Name change as don't want to be outted!

So I got a new job back in October, which I love. Genuinely love it. I won't say what I am but I have a responsible job.
In the last month I've had to call in sick twice. Migraine. Always suffered but never as frequently as this. Long story short, new meds, fingers crossed seem to help.
Anyway, my manager wants me to go into work and see her tomorrow. Hasn't said what for but I assume it's the two shifts I've had off with my head.
I'm panicking like mad now as I love my job and I don't want to get the sack.
I'm still on my probation period.
Am I worrying over nothing??
Thanks.

Just to add,
When I have a migraine it's full on (being sick, unable to move/function) not just a 'headache'

It's possibly just an automatic trigger that's caused the meeting. Because you've had 2 absence periods within the time frame.

Take in any meds or doctors notes you have had and I'm sure it'll be ok.

Maybe ask if there is anything you need to prepare in advance?

Have they confirmed your probationary period (you mentioned you started in October)

Not your fault you've had to take time off, but from their perspective twice in three months is a lot of sickness.

Is it really likely to be about your absence? That wouldn't be the first thing to cross my mind if my boss wanted to see me. It's good practice for her to keep in regular contact with you in the first few months anyway.

It's likely a trigger point, two days absence with just three months service is a lot.
