Hi Chez,
Hope you don't mind if i drop in. Yes your doctor will give you medical certificates but trust me i have done ivf numerous times and you will need at least 3 days off after egg pick up - at least i know i did every time, my clinic strongly suggests 1week off so they do the transfer in the same week - my clinic believes you need this time off - i'm lucky my boss is behind the ivf 100% and very supportive. Almost wraps me in cotton wool!
Good luck girls sending you all some
