I told my work the truth... But when ever I needed a medical certificate for work the reason they put on it was "for hospitalisation and extensive medical testing". This was given for when I needed time off after a miscarriage and D&C, when I had really bad OHSS and again when I had a complete melt down in the lead up to another collection and know OHSS was coming again. They were even nice enough to give me medical certificates with just my doctor's name on them and not the name of the clinic.
As above, you aren't required to tell management anything related to medical problems unless it's a long-term issue involving return-to-work. If anyone asks you, and you're not comfortable telling them what's happening, just roll your eyes and say "oh doctors, they want to do more tests and stuff"
I forgot to mention that I only have one day of sick leave left atm so I will need to take some of my annual leave. I have plenty but it might require a bit more explanation....Oh well, hopefully this time I will get UTD and all my future appointments will be with obstetricians with no explanation needed
Can you just use the annual leave and say you just want a few days break? Nobody generally questions annual leave. Unless of course there is the worry it won't be approved.
If that's the case - I would just say "I am having a medical procedure done and as I have no sick leave left I would like to access my annual leave for the time that I will need" That way you don't need a certificate but they can't really not approve your annual leave request.
