TTC after beating Stage 4 Hodgkins...

I have been given the go ahead to ttc FINALLY!! I had to wait 2 years after my final chemo treatment before I was "allowed". My husband and I are THRILLED!!! We have a daughter that is in heaven that passed away at 11 days old. Our son, Vinny, is going to be 6 this friday and he has mild cerebral palsy. We want nothing more than to give him a sibling that he can love and play with! He talks about it all the time and Jason and I have wanted more kids for a long time! I'm super new to the charting, opk and all that stuff...any help is appreciated! Thanks so much!!!

    So excited for you! I wish you the best of luck and hope you get pregnant on your first try! I am 29yo (diagnosed at 27) breast cancer survivor with a 3 year old daughter and finally trying to conceive after a little over a year of my last chemo treatment..I was given the go ahead not to long ago and actually ended up pregnant the first month trying. Unfortunately i miscarried at 4w5d. I cant help but wonder if i ended up releasing an egg  that was damaged by chemo last month and what caused me to m/c...Its def more stressful this time than it was with my daughter..There is just so much more to worry about..But im kinda in the same boat, so if you ever need a cancer survivor friend thats also ttc message me! Good luck to you and your family! Im sure your son is going to make an amazing big brother
