A bit of background info: I’m 28, H2B is 31, been together 6 years and we were due to get married in June but have had to postpone our wedding until September in view of Covid.
I’ve always wanted children but have been particularly broody over the last 2 years. H2B also wants to start a family but not as broody as I am!
We were due to start TTC in March as, even if I’d got pregnant straight away, I’d be unlikely to have a bump by the wedding and so could keep it a secret until then.
Obviously with everything that’s been happening in the world, we took the view that our June wedding would probably not go ahead and so decided to postpone until September. With this, we also decided to postponed TTC until June.
Lockdown has lasted for much longer than I expected and so we’re now faced with the possibility of having to postpone our wedding until next year.
What would you do with regards to TTC? I don’t know whether to risk TTC next cycle, knowing that the wedding may have to be postponed, but I’m also fully aware that things could take a long time and we might regret not starting sooner! The thought of waiting until next year to TTC is devastating. We can only postpone our wedding up until June next year - after that we would lose a lot of the money we’ve already paid.
I personally wouldn’t want to be a heavily pregnant bride as my mum has bought my wedding dress and it would break both of our hearts if I couldn’t wear it! (I know that sounds trivial in the grand scheme of things)
I know I probably sound really pathetic but I’m just so torn as to what we should do and would really appreciate any advice or opinions!
