A plan

So I've made a plan for the next month.

Reluctantly back to bc for the next month. Me and dp don't like condoms but were going to have to use them for a little while.
I can't take the pill, and don't want anything semi permanent since we want to ttc in a few months (otherwise I'd get a IUD). So that's it for now.
Basically we're going on holidays next month down the coast then up the coast, then overseas to Vanuatu (yay!!).
Only problem there's a small risk of malaria on the island. That means anti-malaria medication.
No way do I want to risk conceiving whilst on those pills - I've searched around and apparently there are too many risks.
Has anyone taken them while ttc/pg, or know anyone who has?
(I plan on taking either doxclycline or malarone, I've taken doxcycline before and had no issues but apparently it's the more detrimental drug...)

So as much as I want to let nature do its thing... not in July.
There goes the romantic notion of conceiving on a tropical island!
Anyway, 5 more days until i get my blood test results... Kind of want to ring up just to see, but i know they won't tell me over the phone!
