Hi everyone - thanks for all your support over the past few days.

Hope you're all going well!

Just wanted to touch base with how you have all gone with work whilst on IVF. Last week when we were told our cycle would be cancelled I was pretty devastated as we weren't expecting that and I had two days off work as I was crying a lot. When I went back to work my boss called a meeting with me and my immediate supervisor and has asked for my doctor to provide a report on the potential effects of IVF and (as I also have major depression which is well under control) how it might affect that. Initially I was okay about it, but now I am thinking more why do they need a report? What happened this week was unexpected and I reacted as I think most people would - I know that we may get BFN in the future and I am prepared for that (at least as much as I can be) - but there was no way I could have been prepared for what happened this week.

So - why does my boss want a report? What would be the purpose of it? Do I have to provide it??? I do believe my boss has good intentions, but I kind of feel its a bit of an invasion of privacy - and there is no reason to believe IVF will impact on my depression (I hate it when people think any emotional reaction I have must be depression, when in reality it is just a normal emotion that anyone would have).

Wow! That's a long post!!! Anyway - if anyone else has experienced something similiar I would love to know what you did/would recommend etc. And if you are a manager it would be interesting to know what you might do as a boss.
