Dear Anita,

Thank you for your reply.  I am not sure if I understand your reference/questions at the end of the post – in regards to a relocation correctly. But I will post the following and see if I attended to your thoughts.

Children, yes there is a time limit.  I am 33, and I am open to having children in the next year.  In fact, I am going to the gyn in the next month for a wellness check up to begin the conversation, and see my options as far as any lab work or anything I need sooner than later, as I am approaching that 35 year old mark, where infertility is a bigger and bigger issue.  I am already prepared for this, knowing half of my friends have gone through fertility treatments – yet, I am not jumping to any conclusions about my own self – just yet.

So to move to the other side of the country and jump into having children, away from our main support – his parents – sounds foolish.  Yes it does.  Especially given that his job prospect there is to start from scratch.

So then other places.  there are opportunities – perhaps in the Dallas area where he can join a large practice and have a stable job.

As far as working another specialty, no it is not an option – given his level of training and, specialization.  Which brings me back to above point, yes OC/SC I have an opportunity.  But he doesn’t.

Maybe it is best to go where he has a SOLID formal stable opportunity.  I will find something there too, even if part time – and focus on the next phase of my own personal life – having children.

Next option, stay here.  My job is fine here.  His isn’t great, but it isn’t out of the question.  Also things do open up here, albeit extremely competitive.

There are many “options” and roads to take…
