Trip to DR...pause in TTC

Justina • dentist Baby Chuck born 10/03👶🏻! 2 angel babies👼🏻👼🏻
We have been ttc for almost 9 months now and had one early miscarriage (5 weeks) at the end of September. To cheer us up, we booked a 7 day all inclusive trip to the Dominican Republic. We didn't really think about Zika at the time of booking, but now, I'm freaking out. We have stopped ttc for the last month or so and I have bought 5 bottles of DEET, essential oils, and Avon bug spray. We have condoms to use while on the trip and when we get back. I spoke to my medical provider and he basically said "well you shouldn't even be going if you are ttc" . I asked about getting tested when we get back and he said no! (Only if we show symptoms)
Has anyone been on a trip recently to a country where Zika is prevalent ? And are you just playing it safe and waiting 6 months to start ttc again? 
UPDATE: just came back from our trip to the DR! It was a wonderful time and really helped us to relax and unwind from our jobs and the snow! No mosquito bites! I thought I had one but it disappeared and never was really itchy (thinking it was a fly bite). I took down 100% deet, essential oils, and these Bug Free bracelets. Thanks again to everyone who replied before!
