Someone posted a news article not that long ago concluding that stress does not actually play that big a role in the success of a pregnancy. Now, conceiving naturally, that may be different. But, think about it, if stress really had much impact on a pregnancy, we'd barely need abortion clinics: who's under more stress than a woman with an unwanted pregnancy? So, I wouldn't let it deter you from ttc, BUT, and this is a big BUT, the first trimester of pregnancy, especially with the hormone support, you are likely not to feel very good, so if you can reduce the stress of your job, that would be a good thing.
