Would you go back to school while TTC?

So yesterday when  I was at my dad's angiogram I had this overwhelming feeling that I needed to go back to school to be a nurse...or something in healthcare. This happens to me everytime I go into a hospital. I'm weird and like hospitals and always feel it's where I need to be.  It's been going on for years. DH and I talked and he said if it's something I really want to do we can make it work, it would be about 2-3 years since I need to take some core classes before applying for nursing school. Would you go back to school if TTC?  We thought that if I'm not KU this cycle and the lap comes back normal so we really truly have unexplained IF then maybe it's a sign for me to go back to school while we continue to try naturally.  I'm on DH insurance and he has a very, very good job and can support us so I'm not being horribly irrisponsible since being a SAHM is something we discuss too. Or maybe there is another healthcare career I can look into without having to do ny or too much schooling. Hmmmmm!!

    I would. I have been thinking about it for a while, actually. If it wouldn't put you in a financial fix, then I say go for it!

    I work full time and I've also been completing a master's degree while we've been TTC. I think that if you can afford to not work and just focus on school it would be totally fine to do while TTC. GL!

    It wouldn't be easy, it would be tight and we'd have to make some changes but it's only for a few years right?

    I say yes...

    And if for some reason you do end up KU you'll still be that much closer to your goal of becoming a nurse...

    If it was school instead of a job maybe.  There is no way I'd be able to do both on top of dealing with IF.

    I would.  I only have 2 classes left for school and I keep putting them off because they have a heavy workload and I'd have to be bent over a drafting table for hours at a time.  I keep telling myself that if I get KU theres no way I can complete the courses with a bump, but I think I'm going back in the fall if I haven't gotten my BFP.

    I travel for my job so school and working it not an option or I'd do it. I would miss too many classes since I'm gone a few nights a month, sometimes a week at a time. Otherwise I'd do both. We'd stop IF treatments and continue to try naturally while I did acupuncure and some chinese medicine but that would be it. No drugs, IUI or IVF etc.

    Yes, and it might actually be a good distraction from TTC.

    Go for it, I started back this past fall and I have always enjoyed school, so this is not a stressor for me but more of a hobby of sorts and it keeps my mind off of it.  I had an English class this fall and I wrote a lot about my infertility and it was a nice way to vent.
