IVF- what to tell work?

Question

I will be starting my injections in about a week and then all the dr appointments begin. Anyone have advice for what to tell work and who did you share with? Very close with my co-workers, but haven't shared yet. Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer

Having gone thru this six times - my advice is to tell your boss and whoever covers for you immediately. Say you are getting fertility treatments. That you might be a tiny bit late on some days due to blood work. And that you will definitely miss 1 day due to retrieval and another due to implantation. They will understand.

Answer

I told my male boss and because him and his wife have been through it he is totally sympathetic.. I'm lucky !

Answer

I told my boss last that I'm starting IVF this month and she's been great. I haven't told any coworkers but needed her to know because of time off. Her response has been amazing and she said to make sure I tell her if the meds are getting to me and I need to take time off.

​I think its good to be honest so they can be supportive and understand why you're needing time off. 
​
​Hopefully work is supportive all the way through for you!!

Answer

We are heading there too-I decided to give a little insight just cause I feel like I'll need the support and also with my job coverage.. It's a tough call though
