So DH doesn't want me to take the MAP

I think he's psychotic.  I mean, I meant what I said last night and I do *wish* I could get pregnant now.  But it just isn't smart at all.  He said "well I wish you'd told me all this before I quit my job!" lol

We're going to talk about it again tonight.  He's torn too.  But we're 95% sure that he knocked me up last night.  It's weird.

    Yikes! When do you have to take it for it to be effective?

    I am such a nerd--I read your title as "Measures of Academic Progress" MAP.  Anywho...

    How long do you have to take the morning after pill?  I'm assuming more than the morning after--48 hours?  Are the job prospects good for DH?  It almost sounds like you want to be pregnant, except for the job situation.

    Within 72 hours but the sooner the better.  The clinic isn't open until tomorrow so I have to wait until then anyway.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to go.  It would be totally irresponsible to get pregnant now.  Being a grown-up means you can't always get what you want I guess.

    If it makes you feel any better...there is only a 20% chance of pregnancy on any given cycle if you have sex during your fertile period. So of course there is always a chance, but probably not as big as you think. Good luck with whatever you decide, that's a tough one!

    It's not just the job situation.  I just started working full time, I'm a part time law student, etc.  I'm already totally overwhelmed.  The problem is that we planned to wait 5 years for any more, but as I've told DH if I have to wait 5 years I don't think I will want any more kids.  DH definitely does though.  So basically if J isn't going to be an only child the time is now.  He keeps telling me that a May baby is perfect and I won't be in school over the summer... uh, yeah OK DH.

    That stinks.....I feel for you.  Sounds like if DH had a job you'd be happy.

    Oh, boy...
    It's always hard when one person feels strongly about something while the other feels strongly about something in the other direction.
    I think it's smart that you are thinking about the "now" and not chancing anything with a new pregnancy with your DH's job situation.
    I have friends that have taken the MAP, and they were very grateful they did.
    Either way, GL with what you two decide.

    You sound 95% sure you don't want another now. That's tough but like you said you have a lot on your plate right now. Why does it have to be 5 years in between and not say 3 or 4 years? Or at least until DH is stable in a new job?

    Because I just started law school part time and the plan was to wait until a year after I start working as a lawyer (5 years).

    Good luck, that's tough. We timed this pregnancy around DH's law school schedule too.
