This is a bit of a long one so apologies.
I am getting slightly ahead of myself but I’m pretty certain I am about to be offered a promotion at work in the next month or so. It would be a significant step up from my current role and a senior role within a large organisation (FTSE 250). I have done my current job for 4 years and feel like I do a good job of it, I’m committed and work hard but I have so much experience of it now that I don’t find it that challenging or time consuming and therefore not especially stressful.
If this opportunity had come along a few years ago, I would have absolutely jumped at the chance. However, I am trying to get pregnant although have been dealing with infertility for the past 5 years. I think it’s unlikely that I will fall pregnant very soon however I don’t think a new role and the stress it brings would be very conducive to falling pregnant, particularly given the challenges we’re already facing. I feel like I have put my life on hold the last few years so this actually feels like a glimmer in a pretty dark time, but I don’t want it to have a detrimental effect on my health.
I am really torn about what to do. On the one hand, I would like the challenge and the additional money would be a massive help. But on the other, I don’t think it’s worth risking my health for. Please help!
