Looking for some peace of mind and thoughts. Bear with me- somewhat long post.

My husband and I have been TTC baby#1 since June. My cycles have just started getting regular again after the pill so I guess technically we’ve been “for real” trying on a regular cycle since August.

My aunt has booked a cruise for me, my grandma and my girl cousins. I have been so excited to go but just learned that one of the islands were going to has Zika. (Jamaica)

I spoke with my OBGYN and she told me that if I’m not pregnant by then, which is in February, I can go. But if I do go, she wants us to wait 6 months from when I return to start trying again.

I just read on CDC website that it suggests waiting 2 months to try again if only the female partner travels.

I am so torn because as much as I want to go on this once in a life time girls cruise with my adorable grandma, I also don’t know that I want to stop trying and wait until this time next year.

What are some thoughts? Do you think my doctor is being extra cautious by saying 6 months? If I only have to wait 2 months I may go. But 6 is a little much. It worries me that’s its been 4 months already I hate to add another year to the timeline.

Thanks so much for any thoughts!! I would love to hear any opinions.

**update. Called my doctor again and she said she thought my husband was going too. For just me I’d only have to wait 2 months after returning.

We think we decided if it doesn’t happen this month, (ovulating next week!) then I’ll take out travel insurance and plan to go if I don’t get pregnant by January.
