So first appointment done & dusted and now know what's happening re appts etc so I plucked up the courage to discuss this with my boss as I was so worried about saying anything and always said I'd wait till first appointment so now it's off my chest xx

Hi I'm so so happy got all my dates for scans ect start my pill Thursday for 24 days then go back for more drugs . My egg collection is booked for 14th March . Can not believe it . So bloody happy at them moment . Appointment was great . I'm not telling my employer ( my line manager knows a bit ) but I'm going to book some time off , but I'm going to tell people that treatments further away like July time as want to keep it to myself and hope for a positive preg test. So I could have a Christmas baby 😊😊😊😊. So happy . Must try to be realistic too tho incase things don't go to plan but at the moment I'm bursting with joy !!! Xxxx

Well done, you're journey has begun and I wish you all the best of luck for every step of the way. I didn't tell my boss for our first cycle however I was on Menopur for my first round and I did turn me into a bit of a nutter and I had a couple of meltdowns at work, which must have looked very worrying from the outside as they didn't know what was happening to me. It's a very personal decision whether to confide or not confuse and depends on so many factors. I'm sure your employer/boss was supportive and can be more aware and understanding of what you're about to go through. Good for you lovely. Good luck with your treatment and your scans ahead xxx

I had to tell my boss due to ill be going for scans every other day and obviously I'd be 30 mins late every morning I have a scan so it's not so easy to dodge around and thought it would best also with my job!!! But now officially on our way. Xx

Went through the whole ivf process I've now got to wait until next period which is 2 weeks then I have to ring my nurse first day of period so she can book me a scan the following week then ill get shown how to do injections how long for what my actual protocol is!!! Then once I've started the injections I have to go for scans every other morning that's why I've had to tell my boss now cause I'll be 30 mins late in every other day so I've had no choice cause somebody will need to cover me on those days till I get in!!! Then will get a date for collection and then ill have to do trigger injection 36 hours before collection was told embryo transfer will be 3-5 days later. No hope is just screen name cause I need a lot of hope at the moment xx
