to start TTC or not

My husband and I were trying to conceive last fall and winter. With no success and no ovulation we went to the doctors and did the test. But after we did that my brother got engaged and instead of having a normal wedding they decide to have one in Jamaica in a year. So we are on the fence. I go to my OB next week to talk to her about going off my birth control again. I hate to put my life on hold because I want to be at my brothers wedding, but I am just not sure what to do. I even thought about if I was pregnant for their wedding. Which wouldn't be a problem, however then you get into buying a dress bigger and all that fun stuff that goes with it. Not sure what to do and just looking for advice, maybe someone has been in a similar shoe that can help me.

    I would stick to your own time frame. What happens after the wedding and if they start trying to have a family. Then do you have to wait so the babies don't come at the same time or wait so they do? I would start focusing on your own family unit.

    I agree. Bigger dress, feeling yucky at the wedding, not drinking, etc. would not stop me from TTC. However, if you'll be devastated if you can't attend I might avoid trying for due dates that would have you in the third trimester and right after to maximize your odds.

    Lurker here - I want a baby.  I don't care what kinda hell I have to go through and deal with.  I just want a baby.  If you are at stage of going to RE, I'd be doing whatever they said to get KU.

    Maybe talk to your brother? Weddings are definitely once in a lifetime event, but since they chose to have a destination wedding they made the decision to possibly not have everyone there (we did this). I agree if you're on the fence maybe start trying 6 months before the wedding, even if you do have a small bump when the wedding comes, finding a dress 6 months out shouldn't be *too* difficult. Drinking obviously is a whole other con, but nobody can make this decision except you! But no, I wouldn't put my baby timeline on hold for my brother (who I do love)'s wedding- baby making takes time and who knows if it'll even be an issue. Could be a nice vacation if you haven't gotten your BFP after a few months of trying!
