Bulging Disk-should I put off TTC??

Aurora • Nurse, animal lover, here to build eachother up on our journeys to motherhood!

So after a week of back pain and weakness in my leg, I went to the ER. After an MRI I found out I have a bulging disk in my L5-S1 region (extreme lower spine). Neurosurgeon appointment this week. Thinking I should stop TTC Due to possibly of surgery in near future. So bummed out. Already 33 and worried that my chances of becoming a mum are slipping away. Does anyone have advice or experience with this?
