If my calculations are correct, I will ovulate on Sunday. I want so badly to try right now, but it's so soon after surgery, and I know I'd be setting myself up for heartache by trying ths weekend. If I did conceive, I know I'd be setting myself up to lose the baby.
Someone please kick me, or talk me out of it. I want so badly to ttc, it's killing me. I want another baby so badly. I need this, but I know I have to wait. The last time I got pregnant right after surgery, I miscarried at 6w2d.
I'm so desperate to try..I don't know what to do, and SO likes my sex so much that he never turns me down.

I know it's hard, but if you could wait even just one month. Give your body a little chance to heal up.

I know it's hard. I wanted to try right away, too. But it is better for your body to heal some first....so they all say!! Good luck whatever you do!

I know it's hard...but just keep thinking about that beautiful, healthy baby you'll be holding if you wait just a bit - maybe it'll help!

I would talk you out of it... but I would be no help. I had sex two days after my D&C and prayed I GOT pregnant
Seriously though..... if getting PG would worry you...then it's best to wait and not have to stress if you did get PG.

All I have to say is do what feels right in your heart. Only you can make that chose. I was told to wait at least 1 cycle after both of my m/c but we started trying right away but thats what felt right to us. I feel like the second m/c was because I didnt wait long enough. We are here no matter what you chose to do.

I know I need to wait, but I just don't want to. My discharge is increasing and getting thicker, and it makes me just want to do it this weekend, to attempt a pregnancy, but I just had surgery less than 2 weeks ago, and the last time I became pregnant right after surgery, I miscarried. But now my doctor is telling me that my endo probably had something to do with that miscarriage, but at the same time, I can't help but think that it was getting pregnant so soon after surgery.
I just want to be pregnant and have another baby so badly. I have no clue what to do, but cry.

 Brandi!
That is such a tough position to be in. I too was told to wait one cycle after my D&C and even though it was soooooo tough (I had waited 10 years to get pregnant again, and when I lost that baby due to m/c, I wanted to try again immediately), I ultimately decided to wait that 1 cycle. I knew, like you, that if I had another m/c because I didn't wait long enough to let my body fully heal, that I could never forgive myself.
But Brandi, that's me. You have to do what feels right to you. I have heard of tons of girls that got pregnant right away after surgeries and went on to have healthy, sticky beans. g/l making the right decision for you!

My surgery was a diagnostic laparoscopy. The other surgery was a cyst removal, could them being so different affect whether I could carry or not? The cyst removal was what I miscarried after.

What does a diagnostic laparascopy entail honey? Did they remove any tissue, or did they just "look"? If all they did was just "look" then I would think that you would be fine, because all you have to heal from is the incisions.
 If you're really that worried then don't do it.
But, you could always try and see what happens.

I have three incisions; my belly button, my left side and just below my belly button. All they did was put a small flashlight in one incision, and a mircoscope in the other and manipulated my uterus to look around it. Would I be fine? Cuz I caved and had sex about an hour ago and my discharge is now egg white and extremely thick.

According to my calculations, I don't officially O until Sunday, but chances are, I'd probably conceive this weekend even if I only did it tonight.
I feel so guilty for caving, but I also feel a huge stone lifted off my shoulder. I hate the stress

Just don't focus and think about it over the next two weeks, or it won't happen.

Anytime I've tried and focused, it's never happened, but whenever I've tried and not focused, it's happened.
