I work at a University in a management role (full-time) and we are moving to a new campus May/June next year and I really need to be at work for the transition and for a month or two after we reopen. I really wanted to take 12 weeks off, then return 4 days a week for the next 16 months. Our maternity leave package allows me to do that while getting full pay as we have a 26 week full pay maternity leave that you can take in a few different options. If I get AF this weekend, I am unsure if I should TTC next month...if I do I will only be able to take 8 weeks off and then 19 months at 4 days per week. But that will be my last attempt until about November!!

I don't know if I should just skip next attempt and wait until Nov or give it a go? My job is fantastic and has so many perks (free dental treatment for my family, 5 weeks paid holidays per year, 10 sick days and 5 family leave days per year, 24% super, 2 pay rises per year) but it sucks that I may have to postpone extending my family due to work!!

That does sound like an awesome job pop, and thats a hard decision to make. Only you know what will work out best for you and your family. Hopefully you are UTD already.

POP, I think only you can decide what is best for you and your family. Will you have to wait to try again until November because of work? What does your DH think? I hope you are pregnant now so you don't even have to worry about it all.

Cinss, those comments about relaxing and letting it 'just happen' really get me angry. I know they come from niave people who have either never been tried to become pregnant or fallen pregnant within a month or so, but I get so frustrated at them. And it's not even for me that I feel frustrated it is for my friends irl and on here that have been trying for so long. Ahh well what can you do?

Lola, yeah we are doing SMEP. But we will have DTD 4 days in a row instead of three like the SMEP says. Check out my chart and you'll see what I mean. Not that that's a bad thing. That's really cool that you take the girls swimming after after your workout. How do you get time?! You work full time don't you?

Skrimpy, I think I if I O before the trigger then the trigger will possibly make me O again providing there is another mature follicle. Some people say that the trigger can override the natural LH surge though so I'm not 100% sure what will happen! Either way I will O so that's the main thing. Yay for selling the house! Must be a weight off your shoulders. BTW, I'm doing tuplers and they are really helping. I have gone from a 2 finger gap in the middle to a one finger gap in 3 1/2 weeks. Just thought I would let you know Lola, get on them, they work!

It sounds like you have a great job PoP. Only you can decide what is more important. The way you explain it though its really only a matter of 4 weeks that you will lose though right? taking 8 weeks off up front as opposed to 12?

POP, you are such a tease by not temping this morning :P Was looking forward to your temps...imo you are already utd, but, it's totally up to you...your job does sound so kickass, I wish mine had that many days off and that many benefits, but it is a lot better than where I used to work!

yay for selling your house so quickly skrimpy!

and hello to everyone else!

I'm wearing this really weird maternity shirt i bought online today that is loose up top by my boobs but really tight? (around the stomach) and it's so loose up top it keeps falling off my shoulder but it is literally squeezing the baby on the stomach! Bleh, I had mixed feellings about it as I walked out the door this morning, but was in a rush! Now I'm feeling weird, like I'm putting baby on display wayyyy too much and the whole loose up top thing but not loose where I need it is driving me nuts! Can't wait till today is over at work just so I can get out of this contracption!
