I would have voted for 2 of the 4. I am currently a SAHM but........... I was working part time at a hotel and from the house. So...... Financially, I'd love to be a sahm but I also feel it would be great to work part time so dd can interact with other kiddos. Or....... maybe my business will come back again:) I ran a dayhome but wasn't running it much the past couple of years. I also miss having my own money and I like contrubuting to the household. If I do go back to work, it will be evenings and weekends.
married since 1996. '98 went to first ob and given clomid and written off at the door. '99 went to second ob and he did a lap and said if we weren't pg in 6 months referral to RFP. '00 went to RFP and re said she couldn't explain why we couldn't get pg but didn't investigate ether. '03 natural bfp and had m/c at 12 weeks. '04 went to another ob who was an re. he did iui, testing. '05 iui with letrazole-bfn. '06 iui and clomid and cancelled cycle and went in for surgery. Lap and hysteroscopy. did iui and injections and bfn. Referred to RFP again because re got us as far as he could and re said I had high fsh, lh and pof and pcos and endo, also suggested egg donation. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have dd. went to RFP and were told ivf was not a good idea because I respond poorly to meds. ok, let's move onto d/e. Couldn't do d/e until we had a failed cycle under out belts with my eggs. '07 did ivf with my eggs, retrived 3 and 1 made it to transfer- chemical. So moved onto d/e. '09 went back to RFP again for the orientation and consult for d/e and cycled in April '09- 13 eggs retrieved and 4 made it to day 3. Two transferred and bgp with dd. Dd born on 01/01/10!!!! Were crown the New Years Baby!!!! '14 came back for consult and did fet in Nov which was a bfn sad.png we're out of embies and options. Meet re/ob in '15 to discuss options. Considering adoption.

I am self employed and had to go back. I go 3 days a week, and am enjoying the balance. I get to be with her for 4 days and work three, and i work tues-thurs, so have long weekends :-) I dream of staying home. I am sad that I cant be with her. I think if the next ivf works and we are lucky enough to have 2 little monkeys, then I will stay home. I would prob try and stay somewhat involved with my business and if it didnt work, I would sell. I spent years and tears and sweat to build my business to what it is today, and I would trade it for poopy diapers anyday! I love being there every second. I recently have been off for a month due to my probs with last IVF, and hubby off for 2 months holiday, so we both home with her, and its amazing. We were there to see her start her first crawling!! These couple weeks made me sad and wonder what I miss when shes in care :-(

Sorry for the rambling :-)

I don't fit either catagories really either. I'm unemployed (again) and if finaces wern't an issue I'd be a sahm. However, I am looking for a job outside the house and will have to put dd back in childcare or trying to get my dayhome up and running. The ideal if I could get some customers back in the dayhome and be at homw with dd.

I work part time, three short days a week. I was off for three years with the twins, and now that I am expecting number four, I will probably only take six months or so off. If finances were not a worry, I would still work, as I love working. I would probably just have the kids in daycare so I didnt have to work opposite shifts from my dh.

If finances weren't a question I'd work part time, but then again I am terrified of being a woman with no pension, etc, so I work. Because I want to be able to have fun with my grandchildren too, one day! :)
