Ok, it’s overwhelming to think about and you think you need accommodations, but you do not. You can get most appointments very early am and they are quick. You will need a day off for implantation, but just take sick day. There will be a few appointments where you have to go see the doc, but just say “dentist.”
I really recommend just keeping it to yourself during interviews just like you should a pregnancy.
Once the offer is in hand you can ask about PTO and maternity policies. at that point you could also ask details about the PTO process, “like if I have dentist appt do in need prior approval or do I just block my calendar?” Laugh it off like you have a friend who had a manager who had to approve every lunch appointment or something.
I’m generally in favor of giving your employer the least amount of info possible. And with IVF you don’t want them making assumptions that you will be out a lot or taking maternity this year, when, while I hope that’s true, you never know. It makes no sense to flag yourself for a possible thing on an unknown timeline.
(I say this as a veteran of the 76 appointments it took for me- one round-at a clinic 30 min from my home and 30 from my office. No one suspected a thing.)
5-6 months if I recall. I think this included the IUI round insurance required. At one point you go in almost daily to check follicle size and count.
I would most definitely ask about their flex policies for appointments. I’ve never been through IVF but news flash once you’re a mother (which you will be!) the random appointments/need to leave early don’t stop. You will appreciate an employer who doesn’t make you jump through hoops for these types of things.
