When it comes to scheduling your doctor visits you may have the luxury of living close to your fertility specialist and you may never have scheduling issues. For my husband and I we had to balance to 45 min drive to the doctor, scheduling around work, scheduling around school, making multiple trips to the doctor, dealing with the doctors schedule as well and making sure that everything coordinated with that wonderful 24 hour window of ovulation in my crazy cycle.
Dealing with that many schedules can make hitting the right time very difficult. One of the things I realized is that there were certain things that I couldn’t control so I had to control the things I could. I usually had Fridays off and would try to schedule things around my work schedule. If that didn’t work I would talk to my boss about the fact that I had a doctor’s appointment that I would be going to on my lunch break and that I may be late coming back. I was fortunate to have a boss that was pretty flexible with that and would allow me to make up the time latter.
If push came to shove and it didn’t work out to take a longer lunch, I would use sick time or personal time for the appointments. This was a last resort as I didn’t have much.
The biggest thing when scheduling the appointments is to see what your options are and to understand that you can get what you need to get done without telling the whole world what you are doing.
