On July 17th I have an appt. for vein stripping on my right leg. I will be awake for the procedure, but of course my entire leg will be anasthetized(is that the right word?)
Anyway...my question is: In such a case would you try to avoid pregnancy this one month? I mean, dh and I have been praying for a child for 2 years now and giving it every effort with no pregnancy so far, so the chances don't really look good for one now anyway. BUT...Dh has vacation and is really starting to relax and rejuvenate...well...I actually think this is the ideal month! It is unbelievable how hopeful I become every month.
I seem to remember that someone posted a similar question at one time, but I couldn't find it. I know that dh and I must prayerfully decide this, but I would really be thankful for other thoughts on this topic.
I guess I am asking if it would be irresponsible to let nature take its course.

Is there a pregnancy test for right after conception?

Stephanie,

Unless the doctor says no pelvic rest and/or you're on meds that perhaps not be good to take while trying to conceive, I would go for it, also.

I understand the monthly hopefulness!

Irresponsible to let nature take its course? I don't think so. In fact, that's how we got pregnant! We pretty much we're sure it wasn't going to happen.

I don't know of any pregnancy test after conception that is readily available...some fertility doctors may have something. A blood test can be used earlier than a urine test.

Thanks Jenn for your thoughts.
I am not taking any meds right now, it is only the meds during the operation that I am concerned about. I will ask the doctor about the drugs possible effects...

What makes this extra difficult is that it looks like the OP date is set for right after ovulation. I have to have the procedure done during dh's vacation, so that he can be with the girls. There is never a good time for an OP.
