Hi all, I'm so worried. I habe an lletz booked in tomorrow. My partner and I are ttc, I just wondered if anyone has successfully become preflgnant after with no complications. In addition has anyone found out after that tjey were pregnant at time of treatment and it's effected the pregnancy.
I'm scared it will hurt, I'm scared they will do something wrong and make me infertile . I'm scared of everything today. I've had cancer once and I can deal with it but I can't deal with someone telling me I can never habe another child.
Sorry if this message seems mad I'm in a state of panic I think xx
