I have a 26 day cycle, and just because of how the calendar falls, I should ovulate right at the end of Feb/beginning of March and then again in mid March. DH and I decided to skip the month of March to avoid a Christmas baby. So we are planning to skip the cycle where ovulation lands mid March.
My question is, would you also skip the cycle where I would ovulate end of Feb/beginning of March? Knowing that sometimes pregnancies carry over a week or two, if we conceived right at the beginning of March, we may still end up with a near-Christmas baby. So would you skip or go for it?
The main reason avoiding a Christmas baby is important to me is because my grandma's birthday was the day after Christmas, and she hated it her entire life. It was always unfair for her because her birthday always felt like an afterthought to Christmas, and nobody really wants to go to a big party and celebrate the day after Christmas. Until she passed last spring, we have always made a huge effort to throw a separate party for her the day after, but it was always still a bummer for her. So if possible, I'd like to avoid that for our future kids!
