i have a tendency to overthink things, and need a gut check.

im going on 4 years married, my husband and I own our home, are happily settled down and have been talking about when we’d like to start TTC for a couple of years now. I will be 30 next year.

ive been at my current company for a year and a half, and while I like it, I know it’s not forever. However, i would like to have my first baby while at this company, rather than starting the clock over somewhere else to earn paid maternity leave.

ive been off BCP for 1 month, but we are not yet trying. I would theoretically like to start after the holidays. After I quit the pill, I found out about a job opening with another team in my office. This would be a promotion / transfer in the same office, working with many of the same people just for a different boss. I’ve known the boss and have worked with her for 6 months, and have known the leaders above her for my entire 18 months with this company.

if I take the job in the new year, am I still able to TTC or will it be frowned upon to take the job in January and have a baby at the end of 2019? I really don’t want to delay…but I’m not sure if I should treat an internal move like I would a job at a different company and “earn my stripes” first ☹️
