Conceiving in Bali - would you? Zika risk.

Does anyone know much about the Zika risk in Bali right now? I'll be travelling there with DH later this year and really wanted to kick off ttc there. Is this a stupid idea? The doctor has said there is a moderate level of risk. Would you take it? I can't bear the thought of waiting for 6 months after we return and telling DH we couldn't go would break his heart. He is ready to ttc but not as fussed about the timing.

No way would I risk it, the zika is horrible and can have dire consequences. Not what you wanted to hear. 6months is a blip in time though it may not feel like it.

It might take a while but also it might not. For me I had implant removed with the view of TTC, I'm hideously overweight was trying to lose to help my miniscule chances and 'fell' in the second month of 'proper' trying. Dumb struck we were!

Is it really worth the risk?
