Ttc or wait? Potentially fractured bone in foot.

It's that time of the month this week when I should be ttc :) but a few days ago I fell on stairs and twisted ankle. Went to A&E next day as couldn't walk on foot. I was xrayed but results not clear so got a boot and going back for check up at fracture clinic on Monday.
Probably daft but I feel really stressed, me and DH have been talking about ttc for ages but every month something comes up at the crucial time! Have been off pill since April and no joy ! I'm 38 so feel time is ticking by :(
Also feel guilty as we have a gorgeous child already who is 3 and totally wonderful. Feel greedy for hankering for another, and feel terrified if I have a child who has something wrong with it as I am at an age where this is more of a risk. Plus it's going to be bloody hard looking after a preschooler when I've got a foot in a boot, let alone if it takes ages to heal and I get pregnant!
Has anyone been in this sort of situation? Life feels rather overwhelming and a bit tricky at the moment.

I was in this situation. we decided to try anyway but I only got pregnant around 3 months after the accident.
still affected the healing, though...

Thank you mousmous. Did being pg slow down the bone healing? I've read somewhere that it could do but wasn't sure if this was true.
