    What would you do?

    So, as I've been gloating for pretty much forever, we're going to Japan after Christmas for three weeks. Yay. As some also know, I've had a molar pregnancy this year and have had to wait to start TTC again. My next blood test is in early December. It's officially my second last, but as I'll be in Japan for the day I should have the last one, the clinic are happy for me to blow it off.
    SO... with those dates, and my cycle where it is, we could start TTC now, and the next blood test would be right on O time, or a little bit after, i.e. would come up clear even if I got pg first go.
    BUT would mean being early pg in Japan. No biggie really, with the possible exception of hot baths, and maybe a bit of m/s while we're there. Raw fish not such an issue as I'm veg anyway.

    We have already waited so long. Part of me is really keen to get TTC again this cycle. The other part of me is so excited about Japan and would love to just enjoy it without limitations. (and maybe bring back a souvenir!)

    The options:
    a) start TTC now, full-on
    b) hold off now, and go full-on when in Japan
    c) not think about it in the slightest and take it as it comes.

    What do you folk reckon?

    C ! take it as it comes

    I would relax, You have been through alot already and getting too anxious and putting pressure on yourself and your partner isnt what you want. Look forward to your holiday( sounds like you;ve been bragging lol ) and make love whenever you can.

    my son was a suprise, although very much wanted he came at the right time.... you can plan a preganancy but thats not as much fun as feeling sick and thinking you ate some bad food in Japan... then when you get home you could have a little suprise...

    Relax.....and take everyday as it comes
    Goodluck

    I'd tend towards C. But maybe B....guess it depends how likely it is to "rule" your thoughts. Can you let go and relax if you're ttc? Don't let it interfere with your lovely holiday.

    As an aside, we're doing C - off to NZ next month then IVF early next year so technically TTC in the mean time but no expectation of success.

    I don't know if I am honestly capable of C. I can't not know where in my cycle I am, it will always be on my mind! But I am thinking it might be the best way to go...

    Hello SnugBug my friend, I don't know how much help I can be but to tell you of my experience and what I thought about my decisions 'after the fact' ohhhh glorious hindsight we started ttc in Sep last year on our honeymoon in Phuket... of course we all know how that turned out and it was with a BFN so I spent 5 weeks in sunny Phuket watching what I ate and not drinking dozens of ****tails because I wanted to keep my body as baby friendly as possible so I dunno sorry not much help! lol
