really depends on your relationship with your boss to be honest. i did, for a while, just say i had medical appointments and then showed up with med certs - but they showed they were from FS (i think it said reproductive endocrinologist so it wouldn't take them much to work it out) so i fessed up - we were having trouble, i was having tests and procedures, some would be short notice, some i could plan around work - but i'd need flexibility. i never actually told them what part of a cycle i was at - it was simple "got a test in the morning, i'll be late" or "got tests tomorrow, won't be at work" (we had 220k round trip for u.s and any hospital related stuff!) - they were pretty good with it. i ended up speaking at length to site supervisor about how IVF worked (he should never have asked a hormonal chicky for details!) so he was the person who basically told my direct supervisor she wasn't to cause me any issues. even when i told my supervisor at the time that he was "f'n pathetic" at doing his job, supervisor backed me up!
