[quote=Anonymous]I did six rounds of IVF and was a good responder every time (my problem was egg quality, not quantity). The only days I took off work were for the egg retrievals, because those required general anesthetic and the whole process took hours so it wasn't practical to work those days. But working FT and in person during everything right up to retrieval was never a problem. I just wore my looser clothes when I got a little bloated towards the end. Loose dresses can be your friend since you're looking at a summer cycle.

So sure, telecommute if you can, but I wouldn't stress about it if you end up having to go back into the office. It's not really that big of a deal and unless you have an extreme reaction, the bloating really isn't likely to be noticeable to anyone else. I developed mild OHSS in one of my cycles and even that bloating was easy enough to pass off as if I just gained a few extra pounds for awhile.

Wishing you lots of good luck, OP. I hope you are successful on your first try! (But even if you aren't don't despair. After all my cycles we did finally have a baby and it was all worth it.)[/quote]
