Paying with ttc date, mind giving an opinion?

[Rabbitmama85]

This is probably the most trivial, silly thing ever, but Im so indecisive and wouldn't mind a second opinion. We've been setting our ttc date as first O after June 1st because that would place baby well after holidays (edd would be late feb), even if baby should come a little early, I'm probably in the clear for baby arriving after the new year. But, I would really like to have a march/April/may baby.

I wasn't really expecting to O until later into the month, which would put edd closer to what I was hoping for, but i was playing around FF and saw that its predicting that O will be happening right at the beginning of June.

So now I can't decide if I want to hold off until July to ttc or if I should just start in June because, chances are, I will need more than one cycle before BFP anyway.

I got my sway plan (blue), and dh was totally ready to go all out on it, until he read it. He doesn't want to give up his cardio and doesn't want to eat so much extra fatty foods when he knows he will put on weight with it. He struggles with weight loss, but he's been really doing well lately. He's hoping to run a couple of marathons this year...which is probably not going to be great for making lots of healthy swimmers. So he's asking me when he's supposed to start the "fat diet".

He really really wants to sway, but he also doesn't want to go back to all the unhealthy habits we had before. Before winter hit, he was able to jog about 8-10K, and he's eager to get started with that again....

Soooo. If we ttc for June, and need 90 days to start this diet/exercise program, we would need to start in march. But if we start ttc during July, he gets an extra month in early spring to jog, and I get closer to the dates I want, but he's getting more into his marathon months the longer we wait....

Just trying to find a balance to work out his part in the sway, and still keeping him happy and healthy. Plus factoring in my edd desires....I feel like with the preseed and extra attempts, we'll have a pretty good chance of getting BFP pretty fast, just not sure how fast to plan for.

When is his marathon? How long does it take for him to get back into shape? Can he do some strength training and short interval runs to keep him happy while waiting?

My hubby is an out of shape, couch potato and has 2 sons (one in April, one in March).....lol, and I am so guilty of the boy diet, snacking all the time, high protein, fat and cals!!! We were blessed to get BFPs in the months we wanted when ttc boy! And hoping the same for you!!!

Just asked him and he said April, June and July are the ones coming up. I think we'll just start in June so at least he can super train for the one in July if we get a bfp. I know that my diet and exercise is more important than his, but hopefully he can still take it easy a bit.

Lol, I guess I just needed to type it out to help me figure it out. Thanks for having me ask him when his marathons were. I thought they were mostly in late summer,

He doesn't have to do the diet, only YOU do. All he needs to do is increase his fruit and veg intake, maybe a little more lean red meat, and more HEALTHY fats like olive oil and nuts - those are GOOD for his health and will help him maintain a healthy weight.

If the worst thing he does is jog, that's not so bad really as long as he's doing sperm-friendly supps - if that's going to enhace his bliss then let it go with no argument.

thanks, I'll let him know
