[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,

From what you've described, you can afford not to take this job.  If that's the case, I say don't (though if these were different circumstances I would say go for the job if it's what you want).  I actually went from a very stressful role at my company to a less stressful, very flexible role at the company, and I absolutely believe it was a big part of why I got pregnant.

IVF can be stressful.  There's monitoring daily but then also the retrieval to think about.  I didn't know the exact day of my retrieval until the day before, and then I was out for two days.  Fortunately I was in a position at work where I could take two unplanned days off without issue, but will that be possible in your new job?  And of course, there's transfer and you may not know the timing of that until a day before.  My RE said a full day of bedrest which I took, but again, I was in a job that was very flexible.  It was no big deal for me to take the day off.

You're facing a tough choice, but if the job can wait, then I say don't take it.  Regardless, best of luck to you!  [/quote]
