while im not a LTTC-er, i have difficulties with pregnancy that requires bed rest for 3/4 of my pregnancy....
im like you, horrified at the thought of falling pregnant now, it terrifies me BUT i think taking the consideration the fertitlity side of things, as someone else mentioned id start trying when u would get the minimum gap you would be happy with.
It took me 12 months to conceive DS1 after a MC, I always wanted a close age gap so when AF turned up when DS1 was 6 months old we decided to see how my cycle was for a couple of months so we knew when to TTC, I anticipated it would take ages and I would be a crazy POAS psyco again as well as temping but I didn't need to as we fell preg the first month we tryed! This did freak me out as I think mentally as much as I thought close would be nice I didn't expect it to happen!!! My boys are 18 months and 4 days apart and its fantastic!
Good luck its hard call when there as so many medical issues involved but you do need to ensure your mental health is going to be ok if you were to conceive earlier than you originally planned as 2 young and in nappies is hard work!
