Need good medical excuse for work! Help!

[nothing2lose]

Hi
Just about to embark on my second antagonist cycle. It is a back to back one so I had a couple of sick days just a fortnight or so ago for pickup. I don't want to tell work I am doing ivf but in a week to ten days i will need another three days off for pickup and transfer. I need a good excuse as to why I need the time off. But not death in family as that would not sit right at all. Grrrrr I hate lying!

Thanks!

How about that you have to go into the doctors for a minor procedure and you will need a couple of days off? You don't need to say any more then that and then your not lying...

Yeah. Problem is I used the d&c (which I actually ended up having) as my excuse last time. I wouldn't need anything related so soon again would I?

what about saying that it's a personal medical reason... they have no right to ask any more questions just a medical certificate which I'm sure you'll be able to get

You don't have to tell them what procedure. Just that you are having one.

"Hi Bob, Just indorming you that i won't be at work for the next three days (Or from 23th-27th) due to the fact I am having a minor medical procedure done, and need the time to recover. I will issue you with a medical certificate if required. Thanks Jan"

Yep, you do not have to tell them anything.. Just tell them the days you are having off and tell them you can either fax the med cert to them or bring it in when you return. Ask them what they would prefer.. Fax or bring in?? They DO NOT have to know ANYTHING!!
