Clicky Poll: Am I out of my mind?

JoAnna914 · March 2011

I am still "recovering" from my C/P, but my doc was very confident that I will O this month, but maybe just a little later than usual. If my cycle goes as it usually does, I will O over the weekend . . . and of course my DH will be out of town during all of my fertile days. I really wanted to try this cycle, since my doc said that there is evidence that women are more fertile in the months after a c/p, but DH won't be here. Soooooooo, I was thinking of going to him for the weekend, but the flight is ridiculously expensive. I can afford it, but would it be ridiculous for me to spend $700 for the 20% chance of making a baby when I'm not even sure if I'll be Oing when I get to where I'm going?

Most c/p that I have seen from women on here, their cycle right after is usually a little longer. Some have O'd up to 10 days later.

While I absolutely would spend the money, just in case.....I agree with Cashews that there is no guarantee your cycle is still the same. I'm 5 months out and while I "normally" O'd at CD14, I was at CD 19 this cycle....you just never know! Good luck!

Check out my charts. I've o'd on DCs 11, 14, 18 and now maybe 20. You can't count on anything right now.

I agree with the others. You don't know for sure that your cycle will be spot on. I actually O'd this cycle (2 after my mc) 4 days earlier than I normally do and only know that because I was using opks. I say if you are ok with the cost and can make it into a fun, romantic get-away for you and your DH, then go for it. But don't go solely for the reason that you may O. On the flip side, I've also had a few cycles where travel affected my O, ie-pushed it back a few days. GL!

This happened to me- it wasn't 10 days later, but significantly later. I voted no to the flight.

I voted No.... Even with perfect timing, pregnancy isn't a guarantee. I would save the money, and just hump it out before he leaves and when he gets back. Unless you're independently wealthy, in which case, enjoy your mini-vacation!

I agree with pp, that you may not even O at that time (but Murphy's law would have you O if you don't go, of course!) Is he going to be somewhere cool that it will be a fun trip even if you don't O at that time? I'd say if you have the $, a little getaway would be awesome, and then you at least have your bases covered in case you get your O when you expect it.

I don't O on time anymore (and I was so friggin' regular that I stopped temping-- granted 14+ months in)... I would go for it if you can. GL.

I see that the consensus is that I am, indeed, out of my mind, lol. I am staying put, and taking good care of myself this weekend. I have a couple of girlfriends I want to catch up with, a much overdue appointment with the salon, and a massage scheduled, all of which are cheaper than the flight I was considering.

I was just feeling desperate to TTC again - the emotional pain of my c/p has been really intense for me, and I was grasping at anything that would give me control over the situation. Alas, though, one rarely has any control over this process, which is something I have difficulty accepting. If not this cycle, hopefully next cycle when I'm in Mexico for an uber-romantic vacation with my DH :-)
