So Dh and I have just started TTC. He has this big "once in a lifetime" trip abroad planned next year with some friends. He agreed to going before we started TTC and I'm happy for him to go. However, i'm suggesting that we take a 3 month break from TTC (and actually use condoms) to prevent me falling pregnant and the possible due date being close or during the time he will be away. Ideally, id rather him not be away if im more than 7 months pregnant and also so nor earlier than when (hopefully) future baby is 1 month old.
It just seems very odd planning this sort of thing as of course we dont know how long to could take and almost feels a bit disappointing to be actively avoiding failling pregnant during a certain window when we both want it so badly. Anyone have any similar experience? Are we being ridiculous? Im 27 so do have the time but it also makes me sad to "waste" 3 cycles as i've gotten quite excited about starting!
