Managing work whilst going through fertility treatment can be difficult. An understanding employer can make all the difference, and confiding in a trusted manager/HR manager can help make the process easier.
My video below talks through some tips on coping at work and how you can get support.
There are a lot more resources around now that can offer advice and support in managing work and fertility treatment.
My IVF Positivity Planner includes a section on juggling work and treatment, with advice and a plan to help you work out how you can balance work and get the support you need.
The reality is that, sadly, more IVF cycles end without a pregnancy than result in one. That doesn't make receiving a negative result any easier, particularly when you've spent weeks or months building up to that moment and allowing yourself to imagine what life might look like if it worked.
When you first start IVF, you imagine it’ll be full of hope and a team of people helping you move closer to your dream of having a baby. And while that’s true, what most people don’t talk about is how IVF can slowly chip away at your sense of dignity.
In this latest conversation in my ‘Taking Control’ series, I’m joined by the lovely Julianne Boutaleb, Perinatal Psychologist, to talk about the emotional impact of infertility and the things we can do to protect our mental wellbeing along the way.
