There will also be some sort of big event. TTC may take longer than expected (I really hope it doesn't for you, but you never know). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1031328 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:52:45 +0000 Vegmama 1031328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DiamondEyes: We definitely thought about it. I really didn't want a holiday baby (just because our family is allll the way across the country, and travel in the winter is a little crazy) ... Of course, we're due in early January. So much for planning! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1030160 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 20:09:40 +0000 pui 1030160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't postpone. There will always be events coming up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1030156 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 20:08:05 +0000 babycanuck 1030156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put off TTC in the beginning because of a trip and I really regret it. It's taking us a long time to conceive so I should have just started when I intended to. Trips will be there at later dates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1030122 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:56:00 +0000 buttermilk 1030122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was super stressed about TTC now while my friend just announced her wedding in hawaii next may. In the end we decided to just try any way and take a chance, and now I just found out her wedding is postponed til September! Haha. </p> <p>I say go for it, you never know what will happen between now and then! And you come first when it comes to TTC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1029924 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:57:25 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1029924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While TTC, I've learned its not worth putting anything off for what is in the future. There will always be a big event coming up. And you never know what is in store for you TTC-wise. So if you're ready, go for it, and figure out what to do when you do get pregnant. It may take one month, or it could take a year or longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1029910 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:50:01 +0000 HellOnHeels 1029910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I guess the wedding and anniversary shouldn't hinder our decision, I'm just feeling bad about the trip. Nothing is booked, we've just been talking about it. But it's with my family and my parents are super excited about all of us finally going on a bike trip together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1029890 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:37:20 +0000 MrsKoala 1029890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with PPs in regards to the importance of those events and using that to weigh your decision. That being said if you want to TTC, go for it. There will always be a reason to push it back but I wouldn't let those reasons stop you as something else will inevitably come up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1029881 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:31:44 +0000 LindsayInNY 1029881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @Rubies: said - how important are these events but also, can any of them be rescheduled? If the bike trip is fully booked and can't be, that's something to keep in mind. When we started TTC, I knew about a wedding in November. That was a chance we took, knowing that I might not be able to go. Well, here I am, still TTC... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1029880 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:29:35 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1029880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was seven months pregnant as MoH in my BFFs wedding. We postponed ttc for two months because I didn't want to miss her wedding. Being pregnant at a wedding isn't a big deal to me or my friends. I wouldn't ride a motorcycle, but I don't ride them not pregnant either.<br /> Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1029877 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:26:54 +0000 Rubies 1029877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on how important these events are. If this bike trip is something you want to do before being pregnant then wait. But when DH and I decided to TTC, then that became priority over any other event in our lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postponing-ttc-for-upcoming-plansevents#post-1029855 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:08:31 +0000 HellOnHeels 1029855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So after warning DH about baby fever and letting him think about timelines this weekend, we'll hopefully be setting it tonight. I've also been thinking about it, and hoping we'll be TTC by the beginning of next year (my timeline, we'll see where he's at). BUT, I've realized we have 3 big events planned or in the midst of planning for next summer already; a 2 week motorcycle trip, a wedding where I'm the MOH and my grandparents 50th. Obviously, the 50th isn't a big deal, but the trip and wedding definitely are if I'm KU.</p> <p>With that said, I'm not sure (IF DH is on board with my plan) if we should postpone TTC 'til later in the year so that being preggo doesn't interfere with these things. I mean, if we DO get KU at the beginning of the year, I would be 5-7 months along... I don't think I would want to ride a bike or would have to make sure my dress still fits. But, it might not happen on the first try anyway, or until months later... </p> <p>What do ya'll think? Did you think about this? Did it even matter for you? </p>
