

[jenny1223]

Go for it! Like you said, chances are it won't happen right away and if it does? Yay! Baby!

[slug*bug]

We were in a really similar spot when we decided to TTC #2.

She was born in April, so you can guess which way we went.

You should wait.

Because we'll be TTC in September so if we both get pg quick, we can be pregnancy buddies.

[HoneySpider]

My first instinct was to just go for it but really, it's just one month so I say wait and enjoy your vacation and not worry about the logistics of knowing/telling/hiding.

[ssmjlm]

We were the same as you b/c we're going on a cruise next month.

We started this cycle anyway.

[Deleted]

If I have a rough one, I'll be twice as bad.

[Ashley&Scott]

We also got pg on our 1st cycle trying, it could definitely happen again. I can't imagine having to wait a week to tell DH.

You sound like you're totally fine waiting a little longer, so that's what I would do.

[Deleted]

I think you should go for it!

yes!

[Brie]

Dooooo it.

[jenn248]

I say wait a month and enjoy your vacation. What's one more month in the grand scheme of things?

[crazygame]

I would also wait. Have a great vacation!

Just do it I had to stop planning because it was driving me nuts.

[sugarbear]

We had a similar debate, but for us the timing of going on mat leave before the end of the school year was so great, so we just figured what the hell, let's go for it.

Then I told myself that it might take a few cycles, so we should get the first one out of the way. Maybe I'm reverse jinxing myself?

I would go for it. Odds are you won't get pregnant this month, and if you do I am sure you will be so happy that you won't care about the other stuff.

FWIW, I found out I was pregnant with my first when my DH was out of town and, for various reasons, ended up telling my mother before I told him. It was totally fine, and we are very happy to have the resulting child.

I'd wait a month. Drink like hell for the next few weeks and then TTC.

[sewpinkgal]

My first instinct was to say just go for it. But, as someone who put off our TTC plans for an additional 2 months due to something kind of last minute that I really wanted to do (and absolutely could not be even a little pregnant while doing it), I understand the "it's only a month so wait" school of thought. It sounds like either way, it's a good thing.

[drloretta]

I'd wait and get your drink on.

And I'm jealous of those who get pg on their own, and irrationally jealous of those who get pg on their first try.

[Deleted]

I'm irrationally jealous of anyone that slept longer than 5 continuous hours last night.

I'm crazy to want a second.

all of this

Jenny, maybe we'll both get PG at the same time and our #2s will be the same age, just like our girls. Cosmos, you too.

[bronxgirl]

I had a very difficult time getting PG and needed fertility tx, but once I was PG I had an easy pregnancy and birth so maybe it all evens out.

[Deleted]

yay preggo buddies!

[nonsenseabound]

With our first one we got pg first month, with the second one it took three months.

I say go for it. That way if you don't get knocked up the first month it is not as disappointing. You can then say, hey I get to drink! Woohooooooooo

[Deleted]

I'd go for it too. GL!

[thedash]

I was happy to not be pg in the summer last time, but having a baby in Feb was tough for me. It was really cold that year so I couldn't easily step outside to check the mail or take the dogs in the yard with the baby for the first few weeks. I think spring is the ideal time!

[carolinagirl831]

Just wait a month.

[hopeful2012]

We were going to wait until September and when I got of BC in June we decided whatever happens happens (we're trying for #2 as well). I say go for it!

[mmmomof2]

Being five months pregnant (cute round bump) at Christmas is better than being four months pregnant (is she just eating too many cookies?). But maybe I'm the only vain one!

Since I am sure you're all dying for a state of the ute update, we have decided to wait until next month. DH was not loving the idea of me finding out a week before him and I was not loving the idea of not drinking (and explaining why I am not drinking) with my mom. Since the second part of the trip is just mom, lucy and me, alcohol will likely be necessary.

So, August it is. :-)

I'm late to this thread but :Y:

Enjoy your vacation!
