Planning ahead FAIL. (kind of a vent)

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Happy Wednesday, everyone. :)  

I was just thinking about what I'm going to do if this cycle isn't the one for us. My job is set to end in Mid-July (company is moving). DH and I began TTC in October thinking it would work out okay that I wouldn't have to find another job before the baby because I plan on being a SAHM. But as the months keep going by, I am realizing that I'm probably going to have to find another job if I don't get pregnant soon and it's adding a lot of stress to TTC. I also don't want to find a job when I'm 4 months pregnant or whatever, and I only work for 4 months. It's stressing me out.

It seems like this has been a big month of BFP's so I have my fingers crossed. :)

Anyone else having a difficult time planning whether or not you will work/figuring out timing/maternity leave??

    What is that saying... "Life is what happens while you are making plans" or something to that effect.

    I am not stressin' about the details until I pregnant.  We have a basic preliminary plan but that's it.

    Yes! we just listed our condo for sale and are looking to buy a house closer to our families.. too far for me to commute on a daily basis. I would also like to be a SAHM or at least work PT.

    but if our condo sells before we get KU its going to create a lot of timing problems...

    its all so confusing to figure out and also very stressful. I am trying to keep faith that it will all work out the way it is supposed to. (this is hard for me... im a control freak! but if theres one thing ttc has taught me so far... we are not in control, so just try to enjoy the ride)

    I'm a teacher and MH and I thought we could "plan" it our perfectly so that I would have the baby in April/May and then go back to work in September.  As you can tell, we are still TTC.  At this point, we will be happy to just get a BFP and worry about working/maternity leave when the time comes.  Good luck with whatever you decide!

    YES, me too!  I've been off BCP since August and currently my husband is switching jobs. So I kinda wanted to stay put with my steady (but crappy) full time job for insurance reasons an financial reasons.  We thought for sure we would be expecting by now.  And hopefully this month will be all of our months!   GL ! !

    I'm going to be going out of town for 2 weeks in April /May, so finding a job by than and than asking for 2 weeks off would be tough.  So I plan on waiting till I get back to start job hunting again,  But if I do get pg I could be anywhere from  1 - 4 months by than.  Not sure anyone would hire me knowing that.
