[quote=Anonymous]OP, we too are planning our first IVF/ICSI for January. Thanks for your post as I've learned a lot! I've actually spent quite a bit of time brainstorming creative ways to be off work when we get to the necessary dates, because my job is incredibly demanding and requires a high amount of response to my bosses and clients (ain't this the case for all of us in D.C....) I agree with 20:52 about not divulging everything initially - a few other IVFers have warned me about that, because it turned into many months and cycles, not just one. Some excuses I've pre-devised include: calling in with pinkeye (common affliction and no one will want to be around you!); the flu ('twill be the season!); staying home for maintenance guy to fix the broken furnace (also the season!); minor surgery for husband (I have no qualms about making him an accessory considering I am carrying most of the load on this, and colleagues are far less likely to ask you what the procedure is for); and root canal (you'll be able to beg off calling in from home!). I know some would question my morals about bald-faced lying, but I don't really care anymore when it comes to this stuff. [/quote]
