Possum magic - congrats on your good news (both HCG levels and new job)! you are a few steps closer to getting pregnant again As for your work dilemma - i'm a believer that you shouldn't put your life on hold while TTC (within reason of course).... fate would have it that if you do you won't get pregnant for years!! I'm pretty sure it's not healthy for your mental health if TTC is the only/main thing in your life .... we obsess about it enough already! life goes on, and there is really no convenient time to get pregnant is there? it's always going to be difficult to take time off work. i understand about taking a new job though as i took a new job only a few months before starting to TTC... as it turns out i shouldn't have worried as it's been some time now. I have just last week decided to book a month long holiday with hubby in January travelling around america... i was putting it off cos i kept hoping i would be (heavily) pregnant by then but that's not going to happen... and if i do end up with a BFP before we leave well i'll deal with it then.

I am still over a week away from Oing and it's killing me... having a longer cycle (35 days) sucks !!! I just hope that i at least O this month so we're in with a shot. i've been trying to think positive thoughts and do some relaxation and keep busy.... if only to keep sane. i'm also starting to wonder how much stress affects your ability to conceive? what does everyone think?
