A question for those who have been there and done it. Just reading our orientation booklet (orientation appointments booked in a fortnight with Fertility Plus) and it looks like a LOT of scans etc. Did you work during IVF? I live and work on the shore and appointments/scans will be in Greenlane. I can't figure out how I work and go to everything, not to mention how the hormones/procedures might make me feel... Thanks for the input.

| Hi Auntie, I have recently had two rounds and worked up until after ER and then had the two weeks off. I felt the side effects for me were bearable to work with and it would have meant a lot of time off work. I work as a nurse so lots of shift work including nights which made it a little harder but it was fine, I thought it was more important to have the two weeks off following ER etc (I however never got to the stage of ET but felt I needed that time to recover). What is your work like as you will have an idea a few weeks in advance when your scans will etc to get some time off? Hope all that helps and if anyone on here wants some help just ask. |

| Thanks so much, I'm in a GP/A+M practice so no nights but also no afternoon shifts so harder to just do shifts around things. My boss will be (hopefully) very supportive but I am really hoping to keep it quiet from the rest of the staff - you know what nurses are like! Everyone would be very nice but also very nosy and whatever news I get - good or bad - I'd like to share with my husband first, not my whole workplace. I know I'll get more info post orientation but it's good to have an idea from those who have been there, done that, so thank you. |
