I need to keep focusing on that and not on all of the bad stuff that can happen.

Your R.E. *is* trying to get you pg, and recommending surgery that was likely to result in a hysterectomy wouldn't help his success rates any, so I doubt he'd recommend it unless the risk were minimal.<BR/><BR/>I always ask myself, "Do I feel lucky?" when faced with those risks. For example, if I entered a lottery and the odds of winning were 1 in 1,000, I wouldn't expect to win. So, if I have surgery and the risk of a certain bad outcome happening are 1 in 1,000, I shouldn't expect that bad outcome to happen. So, it's probably a justifiable risk to take. I know it's easier to believe you can be unlucky than that you can be lucky, but actually, the math is the same. Math is not emotional. Anyway, that's my annoyingly mathematical way of trying to rationalize such things.<BR/><BR/>And having sympathetic doctor friends to be a sounding board... so helpful.
