[quote=Anonymous]Have been TTC for a year. One MC, one chemical. Recently got offered a job (lateral move, so no pay raise) that presents some exciting challenges for my work. It also involves a longer commute. I am going through the paperwork process now after accepting and feel like maybe I made a mistake. I accepted at the start of a cycle, and was thinking that I'd never get pregnant, and now am in the 2WW and have those feelings of hopefulness again. I could totally have a kid with this new job -- it just wasn't what I pictured when I accepted. I had told myself we'd keep trying naturally, and see, but not do any IUI or anything for several months to give me a chance to settle into the routine. I guess I am just getting cold feet.

I really really believe in the Lean In philosophy of work hard until your water breaks. I think it presents unique challenges, though, when you've been TTC for a while. Hard to keep leaning! But at the same time, I am so glad that I didn't lean out over a year ago! I'd be way behind, for nothing.

Just wanted to vent/share. Would love to hear others' stories and perspectives.[/quote]
