Work... :(

[Gingergirl17]

Hi Ladies,

I'm meant to start my first infection this week, I haven't really had a time to process it all (terrified of needles) I have actually been excited but its all come to a stop.. I have had a really tough, shit stressful week and I can feel it taking over.. Monday morning blues..

My boss doesn't have children, and the general baby talk in the office well, they bully and give pregnant women and give them a real hard time and since I have said about the IVF they are being funny with me and now trying to get me out.. (so they don't have to pay maternity) I feel like they are really trying to stress me out so I leave or because they want me to fail.. its quite sick how they are and I cant even look for another job..

sorry just needed to say or if anyone else had something similar?

hope you're all feeling ok and your journeys are going well

lots of love xxx

Hey, I’m so sorry to read this how awful there making you feel this way. Is there anyway you could be signed of for a week or 2 just why you get your injections under way that might give you a bit of breathing space to. My old work made out they were understanding but after my 3rd cycle made a lot of digs about have they’d had to support me and be flexible to allow me to go to appts and then even brought up the time off I’d had after I miscarried which was only 4 days. For me that was the last straw and I left which looking back now was the best decision I ever made but I understand that’s not always possible.

Good luck with your injections, they aren’t as bad as them seem and you do soon get use to them xx

Thank you for your reply yeah that is exactly what they have done to me its such a stressful time without all of this! I am going to have to make a decision in the new year to leave of not.

Hopefully the injections go ok

I'm truly sorry to hear you have been going through such a rough time at work. It may be helpful to talk things through with your doctor to see if they can sign you off work for period of time. I can't offer any advice on injections as I haven't had to take any yet but I do hope things get easier for you. Sending love and BIG hugs. My inbox is always open if you need a chat xxx

Thanks lovely, how are you feeling today?

[Gingergirl17 in reply to Positive2022]

better today.. my medication has turned up just trying to keep my mind off things plus the lady at the clinic gave me some good advise and is giving me early apportionment so they don't effect my job so they cant be more nasty than they already are... Hope you are ok.. when do you start? xx

I'm so pleased to hear you're feeling better lovely. Hope everything goes well for you. I'm sort of at the beginning of things... I've just started Clomid which is the first step. If this fails was told only other option would be IVF. Unfortunately, I have 'overstimulated' and consequently feel like crap at the moment but scan and bloods in January with change of dose so hopefully that will help. It's such an emotional rollercoaster isn't it? Just digesting things can be so hard. Hope you have a lovely Xmas and things get better for you at work xxx

Things like this make me so angry, I'd definitely get your GP to sign you off for a couple of weeks!

While you're resting after the ET use the time to brush up on your general working rights and especially those during pregnancy as hopefully you'll need it 🤞 this is a good place to start for that maternityaction.org.uk

Good luck xxx
