new job but really want to start trying...
HI , just as it says really. I am a teacher and have started a new job in January. We had already decided that our TTC date would be June 2010 but we have discussed starting earlier but if we were lucky enough to fall pg. in the first month or two my worry would be telling work!
Anyone been in same situation or any advice? Does a couple of months make much difference?

Hi MrsMel - I cant imagine any employer being 'over the moon' if you did conceive early but at the end of the day they cannot show any resentment either. Check out direct.gov to find out your rights as an employee and recheck ur contract so there are no loopholes!
Good luck with whatever you decide to do

I think it is natural to feel an element of guilt telling your employer but I am hoping that the unbridled joy will swamp those feelings I think I will find it harder as I am planning on becoming a SAHM and probably not got going back so once I have a bfp that's it for a good few years.
I just think about it the other way though - my hubby will still have a good job and pay plenty of taxes so that's taken care of, I will go back to work once kiddies at school, and in a working life of 40-odd years, taking a couple of years out to have kids is not the end of the world.
