Reverse Pregnancy Calculator

California teachers do not pay in to state disability so sick days have to be used for maternity leave.  If I run out of sick days, the cost to cover a substitute teacher is deducted from my paycheck.  So, in trying to plan for the best case scenario, which would be to deliver when school finishes in June, I needed to get pregnant this month... obviously that didn't happen. 

Now, the best case scenario (revised) would be to get pregnant this next cycle (Oct.) for a July delivery.

Taking a Break

Having to take a break this cycle - I have cysts leftover from last months cycle.  I was not really given much more information than that, and the fact that these are not uncommon.  If this had happened a couple of months ago, I would have wanted to understand every detail... but it didn't take me long to figure out I don't know much about reproductive endocrinology!  I now try to focus on the big picture, and as long as I understand the bottom line, I leave the details up to the doctors.
