I just made my first appointment with a fertility specialist. My OB/GYN and his urologistt have both recommended IVF so I'm hoping the specialist agrees and we start right away. Anyway, once the process starts, I understand from reading posts and from friends I've spoken to that I will be at the office A LOT. Can anyone tell me how much throughout the process? I'm just trying to prepare myself for how much work I'll be missing. I heard I'll be testing every day after the 2nd half of the cycle. Is that correct? And for those working, who told their employer? I know I don't have to but is it prudent to be honest? I'm torn here. I just started this job in July and I work for a corporation but my boss is pretty cool. I'm so new to all this so any advice would be appreciated.

" I've been thru 6 cycles so I can tell you that you most miss that much...it's the egg retrieval and 3 days of bed rest-so 4 max and sometimes they fall on the weekend.
