Taking too much on?

Hi all,

Im about to start a cycle for a sibling for my 3 year old.
This time is different. Obviously id like it to work, but i dont have the NEED to be a mummy like i did before, because i already am one. This is more for my boy. However, this time, we are funding it ourselves.
So, i find out Tuesday when i will start, i was going to push to start a week before OH SSR (which is on the 18th Oct) just so that im ready for retrieval pretty much straight after SSR (Give or take a week)
Whilst about to start this, i have also applied for a new job, in the same office, same department only under a smaller, different management team. Im not overly bothered if i get it or not.. part of me doesnt want it at all but the hours and flexibility are very appealing. I should find out in the next week or 2 whether i have the job. I have been open about me starting treatment so they are fully aware of what they will be taking on.
Aside from that, i have awful neighbours, and we want to move, plus we live in a 2 bed, so if all goes well, we will need to upsize. There is a house we are viewing today. Its available to move into at the start of November, probably right around the time of treatment and starting a new job!

My question is has anyone ever taken alot on and still been successful?

I dont want to postpone my cycle as i want to do it before im 35. Moving house doesnt particularly stress me out (ive moved alot) in fact its always quite exciting, but i worry all together will be too much

What do you think?

Best advice I had is just don't do anything you'll regret.

If you take on too much and you get a bfn will you feel guilty and question if it was your fault?

The only thing that got me through the whole journey was making sure I had no regrets x

Great advice from @hoping2018 I was in a similar position and found it helpful to have other things to think about other than the ivf it helped to have a life going on outside of the process so I couldn't obsessively think about every little thing worry to much. Good luck Thanks
