looking for advice from already mamas!! I am torn..
A little background on our fertility journey. We got married September 9th 2017. We started ttc on our wedding night. First month we got pregnant but ended in a chemical pregnancy. We continued to try, with no luck until we had another Chemical pregnancy in April. That made me make an appt. With my doctor to find out if there was any underlying issues. With blood work, we did find the reason for my miscarriages. I had thyroid disorder. Normal thyroid, but a high antibodies count. (Normal being 9, mine was in the 600s) I have been on medication for 2 cycles now. Aside from that, my Dr. Felt we should and would now have no trouble to be able to carry a baby to term. I am at the end of my menstruation now, and June I have a double fertile week month. So we have another opportunity to try... below I'll write my question for you mamas.
My husband and I's best friends are getting married April 2019. Both my husband and I are in their wedding. This wedding is in MN, and we live in WI with about a 4hr commute one way. For months now, I had it in my head if we didnt get pregnant by first fertil week in June, we would hold off until August. Essentially, taking 2 months off ttc. To avoid being to close to our due date and being away from what would be our "birth plan" mostly Drs and family etc.
So here it is...
Hypothetical... I have another fertile week this coming week. If we try again, succeed.. our due date would potentially be March 22nd. So, there's that.. which if all goes to due date (haha right) i would be 3 weeks post partum... in a wedding. Say I went over a week, Id then be 2 weeks post partum in a wedding with a newborn. Granted, at this point.. I have it figured we would have my mom or someone close come w us and care for the baby and keep us close etc. As a new mom.... with honesty.. would you have put yourself in that situation? Do you think, you could have done that 2 or 3 weeks post partum???
I am SOOOOO torn. July, we skip all together because our due date would be around April 17th. So I would be to close to my due date. Weddings April 13th.
So then, August we would pick back up trying. I just wanna know, as a new mama or mamas looking back... Would you put yourself into this? Or would you wait? Do u think you would have been able to do it??
I should also add, I have no problem being pregnant as a bridesmaid at all. My largest concern is being so close to a due date and going into labor at my friends wedding hours away from home.
