Since my first smear eight years ago I've always had problems with mild abnormalities. I found out the other day (at what I thought was a routine colcoscopy) that if I want any more children (I have one), I need to have them now. I've been told that a lagre part of my cervix needs to be removed asap, making it very difficult to conceive and virtually impossible to carry a baby full term (to the point where it was be a serious risk to the baby).
We're totally shell shocked. I'm waiting for results which will come in about three weeks to decide if I need to have this done immediately (I'm hoping not and the doctor thought this was less likely), but he said regardless, I need to have any more children I want asap as I need to have the treatment as soon possible. He said this would mean I need to have any children we want in the next two years.
We do want more children and, assuming that the results allow, we will start trying straight away. I'm aware there is a ticking clock though. I've come off the pill and I'm waiting until I have the results but if they allow, we'll be trying straight away. As I said, we have one child (aged seven) but he was a 'happy surprise' so I'm a bit clueless!
MY QUESTIONS:
Are there any good links/ tips for quickest ways to conceive?
Should I start taking any supplements?
Is it damaging to have two babies very close together?
Basically, if we want more then one child (which we think we would), we would have to have one and then almost immediately begin trying for another- that's assuming we fall quickly with the first and have time to).
Any advice would be really gratefully received, my head is all over the place at the moment. Thanks.
