Opinions, August or July

[Donna88]

I am getting married in August and we will be starting to try straight away.


I know things can change as we have 7 AF's to go until then, but I am pretty regular and I have worked out that my AF will be due 3 days before the wedding if my cycles carry on how they have been.


We are going to Mexico on honeymoon for two weeks a few days after the wedding.


We have discussed starting to try after July's AF, meaning if we fell straight away I would be around 3 weeks at the wedding.


I don't mind not drinking at the wedding or on the honeymoon, but I can see pro's and con's for trying straight away.


If I do fall pregnant straight away, I will not have a period on my wedding day and the baby will be due in April which seems like a nice month. However, it would mean flying to Mexico and back in my first trimester, is it safe to fly then?

I will also know on the wedding day (or at least have a good idea) if I am pregnant as AF will not have showed up.

In my situation, would you start trying in July, or wait for the honeymoon?

You can fly up until your third trimester babe so i wouldnt worry about that ☺️ For me personally i would wait till your honeymoon - It would be nice to enjoy your wedding day and first few days of your honeymoon not worrying about whether you can drink alcohol or not (it can take a few days past af date to get a bfp) what you can /cant eat etc and think how much fun you'll have trying on your honeymoon �� I had a friend who was very sick during her first trimester and you wouldnt want that spoiling your honeymoon ��

Wait til the honeymoon.
Enjoy your together time x

I would probably wait until the honeymoon too! When I had dd I had terrible morning sickness and I genuinely don't think I could have coped with a wedding! I certainly wouldn't have been able to eat! Plus I like a drink! Ha ha! Imagine how special it would be if you conceived on holiday! You'd have to called baby Cancun (or wherever you're staying! Sorry I don't know any other parts of Mexico! Lol!)

I'd wait until the honeymoon personally. I was newly pregnant at my wedding nearly 15 years ago and it sucked. Not only was I bleeding the entire time (lost my DS1s twin that day) but I had horrible morning sickness too. My honeymoon was ruined as a result of lack of energy and severe morning sickness.

It sounds like such a lovely idea being pregnant at your wedding - but sometimes the reality isn't so nice! LOL

I know your all right.... going to do our best to hang on until after the wedding

but it is hard, it's hard waiting now. We've had a through moments where we almost said, let's just go for it.


We've talked about having a baby for so long, I think now the decision has been made that we're definitely trying after the wedding we're sort of just getting a bit giddy and wanting to make a head start.


and you are all right about how great it would be if we got pregnant on honeymoon, that would be special.... and if we didn't get pregnant straight away it would also be nice to just enjoy a bit of time being married.


I just need to keep myself occupied with planning the wedding, work and my university work.... and just stay strong when we are having a bit of ''us'' time (I came off the injection a year ago and went on the pill for a while but it sent me wappy so I came off and we've just used condoms since) which although is great for when we do start trying as I'll not have anything in my system, it does make it harder when we're both getting over exciting about TTC
