Pregnancy---talk me out of it!!!!
I am 31, and have had four unexplained miscarriages between ages 25-30. I told DH I wouldn't start trying before Sept when I'll be one year out. My info packet says to wait year and half to GET pregnant. My baby logic says there's no telling how long it will take me to get pregnant (even though it never took too long before) so I will probably be pregnant around 14-18 months out anyway, even I start trying in Sept at 12 months out...phew! What do I do? I've never heard an explanation as to why I SHOULD wait, just that I should. Even Sept seems so far away esp according to DH :o)
The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self.Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life. ~D.W.

I know first hand how devastating miscarriages are and would hate for you to go through another one. Why not go to a infertility specialist and see if they cant come up with a reason why you had them in the past so to maybe prevent them in the future. It could be something as simple as you need more folic acid or an incompetent cervix.
Good luck

Thanks for your post. Throughout my TTC journey and miscarriages I have been to feritility specialists and have EVERy test/work up imaginable (egg quality, uterus shape and texture, blood disorders, tube tests, etc) . DH had been tested too and ALL of our tests came out normal. In the end all they could say was unexplained...

A fetus is basically a parasite and it will suck every nutrient out of you, leaving you with many micronutrient deficiencies. The baby will more than likely be fine. You??? Not so much.
Hard to take care of a newborn when you are healthy, much less in a micronutrient deficient state.
Wait.

Her doctor (RNY doc) told her the malabsorption continues in the intestines until at least 18 months, and it just isn't optimal to try to have a baby at that time between surgery and the 18 months after. You want your baby to have the best chance at being healthy and you want to enjoy that baby. Having a kid is HARD when you are feeling GREAT....the sleep deprivation, the tiredness, etc....I can imagine it would only be harder post surgery, so early.
