Fertility treatment and off work stress

[Piper1983]

I’m currently off work with stress. I have been undergoing fertility treatments and have had 4 failed rounds. It’s taken a toll on my mental health and I can’t face work. I work in a busy ante natal clinic so pregnancy is everywhere.
I have a meeting with my manager tomorrow and I know she is going to pressure me to come back to work. I am 40 and this is my final shot. Am I wrong to request more time off with my consultant? I just feel so low

May I ask what your work entails? Would it be possible to take a break and then find a job elsewhere? I don't think I would be able to work in that environment in your shoes as it is rubbing salt in an open wound.

I really hope things work out for you and you find peace. Please be kind to yourself and do whatever you need to get through this very tough time.
