Answer

You don’t have to tell them anything. Personal business and that’s it. Good luck to you!

Answer

You can tell hr because they have to keep it confidential but you don’t need to tell your boss if you don’t want them to know. Hr can help you apply for fmla or medical leave if needed without anyone you don’t want to know knowing.

Answer

yes you should tell them, you can even apply for fmla to ensure you dont lose your job for missing time.

Answer

Probably tell your boss in confidence just so they know WHY and maybe are more understanding of asking time off.  I’d say it depends how close you are to your co workers or if you even want to tell them.  I’ve started having to ask for time off for those type of appointments and if/when we do conceive I will need A LOT of regular appointments made with my fertility doctor.  I think at that point I will definitely tell my boss, but I’ll most likely still keep it from my co workers who i share my office with.

Answer

I got lucky and my appointments were either before work, or on days I was off.  Now my OB appointments are hit and miss and I have had to go during work a few times.
