TTC After a Loss

New to loss boards *TW child loss*

Hello all. I hope this is an appropriate place to post. DH and I aren’t technically TTC yet, we are NTNP until an appointment with my MFM later this month.
My backstory:
DS was born June 2017 with an unknown genetic disorder that caused a myriad of birth defects. He spent 4 months in the NICU, then another 3 months in the PICU recovering from heart surgery. He had been fairly stable at home since April, but he unexpectedly died this past August from complications of heart disease.
I would like to start trying for another child ASAP, but I want to meet with my MFM to discuss what monitoring I would need. Since we don’t know what caused DS’s issues, the geneticist’s advice is to try again naturally and hope it doesn’t happen again. I’ve also gained a lot of weight the past two years of dealing with all this stress, so I need to start focusing on my health again.
I hope to get to know all of you on this journey, wherever it may lead us ❤️
