AIBU to ask my DP not to go away when I'm ovulating?

This is a bit of an AIBU - basically my situation is that myself and my dp have been trying for a baby for over 18 months now. At first I was quite relaxed about it all, but becase its been so long Im starting to get v. anxious/worried about if/when it will happen. I had an early mc in feb and so I know we can get preg - Im taking all the steps possible to try and make it happen..

This month for the first time I have been having acupuncture. This has made me feel really positive about things, and one of the things my acupuncturist is working on is bringing my ovulation forward (I usually ovulate on about day 23 which is quite late) I obviously have no idea if this will work this month. My dp is going on a camping trip this bank hol, and if my ovulation was brought forward I would be ovulating around then (sods law!)

Taking into account all the money I'm spending on acupuncture/the emotional investment (!) etc would it be really unreasonable to ask him to think about not going? My dp really wants a baby too. I just don't think he has the same anxieties/sense of urgency I do.

We have an appointment with a fertility specialist next month, but I know we can do it by ourselves, and I want to give this the best shot I can before considering other options...

As long as he is not away for a full week (3 days before and after), you could still be all right. We never had the opportunity to be together for a week around one of my ovulations and DS is now 2.5 years old Wink

Let him go away, relax and have a lovely weekend yourself doing things you want to do - and then have a shagfest when he gets back. As gingercat says, you could be alright.

Thanks for the reassurance - he is only going fri - mon so hopefully this should mean we wont miss an opportunity. I've been looking forward to a whole weekend all to myself for ages, and don't want to miss out on some quality 'me' time, so it's for the best he does go I think..
