Danielle • Married since Jan 2012, TTC #1 since Sept 2014, pregnancy losses Sept 2015 and Oct 2016, praying for our rainbow baby.
Bad news on my end: I'm unsure if we are going to keep trying for the next couple of months... I start my new job on the February 1st and I was looking into my benefits since it's a state job... And they don't cover maternity leave until you are there a year. Insurance covers expenses but there's no guarantee that they will hold my position or that I will get paid for it until I have been in their employ for one year. The job I'm leaving I built up enough suck time to cover 6 weeks so this absolutely sucks. Benefit though if I wait and get pregnant after, say, May, the state gives up to 12 weeks maternity leave instead of the 6 I would've gotten at Walmart... I'm so lost. I don't want to stop trying because this has taken so long and there's not even a guarantee that I'd get pregnant. I may wait to get the fertility pill ball rolling until May though instead of doing that next cycle as I was originally planning. What would you ladies do if you were in my shoes?
