Early confession
I have to get a dress for my best friend's wedding and Davids Bridal keeps calling her and telling her that their new lines are coming out soon and so we all have to go in and order in case they discontinue the color or dress. Which I know we have to do eventually, but I am really tired of the scare tactics. Anyhow the real issue is that Kevin and I stopped using any form of bc and I am completely paranoid that I could be pg and go order this dress, pay the $$ and then 3 weeks from now find out I am KU and be out the $$ and need another dress. I realize that this is all completely insane but I don't want to go buy this stupid dress yet. And yes, I am completely the worst MOH in the entire world.?

Re: Early confession
My best friend recently got engaged and we went looking for dresses this weekend....well the sales lady heard I was pregnant and was like what?? well we only have a few maternity dresses and they are not very cute...I am like umm ok so what. Then my best friend goes the wedding is a year away and she wont be pregnant then so I think we have plenty of time...
It was funny going in there because when we got my dress they kept telling me it would be discontinued soon...haha not because it was on the rack and girls were trying it on over a year later!!! They just want to make money.
Hmmm, What does your friend say? Does she want you to go ASAP to order the dress? Maybe you can procrastinate for a few weeks till you find out if you are PG? If not, maybe you can order the dress in a size larger and have it taken in if you are not PG... when is the wedding? Maybe you could just have the dress taken out if needed when the wedding rolls around?
The wedding is in May. There is no reason to think that this month, more than any other month, that I may be pg... its just that since we aren't using anything, the possibility is out there and now that my friend is worrying about us ordering before its discontinued or something, I'm feeling the pressure.?
?Thank you for not completely laughing at me, I do realize what a ridiculous problem this is. ?
The high pressure sales they use are ridiculous. There will always be other dresses coming out. Is your friend dead set on this one particular style of dress or, is she willing to risk it and see what come out next?
If she is set on this one, you might want to consider ordering one size up. That way you will have some leeway if you do get pregnant sooner rather than later. If not, it won't be so big that it can't be altered down easily. Also, leave the tags on when it comes in. It may be that you would be able to exchange for another dress in David's if you had to (depends on the individual store - some are great about it, others aren't). The worst case scenario would be ordering another dress. Yes, it would be an expense but, not the end of the world.
Congrats on TTC! This does NOT make you a bad MOH. Your reproductive life and your friend's wedding are two separate issues. I would never hold off on potentially having a baby just because a wedding was coming up. The reality is, you could get pg this cycle or it could take a few months, you just never know. Regardless, you need to do what is right for you and Kevin.
