Sushee, welcome back!! Hope you had a great holiday!
Jo, I work full time and I started a new job about 2 months before we started going down the IVF path. I really didn't know what to expect in terms of number of appointments etc so I decided to tell my boss what we were doing and that I would need some time off. Initially I took a couple of hours on a couple of days for the counselling session and the first meeting with my nurse where you get all of your drugs, instructions etc. All of my appointments for for BT's and ultrasounds I was able to make early morning before work.
It took a couple of days off for EPU and my transfer fell on a saturday so that was ok. This time with the FET, I will take a couple of hours the morning of the transfer and then head straight to work as it's so straight forward and painless. I found it quite easy to fit it all in. The hardest part I found was being extra hormonal at work (I was so sensitive to everything!)
I do think I could have quite easily gone through the whole process without telling work and if I was in my last job I would have. However, I didn't want to look like I was going to interviews or being sneaky as I am on contract and want to stay where I am!
Nic, bugger about DH being on night shift! It's so hard isn't it? The first 12 months we were TTC my DH was on night shift, so it was a bit tricky. Now he works days, but get's up at 4.30 so he's too tired at night! lol can't win!!!
Boo, have a great time in the NT. I haven't been back there for so long and would love to up for a holiday.
Spoke to my nurse a couple of days ago and we are waiting another month before doing the FET to try and get my normal cycle back. So, more waiting here. So, I think I will try and chart properly this month and try again for a natural BFP!
