First of all, congratulations on all the great things that are happening!
What about having a drug-free period for when you are trying to get pregnant, and also during the first few months of pregnancy? During that time, you could have maintenance TMS if you needed it, and that would probably tend to lower any anxiety you were having. You may well find that the hormone changes of pregnancy give you a sense of well-being.
If you did need medication later in your pregnancy, it would be safer then. The other thing to think of, though, is nursing. That is such a wonderful experience, but I think even the Category C medications are considered contra-indications for it.
