Well said, thank so much

I am a teacher as well and I say go for it! My mom is a teacher too and when she decided she was ready to get pg with me she said it was about the absolute worst possible time. She had just been laid off and job prospects didn't look good but she said she just knew it was "now or never." Good luck and I hope this is the cycle for you!!!

Hello fellow teacher... I say go for it. Things will never be "perfect" and you don't want any regrets. I hope all goes well with your position. I have not heard any news of teachers in my county having to worry about their jobs, so hopefully the scare won't last too long.

What county? I am a teacher in Manatee. We had our major budget cuts last year...our salaries got cut by 1% and all 1st year teachers didn't get renewed. The funny thing is that they rehired many of the non-renewed teachers a month later! I say, go for it! Unfortunately, I have been hired after they cut out benefits. The benefits in this county cover all diagnostic for IF and up to 3 IUIs!

Go for it! Don't put it off because of something that might happen. Listen to your hubby!

I understand your anxiety. My DH just go news about his job that could change our financial situation drastically. When he told me about it one of my first thoughts & major concerns was how it could affect our fertility treatments & financial ability to start our family. We waited to long for things to , well not be perfect, but 'better' and then we realized that it wouldn't be so easy... fast forward to me being 39 & VERY upset that is trying to be responsible and thoughtfully 'plan' our family we are still struggling and facing new & more difficult challenges... sorry maybe I am rambling,
DO NOT put your family off! I mean it makes sense to have a plan but I agree with several of the other ladies, especially since the ball has NOT dropped yet, keep going forward the you don't want get down the road & realize you waited for nothing.
I really pray that God knows our plan & even if we can't see it he know the road ahead, but trusting that is the most difficult...
I pray your blessings are abundant & you find peace while on your journey.

I am a teacher and we are going through a ton of budget cuts right now. I am almost 29 weeks pregnant and if all the cuts go through, 6% of our salery pay cut, losing an extra hour per day, and 30 extra days per year, I stand to lose $25,000 a year. I will still have a job but not one that pays well anymore. I say go for it! I didn't know 7 months ago when I got pregnant that this was a possibility but I totally believe that my baby and I will be fine. Everything will take care of itself! Hang in therd!

I live in Marion County. I wish I lived in Manatee!!

I'm a teacher as well - It makes absolutely no sense to me to lay off the teachers that already make the least money... Besides, it's not as if they would have less children to provide education to.... Are they just going to put 50 first graders in a classroom?? Crazyness, I think the gov. needs to look for cuts elsewhere.

To reply to your question - go for it! Have faith and know that things find a way of working out!

I am a teacher, too, and coulld possibly lose my job but that is not going to interfer with my decision to complete my final FET. I say go for it!
