So, today my boss called me excitedly (I am working from home) to let me know they have found someone willing to take my place at the end of May. She was happy and wanted me to know that I will be able to finish by the end of May, the date I was aiming for.
I should be estatic. Instead I am a little bit nervous (ok maybe a lot nervous). What if I don't find a less demanding job, what if a less demanding job actually provides less flexibility for fertility treatments, what if I am unemployed for a while and we struggle financially. What if, What if, What if.
When I think about it logically, I know that I have done the right thing. I know that there are real problems at my office and even if I do the exact same thing somewhere else, it will be a better envrionment. I also know that I will not be out of work, I have options, I just have to decide what I want to do.
But change is never easy. Even when it is right, even when it is what you really want, change has a way of making a girl very insecure. Right now, I just have to cling to the knowledge that by the end of June I will konw that this was the right move.
On a positive front, I have also made contact with a new fertility clinic. It seems to have good statistics and I love the fact that they are diagnosis oriented and believe in a wholistic approach (have a counsellor and a nutritionist on staff). You are assigned a doctor and you see that doctor every time you go (no substitution). And there is someone available to answer your questions 24/7. So, check them out, and tell me what you think. Be honest, I want to go to my first consultation with well researched questions about my health and their clinic. Here's the link

The clinic looks really good. There website is simple but gives just enough information. They look like they really try to find answers. When is your first appt?
I hope that you are able to find a job that doesn't have as much stress, gives you flexibility with treatments, and that you really like.
Hi Krista,
Thanks for de-lurking on my blog.
I like the site of the new reproductive center. The one I use also advertises a nutritionist and counseling service on staff, but the counselor isn't on site and is, in fact, a 45 minute commute to her office. Make sure the nutrionist and counselor are either employed in the building, or at least nearby.
Change is always difficult, whether it is for better and especially for worse. Good luck!
I do not think I have ever made a change without some second guessing or concern. You're human and I think that shows wisdom to be cautious. You have a lot at stake. I am sure that you wouldn't make a foolish move. Trust yourself and think about all of the time change has worked in your favor. Hope the new clinic is better for you.
Wow! That clinic sounds fabulous... I wish we had something like that here in B.C.!
Hi. I just found your blog. I hope that you will find a job that is less stressful and give you flexibility...this will make the treatments more managable.
The new clinic sounds wonderful. I hope you will like it!
