is it a good idea to work during TTC

Hi,

you know i still trying to get an answer to that question myself

life with job can be too overwhelming at times..i can understand ur situation

i too had 3 failed IUIs...but my personal openion is that u just need to take it easy with the job rather than quitting altogether

i have had phase of having too much and too little work but it didn't help. the times i took complete rest i got so hopeful that it added its own stress.

just take it easy. sick leaves can always be taken. give ur health and these efforts more priority and that's it. don't quit, it may add to your worries

once u succeed , u can happily quit and enjoy ur pregnancy

i am still ttc ..but have abandoned al treatments for sometime...

which doc did u go to in pune?

all the best

 

u can do part time jobs na so that u get enough time to take rest also..Otherwise if u r financially ok then quit the job bcos career is nothing when compared to motherhood....all the best..gd luck

 

I feel working while TTC, though demanding can be a blessing in disguise.
To some extent, it will take your mind off TTC, compared to being at home and worrying about it all the time.
This has been my personal experience.

 

I have had 12 failed iuis and i failed icsi, i hv no support system and need to work as there are a few financial obligations ... but thinking of my work now is that it is a blessing else wht wud i do sitting at home n think of all the failed cycles!!! that wud be a night mare for me ... in fact after my failed icsi i have not opted for work from home option even for a day

Ofcourse during the icsi cycle my husband took 2 week off and so did I and my husband cooked though not one of the best cooks he smhow managed ... at times i think i really do not know if I wud be able to take up another cycle given the situation .... and believe me I ask God almost in my every day prayer ... "for ppl like me who need to manage things on their own, is asking for just 1 LO considered as asking for too much as per your laws"
so my exp says the job does god help in the TTC period, it takes you mind a lil off

and the base line is when the time is ripe.... something works iui, ivf, ic or even an least expected IC with just pre ej soln wud click ... so guess patience is the key word

 

Hi Vini ,xiaojie

I'am a working women too and yes it is really hard to manage both . If you have a manager you can take into confidence try that ... else make up some story that someone in you fmaily is sick and work from home or something.. Quitting is a difficult esp if you have always worked ,i tried it for a year and i think it made me crazier i was picking fights with my husband since i couldnt take of my frustration on anyone else. try and hire a cook/maid for 2 weeks when u need the rest the most and once pregnancy is confirmed you can always take your boss into confidence and work from home or something.Hope you make up your mind sooner . Good luck

 

niru..u're right...it's so easy to pick up fights in that phase and..it's bessing if u can keep ur mind off

and yes...correctly said...patience is the key

i have tried all...taking it easy...working under extreme pressure..taking time off from work ...moving abroad and breathing fresh air(free of dust) and living with less noise around....i tried that bai cooking option too

it's all a matter of patience...u need to wait for the right time...and it can click anytime anywhere in any condition

am just waiting for my right time...having a nice loving husband is the best gift u may have ...i turn 32 next week and am just wondering if i am getting too old ...


lots a luck to all
