TTC with possible Gallbladder problems

[Soexciting]

Since I had my first baby 1 year ago, I have been having intermittent stomach pains. I thought it was indigestion from lockdown overindulgence but the pains are becoming more frequent and more severe. I believe that I have gallstones and am waiting for a referral for a scan.
It seems a no brainer to stop trying for a while until the cause is resolved/gallstones dealt with especially if it requires surgery. So why do I feel so conflicted about it. It's my fertile window and I am so tempted just to jump DH. Not because I think I will get pregnant this month but because I want another months trying under my belt so actually conceiving is closer. I don't want a pause to cause a delay.

Anyone gone through similar?

Not myself as such but I had my gallbladder removed a year ago and am on groups with other people that have issues or had recent surgery and the women that are pregnant with gallstones are thoroughly miserable. Needing a virtually fat free diet when heavily pregnant sucks, the amount of painkillers they can give are less, the baby can kick the gallbladder in the wrong way and trigger an attack and then having to leave your baby for the surgery.
Gallstones can get bad fast! I was misdiagnosed for 13 years with a few big attacks and nothing for ages. Then bam! I had an attack last June and didn't stop having them and had pain and felt sick all the time until surgery. Couldn't imagine not being allowed to have surgery and I would hate being pregnant and having gallstones.
Good luck whatever you guys decide though

Please get the gallbladder sorted first.

A cousin of mine lost twins in her third trimester when her gallbladder problems became acute. Utter disaster.

@mathanxiety and @Fairygodmotherplease thank you so much for replying. We have decided to take a break from TTC which is devastating but the right decision. A decision your insights made easier so thank you very much.

Best wishes - if it's any consolation, if it turns out to be gallstones, once you've had your operation you'll feel great as soon as the physical recovery is over. Give yourself about 6 weeks and you can start trying again. Hope you'll get an operation date soon if gallstones are confirmed.
