do you think NIFR stress is worth planning your cycle around?

I'm about to do a frozen cycle next month, transferring in early Feb.  Jan is a particularly stressful month work wise, but I don't want to wait because I'm feeling like there's always something going on, so why delay cycling any more than I have to.   I promised my therapist I would be religious about stress relief if I cycle now... walks, meditation, yoga.  

I hope I'm not being stupid about the timing of this.

    It is a personal decision.  I made the mistake of not postponing my last fresh cycle while I was crazy busy with work.  All of my attempts at stress relief didn't help.  The cycle was a big failure and I can't help but wonder if it would have worked better if things had not been so stressful.  So, my next cycle will happen at a time where things aren't so bad or where I can get additional assistance at work.

    Good luck with your decision and with your FET!
