Hey guys,
This might be long, but lol Okay so DH and I are supposed to be waiting for November 15th to "try" to attempt to make my EDD if we conceived on the first try away from his Iron man Race. I ovulated on CD21 this cycle. My cycles are getting longer and that means November 15 will be CD19. Since my O day is so close to when we would "try" we may be trying next cycle. I had a break down because I thought I was having annovulatory cycle. Well I told him I didn't want to try anymore and went a little looney. He was upset because he wanted to try and I said it was too stressful because we have pushed back this date constantly. I told him this was supposed to be fun and with all the waiting its just stressful. So we decided not to have a plan. Next cycle we are going to take it day by day. I want to get pregnant lol but it would be kind of inconvenient to be pregnant in November. In July we will need to travel to Upstate NY. Js worried I will go early, but most first time mothers go late right? I would be around 38 weeks at the time of the race.
I'm so excited but torn! Should I wait longer? Omg I am so excited, but I'm scared me excited.

Re: Big news!
Then again, I'm also a future FTM so I probably should defer to others on this. Either way, hooray for starting soon!
It is awesome that he is doing this race, and I completely understand wanting to do everything possible to be there. BUT, I think you are over planning this thing. I tend to over plan too, so I will tell you what my wise friend tells me when my planning gets a little extreme....
Anything could happen, despite your best efforts to plan. You could get pg right away then go into labor early and miss the race. You could get pg after 3 months and still go into labor early and miss the race. Heck, you could not get pg at all, catch the flu the day before, and still miss the race. On the flip side, everything could work out perfectly, which I sincerely hope for you.
It sounds like you really value your H's race, and he really values TTC and being there for the birth. I think you both have the same hopes and values and will do whatever possible to be there to support each other through both milestones. With that mindset, I don't think you can lose. It doesn't sound like he will hold a 20 year grudge against you for going into labor during the race or that you would hold a grudge against him if he missed the birth due to the race. In the end, you would both be happy to have a baby and finisher's medal, even if they happened at the same time. The chances of both events happening on the same day are probably pretty low, so I'd just go with the flow and relax on the planning.
(I know easier said than done)
DD #2: EDD July 2016
