I went to the doctor today for my yearly check-up, and dr. k. and I spent a lot of time talking about my fertility and trying to conceive again. I went in to the appointment with my mind made up that I would stop "trying" for a few months, which means, no fertility drugs, no temping, no checking CM, no OPKs, etc. The main reason for my decision: I have a huge project coming up at work beginning in July and most likely will run into Spring 2012. If I wait a few months to keep trying for baby #2, I won't be out on maternity leave during "huge project time."
Well, dr. k. had other plans for me and after talking for a while, she changed my mind. She basically told me I wasn't getting any younger, and there was no guarantee when we would actually conceive. After talking about my past few cycles, she said it would be best to take advantage of this time because my body was halfway cooperating, and we needed to keep on with the current meds, etc.
I left the office feeling torn between continuing TTC baby #2 that we want so desperately, and my job, which really does mean a lot to me. After talking to Doug and a couple of close girlfriends, and one of them laying down the law, we've decided to go ahead with TTC.
What happens will happen. If I do end up pregnant and on maternity in the next year, I will just have to do the best with my time in the office. Right? People have unplanned babies all the time. Things just work out. Right now, I've decided not to worry about either. We'll see what happens.
