It’s so hard to go through FET prep (physical and mental toll) and manage a case. Anyone have advice on getting off this case and maybe doing something internal for the next few months?

The FET process was a breeze compared to the retrievals. The pregnancy however is not.

If successful, fingers crossed, you will be very very tired pretty immediately. Might get constipated, bloated and irritable… so for that i would try to get off the case. But the FET was easy

Also at the time of FET you will be ~3 weeks pregnant and symptoms start really once that little embryo impants at about day 5 or so post transfer

I am sorry you are going through this, and understand how you feel. Before making any decisions, I would consider what you will do if IVF is successful and you get pregnant. Are you going to be willing to go back to case work then? I only flag this because as someone who has done 3 IVF cycles and ultimately had a baby, it ended up being so much harder to juggle work and related travel during pregnancy than during IVF, so if you only have the ability to request an internal role for a few months, you may not want to use that up yet. But if you think you would potentially be able to extend the internal role, may make sense to go on and make the move now. Wishing you the best.
