Nervous to wait

[LiveOutLoud]

Soo thanks to many of you on this forum, I have nailed down my ovulation date! I have so much excitement that is finally known...however it took many months to track. As I look at a planner, I see that if we were to conceive in the next couple months, that would mean that I'd be the third trimester during the winter months..and for me I usually have an exacerbation once a year during that season requiring two weeks of iv antibiotics.

I am very nervous about postponing ttc b/c you never know what might happen in the next 6 months. So question, did any of you wait to conceive and time it according to your body's cyclical excerbations or did you just go for it? I was just thinking a summer due date might be more beneficial for me and baby since I usually don't have many problems during those months.

Any thoughts?

The trimester during pregnancy that it is best to avoid medication usage is the first through 16 weeks (I believe, pls someone correct me if I have the # of weeks wrong). So you'll want to head into pregnancy at a strong point/time for you.

I worried about things like this as well, and now at month 25 of ttc we would be in tears to have a pregnancy.

Well, as some of you read my posts on other section regarding embolization, you are caught up. Summary- coughed up lots during night, drove 2 hours to clinic/hospital, had embolization, back home now on home iv's.

Hmmm, soul-searching going on over here. Even with strong pft's, I still had this scary experience of bleeding and an embolization performed. And as scary as it was, I cannot imagine the position my husband and I would have been in if we were expecting a child. Why did we wait so long to ttc? I know we are only in our late twenties but I sometimes think we should have approached this earlier in our marriage. I know i'm caught up in the emotion of it now, but will be praying about what God's will for our life is.....

Christina...I totally understand! After this experience though, I'm wondering if I am as strong as I think though. Amazing how 24 hours can change your life!

Hi there,

I also thought about timing when I was considering pregnancy. I always seemed to have issues in the fall with my health (i.e. sinus infections, lung infections, etc), so I thought that might not be the best time to be in the beginning stages of pregnancy and/or the end. But turns out for the past couple years, spring has been my bad season, so it really didn't matter. I ended up having an exacerbation when I was 4 months pregnant and went on inhaled Colistin which took care of the problem. Then after I had the baby (in the summer), I had a hard time coughing because of the stitches and ended up getting a bit sick then too. My PFT's dropped down about 30% right after I gave birth. So fortunately I got pregnant at the right time and wasn't in my bad seasons at the beginning or the end of the preganncy. But honestly, it's sort of hard to plan it out like that.

Hey,
Yes I am in the same boat right now. We ttc'd for 7 months without success. We've been on a break for several months though, to also avoid the hard winter months.
I was obsessing and obsessing about it, bc I didn't want to deliver in winter. But when I thought about it realistically, the sickest I've ever been was from June-July (2 yrs ago now). During the summer!
I hate winter. I thrive in hot/warm climates. But I got seriously ill back then, during that summer, so-My conclusion is that I have the potential to get seriously sick ANY time of the year. I have to be careful year round.
The 2nd 'most sick' time I went through was when I caught the flu during my 6th month of pregnancy (in Feb.). It was scary, but after 2 weeks of fighting, I bounced back.
I'm shooting for beginning ttc again soon if all goes well. That would mean the earliest I could possibly deliver a baby is late March. Still winter, but the tail end of it. The fact is, I'll be hibernating at home for 6-8 weeks anyway after birth, so by the time thats up it will be spring.
Another thing to consider is lifestyle with the seasons. My husband works alot in the winter months-70-80 hours a week, so not having him around much would be harder. Another reason for delaying ttc.
And I wanted to add, 2 years ago I thought I'd never be able to consider having a 2nd child. I decided I'd find a way to be happy with 1, and we were getting to be ok with that. Then, with the ups and downs of cf...circumstances changed. Lots of hard work later, and prayers, here we are. We still don't know what will happen, but 'letting it go' really does alot. I was very depressed after my sudden illness 2 yrs ago and about not being able to have more children. Once I really let it go, my attitude improved, my health improved..etc. So hold on knowing that things can change. And work hard in the meantime.
