I am getting married in 24 days and will be going on my honeymoon to Mexico just a few days afterwards. I know this is a Zika-affected area. When we booked our honeymoon, I didn't know I may have significant fertility issues in the impending future. Since then, I have had two surgeries on my reproductive system and have lost a Fallopian tube in hopes of keeping that ovary. We are 30 years old and have known each other since we were 11. We own a home together and are very well established in our careers... we did everything the way we wanted it to. Now, we're feeling sad and discouraged. We want children so badly and we were planning on TTC pretty much right away; my doctor has already mentioned IVF and anticipates it might be difficult.
Anyway. I don't want to cancel our honeymoon. Also-- just to call this out-- I would never risk it and TTC before the CDC guidelines of 6 months... totally not what I'm asking. I'm wondering if I would have a case to ask for a Zika blood test (for us both) so I can TTC sooner. Is that a possibility? Is the test accurate? Am I a bad person for wanting that?
It seems like a simple blood test but the CDC website just says you should wait and not to take away tests from those that really need it (showing symptoms, are already pregnant, etc etc). I know 6 months isn't long but I can start infertility treatments (Clomid) as soon as 6 months without success because of my situation.
