[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We planned on starting to TTC #2 this month.  We are undecided still on what to do.

I think in 8 weeks when you would have a first appt, many areas will be relaxing social distancing.  Not full on but easing in.  That may lead to more cases and it may not.  I believe after 8 wks then you go again at 12 right?  So 3 months from now.  So that’s not a lot of contact during this time where we start to navigate a path back to a new normal.  I say all this as someone who believes we aren’t going back to an old normal.  That we are in this for 6-18 months.  By the time we would need more frequent prenatal care, we would know more about what measures need to be taken in our new normal.  It’s quite possible that hospitals will be in a better place then they have been the last month, even if we have a second or third wave.  We will know more.  But absolutely, there will still be risks.

For those that recommend waiting, I’d be curious to know how long you recommend waiting for.  When do you think it would be safe again?  A full 12-18 months from now?[/quote]

I haven’t posted yet but I’m someone considering waiting. I agree with you about not going back to the new normal...this virus is here to stay until we get a vaccine. I’m only really considering waiting until summer or early fall to allow time for states to peak and our health care system to adapt accordingly. Maybe we will have a better understanding of the virus in a few months too. If we don’t get any better adapted by then, I don’t plan on sitting around waiting for answers that aren’t coming (or waiting a year+ for a vaccine). That all being said, my commitment to waiting even a few months is rather weak. I’m a few weeks away from 30 and this will be #1, fwiw. [/quote]
