They are good like that, Farmgirl. When I need a chunk of time off work I get given a medical certificate that says I'm unfit for work because I'm "undergoing extensive medical testing and hospitalisation". It loosely translates to "BW is not coping right now, leave her alone!"

That said, most of the things that have had me in a state where I'm not coping are the things that don't normally happen for most people undergoing IVF - OHSS, an emotional break down after my first miscarriage and then another complete break down when I knew OHSS was coming again... It could just be a comparison thing - it looks to me that normal IVF wouldn't be that bad, but it's probably only because I've been through much worse. I'm certainly not going to tell anyone they can't find IVF hard just because they haven't experienced as many problems as I have!
