  I'm a surgical physician assistant at a public hospital for their cancer center. I really love it and the doctors/nurses I work with. The hours can be both forgiving and grueling depending on the surgeries scheduled for that day. Overall though with the people, pay and benefits I love it.
  With that being said... No matter how much I love it, I love being home with the babes more but unfortunately it isn't an option for us.

  I work for the federal courts and currently am the assistant operations manager for the clerk's office.  It's been a nice blend for me of my interests in teaching, history and law. 
  

  Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

  Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI.

Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left.

  I'm a technical writer for a state government agency, but my background is in libraries.  There are just so few jobs in that field anymore.  I need to find a new job as the pay is very low and the work is very mind numbing, but I have no idea what to look for.

  Thank you! It took 2weeks for my online application status to change from "submitted" to "reviewing" so I guess I will give it until Monday to call. I am so afraid that I won't be considered because I have been home for 2.5yrs.
