Bridesmaid or baby??

Question

DH and I are currently trying for baby #1, we are both over 30. This cycle AF came on 1/15. :-(   I have been asked to be a bridesmaid in my good friend's wedding in November. So, the dilemma, do we try this cycle, knowing that if we get our BFP that I may miss the wedding as it will require out of state travel? Or do we wait, and make sure we make the wedding. Added factors: We have been wanting a baby for a while. But I've known this friend since elementary school.

Answer

I would do both - BD and commit to being a bridesmaid. I think it's unrealistic to put one's life on hold due to potentially making and having a baby (because there is so little we can control when it comes to all of that, unfortunately!). Best wishes to you!

Answer

Try for the baby.  If you do end up pregnant, I'm sure your friend would understand...and if not, she's not really a good friend.  I'd rather try then miss a month of trying.

Answer

Continue with your plans. Besides whatever is meant to happen will always find a way so even if you stop trying, if you are meant to have a baby by then, it will happen. So let her know so she can order the dress accordingly, closer to that date
