Getting off of meds to ttc....new to group plz help!

[jya1124]

I have severe BABY FEVER. And it is NOT going anywhere fast. I have always wanted 3 kids, and I have been having a lot of problems with my woman parts....I have had cysts on my ovaries (which have shrunk 50% since June which is great) and now I have Pelvic Inflammatory Disease for the SECOND time in 5 years....WHY? I have not a clue, but I really think my csection has a lot to do with all of my issues...I have had fluid in my pelvis, cysts, now PID....I never really had that many issues since my cscection so I link the problems to that whether it's due to the emergency surgery or not...UGH. Anyhow, with all of these problems I can't help but to think that if I want to be sure to have two more kids I BETTER hurry the heck up before something worse happens. I am only 24 and I literally feel like my biological clock is ticking. I almost think I can HEAR it!!! I am so scared to go sterile if we wait too much longer that I want to have another ASAP. Well, I am on antianxiety and antidepressants too for my panic disorder so I don't know what to do. I know I need to get off of them if I am going to have another baby, but I am so scared to...it seems like a double edged sword if you know what I mean. Or maybe a catch 22....I don't know...I just know that I want another baby and I want one soon. I would love to have a boy...or another girl would be great too...

Has anyone ever had PID and how long did you wait to ttc?

Unfortunately I really don't know much about that. I would suggest going to your doctor with your dh and having a long talk with him/her and possibly even getting some referals to high risk OB doctors to figure it out. If there is a safe way for you to get off your meds, then you should be able to start tracking your cycle and TTC a girl just like the rest of us. There may be some alternative meds you can take. Try looking into some more natural meds as well. Some stores sell all natural relaxation and calmness meds so maybe that's something you can bring up to your doctor. Didn't you have to go off the meds with your other kids? If so, then you should be able to do the same again shouldn't you?

I was not on medication when I got pregnant with my daughter.

I think it depends on the drug. I'm on an antidepressant that's safe to take during pregnancy. I took it when I was pregnant with my twins and had no problems. I'd say talk to your doctor.
