even when I clicked on the link....but I have received such conflicting advice from doctors about how long to wait I just decided to do it when we were ready. One doctor told me to wait 6 months to a year, a nurse in the same hospital said to wait 2 cycles and my MW said to just wait until we were past the 6 week mark.
