[quote=Anonymous]I have not been working this past year (at home with my daughter who is almost 4). However prior to that I did work but was restructured out.

Anyway, my DH and I have been TTC for 1.5years and just found out that we NEED IVF to get get pregnant. We are scheduled for July 2012.
However, I've been looking for work for about 5 months and JUST got an offer. The role is intense. But more like 40hours a week with 1 week every 4 weeks where I will be working until 7 to get the job done.

Anyway does it make sense to take on a job at this point? Will I be able to handle IVF and working a new role, and perhaps a demanding role? Or should I just forget about it, and give my body a break b/c it will be going through the ringer anyway? If I don't get pregnant with IVF round one, I'll continue for two more cycles before we decide this isn't the right route anymore, but irrespective I want to know what if I should even be putting myself in this place.

The other concern is, it's taken me so long to finally find a role, do I just 'pass' (which wouldn't be the end of the world to be honest b/c if DD is ment to me my only child I sort of don't want to miss this time of hers) or do I continue to search after the IVF process is behind me? [/quote]
