Good luck tomorrow 5. What's one more kid when you already have 5 lol

Headaches much better now but I do feel a bit moody and slightly more aggressive.

I have a job interview on Monday for a promotion in my workplace. I am so torn. It's more money and more room for advancing further in my career. But it means more responsibility, checking emails and taking calls during family time and possibly having to work longer hours on days when I can't get staff to cover shifts. In the long term it's great for me. But my current job I can work 7am -3pm and just walk out and go home, not thinking about work until the next morning. It won't matter so much or look bad if I keep trying and fall pregnant at a time not so convenient for my workplace. The interviews are slightly rigged as our big boss wants me in the role. The hard choice women face....career or family.

Thats definitely a hard decision. I work until 5:30 at night and I hate it by the time I leave work pick up the kids and bring them home get them fed and give baths its time for bed and I only have two right now. But my husband works until 12am 4 days a week so I am a single mother those days, if he had normal hours it wouldn't be so bad.

Are you going to try the SMEP plan this time around? Hopefully the soy helps

POP, I just want to say you are such an inspiration

I love that you have a career and a LOT of kids. I still long in my heart to have 4, and I am a career woman myself, with the sole income in the house (hubby is SAHD) and a lot of ppl think its crazy that I would want a 4th eventually because I "work"....I get so tired of the concept that if you work full time, ppl think you should only have two kids. It's such BS!

About the promotion, that's a toughie....more money is good, but more responsbility, as far as checking things when you're "off-duty" definitely tricky....the best perk about it is changing into a higher position won't restrict you from TTC'ing your heart out...what is your heart telling you is best?

Pop, good luck with your decision! More money and more freedom to TTC sounds tempting.

Babyblessings how are you going? Are you charting on FF, have you done all of your attempts? I am HSO today and watery CM so i think i will O tomorrow, i have 1st attempt in this morning.

Bec any news?

TTC5 so your test came back pretty good?

Pop and Lola what are you up to?

[TTC5]

Cinss yes better than we thought anyway! Only .3 in to the "impaired" range so midwife is happy to monitor for now and follow a low GI diet and see if it brings it down a little and FX it does not rise!!

[Princess of Pink]

Congrats Cinss that is excellent!!

I am on my last day of Soy today...hopefully it helps bring my O closer...insane to have to wait 3-4 weeks from AF. I sooooo need to fall pregnant this cycle, but I just feel like it's never going to happen.

Dloui I know how you feel totally....my DH works away so I am a single mother most of the time. He is able to come back for our attempts it is just really hard on both of us that week of attempts. Maybe one day this situation will change back to how it used to be....but I am just so used to it now!! I couldn't cope not working, my brain craves the stimulation, and no matter how exhausting it is and how I just would love to sleep in and drive the girls to school....working really completes me! I think it is giving my girls the right values in life too. Being independent, successful and working hard. Makes it all worthwhile....my 11yr old came to me last week and asked for some photo's. I asked her what of? She said "You mummy"...I was like ???? why? She said "Because I am writing a speech on my favourite inspirational person....and it's you mummy Makes all the hard work worth the effort!!
