Hey all ❤

Wondering how everyone approached time off with work?
Did you take PTO, sick days, flexible working, unpaid leave?
Not sure how to approach this and what's reasonable to ask for!

Ivf last year. Covid helped because everyone was working from home, so travel wasn’t a complication.

I just blocked my calendar for the 30-90 min I needed for ultrasounds and blood work. I had the flexibility to control this without having to explain much. The few times I had a meeting conflict, I simply said I had a doctors appointment and didn’t make exceptions. I did take some calls in the car on the way to or from the clinic so that I minimized away time.

I took sick days for egg retrieval and 1-2 days after (soooo bloated and uncomfortable). One sick day for embryo transfer.

I did the same as you M1

For the actual egg retrieval I gave a heads up that I have a medical procedure and likely needed 2 days between Mon-Wed off but wouldn’t know for sure until I got closer. Then when I got closer confirmed 2 sick days for Mon/Tues. I ended up needing 3, I felt miserable, and called an audible that 3rd morning for a sick day.

I had a failed natural FET in Sep & did a mock transfer 2 weeks ago (HFET). Results came back Receptive. I got my period 2 days after stopping the PIO. RE mentioned I can start embryo transfer this week & did not need to wait for my next cycle. My periods are not always regular, so I like the idea of not waiting for them to start but also nervous if this could impact the embryo transfer as it would not follow the same timeline as that of the mock cycle. Anyone try this approach with success?
