TTC and planning summer vacation
This might be a silly question but when you were TTC, did you take into consideration anything special when you were planning your holidays. Did you buy trip insurance and hope for the best or did you wait until during your trip or after to start to TTC?
Re: TTC and planning summer vacation
It took us over 3 years to successfully conceive, so if we had waited, we never would have went anywhere! Although I should say we don't usually decide on vacations until 4 - 8 weeks out. I would go ahead a book and hope to bring home a special "souvenir".
We delayed TTC by 6 months because of a planned trip to Australia. But, we are planning a trip to Colorado for 6 months after the Australia trip and Virginia for 2 months after that and won't be delaying TTC due to either of those trips. So I guess my answer is, it depends.
ETA: I don't plan on buying trip insurance for CO. We will go even if I am pregnant. VA we will decide closer to the date if we will fly or drive so I'm not worried about it.

We aren't TTC yet, but when the time comes I'm sure it will affect travel if only because we're from different countries and travel to see friends and family every year.
Personally, if there's a trip we really want to take in the near future when we start thinking about kids, I'd hold off on TTC until we were close enough to the trip that we could still go. I mean, if we've got a cruise to Antarctica all planned out, I'd rather wait a couple extra months for a baby than delay something like that. But beyond a major trip like that, I'd just TTC and buy insurance for any "normal" trips.

We also are planning to go to the Olympics, but unlike the PP we just decided to time our TTC months to where I could still fly to London.
It sounds a little selfish, but I still want us to be able to have lives while TTC and I don't necessarily think we should rearrange our entire travel plans when we aren't even pregnant yet.

We made a realistic list of trips we wanted to go on prior to getting pregnant and went on those trips over the past 5 years. When we returned from our last one (China) we started TTC.
We then planned our next trip as one that I would be comfortable going on if I was pregnant (to Hawaii). We made sure the hotel and airfare were cancelable, which was a good thing because we did end up canceling our trip due to pregnancy complications. Luckily we were able to rebook it and we went two weeks ago!
