[quote=Anonymous]Hey OP -- there's two things I sense that you're asking here: should I take this job, and is IVF too stressful to handle when you're transitioning into a new position.

I'm going against the other posters: I can't tell you about whether you should take this job, but I can say that IVF can absolutely be handled when you have a stressful job. You'll have bloodwork and a quick ultrasound in the early morning, and you'll have a couple of days you'll need to be out of the office entirely (retrieval and transfer 2 to 5 days after retrieval.) I managed it and I'm single and have a pretty stressful job (I work till 9 and 10 some nights), and I'm by no means some kind of hyper-organized Superwoman. I personally found the effects on my body much easier to deal with than when I was taking Clomid.

Much like getting pregnant any other way, it's impossible for most people to build perfect circumstances for IVF. So I wouldn't even worry about that, and just focus on whether you want the job or not or whether you personally want to deal with IVF and a new position. You CAN do it, I have no doubt; it's just a matter of whether you want to.

And I agree with one of the PP's who said don't tell them about the IVF. That's not their business.  [/quote]
