Thanks so much for the shout out and thinking of me. I haven't been on much lately so I missed it when you posted that. I have missed a lot of posts from you ladies, I need to catch up!  How are things with you?

I'm doing fine, just kind of laying low, trying to figure out what to do next.  I am at the point where I can say out loud that I want to try another cycle, but it took me a little while to get there, I was feeling guilty about thinking about moving on. I can't believe that tomorrow it will only be three weeks since we found out about the miscarriage, it seems like way longer than that.

Of course, there has to be a huge monkey wrench in the plan for the near future.  Last Monday my boss was fired. For now, I still have my job and I may be safe once his replacement is hired, but I could be let go. However, I have decided it's time for me to move on either way and I have begun a preliminary search, just putting the feelers out there for right now.  The thing about this that sucks of course is that once I get a new job it will be more difficult for me do my morning monitoring, leave the office to get the IVF done, etc. I know it can be done, but it will be a hassle, and I don't want to go into my last cycle with added stress if I can avoid it.

My ideal scenario for the next 2 months would be: Get let go by my job when the new person comes in, and get a severance package.  Take the next month to look for the ideal job AND do our last cycle of IVF.  Get a BFP.  Have a really understanding boss who won't be pissed off when I need to have time off to have a baby within a year of getting the job.

I'm not asking for too much am I? 

3 years ago when we started TTC, I was looking to leave my previous job and was concerned about starting a new job and getting pregnant right away, I didn't think it was fair to my new employer.  With one insurance covered IVF cycle and 41 just around the corner, I'm way over that now. 

Thanks again for thinking of me, I hope you ladies are doing well and I will catch up on the posts in the next day or so!

Thanks for the update, glad to here that you are doing ok.  There will NEVER/EVER be an idea time to cycle, as it can literally be such a PIA.  I was worried about you after your mc, it's just so unfair when you've worked so hard to get that BFP in the first place. 

I will be praying that you can get that severance package-sneak in a cycle with rock-star sticky embries-and have and employer who understands that building your family is much more important than any job coming or going.
