Hi all-well basically I’m wondering how others find working alongside IVF - the physical and emotional stresses of it as well as the time commitment expected.
I’m a teacher and I do struggle -getting time off and then rushing to apppintments and then having to get back to class. Luckily I managed a lot of my egg collection in my holidays otherwise it would have been a nightmare!
I have been wondering about asking to go four days a week -has anyone gone part time? If so did it help? When you feel sad and tired and stressed it’s also hard to get enthused for work everyday and I feel like a day off a week would give me some joy to do something fun with.
The other question I have though is -money-luckily we have two NHS rounds it after that need to start paying so really wondering if we can afford for me to drop a day when we might need serious cash soon!
Any thoughts on any of this and experience of others would be great. Thank you. If I’m going to ask to go to 4 days I need to do it soon before the start of the new school year. Not sure what to do!
