Buggirl,

Everyone in my office knows. I work in a small, open plan office so a bit hard to keep it a secret. I totally agree with the productive side of things. I was going to leave at 1pm but it would still put pressure on the rest of the office for the afternoon. All I can do is speak to my boss and tell him and see what he says. I have cried lots in the office so far with my cycles so they understand. But as usual, Im always thinking about work!

I too ended up leaving early last time when the clinic called to say I had a reading. I was a total mess!

My boss is very strange. He's known about IVF before I even started. Gave him reading material from the clinic which was especially for employers yet he has been very casual about it. When I went for my egg collection, he said good luck and he hasnt said anything since! I dont want to keep going on about it but it would be nice if he was more sympathetic and understanding about it all. After all, Ive been here for 19 years!!!

Thanks for your response. It was very helpful
