Thanks @char245. Now that I've had a chance to calm down and do some research, I feel a little better. You're exactly right - the news was shocking. It really didn't occur to me that I could be a carrier of something so serious. But as long as my husband is not a carrier, we should be fine. Man, things are just never easy for those of us on this board.
@40momma that sucks but I get it. DH had to use pull out method last night as I’m ovulating and don’t want to try as my surgery is less than two weeks away. Then we have to wait 6 weeks too. I keep telling myself it’s not that long but it’s at least 2 months out of process and that’s a lot when you are our age. I’m sorry. Totally sucks
@ruby696 I'm sorry about your results, hope that DH isn't a carrier. What a shock to get on top of everything else.
@40momma I hear ya, it sucks! We're on a four week ban during IVF. It isn't to avoid pregnancy for us, but more because it could traumatize my insides. It seems unfair during an already stressful time!
@40momma and @Mack2342 ugh taking a break for any reason is so frustrating!! Here’s hoping it goes by quickly!
@bakerstreetboys they haven’t said anything to me about no sex during IVF, I think they just said it had to be protected. Now im wondering if we should be avoiding all together! Ugh so many things to worry about!

Well my hip is replaced. I had surgery yesterday and am home today. Walking around pretty good with my walker. I sure feel like an old lady. But I was able to put my own sock on today, shoe and tie it! I almost cried. I haven’t been able to do that in over a year!
@char245 anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. I don’t think I will need 12 weeks as I can bear weight on my leg know. I’m getting around pretty good and will probably ditch this walker soon and go to the cane
@Mack2342 So glad the surgery went well. It sounds like you are recovering quickly! My dad had both his hips replaced in his 40s and I remember he was in bed for a while afterwards. That’s great that you are up and walking!!

I have a random question. Are any of you on seroquel by any chance? I've been on it for over a month now but AF is late but all negative HPTs. I know amenorrhea can be a side effect, so I'm curious to see if anyone else TTC has experienced this and what they did about it.
@Mack2342 great news! Glad to hear it went well. I'm sitting over here twiddling my thumbs. Normally would be in a TWW but DH can't have any sexual activity for 6 weeks (broken neck). So benched this cycle. Hoping to squeeze in next cycle but will have to see at the next dr follow up.
I just got back from my appointment with the MFM, and we are cleared to TTC! She was very reassuring that the likelihood of having a normal pregnancy is high, and that if it’s not she will take care of us every step of the way.
One of the two mutations that *potentially* caused DS’s birth defects is carried on one of my X chromosomes, so there is a possibility it could happen again if we have another boy. The key is early monitoring and testing.
Overall, it’s a relief to get the official go ahead to TTC when we’re ready to try again.

@minnek8 She is really great. I went through 4 or 5 OBs with my last pregnancy before finding her, so I was so happy to hear she was going to take me on for future pregnancies for all my care even if they are “typical.”

@SpongeWorthy I really like providers who seem to recognize a need for consistency in these times. I switched to a new OB and she sort of insists on doing a lot of my care, even though some of the stuff I could have seen anyone for. She tells me (or the scheduler), "I think this is something we should do together." Since every appointment is sort of an unknown, it is nice that she stays the same and is familiar. Hopefully everything is smooth from here on out!
