[quote=Anonymous]it all depends on how you look for the job, and what sacrifices you are making. I'm "leaning out" of a stressful job into a government job that won't call me at 3am weeks on end. My current job is contributing to bad sleep, high blood pressure, and general stress, which likely contributed to my miscarriage earlier this year. I'm trading an ok salary and some stock options for regular hours, a nice boss, a fantastic commute, interesting but not stressful work, a 13% raise, and no stock options. Even if I can't successfully get and stay pregnant, the benefits of increase in the quality of my life are more than worth it. Don't lean out if you're making *sacrifices* in anticipation of something that might not happen. Totally give yourself permission to look for/take advantage of opportunities that increase your general quality of life and happiness. I can't imagine that being ragingly unhappy for half of your waking life helps fertility. [/quote]
